MLB Player News

Arraez was removed in the bottom of the fifth inning Saturday versus Baltimore due to an apparent right hand injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Arraez was involved in a play in the bottom of the fourth frame during which he was kicked in the right hand by Dylan Beavers, who was running to second base on a groundout. Arraez was looked at by a trainer and temporarily remained in the contest, and he singled to right field during his plate appearance in the top of the fifth. However, Christian Koss entered the contest as Arraez's defensive replacement at second base in the bottom of the fifth. The Giants will likely provide an update on Arraez soon.

Donovan (illness) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Houston.

Leo Rivas will pick up another start at the hot corner Saturday, but Donovan went through infield drills before the game and is expected to return to the lineup for Sunday's contest, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.

Gonzales isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

An 0-for-3 performance in Friday's contest snapped Gonzales' three-game hitting streak, and he'll now get a day to rest while Brandon Lowe starts at second base and Nick Yorke covers third.

Acuna isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

After beginning the series 0-for-6 with a sacrifice fly, Acuna will retreat to the bench Saturday. Andrew Benintendi, Tristan Peters and Dustin Harris will start across the outfield.

Vargas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Vargas has gone 0-for-6 with a pair of walks through the first two games of the series and will now give way to Tanner Murray at third base.

Torres isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Torres will sit down for the first time this season after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. Zach McKinstry starts at second base, batting eighth.

Stott went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

The second baseman swiped his third bag of the year after being hit by a pitch to lead off the sixth inning. Stott has a shaky .179/.238/.205 slash line through 11 games to begin the season, but he appears to be one adjustment at the plate away from going on a tear -- his hard-hit rate of 48.3 percent is by far a career high and almost 20 points better than 2025, but his 4.7 degree launch angle is over 10 degrees lower than last season, leading to a career-high 51.7 percent groundball rate so far.

Schneider went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored during the Blue Jays' 10-4 win over the Twins on Friday.

Schneider contributed to Toronto's five-run fourth inning with an RBI double, and he expanded the Blue Jays' lead in the seventh with a single to left field that brought Vladimir Guerrero home. Schneider has served in a utility role to open the season, and while the infield is fairly solidified, more strong games like Friday's could lead to more playing time in the outfield, especially for as long as Addison Barger (ankles) is on the IL.

Donovan isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros due to an illness, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

After going 2-for-11 with a solo homer during Seattle's last series against the Rangers, Donovan will now take some time off to recover from his illness. Leo Rivas will start at third base and bat ninth Friday and is likely to continue to start at the hot corner until Donovan returns.

Ortiz is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Nationals on Friday.

The Brewers will start David Hamilton and Luis Rengifo at shortstop and third base, respectively, for Friday's series opener. Through five games in April, Oritz has gone 3-for-19 (.158) with one steal, two runs scored and five strikeouts.
