  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Exiting starting nine Sunday

    Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Lee had started each of the last four games -- three at second base, one at third base -- but his playing time could become more sporadic now that the Twins are back to full strength in the outfield following the recent returns of Matt Wallner and Byron Buxton from the injured list. With Wallner and Buxton back in the fold, super-utility man Willi Castro could end up seeing more work at second base at Lee's expense. Rather than Castro -- who will start in left field Sunday -- it will be the hot-hitting Kody Clemens who fills in for Lee at the keystone.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Battling thumb issue

    Garcia was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers due to right thumb soreness.

    Garcia was penciled in to make his 46th consecutive start but will instead step out of the starting nine due to the thumb injury. He'll have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery before Kansas City travels to St. Louis to begin a three-game series Tuesday. Jonathan India replaced Garcia in the lineup Sunday after originally being scheduled for a day off.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Moncada is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Moncada returned to the lineup Saturday and went 2-for-4 with a solo homer after sitting out one game due to knee soreness, but he's back on the bench Sunday. There's been no indication that the veteran third baseman aggravated the injury, so he could just be getting a rest day. Luis Rengifo will shift to third base while Scott Kingery receives a start at the keystone.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Powers offense in rout

    Muncy went 3-for-6 with two home runs, three total runs and seven RBI in Saturday's 18-2 thrashing of the Yankees.

    Muncy's first RBI was a relatively quiet one, as he laced a single to center to bring in the Dodgers' second run in the first inning. The veteran third baseman followed with two big blasts -- a 400-foot, three-run shot in the second inning to send New York starter Will Warren to the showers and a 410-foot, three-run blast in the fifth. Muncy achieved a couple of personal milestones Saturday, as his first long ball was the 200th regular-season homer of his big-league career, while his seven RBI tied a single-game career high. He appears to be coming around in the power department; after swatting just one long ball in his first 39 games, Muncy has belted five homers while racking up 22 RBI over his past 15 contests.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Drives in three

    Baty went 1-for-4 with a three-RBI triple and one run scored in Saturday's win over the Rockies.

    Baty's bases-clearing triple in the first inning gave the Mets a lead they never relinquished. The 25-year-old has taken advantage of consistent playing time in May, slashing .292/.344/.573 with six home runs and 20 RBI in his past 30 games. The former top prospect struggled through his first three MLB seasons and owns a career .636 OPS, but he may be turning a corner in 2025.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Multi-hit effort

    Rojas went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Orioles.

    Rojas has struggled to get going at the plate since being activated from the injured list May 6, as this marked his first multi-hit game in his last 10 starts. He also managed to swipe his third bag of the season and second in his last five games. Despite the encouraging performance, Rojas is hitting only .175 with two extra-base hits across 72 plate appearances for the campaign.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Slugs two long balls in rout

    Caminero went 4-for-5 with two home runs, two doubles, four total runs and five total RBI in a 16-3 win against the Astros on Saturday.

    Caminero put the Rays ahead for good with a 355-foot solo shot in the fourth inning and finished his big day at the plate with a three-run blast in the eighth. The talented young third baseman has been on quite a roll to end the month, racking up four home runs and 13 RBI while going 9-for-18 over his past four games. Caminero now has 13 long balls, 37 RBI, 30 runs and three stolen bases while slashing .265/.291/.512 over 223 plate appearances on the campaign.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Belts homer in return

    Moncada (knee) went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Guardians.

    Moncada returned to the Angels' lineup Saturday after missing Friday's contest due to right knee soreness. He put the Halos on the board in the third inning with a solo home run, and he came around to score in the fifth on a Mike Trout double. Moncada will end the month of May with a .253/.329/.573 slash line with six home runs and 15 RBI in 85 plate appearances.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Reaches base four times

    Ramirez went 2-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Angels.

    Ramirez cut the Guardians' deficit to two runs in the fifth inning, when he took Kyle Hendricks deep to right field for a 357-foot solo home run. Saturday marked Ramirez's 22nd multi-hit game of the season, 13 of which have come in the last month. He'll end the month of May with a .386/.451/.634 slash line with eight steals, eight doubles, five home runs and 14 RBI in 113 plate appearances.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Homers in loss

    Bohm went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 17-7 loss to the Brewers.

    In an otherwise forgettable day for the Phillies, Bohm put them on the board with a solo homer in the fourth inning. It was a fitting end to a fantastic May, during which he slashed .324/.364/.510 with nine extra-base hits, 13 RBI and 14 runs scored. For the year, the 28-year-old owns a .270/.306/.386 line with five home runs, 21 RBI, 25 runs scored and a stolen base across 229 plate appearances.
