  • Jose Barrero SS | BAL

    Cardinals' Jose Barrero: Goes deep in victory

    Barrero went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 win against the Pirates.

    Barrero plated half of the Cardinals' runs in the contest, knocking a solo shot in the third inning and adding a two-run double in the sixth. The homer was the 27-year-old's first as a big-leaguer since 2023 -- he spent all of his time last year and the beginning of this season in the minors. Barrero has gotten into six contests with the Cardinals since being called up in late April and has gone 3-for-13.

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Two hits in win

    Kim went 2-for-4 with an RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over Miami.

    Kim made his first career MLB start Monday after appearing as a pinch runner and swiping a bag Sunday against Atlanta. He singled and stole second base in the fifth inning before coming around to score on Shohei Ohtani's home run. Kim posted a .798 OPS with 14 extra-base hits and 13 steals in 13 attempts across 28 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City before his promotion.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Mets recalled Baty from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

    He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by Jesse Winker (oblique). Baty is behind Luisangel Acuna and Jeff McNeil in the pecking order at second base and behind Mark Vientos at third base. His best shot at playing time in the short term might be at designated hitter, although Starling Marte should be at the top of the depth chart there.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Doing light activities

    Fitzgerald (rib) is doing light activities and rehab work, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Fitzgerald suffered a left rib fracture in late April and finally landed on the 10-day injured list on May 1 after tests revealed the diagnosis. He is expected to be sidelined at least two weeks, but it's a good sign that he's already doing some activities.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Not starting Monday

    Acuna is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Monday.

    Acuna played in both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, going 3-for-8 with one stolen base and one run scored. He'll get a breather Monday while Jeff McNeil starts at second base and bats eighth against Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Getting some rest Monday

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Turang will not be in Monday's lineup against the Astros as he continues to regain strength following an illness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Turang played each of the previous four games after sitting out one contest last week because he was under the weather. He's evidently still not feeling quite 100 percent, however, so he'll get a breather for the series opener versus Houston. Turang will be available off the bench Monday and should be back in the lineup Tuesday.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Rejoining big club

    The Mets are expected to recall Baty from Triple-A Syracuse prior to Monday's game in Arizona, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

    He'll be taking the roster spot of the injured Jesse Winker (oblique). Baty has been dealing with an injury himself lately, having not played since April 30 because of a sore right big toe. However, the toe issue evidently isn't serious enough to prevent a promotion of Baty, who went 3-for-10 with two doubles in three games with Syracuse. With Jeff McNeil back and Luisangel Acuna establishing himself as a regular presence in the Mets' lineup, Baty would appear destined for primarily a reserve role.

    Mets' Brett Baty: Dealing with toe issue

    Baty has yet to play a game in May for Triple-A Syracuse due to a sore right big toe, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    The injury will likely prevent Baty from being an option to re-join the big-league roster if Jesse Winker (side) lands on the IL. Baty went 3-for-10 with two doubles and three RBI in his first three games following his demotion to Syracuse before the toe issue cropped up.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Plays through finger laceration

    Gorman suffered a left index finger laceration during the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    He was injured in the second inning when Willson Contreras stepped on Gorman's glove hand during the latter's sliding catch on a popup in shallow right field. Gorman was checked on by the team trainer but remained in the game, eventually getting removed in the ninth inning for defense. He did not play in the second game of the Cardinals' doubleheader sweep, but it does not seem as though Gorman's finger issue will prevent him from being available Monday versus the Pirates.

  • Tyler Freeman 3B | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Making progress

    Freeman (oblique) is swinging with no restrictions during batting practice, MLB.com reports.

    Freeman has been sidelined since mid-April, so he'll likely require at least a short rehab appearance. He had only one hit in 11 at-bats prior to being sidelined, though the Rockies have rotated between Kyle Farmer, Adael Amador and Owen Miller at second base, so Freeman could have a path to playing time if his performance picks up upon his return.
