  • Mike Tauchman CF | NYM

    White Sox's Mike Tauchman: Smacks first homer

    Tauchman went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Saturday against the Rangers.

    Tauchman made his second straight start since being activated from the injured list due to a hamstring injury. He's hit second on each occasion and managed his first home run of the season Saturday evening. Tauchman should be in a strong-side platoon in right field and will look to get on track after missing nearly the entirety of the first two months of the season with a recurring hamstring issue.

  • Donovan Solano 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Donovan Solano: Struggling for playing time

    Solano went 2-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Houston.

    Solano made his fifth start at first base among 12 appearances in the month of May, but he remains without an RBI since April 17. Over his last 15 outings (30 at-bats), the veteran infielder is batting an empty .267 with just two extra-base hits. The absence of Luke Raley (oblique) hasn't translated to a boost in playing time for Solano, who should continue to function on the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Rowdy Tellez at first base.

  • Pete Fairbanks RP | MIA

    Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Earns 10th save of 2025

    Fairbanks earned the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays. He issued two walks without allowing a hit or recording a strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Fairbanks was brought in to protect the Rays' two-run lead, and he was able to work around two walks to come away with his 10th save of the season (and second in as many days). He needed 21 pitches (11 strikes) to get through the frame, which could impact his availability for Sunday's series finale. Fairbanks has a 2.05 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB across 22 innings this season.

  • Bryan Abreu RP | HOU

    Astros' Bryan Abreu: Bounces back

    Abreu threw a scoreless eighth inning, allowing one walk and striking out two to earn a hold Saturday against the Mariners.

    Abreu had a rare ineffective outing Friday, allowing two earned runs while taking his second loss of the season. He immediately bounced back Saturday to tally his 13th hold of the campaign, and he has now delivered a scoreless effort in 22 of his 24 appearances.

  • Mitch Garver C | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: Rare start at catcher Saturday

    Garver went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Houston.

    It was just Garver's fourth start at catcher in 16 appearances during the month of May, as he's yet to carve out a steady role in the field this season. The veteran backstop has operated mostly as a pinch hitter in 2025, batting .264 (14-for-63) with one homer, one double, eight RBI and seven runs scored over his last 22 games. Cal Raleigh has played each of Seattle's first 51 games, so Garver doesn't have a clear pathway to playing time even with Luke Raley (oblique) on the injured list.

  • Shane Baz SP | BAL

    Rays' Shane Baz: Earns fourth win

    Baz (4-3) came away with the win against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out four across 5.2 innings.

    Baz was able to work out of a bases-loaded jam in the second inning and kept the Blue Jays off the board through the first five frames of Saturday's game. His lone blemish came in the sixth when he yielded a solo home run to Vladimir Guerrero, and Baz was taken out of the game before recording the final out of the frame for what would have been his fifth quality start of the season. Still, the 25-year-old right-hander got enough support from the bullpen to earn his first win since April 25 against the Padres. He'll take a 4.94 ERA and 1.39 WHIP (across 54.2 innings) into his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Astros.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Smacks three-run homer

    Caminero went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Caminero was responsible for all of the Rays' scoring Saturday, as he took Jose Berrios deep to left-center field for a three-run homer in the first inning, which are his first RBI since May 13. It was Caminero's ninth home run of the season, and the 21-year-old is slashing .239/.271/.699 with three steals and 23 RBI over 192 plate appearances.

  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Yields three runs in first frame

    Berrios (1-2) took the loss against the Rays on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out three across six innings.

    Berrios allowed only four baserunners in Saturday's start, but three of them came around to score in the first inning on a three-run home run from Junior Caminero. Berrios retired 16 of the next 17 batters he faced and earned the quality start, but he couldn't avoid the loss as the Blue Jays were limited to one run. He has six quality starts this season -- four of which have come over his last five outings -- but has only one win to his name. Berrios is lined up to face off against the Athletics at home next week.

  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Reaches base four times

    Santander went 2-for-2 with two walks in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Santander was not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup for two straight games due to a left hip issue, but he was back out in right field for Saturday's contest. He reached base safely in all four plate appearances but wasn't brought home to score as the Jays' offense was limited to just one run. Santander has struggled at the plate this season but has been more effective since the beginning of May, slashing .245/.344/.377 with two home runs and six RBI in 61 plate appearances.

  • Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Swipes bag in loss

    Rodriguez went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

    Rodriguez swiped second base in the third inning Saturday, an encouraging sign after he was scratched Thursday due to back tightness. He's just 1-for-8 since returning to the lineup, though his lone hit was a double that came off the bat at 108.2 mph. On the season, the 24-year-old outfielder is slashing .227/.305/.409 with nine homers, 29 RBI, 33 runs scored and six steals across 226 plate appearances.
