    Leading off the bottom of the eighth inning in a tie game, Baez launched a homer to right field off John Brebbia that provided the winning run. The 26-year-old shortstop leads the Cubs with 11 home runs and 26 RBI and is sporting a .318/.353/.659 slash line for the season.

  • Pablo Reyes RF | SD

    Pirates' Pablo Reyes: Optioned to Triple-A

    Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

    Reyes was sent down after hitting just .128/.190/.128 in 42 plate appearances. Kevin Newman (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Reaches thrice in win

    Adames went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Orioles on Friday.

    Adames continued to make noise out of the bottom of the order, extending his hot start to the new month in the process. Adames is 5-for-11 with a double, two RBI, a walk and three runs over the first three games of May, raising his season average 28 points over that stretch.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Productive in low-scoring loss

    Gordon went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Indians on Friday.

    Gordon led off and produced one of only two multi-hit efforts for the Mariners. The speedy keeper of the keystone is now slashing .304/.331/.400 over 126 plate appearances following his third multi-hit tally in four games, and he's logged an impressive 90.0 percent success rate on his 10 stolen-base attempts thus far.

  • Jose Barrero SS | BAL

    Reds' Jose Garcia: Healthy at High-A

    Garcia (elbow) returned to action for High-A Daytona on Friday, going 1-for-5 with a strikeout and a run.

    He exited Thursday's game with an elbow injury, but it was apparently very minor, as he was right back in there the next day.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Strong batting eye

    Perdomo is hitting .234/.385/.325 in 96 plate appearances at Low-A Kane County, with 17 walks and 17 strikeouts.

    Perdomo isn't hitting for power, but keep in mind that he's 19 years old at his first stop in full season ball. He also has six stolen bases in nine attempts so far.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Hitting fourth Friday

    Seager is hitting cleanup against the Padres on Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Seager drops from second to fourth in the order for this matchup against San Diego's Eric Lauer. He'll look to get it rolling at the plate as he has just one hit in his last 24 at-bats, but the left-handed Lauer could present him with a tough matchup, as Seager is just 6-for-39 against southpaws this season.

  • Jose Barrero SS | BAL

    Reds' Jose Garcia: Exits with elbow injury

    Garcia exited Thursday's game for High-A Daytona with an elbow injury, Tortugas play-by-play announcer Justin Rocke reports.

    He was hit by a pitch on the elbow in the first inning and did not return after a rain delay in the second inning. Garcia has not yet been placed on the injured list, so he should be considered day-to-day.
