    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.

  • 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.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Remains out Saturday

    Kiner-Falefa (lower body) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against San Diego.

    Kiner-Falefa will begin on the bench for a third consecutive contest as he continues do deal with a lower-body injury. It's not yet clear how much time the versatile veteran will miss, but at this point there's been no word of an extended absence. Jared Triolo will make a third straight start at shortstop in Kiner-Falefa's stead Saturday.

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Stays hot in Friday's loss

    Winn went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Mets.

    The 23-year-old shortstop produced his third multi-hit performance in the last four games, with the only real blemish on his line being a caught stealing. Winn has been locked in since returning from back spasms, batting .333 (12-for-36) over the last 10 games with four doubles, two homers, two steals, five RBI and eight runs.

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Continues to heat up with solo shot

    Betts went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

    Betts extended his hitting streak to five games Friday, which also includes a three-game multi-hit streak, and he ended a 13-game homerless drought. The star shortstop now has eight multi-hit games under his belt in 2025. Across his last eight contests, Betts is batting .324 (11-for-34) with a double, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Not in Friday's lineup

    Kiner-Falefa (lower body) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

    The 30-year-old was forced to the bench Thursday due to the lower-body issue after a run of nine straight starts, and he remains out of the starting nine Friday. Jared Triolo will receive another start at shortstop in place of Kiner-Falefa.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Nursing lower-body injury

    Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Friday that Kiner-Falefa has been dealing with a lower-body injury, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    It helps explain why Kiner-Falefa was not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Cubs. Consider the infielder day-to-day for the time being. With Kiner-Falefa banged up, Liover Peguero was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday as middle-infield protection.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Back to ninth after Marte's return

    Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Perdomo batted either first or second in all of his starts since April 5 after Ketel Marte (hamstring) went on the injured list, but with Marte back and batting leadoff Friday, Perdomo has returned to the bottom of the order. The switch hitter is batting .275/.387/.459 with five homers and seven stolen bases this season.
