  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Blasts homer Sunday

    Bichette went 2-for-6 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Angels.

    Bichette posted his fourth multi-hit game in his last five contests, and he's had an extra-base hit in each one. He delivered a big one Sunday, hitting a game-tying solo shot in the eighth inning to knot the score at 10-10. The shortstop's surge has him up to a .253/.285/.419 slash line with seven homers, 24 RBI, 23 runs scored, 12 doubles and four stolen bases through 207 plate appearances.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Belts 10th homer

    Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.

    Seager went 0-for-9 in the first two games of this series against the A's, but he went 4-for-8 with a pair of homers and a double in the most recent two contests. The shortstop's lone hit Sunday came in the first inning. He's up to 10 homers, 23 RBI, 23 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases while maintaining a .237/.306/.435 slash line in 196 plate appearances this year.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Pops eighth homer

    Pena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

    Pena went deep off Mariners starter Marco Gonzales in the second inning. That was Pena's fourth homer in May and his eighth long ball of the year. The shortstop has been steady with a .290/.340/.510 slash line, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored, three stolen bases, six doubles and a triple through 159 plate appearances in his first big-league season.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Heading to injured list

    Anderson (groin) will require a trip to the injured list, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Anderson sustained a right groin strain while fielding a grounder up the middle during Sunday's win over the Cubs, and he had to be helped off the field. While manager Tony La Russa doesn't yet know the severity of the 28-year-old's injury, La Russa said that the shortstop will "for sure" require a trip to the injured list. Leury Garcia and Danny Mendick should see additional playing time at shortstop while Anderson is sidelined.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Dealing with groin strain

    Anderson was diagnosed with a strained right groin after exiting Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    The 28-year-old suffered the injury while fielding a grounder up the middle during the fifth inning Sunday, and he needed assistance leaving the field. Anderson will be further evaluated Monday, and there's a decent possibility he requires a stint on the injured list.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Exits with leg injury

    Anderson was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs with an apparent right leg injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

    Anderson suffered the injury during the fifth inning while making a play on a grounder up the middle, and he favored his right leg while being helped off the field. The 28-year-old went 1-for-2 prior to this exit, and his availability going forward will remain in question until more is known about the injury.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Running hot at plate

    Bichette went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

    With doubles in each of his last four games, Bichette is beginning to warm up at the plate, but his contributions in the counting-stats categories are still lacking as a whole this season. Despite starting in all 46 of the Blue Jays' games to date, Bichette has supplied modest totals of 23 RBI, 21 runs, six home runs and four stolen bases. He'll remain in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, playing shortstop and batting third.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Leads charge in win over A's

    Seager went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-4 win over the A's.

    The Rangers' pricey -- and so far disappointing -- double-play duo led the way in the big victory, as Seager and Marcus Semien combined for two homers and seven RBI. Seager snapped a 1-for-22 mini-slump with his performance, and on the season he has a .237/.304/.422 slash line with nine home runs, two steals, 22 runs and 22 RBI through 44 games.

  • Rays' Wander Franco: Another extra-base knock

    Franco went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk and a run scored Saturday against the Yankees.

    Franco struck out in each of his first two at-bats but led off the eighth inning with a triple before coming around to score. He's shown a concerning lack of power in May -- he entered Saturday with just a .247 slugging percentage across 85 at-bats in the month -- but he now has two doubles and a triple across his last four games. That's not enough to completely alleviate concerns regarding his recent struggles, though it appears that he is finding his swing again. Overall, Franco has maintained a .263/.293/.421 line across 181 plate appearances.
