  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Slugs fifth homer

    Suarez went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

    Suarez has homered twice in the last five games and now has five long balls on the year. He provided the Mariners' last runs of the contest Saturday. The third baseman has hit at least 31 homers in each of the last four full-length seasons, but he's a bit behind the pace in 2023. He's slashing .231/.330/.349 with 25 RBI, 19 runs scored, a stolen base and five doubles through 45 games.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Clobbers two homers in win

    Devers went 2-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Padres.

    Devers homered in back-to-back innings, going yard in the second and third. The infielder's first long ball put Boston up 1-0, while the second one drove in three runs, extending the lead to 6-0. The 26-year-old now has 13 homers on the year, tied for fourth in MLB.

  • Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Optioned after coming off 10-day IL

    Peraza (ankle) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list by the Yankees on Friday and optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Peraza will continue to get playing time in Triple-A, but it will no longer be on a rehab assignment. The infielder has a good chance of helping New York at some point this summer, and he'll get more regular playing time while in the International League than he would while a member of the Yankees.

  • Royce Lewis 1B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Homers twice in rehab game

    Lewis (knee) homered twice for Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

    Lewis has now homered three times in three games since having his rehab assignment moved to Triple-A, and he's slashing .500/.500/1.250 over his first five rehab games. The 23-year-old is the Twins' top prospect, and it looks like the torn ACL that has sidelined him since last May is no longer bothering him. Lewis isn't eligible to come off the 60-day injured list until May 29, and it's not yet clear if the team plans to immediately add him to the big-league roster or will give him more time in the minors.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Starting at third

    Paredes is starting at third base and batting sixth Friday against the Brewers.

    Paredes saw his six-game hitting streak come to an end during Thursday's loss to the Mets, but with a .978 OPS in the month of May, he's hardly at risk of losing playing time anytime soon.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Not in Friday's lineup

    Garcia is not in the Royals' lineup for Friday's game in Chicago against the White Sox.

    Garcia has been the Royals' primary third baseman of late while also being mixed in at other positions, but he'll begin this contest on the bench. Hunter Dozier will cover the hot corner.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Sitting out Friday

    Paredes is absent from the Rays' lineup for Friday's game versus the Brewers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Taylor Walls will get the call at third base. Paredes has a .978 OPS this month and had a two-homer game earlier this week but has been on the bench two of the last five contests.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Taking seat Friday

    LeMahieu is not in the Yankees' lineup for Friday's game in Cincinnati.

    It's a routine day off for the infielder. Oswaldo Cabrera will play third base while LeMahieu begins the contest on the bench.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Absent from lineup

    Henderson is not in the Orioles' lineup for Friday's game in Toronto, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

    Henderson will take a seat against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. The rookie infielder has gone just 4-for-30 at the plate versus southpaws this season. Joey Ortiz will get the start at third base.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Returns from bereavement

    Ramirez was activated from the bereavement list by the Guardians on Friday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Ramirez missed a series against the White Sox but is back for this weekend's set versus the Mets. He's at third base and batting third against former Cleveland teammate Carlos Carrasco.
