  • Nick Raquet RP | BAL

    Orioles' Nick Raquet: Back in majors

    The Orioles recalled Raquet from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

    Raquet surrendered three earned runs over 1.2 innings during his first stint with the O's this year but has since fired 5.2 shutout innings at Norfolk. He'll now get a chance to redeem himself in the big leagues while replacing Albert Suarez, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Dietrich Enns RP | BAL

    Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Back from IL

    The Orioles reinstated Enns (foot) from the injured list Saturday.

    Enns made five rehab appearances in Triple-A after landing on the injured list with a foot infection, allowing four earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out 10 batters over 6.1 innings. He'll presumably claim a middle-relief role in Baltimore's bullpen now that he's healthy, and the Orioles will send Tyler Wells to the minors to make room for Enns on the active roster.

  • Brooks Lee 3B | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Scores two runs Friday

    Lee went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Lee has multiple hits in four of his last eight games and is now slashing .252/.313/.417 with five home runs, 17 RBI, 14 runs scored, two stolen bases and an 8:21 BB:K across 112 trips to the plate this season. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 draft is still batting near the bottom of the lineup.

  • Austin Martin RF | MIN

    Twins' Austin Martin: Three more singles Friday

    Martin went 3-for-5 with three singles in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Martin is slashing .333/.484/.435 across 91 trips to the plate this season, but 18 of his 23 hits have been singles, as he's produced one home run, seven RBI, 11 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 19:13 BB:K. Martin has been a good source of batting average and on-base percentage, but he's not doing much else. He's also been caught stealing an MLB-high four times. Martin should continue to see regular playing time with his hot bat and good eye at the dish.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Rangers' Danny Jansen: Pops homer in win

    Jansen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Tigers.

    The home run was the second of the season for Jansen, who has logged one RBI in his last two starts. Outside of hot five-game stretch to open the season and these last two games, the catcher hasn't offered much offense, going 7-for-43 (.163) with zero RBI and two runs scored over the other 15 contests.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Idle Saturday

    Wells isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore.

    Wells will grab a seat on the bench Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a run scored during a win in Friday's series opener. J.C. Escarra will fill in at catcher and bat seventh.

  • Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Back in lineup

    Dominguez (elbow) will serve as the Yankees' designated hitter and bat sixth Saturday against the Orioles.

    Dominguez missed the Yankees' series opener Friday after getting hit by a pitch on his left elbow Wednesday. He's now been cleared to return to the starting nine following a few days of rest and will aim to turn things around after going 1-for-9 at the plate through his first three major-league contests this season.

  • Byron Buxton CF | MIN

    Twins' Byron Buxton: Homers again Friday

    Buxton went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Twins.

    Buxton is swinging one of the hottest bats in the majors, as he's on a six-game hitting streak with multiple hits in three of those contests and a homer in four of his last five. Over his last 17 games, Buxton is 24-for-77 (.312) with nine homers, 12 RBI, 16 runs scored, one stolen base and four walks. Buxton is now slashing .260/.317/.528 with nine long balls, 13 RBI, 24 runs scored, one stolen base and a 9:36 BB:K across 139 plate appearances this season. Buxton is in the 94th percentile with his 18.5 percent barrel rate.

  • Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Tagged for six runs in another loss

    Woods Richardson (0-5) took the loss Friday against the Blue Jays, allowing six runs (four earned) on nine hits and one walk with two strikeouts across 4.2 innings.

    Woods Richardson has now been hammered for 25 runs (22 earned) across 23 innings over his last five starts. Armed with mediocre stuff and a second percentile strikeout rate, Woods Richardson doesn't have the arsenal to consistently miss big-league bats. It's fair to wonder how long Minnesota will keep trotting out the right-hander for starts. He leads the majors with five losses and owns a 6.49 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 17:14 K:BB across 34.2 innings.

  • Bo Naylor C | MIL

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Contributes to win

    Naylor went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Athletics.

    Naylor, who entered Friday's game on a 1-for-23 slide over the previous eight contests, snapped an 0-for-12 stretch with a second-inning single, and he also doubled home a run in the seventh. It was just the second multi-hit effort of the season for the catcher. Naylor is slashing .137/.192/.397 with three extra-base hits, four RBI and three runs scored over 78 plate appearances.
