  • Pirates' Termarr Johnson: Collects two hits in return

    Johnson (knee) went 2-for-5 with a double and one run scored during Sunday's game against Double-A Somerset.

    Johnson picked up a minor knee injury during Friday's matchup against the Patriots, but it only sidelined the 20-year-old for one game. His quick return to the field is positive news for the organization, which hopes to see the young prospect take another step forward in 2025 after struggling in his brief taste of action at Double-A a season ago.

  • Mason McCoy SS | SD

    Padres' Mason McCoy: Recalled by San Diego

    The Padres recalled McCoy from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

    The move corresponds with the Padres placing Luis Arraez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list. McCoy wasn't able to crack the Opening Day roster and started the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .328/.425/.522 with two stolen bases, 13 runs scored, one home run and 16 RBI in 81 plate appearances. He appeared in 19 regular-season games (16 starts) for the Padres in 2024, all at shortstop.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Three hits, including homer, in win

    Lindor went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Cardinals.

    Lindor led off the game for the Mets with a solo home run off Sonny Gray in the bottom of the first inning. He added two singles and scored a pair of runs later in the contest. Lindor is now batting .271 with three home runs, nine RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases over 21 games in 2025.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Homers twice in rehab game

    Winn (back) cranked a pair of solo home runs in his second rehab game with Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

    After starting at shortstop in his first rehab game Friday and striking out in all three plate appearances, Winn was in the designated hitter spot Saturday and went deep twice. Recovering from lower-back spasms, Winn remains on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday.

  • Thomas Saggese SS | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Rips two doubles against NYM

    Saggese went 2-for-4 with two doubles in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.

    Saggese was responsible for two of the Cardinals' three hits Saturday, both of which resulted in doubles in the second and fifth innings. It was Saggese's fourth multi-hit game of the year, two of which have come over his last three games. He's started the season slashing .433/.419/.633 with four runs scored, one home run and five RBI across 31 plate appearances, and he's making a case for regular playing time even once Masyn Winn (back) returns from the injured list.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Leads hit parade Saturday

    Turner went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-10 win over the Marlins.

    The Phillies didn't hit a home run on the afternoon among their 18 knocks, but six different players recorded multiple hits, which was led by Turner's four. The shortstop has had a sluggish start to the season at the plate, but he's more than capable of turning things around quickly. Through 19 games, he's now slashing .257/.337/.351 with one homer, five steals, six RBI and 12 runs.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Sitting Saturday

    Bogaerts is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday.

    Bogaerts will start Saturday's game in the dugout after going 3-for-21 with one run scored and five strikeouts over his last six outings. Jose Iglesias and Tyler Wade will start at shortstop and second base, respectively, against Astros right-hander Hayden Wesneski.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Not starting Saturday

    Kiner-Falefa is not in Pittsburgh's starting lineup against Cleveland on Saturday.

    Kiner-Falefa has recorded at least one hit in five of his last six games, going 6-for-20 with one stolen base, two runs scored and one RBI over that span. He'll be in the dugout for the beginning of Saturday's game while Jared Triolo starts at shortstop and bats seventh against Guardians right-hander Ben Lively.

  • Pirates' Termarr Johnson: Dealing with knee injury

    Johnson suffered a knee injury during Double-A Altoona's 12-1 loss to Somerset on Friday, Jarrod Prugar of DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

    Johnson sustained the injury in the seventh inning after colliding with a teammate in the outfield. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, and Altoona manager Andy Fox told reporters after the game that Johnson would undergo further testing Saturday to determine the severity of the injury. Johnson has begun the year in Double-A slashing .227/.346/.318 with eight walks, five stolen bases, seven runs scored, one home run and five RBI in 52 plate appearances.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Lands on IL with hip contusion

    The Rockies placed Tovar on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to April 16, due to a left hip contusion.

    Tovar was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Dodgers due to the left hip injury. The issue is severe enough to warrant a stint on the injured list, and how he responds to treatment over the coming days will help determine his timeline for a return. Aaron Schunk's contract was selected from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move, and he'll start at shortstop and bat ninth against the Nationals on Saturday. Kyle Farmer could also see some playing time at shortstop while Tovar is sidelined.
