  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homers in loss

    Perdomo went 1-for-7 with a solo home run in losses to the Reds on Friday and Saturday. The Friday game was suspended due to rain and completed Saturday.

    Perdomo homered during the Friday portion of the first game, which was suspended after six innings with score tied 3-3. Since being moved up in the order a week ago, Perdomo has gone 3-for-25 over six games.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Reaches three times in win

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored, a double and a walk during Saturday's 11-10 extra-inning win over the Rays.

    June has been a kind month to Edwards so far as he's now recorded a hit in four of the five games he's played. The 25-year-old is 9-for-18 with four runs scored, three doubles, three RBI, two walks and just one strikeout. He is slashing .284/.355/.326 on the season, so it's good to see him getting some extra-base hits.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Three hits, two steals in return

    Lindor (toe) went 3-for-5 with two stolen bases in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

    Lindor was out of the lineup due to a broken right pinkie toe over the previous two days. He came off the bench Friday and resumed a starting role at shortstop Saturday. Considering he swiped two bags in this contest, there should be minimal concern about his injured toe going forward. The shortstop has hit safely in 10 of his last 12 games, going 17-for-48 (.354) in that span. He's up to a .289/.360/.498 slash line with 14 home runs, 13 steals, 38 RBI and 42 runs scored over 63 contests this season.

  • Jett Williams SS | MIL

    Mets' Jett Williams: OK after HBP

    Williams avoided a concussion after being hit in the helmet by a pitch Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Williams was hit by a fastball that was traveling 98 mph. He will miss a few days but is expected to be back in Double-A Binghamton's lineup quickly.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Back in action

    Lindor (toe) is leading off and playing shortstop Saturday against the Rockies.

    Lindor broke his right pinkie toe during Wednesday's matchup against the Dodgers. He was out of the lineup for two consecutive games as a result but was able to enter Friday's contest as a pinch hitter and delivered a two-run double. Lindor is now back in the lineup and in his customary leadoff spot.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Big day from top of order

    Turner went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates.

    The Phillies managed only seven hits in total on the night, with Turner being the only one to record multiple knocks. The All-Star shortstop has banged out five extra-base hits (three doubles, two homers) over the last five games, and over the last 20 contests he's slashing .318/.359/.600 with five long balls, seven steals, 16 RBI and 18 runs.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Two-run double as pinch hitter

    Lindor (toe) went 1-for-1 with a two-run double in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.

    Lindor was held out of the Mets' starting lineup due to a broken right pinkie toe, but he was brought in as a pinch hitter for the ninth inning with the game tied 2-2. He didn't waste time making his presence felt, as he smacked the second pitch of the at-bat to right field to bring home Pete Alonso and Juan Soto before being replaced by Luisangel Acuna to run the bases. Despite the injury, Lindor could be back in the lineup at some point during the weekend series, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Another multi-hit game

    Betts went 3-for-4 with a double in Friday's 5-0 loss to the Cardinals.

    Betts recorded three hits for the fourth time this season, but he wasn't able to cross home plate as the Dodgers were blanked for the fourth time this season. Betts was diagnosed with a fractured toe Monday, but he has gone 7-for-14 with three runs scored and one RBI since.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Out of lineup Friday

    Lindor (toe) isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against the Rockies.

    Lindor is dealing with a broken right pinkie toe and isn't expected to require a stint on the injured list. However, he's not feeling well enough to start Friday, so Ronny Mauricio will fill in at shortstop. It's unknown when Lindor will be back in action, as it's entirely up to his pain tolerance. Per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, manager Carlos Mendoza said Friday that he wouldn't be surprised if Lindor returned sometime this weekend.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Back in lineup

    Bogaerts (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth against the Brewers on Friday.

    Bogaerts was out of the lineup against the Giants on Thursday while nursing a sore left shoulder. However, the issue doesn't appear to be a serious one as he's back in the lineup for Friday's series opener. The veteran shortstop has slashed .233/.311/.311 with seven steals, two home runs and 13 RBI across 119 plate appearances since the beginning of May.
