  • Alan Trejo SS | COL

    Rockies' Alan Trejo: Sits again Saturday

    Trejo remains on the bench for Saturday's game against the Mets, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Trejo started 10 out of 11 games from April 18 to 29, but since then, he's started just two of six contests. Both of his starts in this recent stretch have come against southpaws, with Harold Castro handling second base against righties like Saturday's starter Tylor Megill.

  • Brett Wisely 2B | ATL

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Notches first two steals

    Wisely went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Brewers.

    Wisely has gotten into six games since he was added to the roster first for the Mexico Series and then as an injury replacement for Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring). His hit Friday was his first in that span, and a 1:4 BB:K is far from impressive, but he was able to notch his first two major-league steals. The utility man is batting .074 with one RBI and one run scored over 29 plate appearances while hitting near the bottom of the order when he draws into the lineup.

  • Nolan Gorman 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Still sidelined

    Gordman (back) remains on the bench for Saturday's game against Detroit, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Gorman exited Thursday's game against the Angels with lower-back tightness and didn't start Friday's series opener against the Tigers, though he did appear as a pinch hitter. That suggests he could be available in a similar capacity Saturday. The Cardinals will certainly be hoping Gorman's back issue is a minor one, as the second-year slugger has hit seven homers in 29 games this season while slashing .265/.348/.531.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Tallies two hits Friday

    Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's win over the Marlins.

    Hoerner keeps rolling along for the Cubs, as he's now batting .309 and has scored 24 runs across 32 games as the team's primary leadoff hitter. The shortstop should continue to be a strong fantasy asset atop the lineup, and he's further boosted by his 11 stolen bases in 13 attempts.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Pops second homer

    India went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the White Sox.

    The 26-year-old took Lance Lynn deep in the fifth inning to give Cincy a 4-3 lead that Hunter Greene couldn't maintain. India has bounced back nicely from his 2022 sophomore slump so far in 2023, slashing .280/.374/.398 through 32 games with two homers, five steals, 13 RBI and 23 runs as the Reds' everyday leadoff hitter.

  • Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | NYM

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Swipes 14th bag

    Bae went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Blue Jays.

    The young utility player continues to do his best Jon Berti impression, stealing his 14th base in 31 games to begin the season, with nine of them coming in the last 10 contests. Bae is also batting .333 (9-for-27) over that stretch, and while he offers little power -- he has just two homers and nine RBI on the year -- he could become more than just a one-dimensional fantasy asset if he keeps stringing together hits.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Marlins' Luis Arraez: Three more hits Friday

    Arraez went 3-for-4 in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Cubs.

    The Marlins only managed eight hits in total, all singles, so Arraez's latest barrage of knocks didn't amount to much on the scoreboard. The 26-year-old's latest hit streak now stands at eight games, and he's produced a blistering .437/.491/.544 slash line through his first 116 plate appearances with Miami -- leading the majors in both batting average and OBP.

  • Luis Garcia 1B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Smacks third homer of season

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss against the Diamondbacks.

    Garcia's 344-foot shot to left gave the Nationals a 1-0 lead in the first inning. The infielder is off to a hot start this month, slashing .294/.368/.529 since May 1. The 22-year-old is currently on pace to pass his career high of seven long balls in a season, which he hit across 93 games last year.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Takes breather Friday

    Turang is out of the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Giants.

    The Brewers are going with a right-handed heavy lineup against Sean Manaea and San Francisco, so Turang's left-handed bat will take a seat. Owen Miller is playing second base and hitting second.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Sitting against lefty

    Donovan is not in the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

    Tommy Edman will play second base and bat leadoff with left-hander Matthew Boyd on the mound for Detroit. Paul DeJong is handling shortstop duties and hitting seventh.
