  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Extends new hit streak to seven

    Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two runs scored and a walk during Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Astros in extra innings.

    After seeing a 21-game hit streak come to a close on May 30, Ramirez has had at least a hit in all seven games since, and he has had multiple hits on five of those occasions. He has a .392/.453/.648 slash line with nine doubles, seven homers, 11 steals, 17 RBI and 27 runs in 32 games since the start of May.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | MIL

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Crushes walk-off homer

    Durbin went 2-for-4 with a walk-off solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 victory versus San Diego.

    The Padres rallied from a two-run deficit to tie the score in the top of the ninth inning, but that just set up Durbin's heroics. The rookie infielder led off the bottom of the frame and deposited David Morgan's first pitch over the outfield wall to send the Brewers home with a victory. It was just the second career homer for Durbin, who has struggled to gain his footing in the majors with a .218/.298/.331 slash line through 44 games.

  • Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Notches steal in loss

    Mastrobuoni went 1-for-2 with a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Angels.

    Mastrobuoni continues to fill a part-time role as a utility player. The 29-year-old's steal was his third of the season and his first since May 7 versus the Athletics. He's gone 4-for-8 across five games in June, but his inconsistent playing time limits any potential upside. For the year, he's slashing .243/.325/.301 with one home run, eight RBI, 13 runs scored and three doubles over 120 plate appearances.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Ends power drought

    McMahon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Mets.

    McMahon had gone 22 games without a homer prior to Saturday, batting just .188 with a .237 slugging percentage and 9:24 BB:K in that span. The infielder broke the power drought with a game-tying solo shot in the fourth inning, but it was the lone run the Rockies had in this loss. McMahon has hovered just above the Mendoza Line over the last month and now has a .207/.316/.355 slash line with seven homers, 18 RBI, 24 runs scored and one stolen base across 62 contests this season.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Fills box score in win

    Mauricio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

    Mauricio has started four of five games since his call-up from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday. Saturday's effort included his first multi-hit game, his first homer and his first steal of the season, and he also avoided striking out. He's 3-for-16 with an 0:4 BB:K so far. He's made three starts at third base and one at shortstop, but the hot corner will be Mauricio's best bet for playing time. He'll compete with Brett Baty there, and Mauricio also offers another switch-hitting option at second base, but his time at shortstop will be limited unless Francisco Lindor needs to manage a broken toe that cost him a couple of games earlier this week.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Hot hitting during rehab assignment

    Westburg (hamstring) went 2-for-2 with a home run, a double and a walk in Saturday's rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk.

    Westburg is up to seven minor-league appearances during his assignment, having now slashed .360/.429/.760 with two homers, four doubles and five RBI over 28 plate appearances. It seems as though the Orioles are taking a cautious approach with the 26-year-old infielder, who has been sidelined since late April due to a left hamstring strain and subsequent setback. It remains unclear how much more action Baltimore wants Westburg to get in the minors, but he appears to be on the verge of a return.

  • Matt Shaw SS | CHC

    Cubs' Matt Shaw: Pops second homer

    Shaw went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Tigers.

    The rookie third baseman launched a slider from Keider Montero over the left-field fence in the seventh inning, one of five long balls by the Cubs on the afternoon. It's the second homer of the season for Shaw and his first since he returned to the majors May 19. In 17 games since being called back up, he's batting .339 (21-for-62) with seven doubles, seven steals, five RBI and 11 runs.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Belts 17th home run

    Suarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 13-1 loss to Cincinnati.

    Suarez supplied the Diamondbacks' only run in Saturday's blowout with a solo home run off Nick Martinez in the second inning. It was Suarez's 17th home run of the season, which is tied with Pete Crow-Armstrong for fourth most in the National League. Suarez is slashing .233/.309/.509 with one steal, 13 doubles and 47 RBI across 262 plate appearances this season.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Not entirely ruled out for 2025

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that there is a "small possibility" that Cabrera (ankle) could return to action this season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    A few days after Cabrera was diagnosed with a fractured ankle in mid-May, Boone said it's "probably unlikely" that the utility man will play again this season. That sentiment hasn't changed, though Boone reiterated the same point with more positive wording Thursday. Cabrera underwent surgery on the ankle to repair both a fracture and ligament damage, and he's still wearing a protective boot while getting around on a scooter, so there remains a long road ahead before he's ready to play again.

  • Otto Kemp 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Otto Kemp: Gets first big-league call-up

    The Phillies selected Kemp's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Kemp has impressed at the Triple-A level this season, slashing .313/.416/.594 with 14 home runs, 19 doubles, 55 RBI, 49 runs and 11 stolen bases over 58 games. His versatility is also an asset, as Kemp has logged time at both corner-infield positions as well as at second base and in left field in the minors this season. His promotion comes as a corresponding move to Bryce Harper (wrist) landing on the injured list.
