    Massey and his career .623 OPS against southpaws will take a seat Saturday against Framber Valdez. Maikel Garcia will start at second base.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Late scratch Saturday

    Fitzgerald was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Rangers due to a chest contusion, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Fitzgerald may have injured his chest while diving over the side wall to catch a foul ball Friday. He'll take a day to recover Saturday; meanwhile, Christian Koss will fill in at second base and bat eighth.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Sitting Saturday

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Sitting second straight

    Paris isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Paris has cooled off tremendously after a hot start to the season, going 0-for-21 with 12 strikeouts over his last eight games. He'll take a seat for the second game in a row Saturday while Tim Anderson starts at second base and bats ninth.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Sitting out Game 1

    Keith isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore.

    Keith will take a seat to begin Saturday's festivities after going 2-for-10 with an RBI and a run scored over his last five games. His absence will put Spencer Torkelson at first base and open a spot in the lineup for Zack McKinstry to start in right field, batting third.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Pops two-run homer

    Baldwin went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Athletics.

    Baldwin has primarily started in the corner outfield spots for the White Sox, but he slotted in at shortstop Friday with Chase Meidroth (thumb) sidelined. He popped his second homer of the season in the ninth inning against impressive closer Mason Miller, giving Baldwin his first multi-hit effort since April 11. Despite the slow stretch, he has six extra-base hits with a 108 wRC+ across 74 plate appearances.

  • Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: No significant change in recovery

    Kim (shoulder) is increasing the intensity of his baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

    Kim visited Dr. Neal ElAttrache on April 24, but he reported that "nothing has changed" in his recovery process. It was noted that Kim is throwing, hitting and fielding with increased intensity, but no further details were offered. Kim is projected to return in late May.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Continues hot streak Friday

    Donovan went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI single in Friday's 3-2 win over the Brewers.

    Donovan drove in what was ultimately the game-winning run in the fifth inning, with his single to left field off Chad Patrick bringing Lars Nootbaar home. Donovan has logged at least one hit in 21 of 24 games this season, and his .366 batting average over 102 plate appearances leads the National League.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Twins' Kody Clemens: Shipped to Minnesota

    The Phillies traded Clemens to the Twins on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    Clemens was dropped from Philadelphia's 40-man roster Wednesday after appearing in just seven games, during which he went 0-for-6 with a walk. His move to Minnesota will put him back on a team's 40-man, and he figures to have an easier path to playing time in the Twins' infield with Willi Castro (oblique), Royce Lewis (hamstring) and now Luke Keaschall (forearm) all dealing with injuries.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Moves to 60-day IL

    The Rockies transferred Estrada to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Estrada has been on the injured list since Opening Day due to a fractured right wrist, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until at least late May. Owen Miller was selected to the active roster Friday in a corresponding move.
