  • 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.

  • Liover Peguero SS | PIT

    Pirates' Liover Peguero: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Pirates recalled Peguero from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

    Peguero, 24, has slashed .258/.309/.382 with one home run and three stolen bases this season with Indianapolis. He'll likely operate in a utility infielder role for Pittsburgh.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homers in win

    Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

    Perdomo made an impact for a second straight day in New York, belting his fifth home run of the season in the fifth inning. After 31 games, he's one shy of the career-high six big flies he produced over 144 games in 2023. The shortstop is off to a similarly hot start as he had that season, only this time around luck (.263 BABIP) hasn't been inflating his numbers.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Tallies three hits Thursday

    Turner went 3-for-4 with one run scored in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Nationals.

    All three of Turner's hits resulted in singles, and he came around to score in the sixth inning on a Nick Castellanos infield single. Turner has collected three hits or more in three of his last four games and has gone 13-for-30 with five runs scored and five RBI over his last seven outings. He ranks in the top-15 in the National League in hits (34), steals (six) and batting average (.298).

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Goes deep in win

    Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two total runs scored in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Pirates.

    Some early-season struggles pushed Swanson down in the batting order recently, but he's responded well to the move. Over his last three games, the shortstop has gone 6-for-11 with two home runs. For the year, Swanson is now batting .213 with six long balls, and he seems to be snapping out of his slump.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Exiting lineup Thursday

    Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

    Kiner-Falefa had started each of the last nine games while batting .303 with a stolen base, three runs and two RBI, but he'll get a breather while Pittsburgh wraps up its series with Chicago with a day game after a night game. Jared Triolo will pick up a start at shortstop in place of Kiner-Falefa.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Drives in four Wednesday

    Betts went 2-for-4 with a triple, two runs scored and four RBI in Wednesday's 12-7 win over Miami.

    Betts extended the Dodgers' lead to 3-0 in the third inning with a two-run single before driving in two more runs with a triple in the sixth. Betts is starting to heat up at the plate, going 6-for-17 (.353) with eight RBI in his last four games following a 4-for-35 (.114) slump in his previous nine contests. Overall, he's slashing .250/.339/.407 with four homers, 19 RBI, 19 runs scored and two stolen bases across 124 plate appearances this year.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Plates three in victory

    Perdomo went 1-for-1 with three RBI and a stolen base in a 4-3 win over the Mets on Wednesday.

    Perdomo began the game on the bench, but he ended up making a big impact on the outcome anyway. The switch-hitting shortstop entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and gave Arizona its first lead with a two-run single. Perdomo then tacked on another run with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. He's already at 24 RBI through 30 contests on the campaign, putting him more than halfway to his career-high mark of 47 RBI established over 144 regular-season games in 2023.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Swipes two more bags in matinee

    De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    The star shortstop then went 2-for-3 with a run scored in the nightcap -- the only run the Reds would score across the entire twin bill. De La Cruz leads the majors with 13 steals through 31 games to go along with a .281/.348/.438 slash line, five homers 21 runs and 24 RBI. He's currently in the midst of a 14-game hit streak and is batting .352 (19-for-54) during that stretch.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Goes yard twice in matinee

    Winn went 2-for-3 with two walks, two solo home runs and a stolen base in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Reds.

    The 23-year-old shortstop hadn't gone yard since he hit his first homer of the year April 7, but Winn crushed a Brady Singer sinker to left field in the first inning before capping a back-to-back-to-back set of long balls off Alexis Diaz in the ninth. Winn then went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in the nightcap. Since returning from back trouble about a week ago, he's gone 9-for-28 (.321) over the last eight games.
