MLB Player News

Turner went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in a 5-3 win over the Reds, a game completed Thursday after being suspended due to rain the night before.

The shortstop is the second player this season to reach double digits in homers and steals, following Fernando Tatis. Turner also collected one of the Nats' only two hits in Thursday's regularly scheduled contest, and he's slashing .327/.364/.495 in May with four homers, five steals, 14 runs and 16 RBI through 24 games.

Chang went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-2 win over Detroit.

Chang hasn't seen much playing time lately -- he's played in only 12 games in May. The infielder is slashing a meager .149/.183/.209 with no home runs, six RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base through 71 plate appearances. He started at shortstop Thursday in place of Amed Rosario (hand). With another utilityman in Owen Miller on the big-league roster, Chang's path to playing time has gotten a bit more difficult.

Adames went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI Thursday against the Brewers.

Adames delivered a clutch three-run home run in the seventh inning to put the Brewers ahead. It was his first extra-base hit since being traded to Milwaukee on May 21 and debuting one day later. Adames should remain locked into regular playing time, but he will need to decrease his 33.1 percent strikeout rate to improve his .217/.283/.395 line across 166 plate appearances this season.

Bichette went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Yankees in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

Bichette played long ball in the matinee and followed up with another homer in the nightcap, his 11th this season. His batting average could use some work (.272), but Bichette is on a 30-homer pace and he's running more than he did his first couple years in the majors. He's a fantasy star with superstar upside.

Bichette went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 2-0 win over the Yankees in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader.

Bichette followed up Marcus Semien's two-out home run in the third inning with a long shot of his own to increase the Blue Jays' lead to two runs. It was Bichette's 10th homer of the season. The 23-year-old did not strike out for the first time in eight games. He is slashing .274/.319/.498 in 214 plate appearances. Much like Semien, Bichette is a dual power-speed threat, adding seven steals on the season.

Abrams (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Double-A San Antonio on Thursday.

Abrams has not played since limping off the field following a play at first base Saturday. He remains on the active roster and is considered day-to-day, according to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Seager (hand) was wearing a splint on his hand while running the bases prior to the Thursday's game, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Seager had been wearing a cast to protect his right hand, so there has apparently been some progress in his recovery. Even so, he'll be out until at least the middle of June according to the original timeline given by the club. Gavin Lux and Chris Taylor should continue to fill in at shortstop.

Story (arm) is considered day-to-day after he left Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Manager Bud Black confirmed after Thursday's doubleheader that Story's removal from the nightcap was precautionary, but he added that throwing could be a concern in the coming days. If Story misses any additional time, Brendan Rodgers could fill in at shortstop.

The White Sox anticipate that Anderson, who is dealing with a sore left thumb in additional to general body soreness, will be ready to rejoin the lineup Friday against the Orioles, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Anderson will be on the bench for the second straight day in Thursday's series opener, but the White Sox appear to be holding him out merely as a precaution. The 27-year-old had been stuck in a 3-for-30 slump over his past seven starts, so the time off should not only help him recover from his minor injuries, but it should also help him refine his approach at the plate.

Rojas will require time on the injured list after he suffered a dislocated finger Thursday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Rojas will undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury, but the the team is reportedly concerned about the issue. Jose Devers stepped in at shortstop Thursday, but Jazz Chisholm (ankle) could see most of the playing time at shortstop in Rojas' absence, while Isan Diaz could see increased time at second base.
