Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN
Twins' Luke Keaschall: Officially promoted
The Twins selected Keaschall's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Keaschall slashed .261/.379/.348 with five RBI, eight runs and four stolen bases across 58 plate appearances in Triple-A and is regarded as one of the top prospects in the Twins' farm system. He'll help provide some stability in a Minnesota infield that has been battered by injuries recently, though he will be working as the DH during his MLB debut against Atlanta on Friday. Mickey Gasper was optioned to St. Paul to clear space for the Keaschall on the active roster, and Matt Canterino (shoulder) was designated for assignment to free up a 40-man spot.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Appealing one-game suspension
Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Chisholm was given a one-game suspension by Major League Baseball, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Chisholm was ejected from Thursday's game for arguing a called third strike in the seventh inning. The 27-year-old infielder then publicly criticized the call on social media after he was tossed, which prompted the league to hand out a one-game ban. He'll remain eligible to play until a verdict is reached and will start at second base against the Rays on Friday.

Caleb Durbin 3B | MIL
Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Officially called up
The Brewers recalled Durbin from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Durbin entered spring training as the favorite to be Milwaukee's primary third baseman after being acquired from the Yankees this offseason in the Devin Williams trade, but he ended up beginning the campaign in the minors. The 25-year-old hit well to start the season at Nashville with two homers, three steals and a .278/.316/.481 slash line in 13 games, and he's now primed to make his MLB debut for the Brewers. Following the demotion of Oliver Dunn on Thursday, Durbin is poised to receive regular playing time at the hot corner.

Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Solo shot against Baltimore
Schneemann went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Orioles.
Schneemann got the Guardians on the board in the third inning when he took the first pitch he saw from Tomoyuki Sugano deep to center field for a 395-foot solo homer. It was Schneemann's second home run of the season, and the 28-year-old has gone 5-for-11 with one homer and two RBI over his last three games.

Tyler Fitzgerald CF | SF
Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Cracks second homer of 2025
Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.
Fitzgerald struck out in his first three at-bats but launched a 381-foot homer to left field in the ninth inning. The 27-year-old infielder logged at least one hit in all four games of the Giants' series against the Phillies, going 8-for-17 at the plate during that span. Fitzgerald dealt with a lower-back injury during spring training and struggled at the start of the 2025 campaign. When asked about his slow start to the season Wednesday, Fitzgerald said, "I just felt like I had some really bad habits from when I hurt my back in spring training," according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com. However, he has been stellar of late and is now slashing .309/.345/.527 with 10 runs scored, seven extra-base hits, six RBI and a 3:15 BB:K across 60 plate appearances.

Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN
Twins' Luke Keaschall: Bound for big leagues
The Twins plan to select Keaschall's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
With the Twins currently dealing with injuries to Royce Lewis (hamstring), Willi Castro (oblique) and Carlos Correa (wrist), the team will call upon Keaschall to provide a healthy body capable of playing in the infield. The 22-year-old prospect has only started at second base (and DH) in the minors this year, though he also has a bit of experience at first and in center field. He owns a .727 OPS with five RBI, eight runs scored and four stolen bases through 14 Triple-A contests this year and will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.
