Will Wilson SS | SEA
Mariners' Will Wilson: Placed on IL with fractured thumb
The Mariners placed Wilson on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a fractured left thumb.
Wilson may have picked up the injury against the Twins on Wednesday, when he went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout. He'll undergo further tests on his thumb before the Mariners map out a timeline for his return, but a fractured thumb typically means a lengthy stint on the IL. Catcher Jhonny Pereda was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Astros' Carlos Correa: Logs two hits against Boston
Correa went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored during the Astros' 6-3 win over the Red Sox on Saturday.
Correa gave the Astros a 5-0 lead in the fifth inning after his single off Connelly Early brought Cam Smith home. It was the 10th multi-hit game of the season for Correa, five of which have come over his last 10 games. He has reached base safely in six straight games, going 9-for-24 (.375) with two home runs, three RBI and five runs scored over that span.

Brice Matthews SS | HOU
Astros' Brice Matthews: Belts three-run homer Saturday
Matthews went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk during the Astros' 6-3 victory over the Red Sox on Saturday.
Matthews gave Houston a 4-0 run lead after belting a three-run long ball to center field off Connelly Early. It was the third home run of the season for Matthews, two of which have come over his last five games. In that five-game span, he has gone 9-for-21 (.429) with one steal, six RBI and four runs scored. Matthews has enjoyed more playing time in the outfield as of late due to the absences of Joey Loperfido (quadriceps), Taylor Trammell (groin) and Jake Meyers (oblique), all of whom are on the Astros' 10-day injured list.

Brooks Lee SS | MIN
Twins' Brooks Lee: Scores two runs Friday
Lee went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Lee has multiple hits in four of his last eight games and is now slashing .252/.313/.417 with five home runs, 17 RBI, 14 runs scored, two stolen bases and an 8:21 BB:K across 112 trips to the plate this season. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 draft is still batting near the bottom of the lineup.

Austin Martin SS | MIN
Twins' Austin Martin: Three more singles Friday
Martin went 3-for-5 with three singles in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Martin is slashing .333/.484/.435 across 91 trips to the plate this season, but 18 of his 23 hits have been singles, as he's produced one home run, seven RBI, 11 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 19:13 BB:K. Martin has been a good source of batting average and on-base percentage, but he's not doing much else. He's also been caught stealing an MLB-high four times. Martin should continue to see regular playing time with his hot bat and good eye at the dish.

White Sox's Sam Antonacci: Two hits Friday
Antonacci went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Padres.

Montgomery went deep in the fifth inning to stretch the White Sox's lead to 7-0 at the time. The shortstop has hit safely in four straight contests, going 5-for-16 (.313) with two homers and three RBI in that span. He's up to nine homers, 22 RBI, 15 runs scored and one stolen base over 32 contests this season while maintaining a .237 batting average and .859 OPS. He also has a 28.8 percent strikeout rate, but that's tolerable as long as he continues to slug.

Correa was responsible for the Astros' only run, launching a solo shot in the third inning.

He's been impressive in the early going, slashing .288/.370/.441 with three homers, 15 RBI, 21 runs scored and a stolen base across 127 plate appearances.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Getting rest Friday
Martinez isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.
Martinez will get a breather after making six consecutive starts and going 6-for-24 with two homers, five RBI and a steal in that span. His absence will allow Chase DeLauter to start in right field while Rhys Hoskins serves as Cleveland's designated hitter.
