  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Three hits, steal in loss

    Meidroth went 3-for-5 with one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

    Meidroth recorded his first career multi-hit game and added his first major-league steal in the fifth inning. Recently moved into the leadoff spot, the rookie is hitting .269 with one RBI, four runs scored, a stolen base and an impressive 5:4 BB:K across 26 plate appearances this season.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Homers in win

    Henderson went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Reds.

    Henderson got off to a fast start, homering in the first inning and tacking on an RBI double in the second. He also drew two walks and, for the first time in 13 games this season, avoided striking out. The 23-year-old appears to be finding his rhythm and is now slashing .245/.286/.472 with two home runs, three RBI, nine runs scored and two steals across 56 plate appearances.

  • Thomas Saggese SS | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Rips two doubles against NYM

    Saggese went 2-for-4 with two doubles in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.

    Saggese was responsible for two of the Cardinals' three hits Saturday, both of which resulted in doubles in the second and fifth innings. It was Saggese's fourth multi-hit game of the year, two of which have come over his last three games. He's started the season slashing .433/.419/.633 with four runs scored, one home run and five RBI across 31 plate appearances, and he's making a case for regular playing time even once Masyn Winn (back) returns from the injured list.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Leads hit parade Saturday

    Turner went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-10 win over the Marlins.

    The Phillies didn't hit a home run on the afternoon among their 18 knocks, but six different players recorded multiple hits, which was led by Turner's four. The shortstop has had a sluggish start to the season at the plate, but he's more than capable of turning things around quickly. Through 19 games, he's now slashing .257/.337/.351 with one homer, five steals, six RBI and 12 runs.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Sitting Saturday

    Bogaerts is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday.

    Bogaerts will start Saturday's game in the dugout after going 3-for-21 with one run scored and five strikeouts over his last six outings. Jose Iglesias and Tyler Wade will start at shortstop and second base, respectively, against Astros right-hander Hayden Wesneski.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Not starting Saturday

    Kiner-Falefa is not in Pittsburgh's starting lineup against Cleveland on Saturday.

    Kiner-Falefa has recorded at least one hit in five of his last six games, going 6-for-20 with one stolen base, two runs scored and one RBI over that span. He'll be in the dugout for the beginning of Saturday's game while Jared Triolo starts at shortstop and bats seventh against Guardians right-hander Ben Lively.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Sitting Saturday

    Walls is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Walls owns a .459 OPS across 30 plate appearances over his last eight games and will now take a day to collect himself. Jose Caballero will fill the resulting void at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Pirates' Termarr Johnson: Dealing with knee injury

    Johnson suffered a knee injury during Double-A Altoona's 12-1 loss to Somerset on Friday, Jarrod Prugar of DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

    Johnson sustained the injury in the seventh inning after colliding with a teammate in the outfield. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, and Altoona manager Andy Fox told reporters after the game that Johnson would undergo further testing Saturday to determine the severity of the injury. Johnson has begun the year in Double-A slashing .227/.346/.318 with eight walks, five stolen bases, seven runs scored, one home run and five RBI in 52 plate appearances.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Back in lineup Saturday

    Sweeney is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the Royals.

    Sweeney received Friday off with Kansas City starting southpaw Cole Ragans but will return to the lineup against righty Seth Lugo. The young shortstop hasn't really gotten going yet, as he's batting just .228 with a .641 OPS, though he has gone 3-for-6 over his last two games.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Lands on IL with hip contusion

    The Rockies placed Tovar on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to April 16, due to a left hip contusion.

    Tovar was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Dodgers due to the left hip injury. The issue is severe enough to warrant a stint on the injured list, and how he responds to treatment over the coming days will help determine his timeline for a return. Aaron Schunk's contract was selected from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move, and he'll start at shortstop and bat ninth against the Nationals on Saturday. Kyle Farmer could also see some playing time at shortstop while Tovar is sidelined.
