Royals' Maikel Garcia: Swipes three bags in win
Garcia went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and three stolen bases in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Rays.
Garcia had gone just 4-for-9 in steal attempts coming into Thursday's contest after swiping 37 bags in 39 tries last year. Garica has now hit safely in four straight contests, going 7-for-17 (.412) with three doubles in that span. Overall, he's slashing .296/.353/.435 with two homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored across 119 plate appearances this season.

Billy Amick 3B | MIN
Twins' Billy Amick: Hot start at High-A
Amick is batting .388/.465/.442 in 21 games for High-A Cedar Rapids.
Amick was the 60th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, but he didn't impress in his first brief professional season. He hit just .222 with .764 OPS in 18 games at Single-A Fort Myers last year, though he did have a strong 16.0 percent walk rate. He's kept that up with a 16.3 percent walk rate this season, though he does have a concerning 27.3 percent strikeout rate. A continued strong first half of the season could see him promoted to Double-A later this summer since he's a 22-year old out of college (Tennessee) and may be a bit old for his level.

Alex Bregman 3B | BOS
Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Stays hot Wednesday
Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to Toronto.
With his first-inning homer Wednesday, Bregman left the yard for the second time in as many days. The veteran third baseman has flourished to begin his Red Sox career, and he's tearing the cover off the ball of late. Over his last 13 outings, Bregman is hitting .404 (21-for-52) with five homers, five doubles, 12 RBI and 15 runs scored while reaching base safely in each game.

Orioles' Ramon Urias: Smacks solo shot
Urias went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees.
Urias gave the Orioles a one-run lead in the second inning when he took Carlos Carrasco deep to left-center field for a solo homer. It was Urias' sixth multi-hit game and second home run of the season (both coming in his last six games). He's started the season slashing .292/.354/.403 with five runs scored and nine RBI over 82 plate appearances.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Belts solo homer against Cleveland

Lee gave the Twins their first run of the game in the eighth inning, when he took Hunter Gaddis deep to right-center field for a solo home run. Lee has recorded at least one hit in seven of his last nine games, and over that span he has gone 10-for-26 with three walks, two runs scored, one home run and three RBI.
