    Mariners' Luis Torrens: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Torrens is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mets.

    Torrens was on base four times Saturday via two singles and two walks, but he's still hitting .194 with zero home runs and nine strikeouts in 10 games this month. Cal Raleigh gets the start at catcher, batting ninth.

    Mariners' Jesse Winker: Swats clutch homer in loss

    Winker went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's loss against the Mets.

    Winker came up big for the Mariners in the seventh inning, belting a three-run shot to right field to tie the score 4-4. However, that was the final run Seattle scored in the game as the Mets pulled out a 5-4 win. Winker batted only .169 in April but has been better in May, hitting .286 with two homers and seven RBI across 49 at-bats.

    Mariners' Jesse Winker: Extends hit streak Friday

    Winker went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in a win over the Mets on Friday, extending his hitting streak to five games.

    Winker's season slash line is ever-so-slowly inching its way upward, and it now stands at .207/.316/.276 following Friday's production. The outfielder has hit safely in eight of his last nine games overall; however, with only six extra-base hits, including one home run, over 136 plate appearances, he remains significantly off a 2021 pace that led to 57 extra-base knocks, including a career-high 24 homers, in 485 PAs with the Reds.

    Twins' Byron Buxton: On bench Saturday

    Buxton isn't starting Saturday's game against the Guardians.

    Buxton will get a breather after going 1-for-9 with a homer, two runs, two walks and two strikeouts over the last three games. Gilberto Celestino will take his place in center field and bat eighth.

  • Brad Miller DH | SD

    Rangers' Brad Miller: Sits against southpaw

    Miller will be on the bench against lefty Rich Hill and the Red Sox on Saturday.

    Miller hasn't started against a single southpaw all season. That trend continues here with Charlie Culberson at third base and Nick Solak in left field.

  • Ji-Man Choi 1B | NYM

    Rays' Ji-Man Choi: Sits against southpaw

    Choi isn't starting Saturday against Toronto, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

    Choi has drawn four starts since returning to the field, but he's gone 0-for-15 with an RBI and eight strikeouts. Manuel Margot will serve as the designated hitter while Vidal Brujan starts in right field against southpaw Hyun Jin Ryu.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Goes deep again Friday

    Stanton went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored Friday in a 10-4 victory versus the White Sox.

    The slugger got the Yankees off to a fast start in the contest with a 427-foot, two-run bomb to center field. This marked the third straight game in which Stanton has gone deep, and he has gone 7-for-12 with four homers, 11 RBI and six runs during the scorching stretch. The hot streak has lifted his season slash line to .284/.323/.552, and Stanton is tied for third in the league with 10 long balls on the campaign.

  • J.D. Martinez DH | NYM

    Red Sox's J.D. Martinez: Keeps streaks alive

    Martinez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

    Martinez's sixth-inning single extended a hitting streak to 15 consecutive games and a season-long on-base streak to 25. He's shown no sign of slowing down at age 34, posting a slash of .306/.349/.510 with 14 extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored over 106 plate appearances.

  • Miguel Cabrera DH | DET

    Tigers' Miguel Cabrera: Socks second homer

    Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Friday's 4-2 win over the Orioles.

    He opened the scoring with an RBI two-bagger in the third inning before swatting a solo shot in the sixth, his second homer of the year. Cabrera has seven hits in the last four games, including three extra-base knocks, to push his slash line on the season up to .276/.325/.381 with 12 RBI through 29 contests. The 39-year-old is nearing the end of his Hall of Fame career, but he's still capable of making a contribution.

  • Brad Miller DH | SD

    Rangers' Brad Miller: Walks, steals in loss

    Miller went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Red Sox.

    Miller swiped his fourth bag of the season, surpassing his total over 140 games with the Phillies in 2021. The 32-year-old's stolen double-digit bags just once during his career -- 13 for the Mariners in 2015 -- but he's part of a runnin' Rangers squad that is tied for third in MLB with 22 thefts.
