  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swipes eighth bag

    Edwards went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the A's.

    The shortstop swiped a bag for the second straight game, giving him eight steals in 10 attempts through 33 contests on the season. Edwards said early in spring training that he was aiming for 60 stolen bases this year, but he'll need to pick up his pace significantly to meet that goal. Getting on base more often would help -- after delivering a .328 batting average and .397 OBP in his breakout 2024, Edwards has seen those marks drop to .259 and .329 to begin the current campaign.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Ankle sprain considered mild

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that the left ankle sprain that forced Winn from the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets is "mild" in nature, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Winn initially remained in the game after getting injured during the third inning, but he was replaced in the field prior to the fifth inning after the ankle swelled up. Winn looks poised to avoid a stint on the 10-day injured list, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he gets a day or two of rest.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Productive in doubleheader

    Lindor went 2-for-9 with three RBI, one stolen base and a walk as the Mets were swept in Sunday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

    All of Lindor's run production came in the day game, as he drove in three runs in the Mets' failed comeback attempt. His steal was in the nightcap, giving him three thefts on four attempts this season. The 31-year-old shortstop has maintained a .290/.357/.457 slash line with six home runs, 19 RBI, 22 runs scored and five doubles over 34 contests atop the Mets' order.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Belts two homers

    Adames went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and three RBI in Sunday's win over Colorado.

    Adames was red hot out of the gate Sunday, going deep in the first and third innings. He added an RBI double during the Giants' three-run fifth inning. Entering Sunday, Adames had just two extra-base hits over his previous 16 appearances. He's collected multiple hits in three of his last six games and has slowly broken out of his early-season funk. Adames is slashing .230/.312/.363 with 10 extra-base hits and 18 RBI this season.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Exits early in Game 2

    Winn exited Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets in the top of the fifth inning with a left ankle sprain, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Winn twisted his ankle in the bottom of the third inning when he tripped over third base while avoiding a collision with third baseman Mark Vientos. Winn was able to tough it out for another frame but ultimately had to exit the contest, bringing his night to a close after going 1-for-1 with a walk and a run scored in the game. Jose Barrero replaced him at shortstop, and the severity of Winn's injury is currently unclear.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Fuels offense in extra-inning win

    Perdomo went 4-for-5 with two steals, two doubles, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning victory at Philadelphia.

    The Arizona shortstop shined brightly in this performance, notching his first career four-hit game. This game also marked the fifth time Perdomo has swiped two bags in a contest in his five-year career. The 25-year-old continues his stellar start, as he's now slashing .292/.400/.475 with five homers, nine steals, 29 RBI and 18 runs scored across 152 plate appearances.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Drives in three

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

    Bogaerts opened the scoring with a two-out, RBI single in the first inning before driving in two more runs in the second with a double. It's an encouraging effort from the 32-year-old Bogaerts, who'd gone just 4-for-29 (.138) in his previous eight games. Overall, Bogaerts is slashing .243/.333/.348 with one homer, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored and six steals through his first 132 plate appearances this season.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Sitting out early game

    Winn is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets.

    Since returning to action April 22 following a stint on the injured list due to a back issue, Winn has been one of the hottest hitters in the Cardinals lineup, slashing .333/.390/.611 over his last 10 games. The shortstop has settled in as St. Louis' No. 2 hitter, but manager Oliver Marmol said that the 23-year-old will get some preventative maintenance for his back in the first game of the twin bill, per John Denton of MLB.com. Jose Barrero will fill in for him in the matinee, but Marmol confirmed that Winn will be back in the starting nine for the nightcap.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Goes deep again Saturday

    Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Brewers.

    Swanson has now gone deep three times over his last five games, and he has seven home runs overall for the year. The shortstop has been better following a slow start, as he's slashing .308/.357/.615 in his last 10 contests, pushing his season numbers up to .215/.262/.422.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Moved to injured list

    The Pirates placed Kiner-Falefa on the injured list Saturday due to a right hamstring strain.

    Kiner-Falefa hadn't played since Wednesday due to the injury, and the issue is serious enough to warrant a trip to the IL. With Kiner-Falefa out of action, Jared Triolo will likely take over as the team's everyday shortstop. The Pirates selected the contract of pitcher Tanner Rainey from Triple-A Indianapolis and moved pitcher Justin Lawrence (elbow) from the 15-day to the 60-day IL in corresponding transactions.
