  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Slugs third homer

    Bohm went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Mets.

    His sixth-inning shot off Taijuan Walker knotted the game at 4-4, but the Phillies couldn't find another run. Bohm is heating up at the plate, going 6-for-15 (.400) over the last four games to raise his slash line on the season to .229/.264/.354 with three homers, two steals, 11 runs and 15 RBI through 27 contests.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | CLE

    Rangers' Nate Lowe: Hits with RISP

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's 8-6 win over Boston.

    Lowe delivered a two-out, two-run single in the third inning, upping his RBI total to 24, second in MLB. He's been money with runners in scoring position, batting .462 (12-for-26) in those situations. He is also hitting .395 with two outs in an inning.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Feels good after game action

    Walker (oblique) played five innings in a game Friday at Arizona's alternate site, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Walker came out of the session feeling good, per manager Torey Lovullo, who added the injured first baseman was scheduled to play seven innings Saturday. The Diamondbacks are hoping to have Walker back during the team's upcoming road trip that begins Tuesday.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Indians' Josh Naylor: Two hits in loss

    Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and a strikeout as Cleveland fell 7-3 to Chicago on Saturday.

    Naylor doubled and scored in the fourth in what was Cleveland's best inning, and he later singled in the sixth. He is one of only three Cleveland regulars batting over .215 on the season.

  • Josh Bell DH | MIN

    Nationals' Josh Bell: Brings home four runs

    Bell went 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI during Saturday's 7-2 win over the Marlins.

    The 28-year-old was 1-for-22 over the previous six games, but he delivered twice with RISP to power the offense Saturday. Bell has a .140/.219/.298 slash line with two homers, two doubles, nine RBI and 12 runs through 16 games this season.

  • Alex Kirilloff LF | MIN

    Twins' Alex Kirilloff: Third homer in two games

    Kirilloff went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strikeouts as Minnesota fell 11-3 to Kansas City on Saturday.

    Kirilloff followed up Friday night's two-homer performance with a solo shot in the seventh to get Minnesota on the board. The Twins' top prospect played first base and may receive more time there with Miguel Sano on the IL.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ATL

    Royals' Carlos Santana: Six-game hitting streak

    Santana went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs, an RBI and a strikeout in Saturday's 11-3 win over Minnesota.

    Santana reached base and scored in each of his first two at-bats and singled in the ninth to round out a solid all-around game. He remains a much stronger option in OBP formats and points leagues due to his on-base abilities.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Royals' Ryan O'Hearn: Second homer in five games

    O'Hearn went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in an 11-3 rout of Minnesota on Saturday.

    Since being recalled from the alternate training site O'Hearn has started on a part-time basis, batting 3-for-18 with two home runs. He's always been a power bat and with regular appearances O'Hearn could sustain value in deeper leagues.

  • Keston Hiura 2B | LAD

    Brewers' Keston Hiura: Stuck on bench again

    Hiura will sit for the fourth straight game Saturday against the Dodgers.

    Hiura simply hasn't earned regular at-bats this season. His .167/.268/292 line wouldn't be close to good enough for a middle infielder, and it looks even worse now that he's primarily a first baseman. Daniel Vogelbach will make his fourth straight start at the position, though he's hitting just .184/.273/.327 himself.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Athletics' Matt Olson: Unlikely to return Sunday

    Manager Bob Melvin said Saturday that he would "doubt" Olson (eye) returns to the lineup Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Olson has already been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against Baltimore, but he was able to take some groundballs and take some swings in the cage prior to the game. If Olson is held out Sunday, Seth Brown or Mitch Moreland could fill in at first base once again.
