  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Day off Sunday

    Rojas is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Rojas started the last five games and will take a seat after going 6-for-21 with three doubles, two RBI and five runs during that stretch. Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) is back from the injured list and starting at shortstop Sunday while Isan Diaz remains at second base.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: On base thrice in win

    Adames went 1-for-3 with a two-run double, two walks and two runs in a win over the Mets on Saturday.

    It was an extremely rare taste of offensive success for Adames, who's slashing just .187/.237/.341 even when factoring in Saturday's productive day. The 25-year-old has shown some signs of life at the plate over the last 10 games by hitting .242 with two doubles, two home runs, six RBI and six runs during that span, but he's also struck out at a mammoth 48.6 percent clip in the sample.

  • David Fletcher 2B | ATL

    Angels' David Fletcher: Nursing groin injury

    Fletcher will not be in the lineup Sunday as a result of a groin injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    It's the same groin issue that Fletcher came down with in Houston earlier this week. He has been trying to play through it, but Fletcher is 0-for-his-last-17. Jose Rojas will lead off in the finale in Boston, followed in the order by Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Strikes homer in win

    Correa went 2-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over Texas.

    Correa knocked an opposite-field blast to cap a four-run first inning and is coming back from a slump that began when the calendar flipped to May. The slugging shortstop is 6-for-13 with two RBI and seven runs scored and has reached base safely 11 times over the last four games. He and Kyle Tucker, who bats seventh behind Correa, have authored turnarounds this month, making the order deeper.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Power surge continues

    Crawford went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Pirates.

    The veteran shortstop remains red hot in May. Crawford has slugged five of his nine homers on the year in the last 10 games, slashing .345/.459/.862 during that stretch with 11 RBI, and he's already gone yard more often through 33 games in 2021 than he did in 54 games last season.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: X-rays show broken hand

    Seager suffered a broken right hand in Saturday's win over the Dodgers, ESPN reports. X-rays after the game revealed the fracture.

    The 27-year-old was removed from Saturday's contest after being struck on the right hand by a pitch. He's expected to be placed on the injured list Sunday.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: IL stint anticipated

    Manager Dave Roberts expects Seager (hand) to be placed on the injured list Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    The 27-year-old was removed from Saturday's contest after being struck on the right hand by a pitch, and he's dealing with some pain and swelling. Seager will undergo medical imaging to determine the severity of the injury, but it's safe to rule him out indefinitely with a trip to the injured list on the horizon.

  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Clubs three-run homer

    Bogaerts went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored during Saturday's 9-0 win over the Angels.

    The 28-year-old was in a 1-for-12 slump before busting out with a three-run shot Thursday, and he added another three-run blast during Saturday's contest. Bogaerts is playing like the best shortstop in the league with a .354/.414/.626 slash line, nine home runs, 13 doubles, 26 RBI and 24 runs through 39 games in 20201.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Leaves after HBP

    Seager was removed from Saturday's game against the Marlins after being hit by a pitch on the right hand, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    The 27-year-old appeared to be in significant pain after being struck by the 90-mph pitch during the fifth inning, and he was promptly lifted for a pinch runner. Seager's availability for Sunday's series finale versus the Marlins is now up in the air.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Rays' Joey Wendle: Records four hits

    Wendle went 4-for-5 with three doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 12-5 win over the Mets.

    The cleanup hitter was a nightmare for the Mets throughout Saturday's contest, playing a considerable role in the Rays' 12-run outburst. Wendle's average had fallen to .267 after a rough stretch at the plate, but is now back up to .289 on the season. The 31-year-old has hit three homers in 2021, but power isn't his forte. Rather, multi-hit performances like Saturday are what give Wendle his legitimate fantasy value.
