  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: First career ejection

    Correa was ejected from Saturday's loss at Seattle in the seventh inning for arguing with the umpire about the strike zone while in the on-deck circle, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He went 1-for-2 with a double before departing.

    Correa had never been ejected from a major-league game before Saturday. His ejection came at a poor time in a close game, as Correa has been hot at the plate. He's hitting .400 (10-for-25) with three home runs in his last eight games since returning from a concussion May 23.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Swipes 19th bag

    Caballero went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI, three runs scored, a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Astros.

    Caballero got the chance to lead off with a lefty on the mound, the second consecutive time he's done so. He delivered an excellent performance, extending his hitting streak to five games while also swiping his 19th stolen base of the campaign. Caballero is known primarily for his defense and speed, but he quietly has maintained a 115 wRC+ and .326 wOBA across 154 plate appearances on the campaign.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Dealing with knee soreness

    Montgomery is considered day-to-day due to knee soreness, MLB.com reports.

    Montgomery was hit by a pitch in the knee Friday and was held out of the lineup Saturday. X-rays came back clean, so it is not anticipated that he'll be out for the long term. Montgomery has shown improved form since re-joining Triple-A Charlotte on May 13, maintaining a .275/.373/.510 line across 51 at-bats.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Homers in three-hit game

    Crawford went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Twins.

    Crawford has gone 5-for-8 with two walks over the first two games of this weekend series versus the Twins. His seventh-inning blast Saturday gave the Mariners their first lead of the contest, and it was his first homer since May 16 versus the Padres. The shortstop is at a .267/.386/.377 slash line with five homers, 22 RBI, 27 runs scored, two stolen bases and six doubles over 55 games this season. Crawford continues to regularly hit out of the leadoff spot, where his on-base skills have been valuable despite a relative lack of speed.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Belts two homers Saturday

    Pena went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in a loss to the Rays on Saturday.

    Pena kept Houston close early, with his second home run off Zack Littell tying the game 3-3 in the third inning. However, the Rays went on to score the next 13 runs, and Pena was subbed out after logging just one more plate appearance. The multi-homer game was the second of Pena's career, and he's up to nine long balls and 30 RBI through 58 games this season after posting 15 homers and 70 RBI over 157 regular-season contests last year.

  • Jorge Mateo SS | ATL

    Orioles' Jorge Mateo: Pops first homer of season

    Mateo went 1-for-1 with two walks, a two-run home run and two stolen bases in Saturday's 4-2 win over the White Sox.

    Getting the start in center field and batting ninth, Mateo looked like he might be the latest Baltimore outfielder to land on the injured list when he appeared to hurt his arm in a collision with Heston Kjerstad in the eighth inning. Mateo stayed in the game, however, and proved he was OK by swiping his second bag of the game in the bottom of the frame. That capped a huge performance from the utility player that included his first long ball of the campaign, a fifth-inning shot off Davis Martin, and his first game with multiple walks in over a year. Mateo has started five of the Orioles' last nine games -- three in center field, one in left and one at shortstop -- and he's gone 5-for-17 (.294) over that stretch with seven of his 14 stolen bases on the season.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Drives in game-winning runs

    Arias went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a two-run double in Friday's 7-5 win over the Angels.

    With the game tied 5-5, Arias gave the Guardians their first and only lead in the seventh inning, when his double to center field brought Bo Naylor and Daniel Schneemann home. Saturday was Arias' 11th multi-hit performance and ninth game with multiple RBIs this season. The 25-year-old shortstop is slashing .242/.303/.368 with two steals, four home runs and 24 RBI in 202 plate appearances this season.

  • Cole Young 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Cole Young: Promoted, making major-league debut

    The Mariners selected Young's contract from Triple-A Tacoma, and he will start at second base and bat eighth against the Twins on Saturday.

    Young is set to make his major-league debut after a strong start to the season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .278/.391/.463 with four steals, five home runs and 26 RBI in 245 plate appearances. With J.P. Crawford cemented as the Mariners' starting shortstop, Young will compete with Dylan Moore and Miles Mastrobuoni for regular playing time at the keystone.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Absent from Saturday's lineup

    Walls is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Walls will begin Saturday's contest on the bench while Jose Caballero starts at shortstop and bats in the leadoff spot. Walls has slashed .228/.313/.263 with three steals and four RBI in 67 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

  • Chase Meidroth 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Idle Saturday

    Meidroth is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Orioles on Saturday.

    Meidroth will get a breather after starting in each of the White Sox's last 13 games, slashing .315/.373/.407 with five steals, one home run and two RBI in 59 plate appearances during that span. Vinny Capra will start at shortstop and bat ninth.
