  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Reaches base four times in debut

    Meidroth went 1-for-1 with three walks and a run scored Friday against the Red Sox.

    The White Sox selected Meidroth's contract before Friday's game, and he slotted in seventh in the order while playing second base. He enjoyed a strong debut, which was indicative of his high-contact and patient approach at the plate. He offers limited power but could contribute double-digit steals with regular playing time.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Notches first steal

    Sweeney went 1-for-4 with a double, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Twins.

    Sweeney had gone 0-for-5 over the last four games, a stretch in which the Tigers faced three left-handed starters. The 24-year-old is firmly in a strong-side platoon role to begin the season. He's now batting .237 (9-for-38) with a home run, two doubles, one triple, seven RBI, five runs scored and a steal over 13 contests. Sweeney logged just two steals across 119 major-league plate appearances in 2024, but he logged at least 20 thefts in three straight years in the minors, so he could tap into a bit more speed if he gets on base enough.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Drives in two runs Friday

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with one walk, one run and two RBI in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Nationals.

    Edwards got the scoring started for the Marlins with a two-RBI single in the fifth frame, and he crossed home plate two batters later on Kyle Stowers double. Friday marked Edwards' fourth multi-hit game of the season, and he's started the year slashing .300/.390/.360 with three stolen bases, eight walks and five RBI across 59 plate appearances.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Expects to miss some games

    Winn left Friday's game against the Phillies due to back spasms and said afterward that he will likely sit out a couple of games, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Winn was insistent that he won't need to spend time on the injured list, but he will need a few days off to give his back time to recover from an issue that has been bothering him for a few weeks. Whether the Cardinals' front office cooperates with the 23-year-old's request to stay off the IL remains to be seen, but either way, it seems like Thomas Saggese will be picking up a few more starts at shortstop.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Records first steal

    Baldwin went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Baldwin had gone 0-for-11 over his previous four games before logging his first multi-hit effort of the season. The steal was also his first of the season, while the RBI he earned on an eighth-inning single was the first run he's knocked in since April 4. The utility player is batting .237 (9-for-38) with a home run, six RBI and two runs scored over 12 contests. He's carving out a decent share of playing time despite not focusing on a single position, but playing for the White Sox will likely prevent him from racking up significant counting stats.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Aggravates hip flexor

    Abrams aggravated his right hip flexor while stealing second base and fielding a grounder in the third inning of Friday's game against the Marlins, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

    Abrams is set to be re-evaluated by the Nationals' medical staff Saturday, at which point we'll know more about the severity of his injury and how much time he'll miss, if any. The 24-year-old sat out Monday and Tuesday due to problems with his hip, and Washington may err on the side of caution this early in the season if the results of his tests are less than favorable.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Battling back spasms

    Winn was removed from Friday's game against the Phillies due to lower-back spasms, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Winn didn't log a plate appearance Friday before getting pulled at the start of the second inning. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Removed early

    Abrams was pulled from Friday's game against Miami due to an apparent injury, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

    It's not immediately clear what kind of injury Abrams is dealing with, though it may have something to do with the hip/thigh injury that held him out of two games earlier in the week. If the All-Star shortstop ends up needing to miss more time, Amed Rosario and Jose Tena would be candidates for additional starts in the infield.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Starting Friday

    Tovar (hip) is starting at shortstop and batting third against the Padres on Friday.

    Tovar was held out of Thursday's game against the Brewers due to a nagging hip issue, but he's back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta. Tovar has started the season slashing .277/.306/.404 with two stolen bases, four doubles and four RBI across 49 plate appearances.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Headed to Chicago

    The White Sox selected Meidroth's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    To make room for Meidroth on the 40-man roster, the White Sox designated Justin Anderson for assignment. Meidroth was acquired from the Red Sox in the Garrett Crochet trade during the offseason, and he's now headed to the big leagues after slashing .267/.450/.600 with three home runs, four RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases across 40 plate appearances at Triple-A. Meidroth is expected to see the bulk of his playing time at shortstop.
