Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC
Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Productive in win
Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the White Sox.
Suzuki snapped an 0-for-15 slump over his last four games with his first multi-hit performance since May 4. The outfielder has still been productive overall with a .272/.382/.491 slash line across 31 games. Suzuki has also put an early-season knee issue behind him, and he should continue to post strong stats as long as he remains healthy.

Huascar Brazoban RP | NYM
Mets' Huascar Brazoban: Opening again Saturday
Brazoban will serve as the Mets' opener in Saturday's game against the Yankees, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
The Mets seem to like using Brazoban as an opener ahead of David Peterson, as the two are now set to work in tandem for the third time this month. Brazoban's last opening assignment didn't go very well, as he allowed two earned runs and walked three batters over one inning and was hit with his first loss of the season. He'll aim to bounce back Saturday in what will likely be a one-inning start.

Heliot Ramos LF | SF
Giants' Heliot Ramos: Exits with quad tightness
Ramos was removed from Friday's game against the Athletics due to right quad tightness, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Ramos appeared to be in discomfort after taking a swing in the sixth inning. He finished out the at-bat but was replaced in the outfield once the two teams switched sides. The Giants will likely send Ramos in for imaging to determine the severity of his injury, and if the 26-year-old has to miss any amount of time, Drew Gilbert would be next in line to start in left.

J.J. Bleday LF | CIN
Reds' JJ Bleday: Another multi-hit game
Bleday went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored during the Reds' 7-6 win over the Guardians on Friday.
Bleday's RBI fielder's choice in the ninth inning ended up being the game-winner in Friday's series opener. He has been hot at the plate recently, having logged multi-hit games in three of his last five games while going 10-for-18 with two home runs, three doubles, 12 RBI and six runs scored over that span. Bleday has a 1.241 OPS with six home runs and 19 RBI across 71 plate appearances this season.

Bryce Harper DH | PHI
Phillies' Bryce Harper: Racks up season-high four hits
Harper went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 11-9 extra-inning win over the Pirates.
Harper delivered his first four-hit attack of the season Friday, also turning in his third game with at least three knocks in the month of May. The All-Star first baseman is off to an excellent start at the dish in 2026, slashing .282/.372/.534 with 20 extra-base hits, 26 RBI and 24 walks to go with 26 runs scored and two stolen bases across 188 plate appearances.

Clay Holmes RP | NYM
Mets' Clay Holmes: Suffers fracture in leg
Holmes was diagnosed with a fractured fibula following his removal from Friday's game against the Yankees, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
Holmes suffered the injury after getting hit on the right leg by a 111-mph line drive off the bat of Spencer Jones in the fourth inning. Holmes remained in the game for a short while afterward before exiting midway through the fifth, finishing with four earned runs allowed on seven hits and two walks while logging eight strikeouts in 4.1 frames. The Mets haven't yet offered a timetable for the 33-year-old's return, but manager Carlos Mendoza said after the game that Holmes will be out for "a long time," so a move to the 60-day IL is possible.

Chase Shugart RP | PHI
Phillies' Chase Shugart: Strong campaign continues
Shugart allowed one hit and no walks in two scoreless innings of relief Friday against the Pirates. He struck out one.
Since being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in the middle of April, Shugart has given the Phillies quality work out of the bullpen while operating mostly in middle relief. Through 15.2 innings for Philadelphia, the right-hander boasts a 1.72 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB.

Michael Harris CF | ATL
Braves' Michael Harris: Extends hit streak to seven games
Harris went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win against Boston.
Harris extended Atlanta's lead to 2-0 in the fourth after smacking a solo homer off Connelly Early. It was Harris' first home run since May 1 against the Rockies and seventh of the season. The long ball also extended his hit streak to seven games, and over that span he has gone 10-for-28 (.357) with two RBI and four runs scored.

Drake Baldwin C | ATL
Braves' Drake Baldwin: Goes deep vs. Boston
Baldwin went 2-for-4 with a solo homer during Atlanta's 3-2 extra-inning win against the Red Sox on Friday.
Baldwin put Atlanta on the board early with a solo homer off southpaw Connelly Early in the first inning. Baldwin has smacked a solo homer in three of his last five games and is up to 12 home runs on the season, which is tied for fourth-most in the National League and ranks second on Atlanta behind Matt Olson (14). Baldwin is slashing .298/.377/.530 with one steal, 34 RBI and 38 runs scored across 204 innings.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Swipes sixth bag Friday
Turner went 1-for-6 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 11-9 extra-inning win over the Pirates.
Turner battled an illness earlier this week, but he's back in action for the Phillies. The 32-year-old shortstop has been a big disappointment at the plate so far, batting just .231 with four home runs, seven doubles, 13 RBI and 13 walks over 182 at-bats, but he does have 27 runs scored and six stolen bases. As long as he remains in the leadoff spot for Philadelphia, Turner should continue to have plenty of run-scoring upside going forward.
