  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Still struggling

    Vaughn went 1-for-3 with a run scored Thursday against the Brewers.

    Vaughn recorded a single in the sixth inning to extend his hitting streak to a modest four games. However, the good news ends there, as he is still hitting only .167 with a career-worst 23.1 percent strikeout rate. Vaughn also has only one extra-base hit in his last nine games, causing his ISO to dip to .105 across 121 plate appearances on the campaign.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Crushes go-ahead three-run homer

    Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.

    Guerrero played the role of hero Thursday, crushing a go-ahead three-run jack in the eighth inning to power Toronto to victory. The All-Star first baseman has now logged a hit in six of his last seven games, and he entered Thursday with an elite 54.4 percent hard-hit rate in 2025. While Guerrero is batting a middling .255 (12-for-47) over his last 13 games, he's supplied power with four home runs, two doubles and nine RBI during that stretch.

  • Blaine Crim 1B | COL

    Rangers' Blaine Crim: Set to join big-league roster

    Crim will have his contract selected by the Rangers on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    Crim spent all of the 2023 and 2024 seasons at Triple-A Round Rock and posted .391 and .382 wOBAs, respectively. He doesn't have much prospect pedigree and isn't likely to be long for the majors as a replacement for Jake Burger, though Crim should see occasional playing time in the short term.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Demoted to minors

    Burger will be optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    Burger has gotten off to a dreadful start in his first season with the Rangers, hitting just .190 with a 29.6 percent strikeout rate across 108 plate appearances. Nevertheless, his demotion comes as a significant surprise. Rosenthal reports that Burger's time in the minors should be short and is viewed as a way for him to reset.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | CHC

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Sitting out series finale

    Santana is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    The Guardians will give Santana a breather for the day game after he started in each of the last four contests while going 4-for-11 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored. Kyle Manzardo will fill in for Santana at first base.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Belts fourth homer in win

    Pasquantino went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

    Pasquantino has mostly struggled to begin the season, but he's now belted a homer in two of his past four outings. Over 99 at-bats in April, the first baseman hit just .172 with three long balls, two doubles, 14 RBI and eight runs scored. Despite the slow start, Pasquantino continues to regularly occupy a premium spot in Kansas City's batting order, which should offer him plenty of RBI chances.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Launches two-run shot

    Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees.

    Mountcastle, who went 0-for-18 over his six prior games, squared things up at 2-2 in the second inning, when he took Carlos Carrasco deep to left field for a two-run homer. It was Mountcastle's second home run of the season. He's started the year with a career-low .546 OPS, but perhaps his effort Wednesday is a sign of things to come for the 28-year-old first baseman.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Blasts solo homer Wednesday

    Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Baltimore.

    Goldschmidt didn't have the most efficient performance from the plate, but he made up for it in the fifth inning with a solo shot to center field off Cade Povich. Goldschmidt has seven 30-homer seasons in his career but has just two long balls on the season. However, his 42 hits and .356 batting average rank second in the majors behind teammate Aaron Judge (50 hits and .427 average).

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Idle against lefty

    Aranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    The lefty-hitting Aranda will get the night off while the Royals send southpaw Noah Cameron to the hill Wednesday. Curtis Mead will check in for Aranda at first base.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Getting day off versus lefty

    Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    With southpaw Tyler Anderson on the hill for the Angels, the left-handed-hitting Tellez will take a seat along with switch hitter Jorge Polanco, who hasn't been batting from the right side of late while managing a side injury. Cal Raleigh will get a day off from catching and will fill in for Polanco as Seattle's designated hitter, while Donovan Solano covers Tellez's usual post at first base.
