    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Progressing as expected

    Seager has had no problems in his recovery from a broken right hand, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    The shortstop explained Saturday that he has been undergoing weekly scans on his hand to ensure that healing is happening as hoped. There have been no setbacks so far, and Seager has progressed to throwing and squeezing a bat with his injured right hand. He has yet to swing a bat with both hands, though, and he remains multiple weeks away from a return.

  • Royals' Adalberto Mondesi: Still sidelined Saturday

    Mondesi (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Despite his removal Monday being dubbed precautionary by manager Mike Matheny, Mondesi hasn't played since then. Having not placed the 25-year-old on the injured list, the Royals must expect him to return within a few days, but his exact status may remain unclear until he appears in a lineup once again. Nicky Lopez will fill in at shortstop Saturday.

    Rays' Joey Wendle: Not starting Saturday

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Registers lone hit

    Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 loss to Milwaukee.

    Ahmed's eighth-inning single broke up Freddy Peralta's no-hit bid and was Arizona's lone hit. He extended a modest hit streak to five games (9-for-19, .474) and stole his third bag of the season.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Belts leadoff homer

    Crawford went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Friday's loss to the Angels.

    Crawford collected two of the Mariners' six hits in the contest and knocked in both of the team's runs. He began the game with a 430-foot solo homer and notched another RBI with a sacrifice fly in the third. Crawford has collected at least one hit in six of his past seven games, hitting .321 with a pair of homers and four RBI over that span.

  • Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU

    Astros' Aledmys Diaz: Stays hot Friday

    Diaz went 3-for-6 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 13-1 win over Toronto.

    The utilityman got aboard with a single and scored the opening run on Yordan Alvarez's RBI double in the fourth inning. In the seventh, Diaz added a solo shot, his third homer of the year. The 30-year-old is slashing .281/.339/.439 with 18 RBI and 14 runs scored across 124 plate appearances. He's 8-for-21 (.381) during his personal five-game hitting streak -- if he remains hot at the plate, his defensive versatility should help him stick in the lineup.
