    Twins' Tristan Gray: Grand slam powers win

    Gray went 1-for-2 with a walk, a grand slam and five RBI in Friday's 10-4 victory over the Rays.

    Gray set a career high with three RBI in his first appearance with the Twins this season, and he reset the mark once again Friday with five RBI. Four of them came on a frozen rope grand slam to break open the game and cap a seven-run seventh inning for the Twins. With his eight RBI, the 30-year-old not only leads the Twins, but he is tied for 4th in MLB.

  • Gavin Stone SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Gavin Stone: Begins throwing program

    Stone (shoulder) has resumed throwing, per MLB.com.

    Stone was diagnosed with inflammation in his surgically repaired right shoulder during spring training and was shut down from throwing for several weeks. Tests confirmed that there's no structural damage in the shoulder, and the right-hander has since been cleared to begin a throwing program. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday -- the same day Stone was moved to the 60-day IL -- that the hurler is essentially going to need to ramp up as if he's restarting spring.

  • Bailey Ober SP | MIN

    Twins' Bailey Ober: Battles through four in no-decision

    Ober didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Rays, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four in four innings of work.

    It's the second straight start to begin 2026 that Ober has failed to work into the fifth inning. On Friday, the 30-year-old was tagged twice in the opening inning and once again in the fourth. It took him 82 pitches to work through his four innings as concerns about his velocity and inability to put hitters away continue. He has just five strikeouts in his eight innings of work on the year. The right-hander's next chance to add to that total is scheduled to be Wednesday against the Tigers.

  • Joe Boyle SP | TB

    Rays' Joe Boyle: Takes no-decision

    Boyle didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Twins, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out nine in 5.1 innings of work.

    Boyle was sharp Friday outside of the fourth inning in which a potential inning-ending double play turned into a three-run outburst for the Twins. Aside from that, it was a good start for Boyle, who tied a career high with nine strikeouts. It gives the 26-year-old 13 on the season in 11.1 innings of work. His next scheduled started will come Wednesday against the Cubs.

  • Rockies' Michael Lorenzen: Lit up for nine runs

    Lorenzen (0-1) suffered the loss Friday against the Phillies, allowing nine runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out two in three innings of work.

    Things went wrong immediately for Lorenzen as the first five batters he faced reached base including two via walk. It escalated from there, and before the inning was over, the Phillies had scored seven times. The 34-year-old made it through two more innings after that, but it's certainly not a start that will go on his highlight reel. He has now allowed 12 runs and three home runs over 7.1 innings of work on the year. His next scheduled chance to bring down his 14.73 ERA will come Wednesday against the Astros.

  • Jorge Polanco 1B | NYM

    Mets' Jorge Polanco: Suffers setback

    Manager Carlos Mendoza said Friday that Polanco suffered a setback in his recovery from left Achilles tendinitis Thursday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Polanco has been working primarily as a DH to begin the season while playing through an Achilles injury, but he reported discomfort Thursday and was absent from the starting nine Friday. The Mets may place him on the injured list to give him as much time as he needs to properly recover, though no decision has been made just yet. If the 32-year-old were to land on the IL, Mark Vientos, Brett Baty and Jared Young would stand to benefit from additional reps.

  • Brandon Marsh CF | PHI

    Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Homers in victory

    Marsh went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 10-1 victory over the Rockies.

    Marsh had the biggest swing of the first inning for the Phillies, launching a three-run home run to turn a good inning into a great one. It was the first long ball of the season for the 28-year-old, who had 11 home runs in 133 games last year. So far this season, Marsh is slashing .320/.370/.520 with five RBI.

  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Homers in back-to-back games

    Harper went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a home run in Friday's 10-1 win against the Rockies.

    It took Harper six games to get his first home run of the season, and the Phillies slugger picked up his second home run of the season just one game later. Coupled with his double in the third inning, it marked the first multi-hit game of the season for the 33-year-old. Overall, Harper has struggled early, slashing just .179/.258/.429 with two homers and four RBI.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Scratched with back tightness

    Schmitt was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets due to back tightness, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    The Giants will give Schmitt a day off to give his back a chance to heal, but it doesn't seem like he's trending toward a stint on the injured list at the moment. Jerar Encarnacion will enter the starting nine as San Francisco's first baseman and bat ninth.

  • Kyle Schwarber LF | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Launches towering homer

    Schwarber went 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and a solo home run during Friday's 10-1 win over the Rockies.

    Schwarber has had a relatively quiet start to the 2026 campaign, but he had a loud swing Friday. He launched a towering 460-foot home run in the fifth inning as part of a day in which he reached base three times. Despite only batting .200 on the season and having no multi-hit games so far, he sports a .975 OPS, thanks to the fact that three of his five hits on the season are home runs.
