  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Fills stat sheet in win

    Henderson went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Nationals.

    Henderson was a monster all afternoon, tallying his first four-hit effort of the campaign while also homering and stealing a base in the same game for the second time this season. It was a much-needed performance for the 24-year-old, who entered the contest just 10-for-60 with no home runs across 14 games in May. Perhaps this will help get him going, as he's slashing an underwhelming .214/.269/.423 with 10 long balls, 24 RBI, 24 runs scored and six stolen bases across 212 plate appearances so far in 2026.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Goes deep in win

    Caminero went 1-for-2 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Marlins.

    Caminero launched a solo shot off Eury Perez in the first inning before adding an RBI via a bases-loaded walk in the sixth. The 22-year-old slugger has now hit safely in seven of his past nine games, tallying three homers, seven RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .256/.342/.488 with 12 home runs, 32 RBI and 28 runs scored across 196 plate appearances.

  • Joseph Dzierwa SP | BAL

    Orioles' Joseph Dzierwa: Promoted to Double-A

    Dzierwa was promoted to Double-A Chesapeake on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Dzierwa will move up a level in the Orioles' minor-league farm system after posting an impressive 2.21 ERA and 0.82 WHIP with 50 strikeouts over 40.2 innings in eight starts with High-A Frederick. The 6-foot-8 southpaw was selected 58th overall in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, and he still has plenty of time to potentially elevate to the Triple-A level this season.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Tough May continues

    Torkelson went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jays and is batting just .135 this month.

    Torkelson wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire with his .228 batting average through the end of April, though he at least had a respectable .786 OPS. This month, however, has seen Torkelson's offensive production really fall off. His OPS is down to .496 in May, and the first baseman has already struck out 26 times in 15 contests during the month. Torkelson still offers plenty of power potential, but his prolonged slumps make him hard to trust from a fantasy perspective.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: X-rays negative on finger

    Narvaez underwent X-rays on his finger, which came back negative, after Sunday's 8-1 loss to Atlanta, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Narvaez exited the game in the third inning after dealing with finger pain on his right hand, and he is now considered day-to-day. The 27-year-old was replaced in the contest by Connor Wong, who is likely the next man up behind the plate if Narvaez is forced to miss any action moving forward.

  • Bryan Baker RP | TB

    Rays' Bryan Baker: Secures 12th save

    Baker earned the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Marlins, allowing one hit without recording a walk or strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Baker was called on to close out a three-run lead and worked around a leadoff single to do so on 10 pitches. It was an encouraging outing after the 31-year-old entered the contest having allowed runs in back-to-back appearances, including a blown save Wednesday. For the year, he's 12-for-15 in save chances with a 2.79 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB across 19.1 innings.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Headed back to Arlington

    Seager (back) is heading back to Arlington to see the Rangers' back specialist, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Seager won't be available for at least the team's first game in Colorado as the Rangers begin a three-game set against the Rockies on Monday. The 32-year-old underwent an MRI on Sunday, and the results are still pending. In his absence, Ezequiel Duran has made back-to-back starts at shortstop, and he'll likely hold down that spot if Seager is forced to miss additional action moving forward.

  • Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Earns fourth win Sunday

    Rasmussen (4-1) earned the win against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

    Rasmussen allowed two runs in the third inning but otherwise kept the Marlins in check despite generating just five whiffs on 93 pitches. The 30-year-old has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in eight of nine starts this season, with the lone exception being a four-run outing April 18. He'll carry a 3.19 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 45:9 K:BB across 48 frames into a road matchup against the Yankees next weekend.

  • Colt Emerson SS | SEA

    Mariners' Colt Emerson: Batting ninth in major-league debut

    The Mariners called Emerson up from Triple-A Tacoma and will have him stsart at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale versus the Padres, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Emerson was summoned for his MLB debut after the Mariners placed Brendan Donovan (groin) on the 10-day injured list Sunday. The 20-year-old Emerson posted a .255 average with seven home runs, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored and 10 stolen bases over 145 at-bats in 38 contests with Tacoma prior to his promotion. In Donovan's absence, Emerson is expected to operate as Seattle's primary third baseman.

  • Mariners' Brendan Donovan: Hits IL with groin strain

    The Mariners placed Donovan on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left groin muscle strain, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Donovan had already been left out of the starting nine for a second straight game Sunday against the Padres, but he'll now wind up being shelved until at least May 26 while he tends to an aggravation of the injury that previously sent him to the IL back on April 20. In a corresponding move, the Mariners called up top prospect Colt Emerson from Triple-A Tacoma. Emerson will start at third base Sunday in his MLB debut and should serve as the top option at the position while Donovan is on the shelf.
