Cruz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored Saturday against the Cubs.

Cruz got off to a slow start to the season, though he's managed multiple hits in four of his last five starts. He's hit .500 in that span with two home runs while collecting six RBI and five runs scored. Importantly, Cruz has greatly cut down on his strikeout rate, as he's punched out multiple times in a game only three times in his last 17 starts and struck out at a respectable 23.8 percent clip in that span.

Arcia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 4-1 win against the Mets on Saturday.

Arcia tagged prized Mets rookie pitcher Christian Scott for a two-run blast in the third inning to give Atlanta an early lead. It was Arcia's second homer over his past three games after we went deep just twice over his first 33 contests of the campaign. The shortstop slugged a career-best 17 long balls last season.

Anderson was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Phillies with lower-back tightness, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Vidal Brujan will shift to shortstop while Otto Lopez enters the lineup at second base.

McLain (shoulder) was cleared Friday to throw and run, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

McLain could start swinging a bat in about six weeks, which the infielder said would help determine a clearer timeline to complete his rehab. Both McLain and manager David Bell reaffirmed the goal for McLain to return this season.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to Atlanta.

The veteran shortstop took Charlie Morton deep in the seventh inning to get the Mets on the board, but they were already facing a 4-0 deficit at that point. Lindor has had a good start to May, batting .276 (8-for-29) through eight games with 10 RBI, but on the season he still carries a disappointing .212/.282/.404 slash line with seven homers, four steals, 21 RBI and 22 runs in 37 contests.

Winn went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 11-2 loss to the Brewers.

Winn appears to be finding his swing again. He's 4-for-14 (.286) over his last five contests, although the young shortstop has still gone 20 games without a multi-hit effort after having seven of them in his first 15 contests this season. Winn is 6-for-7 on stolen base attempts and is batting .267 with a .683 OPS through 120 plate appearances on the year.

De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

De La Cruz stole a base after each of his hits, no doubt taking advantage of the Giants starting their fourth-string catcher, Jakson Reetz, in this contest. This was De La Cruz's third straight game with multiple steals, and he's achieved that feat seven times already this season. The speedy infielder is up to 25 thefts on 29 attempts in 2024 while maintaining a .271/.370/.519 slash line through 38 games. He's added eight home runs, 20 RBI, 28 runs scored, seven doubles and a triple while serving as the Reds' No. 2 hitter.

Adames went 3-for-4 with three doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's victory over St. Louis.

Adames managed to collect all three of his doubles off different Cardinals pitchers -- Lance Lynn in the second inning, Matthew Liberatore in the fifth and Kyle Leahy in the seventh. With his effort Friday night, the Brewers shortstop has already reached double digits in the category, sporting 10 doubles on the season. Overall, Adames is slashing .265/.351/.476 with seven home runs, 23 runs scored and 27 RBI over 168 plate appearances.

The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

With Nick Ahmed (wrist) headed to the injured list, Schmitt will come up from the minors to serve as infield depth. The 25-year-old has spent all of 2024 with Sacramento, slashing .269/.313/.440 with 31 RBI across 147 plate appearances, and he will get the start at shortstop Friday against the Reds.

The Giants placed Ahmed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left wrist sprain.

Ahmed appeared to have sustained the injury on an awkward swing during an at-bat in the third inning during Thursday's game against Atlanta. Tyler Fitzgerald pinch hit for Ahmed in his next plate appearance. Casey Schmitt, who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move, is starting at shortstop and batting seventh for Friday's game against the Reds, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.
