  • Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA

    Braves' Ehire Adrianza: Set to work in left field

    Manager Brian Snitker said Adrianza is expected to play left field on a daily basis in the absence of Marcell Ozuna (fingers), Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Ozuna is set to be sidelined for at least six weeks with two fractured fingers, and Adrianza will receive first crack at replacing him in left field. The 31-year-old has been working as a utility man and has a .239/.278/.437 slash line with three homers in 80 plate appearances this season, but he'll now take on an everyday role. Johan Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill the utility role for Atlanta.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Shifts to injured list

    Rojas (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The 32-year-old suffered a dislocated left index finger Thursday, and it was only a matter of time before he shifted to the injured list. Rojas is eligible to be activated June 8, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined. Jazz Chisholm (ankle) and Jose Devers should work at shortstop in his absence for Miami.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Rejoins big-league club

    Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

    The 27-year-old was optioned to Triple-A on May 20, but he'll rejoin Atlanta on Friday with Marcell Ozuna (fingers) landing on the injured list. Camargo is 0-for-13 with a walk and five strikeouts in 11 appearances this season.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Swipes two bags in win

    Turner went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in a 5-3 win over the Reds, a game completed Thursday after being suspended due to rain the night before.

    The shortstop is the second player this season to reach double digits in homers and steals, following Fernando Tatis. Turner also collected one of the Nats' only two hits in Thursday's regularly scheduled contest, and he's slashing .327/.364/.495 in May with four homers, five steals, 14 runs and 16 RBI through 24 games.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Delivers four hits, four RBI

    Adames went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI Thursday against the Brewers.

    Adames delivered a clutch three-run home run in the seventh inning to put the Brewers ahead. It was his first extra-base hit since being traded to Milwaukee on May 21 and debuting one day later. Adames should remain locked into regular playing time, but he will need to decrease his 33.1 percent strikeout rate to improve his .217/.283/.395 line across 166 plate appearances this season.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Padres' CJ Abrams: Still not playing

    Abrams (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Double-A San Antonio on Thursday.

    Abrams has not played since limping off the field following a play at first base Saturday. He remains on the active roster and is considered day-to-day, according to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Sheds cast

    Seager (hand) was wearing a splint on his hand while running the bases prior to the Thursday's game, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Seager had been wearing a cast to protect his right hand, so there has apparently been some progress in his recovery. Even so, he'll be out until at least the middle of June according to the original timeline given by the club. Gavin Lux and Chris Taylor should continue to fill in at shortstop.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Rockies' Trevor Story: Officially day-to-day

    Story (arm) is considered day-to-day after he left Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Manager Bud Black confirmed after Thursday's doubleheader that Story's removal from the nightcap was precautionary, but he added that throwing could be a concern in the coming days. If Story misses any additional time, Brendan Rodgers could fill in at shortstop.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Headed to injured list

    Rojas will require time on the injured list after he suffered a dislocated finger Thursday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

    Rojas will undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury, but the the team is reportedly concerned about the issue. Jose Devers stepped in at shortstop Thursday, but Jazz Chisholm (ankle) could see most of the playing time at shortstop in Rojas' absence, while Isan Diaz could see increased time at second base.
