  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Continues to find footing in 2025

    Burger went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Burger totaled a season-high nine bases, adding his first stolen base of the year to boot. The first baseman seems to have found a groove at the plate since returning from the minor leagues, hitting .344 (11-for-32) with three home runs, two doubles, six RBI and three runs scored over his last nine games. It's worth noting Burger got off to a slow start before heating up with Miami in 2024 -- he had a .635 OPS before the All-Star break before posting a .901 OPS during the second half last year.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | CHC

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Clubs homer

    Santana went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 5-1 win over Minnesota. He also homered earlier in the day during the completion of the May 19 game that was suspended due to rain.

    Santana notched his fifth and sixth long balls of the campaign. He tagged reliever Cole Sands for a solo shot in the eighth inning of Wednesday's scheduled game to put the Guardians up 3-1. The first baseman is 13-for-51 (.255) with three home runs, 16 RBI and 10 runs scored in 16 games since the start of May.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | CHW

    Rays' Curtis Mead: Cranks first homer in win

    Mead went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Astros.

    Making a rare start against a right-hander, Mead responded with his first home run of the year, a solo shot off Hunter Brown that put the Rays ahead 3-2 in the fourth inning. While Mead's playing time has been limited, he's now recorded at least one hit in five straight games -- he's gone 6-for-15 (.400) in that span. Overall, the 24-year-old Mead is slashing .206/.286/.279 with four RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases through 77 plate appearances this season.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Reaches four times in win

    Torkelson went 2-for-2 with two walks, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Torkelson continued his strong recent play, as he's now slashing .283/.381/.491 with two home runs and 12 RBI over his last 15 games. The two free passes are encouraging as well, and the 25-year-old's walk rate is now slightly above 13 percent, up from 8.8 percent during the 2024 regular season. Torkelson being more patient at the plate bodes well for him maintaining his high level of production.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Experiences setback

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Gonzalez (quadricep) has suffered a setback and will not be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Thursday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Cora didn't elaborate on how significant Gonzalez's setback was, aside from noting that the 28-year-old's left quad is still bothering him when he runs. The Red Sox have been using a combination of Nick Sogard and Abraham Toro at first base since Gonzalez was injured and will continue with that arrangement for now. Kristian Campbell has been taking pregame reps at first base and could eventually become an option at the position.

  • Ty France 1B | TOR

    Twins' Ty France: Out of Minnesota lineup

    France is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Guardians.

    France participated in the conclusion of a suspended game earlier in the day, but he'll begin Wednesday's regularly scheduled tilt on the bench. Jonah Bride will handle first base and bat fifth for the Twins.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Exiting lineup Wednesday

    Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Goldschmidt will get a day off after starting in the last four contests and 10 of the past 11 tilts. Ben Rice will hold down first base and bat second for the Yankees.

  • Nick Kurtz 1B | ATH

    Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Pops homer Tuesday

    Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Angels.

    Kurtz's blast gave the Athletics a short-lived 4-1 lead in the fourth inning. This was his second homer of the season, though he went 0-for-20 with one walk and seven strikeouts over six games since his first long ball May 13 versus the Dodgers. That slump has him down to a .222/.270/.346 slash line over 24 games in the majors. With the A's in the AL West cellar, it's likely Kurtz will continue to get the opportunity to learn on the fly in the majors, though any prolonged slump could cost him at-bats versus left-handed pitchers more frequently.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Knocks in crucial runs Tuesday

    Aranda went 1-for-3 with a two-run single in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Astros.

    Aranda tied things up at 2-2 in the eighth inning on a single to right field that brought Kameron Misner and Jose Caballero home. Aranda is off to a sizzling start this season, and since the beginning of May he has slashed .327/.393/.455 with two home runs and 10 RBI over 61 plate appearances.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Mashes sixth homer in win

    Guerrero went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

    Guerrero clobbered his sixth homer of the season, and he's now logged at least one hit in 17 of his last 19 games. During this period, the All-Star first baseman is batting .314 (22-for-70) with four homers, two doubles, nine RBI and 17 runs scored. Guerrero has also drawn 14 walks during this span.
