  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Arenado is not in the Cardinals' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Arenado went 3-for-4 with a run scored during Friday's 5-0 win over the Dodgers, but he will begin Saturday's game on the bench while Nolan Gorman starts at third base and bats seventh. Arenado has gone 9-for-35 (.257) with two home runs and six RBI over his last nine games.

  • Matt Shaw SS | CHC

    Cubs' Matt Shaw: Collects two more hits Friday

    Shaw went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Tigers.

    Facing Detroit ace Tarik Skubal, Shaw managed to record his second straight multi-hit effort, and he mustered Chicago's only run in a game where scoring was at a premium. After getting demoted following a rocky start to his rookie campaign, Shaw has been a lot better since getting recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 19. Over his past 16 games, the 23-year-old has slashed .345/.387/.466 with seven doubles, four RBI and 10 runs scored.

  • Marcelo Mayer SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Cracks first MLB home run

    Mayer went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-6 loss to the Yankees.

    The Red Sox were out of this game early, falling behind 7-0, but Mayer's fifth-inning homer -- a no-doubter -- sparked a rally that turned a blowout into a close game. It was Mayer's first MLB homer, which came one game after he logged is first RBI as a major leaguer.

  • Ben Williamson 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Ben Williamson: Picks up steal in loss

    Williamson went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Angels.

    Williamson went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts over his first three games in June, leading to a day off to reset Thursday. He bounced back well Friday, earning his fourth multi-hit effort in his last nine games. The third baseman hasn't shown much power, but he's slashing .252/.285/.311 with one home run, two steals, 13 RBI and 23 runs scored over 43 contests while hitting at the bottom of the order.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Perfect at plate

    Lewis went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI single in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Lewis reached base safely in all four plate appearances, the last of which resulted in an RBI single in the eighth to cut the deficit to two runs. Lewis' struggles at the plate this season include an 0-for-32 slump, and he has a .509 OPS across 91 plate appearances this season.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Blasts two-run homer

    Barger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-4 win over Minnesota.

    Barger flirted with a home run after flying out to center field in the first inning, but he was able to leave yard in the fourth on a two-run shot off Bailey Ober. Barger is up to seven home runs on the season, five of which have come over his last seven games, and during that span he has a 1.263 OPS with seven runs scored and 10 RBI.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Begins running progression

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that Bregman (quadriceps) is feeling better and has started his running progression, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Bregman landed on the 10-day injured list May 24 after straining his right quad while rounding first base. It was deemed a "significant strain" similar to the one he sustained in 2021 with the Astros, which caused him to miss 58 games, per Starr. How Bregman progresses in his running program will determine when he'll take the next step in his rehab and provide a clearer timeline for his return.

  • Andy Ibanez 3B | DET

    Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Sent to Triple-A

    The Tigers optioned Ibanez to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

    The 32-year-old has been a key lineup piece against left-handed pitching for the Tigers over the past couple years, but he has a .681 OPS in 70 plate appearances versus southpaws so far in 2025. Ibanez is likely to rejoin the big club once he gets back on track at the Triple-A level.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Out of lineup

    Hayes isn't part of the Pirates' starting nine for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Hayes had made nine consecutive starts. During that stretch, Hayes went 5-for-31 (.161) with three RBI and three runs scored. Jared Triolo will bat eighth and play third Friday.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Snaps hitless streak

    Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored Thursday against the Tigers.

    Rojas has had a rough start to his tenure with the White Sox, as he has just a .175 batting average and .477 OPS across his first 91 plate appearances. His performance Thursday was his fourth multi-hit effort in 27 games, and it also snapped a four-game hitless streak.
