  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Struggles continue Friday

    Adames went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Angels.

    Adames failed to record a hit for the second consecutive game. He has gone 2-for-17 over his last four games after logging his third multi-hit effort of the season against the Phillies on Monday. The 29-year-old shortstop has been cold to begin the 2025 campaign, posting the Giants' second-lowest batting average among qualified players. Adames is now slashing .185/.256/.272 with eight RBI, five extra-base hits and an 8:24 BB:K across a team-high 90 plate appearances.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: RBI double in season debut

    Neto went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

    Activated off the injured list earlier in the day, Neto wasted no time in making an impact, driving home Nolan Schanuel with a two-bagger in the second inning and then racing home on a Matt Chapman fielding error. Neto hit seventh in his 2025 debut, but he's likely to move into a more prominent spot in the order once he's fully up to speed -- although Friday's performance suggests he's already there. After a breakout 2024 in which the 24-year-old shortstop slugged 23 homers and stole 30 bags in 155 games, big things are expected from Neto now that he's recovered from offseason shoulder surgery.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Posts 20th career multi-homer game

    Story went 3-for-4 with a pair of three-run home runs and an additional run scored in Friday's win over the White Sox.

    It was the 20th career multi-homer game by Story, who first went yard in the first inning to get Boston on the board. He later got the rout fully underway with his second three-run jack, giving the Red Sox a 9-2 lead in the seventh inning. Although the oft-injured shortstop went just 2-for-15 in March, Story is batting .364 with five long balls, 14 RBI, eight runs scored and four stolen bases across 66 at-bats in the month of April and should be rostered in virtually all fantasy leagues at this point.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Walks it off to continue hot April

    Lindor went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

    Lindor capped off a seesaw battle with a walk-off solo shot, the first walk-off homer of his Mets career. After getting off to a 0-for-11 start in March, the All-Star shortstop has hit safely in 14 of his first 15 games in the month of April. During this hot stretch, Lindor is slashing .308/.365/.462 with two homers, seven RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Cracks three-run shot vs. Baltimore

    De La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Friday's 8-3 win over the Orioles.

    De La Cruz struck out in three of his five at-bats Friday, but he put the Reds on the board in the third inning when he took the first pitch he saw from Cade Povich deep to center field for a 400-foot, three-run long shot. It was De La Cruz's fourth homer of the season, and his 21 RBI are tied with Pete Alonso and Kyle Tucker for second most in the National League behind Wilmer Flores (23).

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Returns from IL

    The Angels reinstated Neto (shoulder) from the injured list Friday.

    Neto has spent the first few weeks of the season on the injured list while finishing up his recovery from a shoulder procedure he underwent in November. The 24-year-old has been playing rehab games at Triple-A Salt Lake since the start of April, however, and has slashed .286/.397/.592 with four homers, eight RBI and 16 runs scored while logging a base hit in 11 of his 13 contests. Now fully healthy, he figures to slide back in as the Angels' everyday shortstop. Nicky Lopez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Back in lineup

    Correa (wrist) is starting at shortstop and batting fifth against Atlanta on Friday.

    Correa tweaked his left wrist against the Mets on Tuesday. He underwent an MRI and missed Wednesday's contest, but the injury doesn't appear to be of much concern, as he's back in the lineup for Friday's series opener. Correa is slashing .164/.227/.246 with five walks, five runs scored and four RBI through 66 plate appearances to begin the season.

  • Rays' Chandler Simpson: Not in Friday's lineup

    The Rays selected Simpson's contract from Triple-A Durham on Friday.

    While Simpson is now officially on the Rays' active roster, he is still traveling and will not arrive in time for the start of Friday's game against the Yankees, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Thus, he is not in the lineup but could conceivably appear off the bench. Manager Kevin Cash indicated earlier Friday that Simpson will play regularly while with the big club.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Absent from Friday's lineup

    Rocchio is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Pittsburgh.

    Rocchio isn't dealing with any known injury, but he's now been out of the lineup for two of the last three games. Gabriel Arias will get the call at shortstop for the Guardians while Angel Martinez handles second base.

  • Rays' Chandler Simpson: Getting call to big leagues

    The Rays will call up Simpson from Triple-A Durham, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    The most prolific base stealer in the minors, Simpson swiped 104 bags between High-A Bowling Green and Double-A Montgomery last season and has already stolen eight bases this year with Durham. Simpson has no power and it's fair to question how much he'll ultimately hit, but his difference-making ability on the basepaths makes him a must-add in rotisserie leagues. Manager Kevin Cash said Friday that Simpson is "going to get an opportunity here and a little bit of a runway."
