  • Marcelo Mayer SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Set to be called up by Boston

    Mayer is expected to be called up by the Red Sox on Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Mayer was not included in Triple-A Worcester's lineup against Durham on Saturday and was seen getting congratulations from his teammates in the clubhouse, per Katie Morrison-O'Day of MassLive.com. Mayer has spent most of his time at shortstop in Triple-A this season, though he's played 10 games at second base and four at the hot corner, and that infield versatility should give him a chance at regular playing time with Alex Bregman (quadriceps) facing a stint on the injured list. Per the official Red Sox broadcast, Mayer could be available to make his major-league debut in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles. The 22-year-old prospect is slashing .265/.342/.465 with two steals, 31 runs scored, nine home runs and 43 RBI in 193 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Taking seat Saturday

    Correa isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.

    Correa went 2-for-4 with a homer and two runs scored in his return from the injured list Friday, but the Twins will keep him on the bench Saturday to ease him back into action from his concussion. Brooks Lee will get the nod at shortstop and bat third.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Goes yard in return

    Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Royals.

    Correa made an immediate impact in his return from the injured list, smashing his third home run of the year after recovering from a concussion. The 30-year-old infielder is swinging a hot bat over his last 18 outings, during which he's batting .338 (23-for-68) with two homers, two doubles, nine RBI and nine runs scored. Correa may not offer much speed for fantasy managers, but he does present slugging upside at the shortstop position.

  • Logan Davidson 1B | LAA

    Athletics' Logan Davidson: Set for promotion

    The Athletics are expected to promote Davidson from Triple-A Las Vegas, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Davidson will need to be added to the 40-man roster ahead of his MLB debut. The 27-year-old has played all four infield spots as well as left field over 40 games at Triple-A this season while slashing .310/.456/.437 with two home runs, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 182 plate appearances. He could be an option at second base or third base for the Athletics after Gio Urshela injured his hamstring Thursday.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Reinstated Friday

    The Twins activated Correa (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Friday.

    Ryan Fitzgerald was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday without a corresponding move, paving the way for Correa to rejoin the active roster ahead of Friday's series opener versus Kansas City. The veteran shortstop missed exactly one week after suffering a concussion on a collision with Byron Buxton (concussion) last Thursday. Correa is batting .293 through 12 contests in May, though his .675 OPS is underwhelming since he has just one extra-base hit during that stretch.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Drives in pair

    Pena went 1-for-3 with a triple and two RBI on Thursday against the Mariners.

    Pena has gone hitless in five of his last seven games, but he made a contribution Thursday. Despite the slow stretch, the shortstop is still batting .321 across 20 contests in May while delivering 13 RBI and seven runs scored.

  • Greg Jones RF | HOU

    Astros' Greg Jones: Links up with Houston

    Jones signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Jones was let go by the White Sox on May 10 after slashing .145/.254/.258 across 71 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte. Now part of the Astros organization, the 27-year-old switch-hitter will fill in as outfield depth for Triple-A Sugar Land, and he's unlikely to get another look in the majors as long as he continues hitting the way he has been.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Return not imminent

    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that it will be another 7-to-10 days before Seager (hamstring) is activated from the 10-day injured list, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Seager has resumed running and is doing "very well" in his recovery from a right hamstring strain, per Bochy. However, this is his second hamstring-related IL stint this season, his third since 2023 and fourth in his career, so the Rangers want to be cautious with the shortstop. Seager has been sent to be "further evaluated by somebody else," Bochy said, to see if there might be something the team and Seager can do differently with his rehab to prevent future hamstring problems. Seager has been limited to just 26 games this season because of his recurring hamstring issues, but he's been productive when on the field, slashing .300/.346/.520 with six home runs.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Expected back Friday

    The Twins are expected to activate Correa from the 7-day concussion injured list Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    There was no corresponding move announced with Ryan Fitzgerald's demotion to Triple-A St. Paul, pointing to Correa being ready to roll on the first day he's eligible to be activated. He's missed the past week of action after experiencing concussion symptoms as a result of a collision with teammate Byron Buxton, but Correa's symptoms have dissipated and he will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back onto the Twins' active roster.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Back in lineup Thursday

    Wilson (forearm) will start at shortstop and bat second in Thursday's game against the Angels.

    After getting plunked on the left forearm in Tuesday's 7-5 loss, Wilson sustained nothing more than a bruise, but the Athletics still elected to keep him out of the lineup for Wednesday's 10-5 loss. The rookie infielder looks like he'll be ready to go following a day of rest and will slot back to his usual spot in the two hole. Wilson enters Thursday's contest with a .341 batting average, good for third in the majors among qualified hitters.
