Dylan Moore LF | PHI
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Swats second homer
Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Giants on Saturday.
Moore provided the only run for Seattle on his 411-foot solo shot to center field in the fifth inning. The long ball continued a hot start to the season for the utility man, as he is slashing .400/.500/.800 with two homers, two RBI, three runs and a stolen base through 18 plate appearances. Moore doesn't have a set position or an everyday starting role, but the Mariners have been finding ways to get him into contests consistently. In addition to entering three games as a pinch hitter, Moore has already logged time at first base, second base, third base and DH this season.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Set to travel with team
Jung (neck) went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI single in a rehab appearance with Double-A Frisco on Saturday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Jung served as the designated hitter Saturday but will play third base Sunday. Assuming that appearance goes to plan, he'll travel with the Rangers on their upcoming road trip and could be activated from the injured list as soon as Monday.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Likely out Sunday
Moncada (thumb) will likely be sidelined until Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Moncada was removed from Friday's game and was absent from Saturday's lineup after aggravating a thumb injury. It sounds as if Moncada will be able to avoid a stint on the injured list, and he'll have an extra day to rest with the Angels off Monday.

Jose Miranda 3B | MIN
Twins' Jose Miranda: Goes yard in Saturday's win
Miranda went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Astros.
The 26-year-old finally connected for his first extra-base hit of 2025 when he took Spencer Arrighetti deep in the fourth inning. Miranda has been a consistent presence in Minnesota's injury-depleted infield to begin the year, but he hasn't exactly seized the opportunity, batting .174 (4-for-23) in seven appearances with a 0:8 BB:K. Once players like Brooks Lee (back) and Royce Lewis (hamstring) are ready to come off the IL, Miranda is likely to be squeezed for playing time if he doesn't pick up the pace at the plate.

Jorge Polanco 1B | NYM
Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Getting rest Saturday
Polanco isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Giants.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Sitting Saturday
Moncada (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Moncada aggravated his injured thumb during Friday's game. It will officially cost him at least one start, though there's a chance the Angels will send him to the injured list until his thumb is no longer an issue. While the team weighs its options, Luis Rengifo will move to third base to cover for Moncada, and Kyren Paris will pick up a start at second.

Gio Urshela 3B | MIN
Athletics' Gio Urshela: Resting Saturday
Urshela is out of the lineup for Saturday's game versus Colorado.
