Tigers' Colt Keith: Strong May continues
Keith went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI single in Friday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.
Keith came around to score in the second inning and added to the Tigers' lead in the fourth with an RBI single that brought Riley Greene home.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Experiencing discomfort in ankle
Edman (ankle) has experienced discomfort when running in a straight line, but he is scheduled to participate in live at-bats next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Edman is working through a right ankle injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list April 30. He isn't recovering as quickly as once hoped, and it appears he'll remain on the IL beyond this weekend's road series against Arizona. Hyeseong Kim and Miguel Rojas should continue to see additional work at the keystone for as long as Edman is sidelined.

Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Placed on injured list
The Blue Jays placed Gimenez on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right quadricep strain.
After exiting Wednesday's game against the Angels early, Gimenez underwent imaging Thursday that revealed a strain in his quad which will keep him out until at least May 18. Michael Stefanic will come up from Triple-A Buffalo to give the Jays some short-term infield depth, though Ernie Clement will likely see time at second base going forward with Addison Barger at third and Nathan Lukes picking up starts in the outfield.

Michael Stefanic 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Michael Stefanic: Called up to majors
The Blue Jays selected Stefanic's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.
The move corresponds with the Blue Jays placing Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list. Stefanic signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays in November after appearing in 40 games for the Angels in 2024 when he posted a .556 OPS with eight RBI over 124 plate appearances. He's been more productive in the minors this season, slashing .319/.454/.372 with four stolen bases, seven runs scored and 13 RBI in 119 plate appearances. With Gimenez on the shelf, Stefanic should see some playing time at second base on days when Ernie Clement shifts to third.

Sam Haggerty LF | TEX
Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Added to big-league roster
The Rangers selected Haggerty's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
Haggerty inked a minor-league deal with Texas during the offseason after missing most of last season due to an Achilles injury, and he's enjoyed a strong start to 2025 at Round Rock with a .313/.383/.398 slash line and seven steals in 22 games. The 30-year-old will provide the Rangers with some outfield depth, though he's also seen action at first, second and third base during his big-league career. He's starting in center field and batting leadoff for the Rangers on Friday in Detroit.

Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Back from injured list
The Padres reinstated Cronenworth (ribs) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
The 31-year-old has been sidelined for the past month due to a non-displaced rib fracture, but he's ready to rejoin the Padres after going 3-for-7 with a homer and four walks during a three-game rehab assignment. Cronenworth was off to a hot start prior to the injury with an .895 OPS in 44 plate appearances.

Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL
Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Shifted to 60-day injured list
The Rays transferred Kim (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The move cleared a 40-man roster spot for Connor Seabold. Kim's timeline to return hasn't changed, as he had always been expected back from shoulder surgery in late May at the earliest. Kim began increasing the intensity of his baseball activities in late April, but it's not clear when he will be ready for a rehab assignment.

Estrada (wrist) has resumed fielding drills and running the bases this week, MLB.com reports.
Estrada resumed swinging the bat last weekend as he works toward his Rockies debut after fracturing his wrist late in spring training. He's likely nearing a rehab assignment and should have the chance to be activated by late May or early June.
