MLB Player News

Cooper is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Cooper started all 11 games since being activated off the injured list May 11, and is slashing .233/.313/.372 with two home runs in that stretch. Curtis Granderson, Harold Ramirez and Austin Dean represent the starting outfield from right to left for the Marlins on Sunday.

Alonso is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Alonso started the last nine games at first base for the Mets, but will head to the bench after slashing .194/.257/.710 with five home runs in that stretch. Dominic Smith will start at first base and bat second in his absence.

Calhoun went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in a 3-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday.

His third-inning solo shot looked like it would be the only offense in the game until both teams scored twice in a wild ninth inning. Calhoun has done well in May, hitting .303 with three homers, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored in 19 games to partially offset a difficult start to the season. The right fielder has 10 homers and a .236 average over 48 games this year.

Hoskins went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs and a walk in a 7-2 victory over the Brewers on Saturday.

The 26-year-old waited 15 games between homers No. 11 and 12, which he hit Friday night, but he didn't have to wait long at all for his 13th blast of the season. Hoskins is 5-for-8 with two home runs and three RBI in the weekend series against the Brewers. Hoskins also has at least one RBI in four straight games. He is hitting .270 with 24 extra-base hits, 41 RBI, 31 runs and one steal in 185 at-bats this season.

Naylor went 3-for-6 with a double and two RBI in a 19-4 rout of the Blue Jays on Saturday.

After going hitless in his MLB debut, Naylor checked in with his first three major-league hits in the second spot in the order. The 21-year-old had been mashing in Triple-A to earn the callup, so perhaps he can continue to translate his impressive power and excellent plate discipline to the big club and earn regular at-bats from manager Andy Green.

Cron went 2-for-3 with a two-run double in an 8-1 victory over the White Sox on Saturday.

Cron had another big day as the Twins won their fifth straight game, driving in four runs in his first two at-bats against Manny Banuelos. Since May 8, the 29-year-old is hitting .388 with seven homers, raising his batting average 72 points in the process. He's slashing .278/.344/.556 over 169 at-bats this season.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Twins.

His sixth-inning shot was the only offense the White Sox could generate against Kyle Gibson. Abreu is slashing .267/.320/.530 with 13 homers and 42 RBI this season.

Voit went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in the first game of a doubleheader against the Royals on Saturday.

Voit took Scott Barlow deep in the seventh inning to break a 3-3 tie in a blast measured at 470 feet. The 28-year-old is 16-for-39 over his last nine games to raise his slash line to .266/.376/.516 across 184 at-bats this season.

Raley needs surgery on a dislocated tendon in his left ankle, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Raley has been on the 7-day injured list with what had been termed an ankle strain, but the issue is apparently worse than that. Recovery from the procedure is expected to keep him out for a few months.

Walker is not starting Saturday in San Francisco.

Kevin Cron, recalled Friday for his big-league debut, will get his first career start in Walker's absence. It's not yet clear how the playing time will break down between the pair. Both are almost exclusively first basemen, though Walker does have one career start in left field and could potentially see some time there while David Peralta is out with a shoulder injury.
