  • Jorge Mateo SS | ATL

    Padres' Jorge Mateo: Nearing return

    Mateo (COVID-19) could be activated ahead of Monday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Both Mateo and Jurickson Profar (COVID-19) were spotted playing catch on the field prior to Monday's matchup, and manager Jayce Tingler stated that he's hopeful both players will return from the injured list in time for the series opener. The team has yet to make an official announcement on Mateo's status.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Called up yet again

    Camargo was recalled by Atlanta on Monday.

    Camargo is now on his fourth separate stint on the big-league roster. He was recalled last Monday before being optioned Saturday, but he's up again just two days later with Ender Inciarte heading to the paternity list. None of his previous opportunities led to regular at-bats, and it's unlikely this one will, either.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Raking to begin season

    Mauricio is slashing .341/.386/.732 through nine games for High-A Brooklyn with four home runs and 12 RBI.

    The 20-year-old has already matched his career high in homers, after putting four over the fence in 116 games in 2019 as an 18-year-old at Low-A. Mauricio's growth as a hitter is impressive, but his 3:13 BB:K indicates he still has some things to work on. Nonetheless, the Mets No. 4 fantasy prospect could be headed for a breakout campaign.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Three hits in win

    Turner went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Arizona.

    Turner recorded singles in the third and sixth before smashing an RBI double to extend Washington's lead in the eighth. Turner continued his scorching start with a 7-for-13 weekend in Arizona and is among the league's top hitters.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Out at least four weeks

    Seager won't require surgery but will miss at least four weeks after fracturing the fifth metacarpal on his right hand, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    The 27-year-old is sporting a splint on his right hand after being hit by a pitch Saturday, and he's now on the injured list for the foreseeable future. Gavin Lux is expected to see the bulk of the time at shortstop in Seager's absence, with Chris Taylor also in the mix.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Day off Sunday

    Rojas is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Rojas started the last five games and will take a seat after going 6-for-21 with three doubles, two RBI and five runs during that stretch. Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) is back from the injured list and starting at shortstop Sunday while Isan Diaz remains at second base.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Power surge continues

    Crawford went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Pirates.

    The veteran shortstop remains red hot in May. Crawford has slugged five of his nine homers on the year in the last 10 games, slashing .345/.459/.862 during that stretch with 11 RBI, and he's already gone yard more often through 33 games in 2021 than he did in 54 games last season.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: X-rays show broken hand

    Seager suffered a broken right hand in Saturday's win over the Dodgers, ESPN reports. X-rays after the game revealed the fracture.

    The 27-year-old was removed from Saturday's contest after being struck on the right hand by a pitch. He's expected to be placed on the injured list Sunday.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: IL stint anticipated

    Manager Dave Roberts expects Seager (hand) to be placed on the injured list Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    The 27-year-old was removed from Saturday's contest after being struck on the right hand by a pitch, and he's dealing with some pain and swelling. Seager will undergo medical imaging to determine the severity of the injury, but it's safe to rule him out indefinitely with a trip to the injured list on the horizon.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Leaves after HBP

    Seager was removed from Saturday's game against the Marlins after being hit by a pitch on the right hand, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    The 27-year-old appeared to be in significant pain after being struck by the 90-mph pitch during the fifth inning, and he was promptly lifted for a pinch runner. Seager's availability for Sunday's series finale versus the Marlins is now up in the air.
