  • Eddie Rosario RF | MIL

    Braves' Eddie Rosario: Gets spot on big-league roster

    Rosario signed a one-year contract with Atlanta on Monday.

    Rosario will join Atlanta ahead of its three-game series in Colorado that begins Monday. The 33-year-old will begin his third stint in the Atlanta organization and could end up filling the strong side of a platoon in right field with Eli White until Ronald Acuna (knee) is ready to return from the injured list. Rosario struggled to a .531 OPS over 319 plate appearances between Washington and Atlanta in 2024 and logged four plate appearances with the Dodgers earlier this month before being cast off the 40-man roster and electing free agency. Before the Dodgers called him up April 18, the veteran outfielder had been hitting well at Triple-A Oklahoma City, slashing .339/.406/.542 with two home runs and three steals in 14 games.

  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Adds to league-leading RBI total

    Flores went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

In five games as the starting first baseman, Steer's gone 7-for-22 (.318) with a double, a home run, five RBI, a stolen base and six runs scored.

  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Smacks homer in nightcap

Santander's moonshot was his third of the season and snapped a five-game hitless streak. He's slashing .179/.261/.302 with eight runs scored and nine RBI over 119 plate appearances.

  • Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU

    Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Homers in win

    Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Royals.

    Alvarez doubled in the first inning and then gave the Astros a lead they wouldn't relinquish with a 436-foot blast to center field in the third. It marked the 27-year-old's first game with multiple extra-base hits this season and his first two-hit effort since April 11.

The 28-year-old entered the weekend below the Mendoza Line for the year but went 5-for-13 with three extra-base hits, three RBI and five runs scored against the Guardians. He's now hitting .216 with four homers, 17 RBI and 20 runs scored across 137 plate appearances.

  • Kyle Manzardo DH | 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.
