  • Nick Yorke 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Yorke: Headed back to Triple-A

    Yorke was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis after Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Phillies, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Yorke will head back to Triple-A after going 0-for-8 with two strikeouts while appearing in four contests following his call-up from Indianapolis on May 8. A corresponding move is expected to be announced ahead of the Pirates' series opener in St. Louis on Tuesday.

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | MIL

    Brewers' Luis Rengifo: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Rengifo started six of the previous seven games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 0-for-8 with two strikeouts in the first two games of the series versus Minnesota. David Hamilton will shift to the hot corner while Joey Ortiz starts at shortstop in the series finale.

  • Javier Sanoja 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Erupts with four RBI on Saturday

    Sanoja went 2-for-5 with two doubles, four RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-5 extra-inning win over the Rays.

    Sanoja fell one RBI short of tying a career high, but he notably posted his first RBI of the month of May altogether Saturday. The 23-year-old has been useful to the Marlins in terms of positional versatility as a super-utility player, but he isn't commanding much fantasy attention. Through 92 at-bats, Sanoja is hitting .261 with no home runs, 14 RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases.

  • Brady House 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: Getting breather Saturday

    House isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    House will take a day to reset Saturday after going 0-for-11 with four strikeouts over his last three games. Jose Tena will start at third base with House out, and Jorbit Vivas will work as the Nats' designated hitter.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Ramon Urias: Gets elbow injury re-evaluated

    Urias was scheduled to get his injured right elbow re-evaluated by a doctor Friday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Out since early May with tennis elbow, Urias has spent the past week getting treatment and doing strengthening exercises, and he was able to progress to on-field work pregame Friday. It's unclear what the result was from Friday's doctor visit, but Urias could soon get clearance to ramp up his activities. The veteran infielder is eligible to return now but does not yet have a timetable.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Pops homer in Friday's win

    Muncy went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 6-0 win over the Angels.

    Muncy has three homers over his last five games, adding five RBI and six runs scored in that span. The third baseman has remained a reliable strong-side platoon hitter, though he's also gotten into the lineup versus left-handed pitchers six times. His splits are not as extreme this year as they were last year -- he's posted a .948 OPS versus right-handers and an .890 OPS against southpaws in 2026. Overall, he's maintained a .275/.372/.563 slash line with 12 homers, 18 RBI, 31 runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases across 164 plate appearances.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Alex Bregman: Scores three times Friday

    Bregman went 2-for-5 with a walk and three runs scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the White Sox.

    Bregman is heating up with a six-game hitting streak, and he's batting .308 with a home run and five runs scored during the productive stretch. It's been a bit of a slow start overall for the veteran third baseman (.696 OPS), but his recent play could be a preview of better days ahead, and there should be no shortage of playing time for Bregman in the heart of Chicago's lineup.

  • Tyler Freeman RF | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Placed on paternity leave

    The Rockies placed Freeman on the paternity leave list Friday.

    By rule, Freeman will be away for the next 1-to-3 games while welcoming a new child to the family. His roster spot is being absorbed by Sterlin Thompson.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Takes batting practice on field

    Suarez (oblique) took batting practice on the field Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

    Suarez underwent an MRI on Thursday that showed the healing he and the team were hoping to see, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. He was cleared to do all the normal pre-game on-field work with teammates. This was the first time he's taken BP on the field since suffering a left oblique strain in late April. It's likely the veteran slugger will need some rehab games before returning to the Reds' roster, but manager Terry Francona noted that it was still too early to schedule or set a target date for a rehab assignment.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Ends power drought Thursday

    Baty went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Tigers.

    The utility player took Keider Montero deep in the fourth inning, tying the game at 3-3 before the Mets turned on the jets in an eventual 9-4 victory. It was Baty's first long ball since April 23, snapping a 17-game drought, and just his second of the season. Through 138 plate appearances, he's slashing .220/.290/.333 with two steals, 15 RBI and 17 runs.
