  • Jon Berti 3B | CHC

    Marlins' Jon Berti: Ends quarantine

    Berti (illness) rejoined the Marlins on Tuesday but has yet to be activated from the COVID-19-related injured list, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Berti was away from the team for approximately a week and a half before reporting to LoanDepot Park after he completed his quarantine. Because of the time he missed, Berti will likely need to turn in a few workouts over the next couple days before potentially heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend. If all goes well, Berti could make his return from the IL early next week. Upon his activation, Berti will likely fill a utility role for Miami.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Rips three hits including triple

    Crawford went 3-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Rockies.

    Crawford scored the Giants' second run as a Little League home run, hitting a triple and then heading home after Brendan Rodgers' relay throw to third base ended up in the dugout. That hit snapped Crawford's 0-for-10 skid at the plate over his three previous games. The shortstop also had an RBI single in the sixth inning. He's hitting .220/.309/.350 with three home runs, 15 RBI, 19 runs scored and a stolen base across 139 plate appearances. That general slump compared to 2021 has seen Crawford drop to the bottom half of the order after starting the season most often hitting third or fourth.

  • Nick Allen 2B | HOU

    Athletics' Nick Allen: Recalled by Athletics

    Allen was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Allen was sent down in early May, but he'll rejoin the major-league club after spending just over two weeks in Las Vegas. He's appeared in eight games for the Athletics this year and has hit .211 with two doubles, two runs and a stolen base. The 23-year-old should serve as infield depth now that he's back in the big leagues.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Dodgers' Trea Turner: Remains in starting lineup

    Turner is starting Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

    Turner has been dealing with a sore calf recently but hasn't missed any time and remains "playable," per manager Dave Roberts. The 28-year-old is in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak in which he's slashed .359/.444/.538 with a homer, four doubles, seven runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Swats second homer

    Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.

    He got the Marlins on the board with a fifth-inning shot off Joan Adon. Rojas has only two homers on the year -- the other coming April 29 -- but the shortstop has been looking better in May, slashing .271/.300/.396 over his last 14 games.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Reinstated from 10-day IL

    The Twins reinstated Correa (finger) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

    Correa sustained a finger injury May 5, and although he avoided a fracture, he still sat out nearly two weeks. The 27-year-old will serve as Minnesota's clear top shortstop now that he's healthy, while Royce Lewis will head to the minors to get more consistent playing time at positions other than shortstop. Prior to his absence, Correa hit .255/.320/.372 with two homers, five doubles, 12 runs and 11 RBI over 24 games.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Heads to IL

    The Brewers placed Adames on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a high left ankle sprain.

    The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so Adames will be eligible to come off the IL as soon as May 26. Though Adames has shown improvement since initially suffering the injury Sunday, the progress he made wasn't significant enough for the Brewers to feel optimistic about his chances of returning to the lineup by the end of the week. While Adames is on the shelf, Luis Urias is expected to take over as the everyday shortstop, with Milwaukee likely to run out a platoon of Jace Peterson and Mike Brosseau at third base.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Set to return from IL on Wednesday

    Correa (finger) will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's series finale in Oakland, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Manager Rocco Baldelli said after Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Athletics that Royce Lewis would be sent back to Triple-A St. Paul, clearing a spot on the 26-man active roster for Correa, who hasn't played since May 5 due to the right middle finger bone bruise. Though Lewis performed as arguably the Twins' top hitter during his 11-game run as the everyday shortstop, Minnesota won't be too disappointed to usher Correa back into the lineup. Prior to suffering the injury, Correa was hitting .255 with two home runs across 103 plate appearances in his first season in Minnesota.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Homers in return

    Pena went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Red Sox.

    Pena returned from a four-game absence caused by a knee injury, and he recorded his seventh home run of the season in his first plate appearance. He's also riding a 10-game hitting streak, during which he has gone yard three times while driving in 11 and scoring six runs. Pena has put together an impressive .282/.341/.536 line across 123 plate appearances to begin the campaign.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Goes deep in win

    Seager went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Angels.

    Seager launched his team-leading eighth homer in the first inning off Reid Detmers, giving Texas an early lead. He later initiated a comeback with a leadoff double in the eighth, setting the stage for a seven-run inning. Seager is batting .242 (32-for-132) for a team that ranks 27th in MLB with a .219 average.
