Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM
Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Diagnosed with fractured thumb
Mauricio suffered a fractured left thumb in Saturday's loss to the Angels and will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Mauricio suffered the injury diving into first base on an infield single in the top of the seventh inning. He was replaced on defense in the bottom half of the frame and now appears set to miss extended time. With Francisco Lindor (calf) out multiple weeks, the Mets are in a dire situation at shortstop after Mauricio was just called up last week to fill in for Lindor. Bo Bichette moved to shortstop Saturday following Mauricio's departure and could be in line to fill in there for the immediate future.

Torres was removed from Saturday's game against the Rangers due to left side tightness, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
It's not clear when Torres sustained the injury, but he was replaced by Hao-Yu Lee in the fourth inning after going 2-for-2 with an RBI single in the second frame. The Tigers should provide an update on Torres' status once the veteran second baseman undergoes further tests on his left side.

Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Picks up career firsts in win
Bazzana went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 14-6 rout of the A's.
After going 0-for-9 with four walks in his first three MLB games, Bazzana racked up his first career hit and RBI with a seventh-inning single Saturday, and he promptly swiped his first career bag afterward. The 23-year-old top prospect will get plenty of leeway to establish himself in the majors after slashing .287/.422/.511 over 24 games at Triple-A to earn his first promotion.

The long ball was Sosa's first of the season in his 24th game after he went deep 22 times across 140 contests with the White Sox in 2025. Overall, he's slashing a modest .257/.254/.386 and has yet to take a walk over 72 plate appearances on the campaign, but he may be heating up after going 5-for-9 across his past two games.
