    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Stays hot with three-run homer

    Polanco went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's loss to Miami.

    Polanco stayed hot Friday, having now homered in two of his last three games and logged a hit in seven of his last eight. On the season, the veteran switch hitter is batting .344 with five long balls, two doubles, 16 RBI and one stolen base over 61 at-bats. Although a side issue is currently preventing him from batting right-handed, Polanco is worth a look for fantasy rosters in need of infield help in shallower leagues while he's swinging such a hot bat.

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Suffers broken arm

    Keaschall suffered a fractured right forearm after getting hit by a pitch in Friday's game against the Angels, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Keaschall was taken out of the game in the third inning after taking a pitch off his arm in the first, and it now appears he'll miss at least several weeks as a result of the incident. The Twins are also navigating injuries to Willi Castro (oblique) and Royce Lewis (hamstring), so they may turn to their farm system for help filling the latest gap in their infield.

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Exits after HBP

    Keaschall was removed from Friday's game against the Angels after getting hit on the hand by a pitch, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Keaschall took a pitch off his hand/wrist in the first inning, and although he ran for himself after getting plunked, he didn't come out of the dugout for his next at-bat. The Twins should provide an update on the 22-year-old once they take a closer look at him, but he can be considered day-to-day for now.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Swipes second bag

    Diaz went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

    Diaz continues to swing a hot bat, recording his third three-hit game in his last five starts. He also stole his second base of the season, which is notable because his career high in a campaign is three, and he had zero stolen bases across each of the last two seasons.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Finishes rough homestand

    Devers went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

    Devers extended a hitless streak to 16 at-bats and finished Boston's seven-game homestand 2-for-23, which caused his batting average to dip below .200. He's had a few pockets of hitless runs in 2025, including a historic season-opening slump, when Devers struck out 15 times in his first 19 at-bats. On the bright side, he worked another eight walks during the homestand, and his 18.3 walk percentage is a career high.

  • Brent Rooker DH | ATH

    Athletics' Brent Rooker: Getting first day off

    Rooker isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    Rooker's performance has been trending in the right direction as of late, as he's gone 8-for-25 with three homers, five RBI and eight runs scored over the past week. He'll take a seat Thursday for the first time this season, opening up a spot in the lineup for Seth Brown to serve as the Athletics' designated hitter.

  • Jorge Polanco 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Sitting again versus lefty

    Polanco is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Boston.

    The switch-hitting Polanco remains limited from the right side of the plate as he manages a side injury, so he'll take a seat as the Red Sox send southpaw Garrett Crochet to the bump. Cal Raleigh is in the designated-hitter spot Thursday, while Mitch Garver starts at catcher.

  • Mickey Gasper 1B | MIN

    Twins' Mickey Gasper: Rejoins big club

    The Twins recalled Gasper from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

    Minnesota optioned Gasper to Triple-A less than a week ago, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club after super-utility man Willi Castro (oblique) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Gasper will serve as an emergency No. 3 catcher and will provide depth at three infield spots as well as left field, but he's unlikely to be in store for regular playing time after going 2-for-18 at the plate over 10 games in his initial stint with the Twins this season.

  • Nick Maton DH | CHW

    White Sox's Nick Maton: Sitting against righty again

    Maton is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    The left-handed-hitting Maton finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row against a right-handed starting pitcher. After slashing just .167/.298/.313 with a 28.1 percent strikeout rate over 57 plate appearances to begin the season, Maton's time as a strong-side platoon player for the White Sox may well be over. Expect the White Sox to rotate a number of players at the designated-hitter spot rather than deploying Maton as their primary option.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Strong stretch continues Wednesday

    Diaz went 3-for-6 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

    Diaz established a season high with three RBI on Wednesday, and he also hit two doubles in a game for the first time this season. The veteran infielder now has six multi-hit performances in 2025, and he's been hitting for some more power lately. Over his last 14 outings, Diaz is batting .293 (17-for-58) with three home runs, four doubles, 10 RBI and seven runs scored.
