  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Three singles

    Seager went 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 14-11 win over the Angels.

    Seager reached base three times in the game's fourth and fifth innings, scoring twice in that stretch as the Dodgers tallied 11 runs. The game raised his line to .260/.361/.433.

  • Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA

    Braves' Ehire Adrianza: Perfect night at dish

    Adrianza went 3-for-3 with a run, RBI and walk as Atlanta beat Philadelphia 8-7 Saturday.

    Adrianza entered in the seventh and proceeded to get on base four times in five innings, including a walk-off single in the 12th. He's been successful in a reserve role this season with a .302/.340/.535 slash line.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Launches three-run homer

    Crawford went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's win over the Padres.

    Crawford blasted his seventh long ball of the campaign in the second inning, and the veteran shortstop has now gone deep in three of his last five games. He has also hit safely in four contests while posting an excellent 6:1 BB:K during that five-game stretch.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Swats second homer

    Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers.

    He gave the Marlins an early lead by taking Adrian Houser deep to lead off the bottom of the first inning. Rojas only has two homers on the year, but they've both come in the last three games -- part of a power binge that's seen him also rack up three doubles and a triple while going 10-for-19 during his current five-game hitting streak.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: On base four times

    DeJong went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two stolen bases, two RBI and a run during Saturday's 9-8 win over Colorado.

    The 27-year-old delivered a two-RBI single during the opening frame, and he brought home another run via a double during the fifth inning. DeJong has a .193/.292/.404 slash line with seven homers, three doubles, 17 RBI and 19 runs through 32 games in 2021.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Battling back tightness

    Baez left Saturday's game against the Pirates with back tightness, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

    Baez went 1-for-3 at the plate prior to exiting with the injury. It doesn't sound like a particularly serious one, but the shortstop could still find himself on the bench for at least one game. The Cubs have an off day Monday, so he'll wind up with two consecutive days of rest if he sits out Sunday.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Swats third homer

    Swanson went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 12-2 loss to the Phillies.

    He was the only batter to have any real success against Zach Eflin and the Philly bullpen, accounting for Atlanta's only extra-base hits on the night including Swanson's third homer of the year. The shortstop has been feast or famine lately, collecting multiple hits in five of his last 11 games while going 1-for-21 in the other six combined, but his .293/.356/.488 slash line over that stretch is a definite step up from his early season efforts.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Mashes second homer

    Lindor went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

    The shortstop finally seems to be getting comfortable in his new uniform. Lindor's seventh-inning blast off Caleb Smith tied the game at 4-4 and was his first homer this season at Citi Field, and his second of the year. While he only sports a .549 OPS through 27 games, his 16:15 BB:K indicates his All-Star skill set is still intact, and the 27-year-old still has plenty of time to catch fire and put up his usual numbers.

  • Tommy Edman LF | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Scores in win Friday

    Edman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a 5-0 win over the Rockies on Friday.

    Edman singled and later scored in the fifth inning Friday. He also drew the Cardinals' only walk in the game. The leadoff man has reached safely in 14 of his last 15 games. In 146 plate appearances, the 26-year-old is slashing .299/.356/.418 and leads his team with 40 hits.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Not starting Friday

    Crawford isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Crawford has gone 4-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI, four runs, five walks and a stolen base in his last three games. Mauricio Dubon will start at shortstop and bat seventh.
