  • Paul DeJong SS | NYY

    White Sox's Paul DeJong: Four homers in eight starts

    DeJong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Red Sox.

    DeJong provided some insurance with a home run in the seventh inning, his 11th of the season and fourth in his last eight starts. He has only seven total hits in that span, illustrating his dependence on the long ball to provide any fantasy value. Overall, DeJong is hitting .234/284/.463 across 204 plate appearances on the campaign.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Steals 34th bag in win

    De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

    De La Cruz reached on a single in the fifth and proceeded to swipe his MLB-leading 34th bag. After going six straight games without a steal, he now has a swipe in back-to-back games as he continues his torrid pace on the basepaths. The 22-year-old leads MLB with 87 strikeouts but he continues to make up for it with great counting stats.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Reaches 20 homers

    Henderson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in a 5-0 win against Tampa Bay on Saturday.

    Henderson iced the game for Baltimore in the ninth inning, swatting a three-run shot to right field to give the team a 5-0 lead. The long ball was his 20th of the campaign, second most in the majors behind Aaron Judge. Henderson has reached base safely via hit or walk in 17 straight games and is batting .258 with four home runs, 11 RBI, 14 runs, a stolen base and an 18:20 BB:K during that span.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Drives offense in big win

    Bichette went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Saturday's 7-0 win over the A's.

    The shortstop is heating up again, collecting four doubles among his seven hits over the last six games. Bichette's sluggish start to the season is fading in the rearview mirror -- over his last 24 contests, he's batting .302 (29-for-96) with two homers, eight doubles, eight runs and 14 RBI.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Set for MLB debut

    Amador will be recalled from Double-A Hartford on Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    With Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) on his way to the 10-day injured list, Amador will get his first crack at big-league action. The 21-year-old hasn't made it past Double-A yet and although he owns a .194 batting average this season at Hartford, Amador is 14-for-39 (.359) with six home runs and six stolen bases in his last nine games. He figures to share playing time with Alan Trejo at second base.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Hits leadoff homer

    Crawford went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Royals.

    The shortstop got the scoring started on the first pitch of the game with his 11th career leadoff homer. He later added another RBI on a single in the fifth, giving him his third multi-RBI game of the season. Crawford now has five home runs this season and three since coming off the IL on May 20. The 29-year-old is working on a five-game hitting streak, which is tied for his longest of the season.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Getting breather Saturday

    Rocchio isn't in the Guardians' lineup Saturday versus the Marlins.

    Rocchio will get a day off Saturday after hitting the first home run of his MLB career during Friday's loss. Daniel Schneemann will take over at shortstop while batting ninth.

  • Brett Wisely 2B | ATL

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Sitting versus southpaw

    Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against Texas.

    With lefty Andrew Heaney set to toe the slab for the Rangers, the lefty-hitting Wisely will step out of the lineup. Tyler Fitzgerald will take over at shortstop, batting ninth.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Joining taxi squad

    Amador joined the Rockies in St. Louis on Saturday, though the team has yet to formally call him up from Double-A Hartford, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Amador sports a .666 OPS through 208 plate appearances this season with Hartford, but he has slashed .326/.388/.767 with six homers and 14 RBI while also stealing six bases across his last 10 games. With the Rockies waiting to see if Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) will require a trip to the injured list, Amador will remain on the club's taxi squad for the time being. He would likely return to Double-A if Rodgers is able to make a quick recovery.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Sitting Saturday

    Caballero is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Caballero will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a double in the series opener Friday. Taylor Walls will start at shortstop Saturday and bat seventh against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish.
