Adell went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 14-3 victory versus the Rays.

Adell made the most of his lone hit, clobbering a 431-foot, three-run homer to center field in the ninth inning. The veteran outfielder has been all-or-nothing at the plate of late -- over his past 10 games, he's batting just 7-for-40 with 11 strikeouts and no walks but has three homers and two doubles. Adell hit a career-high 37 long balls last season but is well off that pace in 2026 with nine homers through 59 contests.

The Pirates placed Griffin on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a flexor strain in his right elbow.

It's unclear exactly how long the 20-year-old has been dealing with the injury, but general manager Ben Cherington indicated that Griffin will likely be in line for a "short-term stay" on the IL, per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.

Outman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Outman made seven consecutive starts in the outfield from May 14 through May 20 while Byron Buxton dealt with a sore hip flexor, but his playing time has fallen by the wayside since. Buxton has been limited primarily to designated hitter over the last two weeks, but the Twins have been leaning on Kody Clemens and Ryan Kreidler in center field. Outman will remain on the bench Sunday for the eighth time in 10 games.

Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

He'll receive a breather after he started behind the plate each of the last three days while going 3-for-10 with a double, two walks and two RBI. Alex Jackson will replace Caratini as the Twins' starting catcher in the series finale.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and three total runs scored in a 14-3 rout of the Rays on Saturday.

The future Hall of Famer notched the Angels' first hit with a single in the first inning and eventually came around to score on a Wade Meckler grand slam. Trout added a homer of his own in the fifth, crushing a solo shot to left field. He's reached base safely in 11 straight games, posting a 1.101 OPS with three homers, eight RBI and a whopping 15 walks over that stretch. On the season, Trout leads MLB with 56 walks while adding 14 homers, 31 RBI, five stolen bases and a .241/.412/.498 slash line.

The Marlins placed Junk on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right shin bone inflammation, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Junk becomes the third Miami starting pitcher to hit the shelf in less than a month, joining Robby Snelling (elbow) and Eury Perez (hamstring). Junk is initially projected to miss 2-3 weeks due to the injury. As a result of the right-hander being scratched from his scheduled start Sunday against the Mets, the Marlins will have left-hander John King open the game in what will be a bullpen day.

Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk against Washington in a loss Saturday.

Bogaerts kicked off the scoring with a 417-foot solo shot to center field in the second inning. The long ball was his first since he went deep in back-to-back games May 5-6. The veteran infielder has struggled at the plate since those pair of contests, batting just .181 with only four RBI over 20 contests. However, he did swipe five bases during that span and is 9-for-9 on theft attempts this season.

The Twins placed Ober on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.

The right-hander had been on a roll, going 4-2 with a 3.19 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB over his last seven starts and 42.1 innings heading into Saturday. That impressive run came to a screeching halt when Ober was lit up for eight runs (seven earned) on 12 hits -- including three home runs -- and one walk over 4.2 innings in a loss to Pittsburgh. The elbow issue may have been a factor, and Ober will be shelved through at least mid-June. Minnesota called up right-hander Mike Paredes from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move, and if he isn't needed in relief over the next few days, he could be a candidate to replace Ober in the rotation.

Nunez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

The Nationals will go with Jorbit Vivas at second base while Nunez heads to the bench for the series finale. After going 1-for-5 at the plate in the first two games of the series, Nunez actually raised his season average to .189, which places him 155th out of 162 qualified hitters in the majors. The 25-year-old has kept his fantasy value afloat almost solely on the back of his MLB-leading 22 stolen bases.

Crews was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres for unspecified reasons.

The Nationals haven't officially announced an injury, but Crews is presumably banged up after being hit by a pitch in the hand/wrist area during Saturday's contest. He should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.
