    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Lands on injured list

    The Cardinals placed Winn on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to lower-back spasms, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Winn believed he wouldn't need to spend time on the IL after exiting Friday's game early because of his back, but evidently, the Cardinals' front office disagreed. If his injury truly is minor, he should have a good chance to be activated when eligible April 22. Until then, Thomas Saggese will start regularly at shortstop. Winn's move to the injured list opens a roster spot for Nolan Gorman (hamstring), who was activated from the IL in a corresponding move.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Swipes fourth bag

    Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Friday's 8-0 win against Colorado.

    Bogaerts scored the game's first run in the fifth inning when he began the frame with a single, stole second base and came around to score on a Jose Iglesias base knock. After batting just .264 (his lowest mark since 2014) during the regular season last year, Bogaerts has gotten off to a strong start in 2025, slashing .306/.397/.388 through 58 plate appearances. He doesn't have a home run yet, but Bogaerts has contributed four doubles and four steals while walking at a 12.5 percent clip.

  • White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Tallies first extra-base hit

    Amaya went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI against the Red Sox on Friday.

    Amaya has started six straight games at shortstop and 11 of 13 games overall. He's struggled mightily, collecting only four hits across 33 at-bats, though he managed his first extra-base hit of the season Friday to account for his two RBI. The addition of Chase Meidroth could threaten Amaya's playing time, though the White Sox have a number of moving pieces, so the situation will be worth monitoring.

  • 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.
