  • Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Taking seat Sunday

    Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Southpaw Garrett Crochet is taking the hill for Boston, so Julien will remain on the bench for a second straight game. Brooks Lee will cover second base while Julien sits.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Shines offensively in loss

    Albies went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Albies notched his first three-hit performance of the campaign and also snapped a 14-game homerless streak while swiping his third bag over his past seven contests. The veteran second baseman has had a relatively quiet start to the season with a .248/.302/.395 slash line through 32 games, but he's provided both some pop and some speed with five long balls and five thefts while knocking in 14 runs and scoring 19 times.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Twins' Kody Clemens: Smacks first homer of 2025

    Clemens went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over Boston.

    Clemens, who started at second base and batted seventh, gave the Twins a two-run lead in the sixth inning, when he took Hunter Dobbins deep to right field for a two-run homer. It was Clemens' first home run of the season, and he's started in three of the Twins' last four games due to injuries to Willi Castro (oblique), Matt Wallner (hamstring), Luke Keaschall (forearm) and Royce Lewis (hamstring).

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Plays hero with late-inning homers

    Schneemann went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Getting the start at second base and batting sixth with Jose Ramirez (ankle) needing the day off, Schneemann did his best J-Ram impression in his place. With the Guardians down 3-0 heading into the eighth inning, the 28-year-old utility player took Chad Green for a solo shot before launching a grand slam off Yimi Garcia in the ninth. Schneemann has seen his playing time pick up in recent weeks and has taken advantage, and he's now slashing .276/.344/.552 through 24 games with four homers, eight runs and nine RBI.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Could play Sunday

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora believes Campbell (ribs) will be able to play Sunday, MLB.com reports.

    Cora hoped Campbell would be able to play Saturday, but he was instead held out for a third consecutive game due to rib discomfort. David Hamilton has filled at second base for all three contests.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Back in Saturday's lineup

    Torres (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting third against the Angels on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Torres did not start in Friday's series opener after tweaking his hamstring against the Angels on Thursday, and one day off has been enough for him to return to the lineup. He's started the season slashing .300/.360/.475 with four stolen bases, 13 runs scored, four home runs and 15 RBI in 89 plate appearances.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Diagnosed with Grade 2 ankle sprain

    Lopez was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right ankle sprain Saturday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

    Lopez felt discomfort in the ankle Friday and was seen wearing a walking boot Saturday. After receiving test results, the second baseman seems likely to require a stint on the injured list since it's a moderate sprain.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Officially recalled

    The Dodgers recalled Kim from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    News of this move first circulated early Saturday, and it came to fruition with Tommy Edman (ankle) landing on the injured list. Kim isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup against Atlanta, as Chris Taylor is getting the start as Edman's replacement at second base. However, it wouldn't be surprising if Kim gets regular opportunities against right-handed pitchers while Edman is on the shelf.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Lands on injured list

    Edman (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 30, on Saturday.

    Edman tweaked his right ankle Tuesday against Miami and was initially expected to be out just a few days. However, the Dodgers are instead opting to move the infielder/outfielder to the IL to give him time to fully recover. The ankle is the same one that caused Edman to spend time on the injured list last season, but he said Friday that his current injury is less concerning, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Because Edman's IL stint was backdated to April 30, he'll be eligible to return next Saturday, May 10. Los Angeles called up rookie Hyeseong Kim from Triple-A to take Edman's place on the roster, but it's Chris Taylor who is starting at second base Saturday against Atlanta.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Sporting walking boot

    Lopez (ankle) is wearing a walking boot Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Lopez exited Friday's contest against the Athletics due to right ankle discomfort, and he's since undergone testing. De Nicola notes that Lopez and the Marlins are awaiting results of those tests before determining next steps. Javier Sanoja is starting at second base in Lopez's absence Saturday.
