Marte went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

Marte has gone 10-for-15 over his last three contests, adding seven RBI in that span. The second baseman is clearly taking advantage of this weekend's series in Colorado, especially since he's had momentum all month -- he's batting .371 (26-for-70) with 10 extra-base hits over 18 games in June. Marte is now hitting .311 on the year, the first time he's been over .300 since May 5. He has a 1.007 OPS and has added 13 home runs, 30 RBI, 43 runs scored, 11 doubles and two stolen bases over 50 games.

Estrada (hand) is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Estrada will be out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game due to a right hand injury, but he told reporters Saturday that he doesn't believe he'll need a stint on the injured list, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. Orlando Arcia will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

The Rangers recalled Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Foscue will fill Jake Burger's (oblique) spot on the 26-man roster after Burger was placed on the 10-day injured list. Foscue will be making his 2025 MLB debut if he gets into a game. He slashed .269/.360/.487 with 10 home runs in 229 plate appearances with Round Rock while playing first and second base.

India went 3-for-5 with a double and a three-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Padres.

His fifth-inning shot off Nick Pivetta gave the Royals a 4-0 lead. It was India's fourth homer of the season, and three of them have come in his last 15 games -- a stretch in which the 28-year-old super-utility player is slashing .279/.308/.475 with nine RBI and 10 runs despite suffering a partial shoulder dislocation a week ago.

LeMahieu isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

LeMahieu will get a chance to rest his legs after going 2-for-4 with a double during Friday's loss. Oswald Peraza will start at the keystone and bat ninth in LeMahieu's place.

Moore went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

The rookie second baseman took Bryan King deep in the seventh inning to tie the game at 2-2. It was Moore's first career homer, and the eighth overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft has started six of eight games since his promotion, batting .182 (4-for-22) with a 1:7 BB:K as he gets his bearings in the majors.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that Gorman will receive "more opportunity" following the injury to Ivan Herrera (hamstring), Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Gorman made his 10th start in 11 games Friday, so he had already been playing a lot lately even before Herrera was hurt. However, the Herrera injury creates a clear path to at-bats at designated hitter against right-handed pitching, and Gorman can also see some action at second base on days when Brendan Donovan plays the outfield. Gorman is slashing .273/.385/.545 with three home runs in June.

Vargas started at second base and went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two additional runs scored in Friday's 14-8 win over Colorado.

Vargas' two-run homer in the fifth inning snapped a 7-7 tie. It was the first home run of the season for Vargas, who was summoned from Triple-A Reno on May 29. Friday's start was just his fourth start (sixth appearance) in 20 games with the Diamondbacks.

Tawa started in center field and went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 14-8 win over the Rockies.

Tawa got the start in place of Alek Thomas against a lefty. His playing time has been sporadic since second baseman Ketel Marte returned from injury -- this was just Tawa's second start in two weeks. He was a below-.200 hitter when Marte was activated May 2, but Tawa has put together a .273 average since then in part-time duty.

Marte went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, five RBI and two additional runs scored in Friday's 14-8 win over Colorado.

Coors Field was a launching pad Friday -- the two teams combined for six home runs and 14 extra-base hits. Marte belted a three-run homer in the fourth inning and then doubled in two more in the seventh. It was the second consecutive three-hit game for Marte, who is lighting it up in June. He's gone 22-for-66 (.333) with a 1.042 OPS, five home runs, three doubles, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored through 17 games this month.
