  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Manzardo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Manzardo has a .936 OPS with three homers in his past eight games, but he'll take a seat Sunday even though Boston is sending a righty-hander (Brayan Bello) to the mound. Jose Ramirez is resting his legs as the designated hitter while Will Wilson receives a start at the hot corner.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Makes hard contact Saturday

    Devers went 3-for-7 with two walks, a double, a home run, two RBI and three runs across both ends of Saturday's doubleheader split against the Guardians.

    After going 0-for-15 over the last five games of Boston's most recent homestand, Devers was happy to get away from Fenway. The 28-year-old slugger launched a solo shot off Ben Lively in the third inning of the matinee, his third long ball of the season, and he reached base three times in each contest including a hit-by-pitch. Despite his struggles making consistent contact so far in 2025, Devers has had no trouble getting on base, and over his last 11 games he's slashing .184/.373/.421 thanks to an 11:9 BB:K.

  • Jorge Polanco 1B | NYM

    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Clubs two homers in blowout win

    Polanco went 2-for-4 with a walk, two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Saturday's 14-0 win against Miami.

    The 31-year-old went deep in the first and fourth innings Saturday and now has four long balls in his past four games. Despite being limited to hitting from the left side and not being able to play the field due to a lingering side injury, Polanco has continued his hot start to the campaign and has a .354/.377/.708 slash line with seven homers, 18 RBI and 10 runs in 70 plate appearances.

  • Nick Maton DH | CHW

    White Sox's Nick Maton: Cast off 40-man

    Maton was designated for assignment Saturday.

    The White Sox traded for infielder Gage Workman and Maton will lose his spot on the roster as a result. Maton, 28, has hit below .175 in each of his big-league stints over the past three seasons.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Officially placed on IL

    The Twins placed Keaschall (forearm) on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

    Keaschall suffered a right forearm fracture after getting hit by a pitch in the first inning of Friday's game. The Twins haven't provided a timeline for the 22-year-old's return just yet, but it will likely be several weeks before he's ready to come off the IL.

  • Joc Pederson DH | TEX

    Rangers' Joc Pederson: Logs first RBI

    Pederson went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over San Francisco.

    Pederson singled home a run in the fifth inning to increase the Rangers' lead to 2-0. Incredibly, it was the first RBI of the season for Pederson, who has mostly batted third for the Rangers. After enduring an 0-for-41 stretch, Pederson has two hits and over his last six at-bats.

  • Jorge Polanco 1B | NYM

    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.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    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.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    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.
