  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Pops homer in win

    Bohm went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

    Bohm got the Phillies on the board with his seventh-inning solo shot, then scored on a Bryce Harper double in the eighth to put Philadelphia ahead for good. The long ball snapped a 27-game homer drought for Bohm, who had five doubles among 24 hits in that span. The infielder is up to four home runs, 26 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases with a .271/.342/.407 slash line through 38 contests.

  • Luke Voit 1B | NYM

    Brewers' Luke Voit: Posts steal in win

    Voit went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

    Voit has hit safely in four straight games, going 4-for-12 with six strikeouts in that span. The first baseman also set a new career high in steals with his second of the season in Friday's contest. He's hardly a speed threat, and his power has largely been absent in 2023 as well -- he's slugging just .273 with no home runs over 72 plate appearances.

  • Bobby Dalbec 1B | CHW

    Red Sox's Bobby Dalbec: Optioned to Triple-A

    Dalbec was optioned to Triple-A Worcester by Boston on Friday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    It's likely that the corresponding transaction will be Pablo Reyes joining Boston on Saturday after he was acquired by the Red Sox in a trade before Friday's game. Dalbec will head back to Triple-A for now, but he figures to make several more trips between Boston and Worcester before the 2023 season comes to a close.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Goes deep, swipes bag

    Naylor went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a second run scored, two walks and a steal in Friday's loss to the Angels.

    Naylor saved his only hit of the game for a big moment, briefly putting Cleveland on top with his solo shot in the eighth. He had gone 7-for-39 (.179) since his last home run April 26. He's now slashing .195/.258/.331 on the year with eight extra-base hits (four doubles, four homers) and three steals through 132 plate appearances this season.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Out of lineup Friday

    Pasquantino is not in the lineup Friday against the Brewers.

    Pasquantino went 7-for-18 (.389) with a homer and two doubles during the Royals' last series versus the White Sox, so this is presumably just a day of rest. Salvador Perez is taking a turn in the designated hitter role while Nick Pratto will cover first base against the Brewers and right-hander Corbin Burnes.

  • Alex Kirilloff LF | MIN

    Twins' Alex Kirilloff: Sitting against lefty

    Kirilloff is out of the lineup Friday against the Cubs, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Donovan Solano is playing first base and batting second versus the Cubs and left-hander Drew Smyly. Kirilloff, a left-handed hitter, has yet to start against a southpaw since his return to the Twins' major-league roster earlier this month.

  • Gabriel Arias 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Gets start in right field

    Arias is starting in right field and batting sixth for the Guardians on Friday against the Angels.

    The 23-year-old has been seeing regular work in right as Will Brennan's platoon partner versus lefties since Oscar Gonzalez was sent down. Arias is slashing just .204/.278/.306 this season, which unfortunately means he fits right in with the rest of the scuffling Cleveland offense.

  • Nate Lowe DH | CIN

    Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Extends hit streak

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a triple in Thursday's 4-0 win over Oakland.

    Lowe's triple, his first of the season, extended his hitting streak to 10 games and on-base streak to 15. The first baseman has an .870 OPS during the latter, going 16-for-57 (.281) with seven extra-base hits and eight walks while knocking in nine and scoring 11 runs. The durable Lowe has played all 37 games in 2023 after appearing in 157 games each of the last two seasons.

  • Yandy Diaz DH | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Nine-game hitting streak

    Diaz went 1-for-5 with a double and an RBI on Thursday against the Yankees.

    Diaz pulled a ball down the third base line in the fifth inning to tally an RBI double. The knock also extended his hitting streak to nine games, during which he's hit .305 with two home runs, four RBI and seven runs scored. Diaz has had a great start to the season, highlighted by a .262 ISO and .432 wOBA across 152 plate appearances.

  • Spencer Steer 1B | CIN

    Reds' Spencer Steer: Hits fifth homer

    Steer went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-0 victory versus the Mets.

    Steer capped the scoring in the win with a 427-foot solo shot in the fifth inning. The long ball was the rookie's third through nine games in May after he went deep just twice across his first 25 contest of the campaign. He's slashing .244/.322/.433 with five homers, 13 RBI, 17 runs and one stolen base over 143 plate appearances overall.
