  • Kellon Lindsey SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Kellon Lindsey: Delayed start to season

    Single-A Ontario placed Lindsey on the 7-day injured list April 2 with a shoulder injury, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.

    Callis cites Lindsey's shoulder impingement from 2025 as the reason he is getting extra reps in Arizona before heading to Ontario by the end of the month. Lindsey was a two-sport star in high school and has game-changing speed, but it's been a slow process at the plate for the 20-year-old. He struck out at a 31.7 percent clip last year across rookie ball and Single-A while hitting for minimal power (three homers, .126 ISO) in 32 games.

  • Diamondbacks' Demetrio Crisantes: Out 6-8 weeks

    Double-A Amarillo placed Crisantes on the 7-day injured list April 3 with a hamstring injury, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

    He is expected to miss between six and eight weeks with what is presumably a strain. Crisantes was given an aggressive assignment to Double-A after missing most of 2025 following a significant left shoulder injury. He isn't a big-time athlete, but when healthy, Crisantes has been one of the better pure hitters in the lower levels of the minors. He hit an unlucky (.257 BABIP) .252 with a .358 OBP, four home runs, six steals and more walks (21) than strikeouts (19) in 34 games at High-A as a 20-year-old.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Doubles twice in win

    Tovar went 2-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI on Wednesday against the Astros.

    Tovar completed a five-run rally in the second inning with a two-out RBI double. He added another two-bagger in his next plate appearance to mark only his second multi-hit effort of the season and first since March 30 -- a span of six starts. Tovar has managed 12 hits across 45 at-bats to begin the new campaign, though that's been paired with a 29.8 percent strikeout rate and only one stolen base and one home run.

  • Aidan Miller SS | PHI

    Phillies' Aidan Miller: Resumes taking swings

    Miller (back) has resumed swinging a bat, MLB.com reports.

    Although it's an encouraging step forward for Miller, there remains no clear timetable for his return to game action for Triple A Lehigh Valley. The 21-year-old shortstop, who is Philadelphia's top prospect, has been nursing lower-back soreness since spring training and figures to be brought along slowly amid his recovery.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Steals again

    De La Cruz went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Marlins.

    De La Cruz walked, stole a base and scored a run in the first inning. After failing to record a steal in the first eight games, De La Cruz has stolen a base in three of the last four contests while going 4-for-15 with a double during that span.

  • Yairo Padilla SS | STL

    Cardinals' Yairo Padilla: Sidelined at Single-A

    Single-A Palm Beach placed Padilla on the 7-day injured list with a shoulder strain, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

    Padilla has consistently been around 20 percent better than league average while stealing 46 bases in 73 games at the rookie level across his age-17 and age-18 seasons. The switch hitter won't turn 19 until around midseason and has hit only one home run in pro ball, but if he grows into even fringe-average power, the rest of his tools (above-average hit, speed, defense) could carry him to an everyday shortstop role in time.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Ends drought

    Perdomo went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Mets.

    Perdomo's first-inning single snapped an 0-for-13 run. Following a breakout in 2025 when he had 20 home runs and 100 RBI, Perdomo's scuffled to open this season. He's slashing .179/.277/.308 with four RBI through 12 games; at this point last season, the shortstop slashed .293/.347/.415 with 12 RBI.

  • Pirates' Yordany De Los Santos: To 7-day IL

    High-A Greensboro placed De Los Santos on the 7-day injured list April 4 with an undisclosed injury.

    The 21-year-old infielder hit .375 with a home run and two steals in two games prior to suffering the injury. De Los Santos logged a .699 OPS in 116 games at Single-A in 2025.

  • Javier Sanoja SS | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Back to bench vs. righty starter

    Sanoja is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Sanoja will hit the bench after he had been included in the lineup at third base in each of the Marlins' last four games -- all against left-handed starting pitchers. Graham Pauley will settle back in at the hot corner Wednesday in place of Sanoja, who is likely to remain stuck in the short side of a platoon.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Getting breather Wednesday

    Lopez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Reds.

    Lopez had been listed in the Marlins' initial lineup, but that was a clerical error as he had been scheduled for a day off, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. Leo Jimenez will cover shortstop and bat eighth for Miami.
