MLB Player News

McMahon isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Washington, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

McMahon has been an everyday player for the Rockies this year, but he'll get a breather after he went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Saturday's matinee. Garrett Hampson will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Devers went 4-for-5 with a double in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Orioles.

Devers notched a single in the first inning and then a double in the second frame before adding two more base knocks later in the contest. The multi-hit effort was his third straight and fifth over his last seven contests. Over that stretch, Devers hit .485 with seven extra-base hits -- including three homers -- 11 runs and four RBI. The third baseman is off to a great start in 2022, producing a .354 average with 10 home runs, 25 RBI, 36 runs and a stolen base over 195 at-bats in 46 games.

Moncada, who isn't starting Saturday against the Cubs, is dealing with quadriceps soreness, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The White Sox said Thursday that Moncada was dealing with leg soreness, but general manager Rick Hahn clarified the nature of the third baseman's injury Saturday. Moncada isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list, but Jake Burger will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth Saturday.

Muncy was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with left elbow inflammation.

Muncy's left elbow is the same one in which he suffered a partially torn UCL at the tail end of last season. He wound up being ready for the start of this season despite fears he'd have to miss time, but his .150/.327/.263 slash line through 41 games casts doubt on the idea that he was ever fully healthy. His move to the injured list can be backdated to Thursday, leaving him eligible to return June 5, but the Dodgers may decide he needs more than a minimum-length absence in order to fully heal. Outfielder Kevin Pillar's contract was selected in a corresponding move, which may allow utility players Gavin Lux and Chris Taylor to feature more frequently in the infield until Muncy returns.

Moncada (leg) isn't starting Saturday against the Cubs, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Moncada has been dealing with leg soreness recently, and he'll remain out of the lineup for a second straight matchup. Jake Burger will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Anderson was scratched from Saturday's lineup against Atlanta due to lower back spasms, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson was slated to start in right field and bat fifth Saturday, but he's being evaluated for a lower back injury. Bryan De La Cruz will shift to right field while Willians Astudillo enters the lineup at second base. Anderson should tentatively be considered day-to-day.

Moustakas will sit Saturday against the Giants.

Saturday's starter Alex Wood is the third consecutive southpaw the Reds have faced, with Moustakas sitting in two of those three contests. Brandon Drury will start at the hot corner on this occasion.

LeMahieu (wrist) is starting Saturday against the Rays.

LeMahieu missed the last four games due to left wrist discomfort, but he'll start at third base and lead off Saturday. Over his last three games, he's gone 0-for-9.

Urias went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 12-8 win over the Red Sox.

All three of his hits were singles. Urias notched a pair of three-hit efforts in his last four games, and he continues to log regular playing time at third base. The infielder is up to a .235/.289/.353 slash line with three home runs, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored and seven doubles in 38 games this year.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

He connected on his 10th homer of the year in the fifth inning off Trevor Rogers. Riley has had a tough month of May for the most part, but he appears to be heating up again, hitting safely in five straight games while going 8-for-20 (.400) with a double and two long balls.
