  • Thomas Saggese SS | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Rips two doubles against NYM

    Saggese went 2-for-4 with two doubles in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.

    Saggese was responsible for two of the Cardinals' three hits Saturday, both of which resulted in doubles in the second and fifth innings. It was Saggese's fourth multi-hit game of the year, two of which have come over his last three games. He's started the season slashing .433/.419/.633 with four runs scored, one home run and five RBI across 31 plate appearances, and he's making a case for regular playing time even once Masyn Winn (back) returns from the injured list.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Leads hit parade Saturday

    Turner went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-10 win over the Marlins.

    The Phillies didn't hit a home run on the afternoon among their 18 knocks, but six different players recorded multiple hits, which was led by Turner's four. The shortstop has had a sluggish start to the season at the plate, but he's more than capable of turning things around quickly. Through 19 games, he's now slashing .257/.337/.351 with one homer, five steals, six RBI and 12 runs.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Sitting Saturday

    Bogaerts is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday.

    Bogaerts will start Saturday's game in the dugout after going 3-for-21 with one run scored and five strikeouts over his last six outings. Jose Iglesias and Tyler Wade will start at shortstop and second base, respectively, against Astros right-hander Hayden Wesneski.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Not starting Saturday

    Kiner-Falefa is not in Pittsburgh's starting lineup against Cleveland on Saturday.

    Kiner-Falefa has recorded at least one hit in five of his last six games, going 6-for-20 with one stolen base, two runs scored and one RBI over that span. He'll be in the dugout for the beginning of Saturday's game while Jared Triolo starts at shortstop and bats seventh against Guardians right-hander Ben Lively.

  • Pirates' Termarr Johnson: Dealing with knee injury

    Johnson suffered a knee injury during Double-A Altoona's 12-1 loss to Somerset on Friday, Jarrod Prugar of DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

    Johnson sustained the injury in the seventh inning after colliding with a teammate in the outfield. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, and Altoona manager Andy Fox told reporters after the game that Johnson would undergo further testing Saturday to determine the severity of the injury. Johnson has begun the year in Double-A slashing .227/.346/.318 with eight walks, five stolen bases, seven runs scored, one home run and five RBI in 52 plate appearances.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Lands on IL with hip contusion

    The Rockies placed Tovar on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to April 16, due to a left hip contusion.

    Tovar was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Dodgers due to the left hip injury. The issue is severe enough to warrant a stint on the injured list, and how he responds to treatment over the coming days will help determine his timeline for a return. Aaron Schunk's contract was selected from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move, and he'll start at shortstop and bat ninth against the Nationals on Saturday. Kyle Farmer could also see some playing time at shortstop while Tovar is sidelined.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Struggles continue Friday

    Adames went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Angels.

    Adames failed to record a hit for the second consecutive game. He has gone 2-for-17 over his last four games after logging his third multi-hit effort of the season against the Phillies on Monday. The 29-year-old shortstop has been cold to begin the 2025 campaign, posting the Giants' second-lowest batting average among qualified players. Adames is now slashing .185/.256/.272 with eight RBI, five extra-base hits and an 8:24 BB:K across a team-high 90 plate appearances.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Walks it off to continue hot April

    Lindor went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

    Lindor capped off a seesaw battle with a walk-off solo shot, the first walk-off homer of his Mets career. After getting off to a 0-for-11 start in March, the All-Star shortstop has hit safely in 14 of his first 15 games in the month of April. During this hot stretch, Lindor is slashing .308/.365/.462 with two homers, seven RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Cracks three-run shot vs. Baltimore

    De La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Friday's 8-3 win over the Orioles.

    De La Cruz struck out in three of his five at-bats Friday, but he put the Reds on the board in the third inning when he took the first pitch he saw from Cade Povich deep to center field for a 400-foot, three-run long shot. It was De La Cruz's fourth homer of the season, and his 21 RBI are tied with Pete Alonso and Kyle Tucker for second most in the National League behind Wilmer Flores (23).

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Heating up this month

    Lindor went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.

    Lindor lined a single to drive in a run in the fourth inning but also helped another run come across while getting caught in a rundown to end the frame. The All-Star shortstop has now hit safely in 13 of his 14 outings in April, slashing .317/.377/.433 with one home run, six RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases across 60 at-bats this month following a 0-for-11 start in March.
