MLB Player News

Rojas exited Sunday's game against the Braves early after being hit by a pitch on his hand, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Rojas was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning and was replaced at first base entering the eighth frame. The specifics of his hand injury have not been revealed, but that information should become available shortly.

Arcia is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

After hitting a respectable .277 during his first full season in the majors in 2017, Arcia is currently slashing an abysmal .217/.262/.296 through his first 35 games this year. He continues to display plus defense at shortstop, but the Brewers are surely frustrated by his overall lack of production at the plate. He'll get the day off with Tyler Saladino taking over at short.

After batting leadoff Saturday, Baez is batting fifth and starting at second base in Sunday's series finale against the White Sox.

Baez did well as the leadoff hitter, going 2-for-5 with two runs scored, but manager Joe Maddon will mix things up Sunday, getting Ben Zobrist back in there atop the order. Baez has hit no matter where he's been placed in the lineup, as he comes into Sunday's game with a .283/.320/.623 slash line and 10 home runs.

Story went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's win over the Brewers.

He accounted for all of the scoring in this one with three extra-base hits off Brewers starter Brent Suter. Story is now up to 10 home runs and ranks third in the National League with 32 RBI, behind Javier Baez and A.J. Pollock. The 25-year-old has also already matched last year's stolen-base total with seven. While the strikeouts remain high, Story is more than making up for the batting-average drain with what he's doing in the counting stats.

Seager (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Saturday.

The move has no effect on Seager's timeline, as he's already out for the year after undergoing Tommy John surgery. By clearing a spot on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers were able to select the contract of reliever Pat Venditte.

Arcia went 2-for-3 with two RBI, a run, a stolen base and two walks in Friday's victory over the Rockies.

Arcia got on base just three times in the six games prior to Friday's, but he was able to better that number in just one night, reaching first base four times for the first time this season. Arcia owns just a .577 OPS for the season, but he has been far better so far in May, hitting .333/.400/.370 in 30 plate appearances over nine games.

Baez will bat atop the order and play third base versus the White Sox on Saturday.

Baez will lead off for the the first time this season and the seventh time in his career. He marks the sixth different player to serve out of the top spot for the Cubs over the first seven weeks of the year. Over 34 games, he's slashing .278/.317/.617 with 10 home runs and 34 RBI.

Story went 1-for-4 with a triple and four RBI in Friday's extra-inning loss to the Brewers.

It was Story's third triple on the season, as well as his 17th extra-base hit. While Story's .223 batting average is a bit low, his eight home runs and 28 RBI both fall within the top five among MLB shortstops. It also bears mentioning that he's 7-for-7 in stolen-base attempts.

DeJong went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and four RBI to help the Cardinals to a 9-5 victory over the Padres on Friday.

DeJong was in a slump to start the month of May but he seems to have snapped out of it as he now has multi-hit efforts in three of his past four games including his eighth homer of the year on Friday. The recent hot streak has pumped his average back up to .263 and his OPS to .834, so he'll look to keep riding that momentum as he looks to replicate his fantastic offensive showing from last year that saw him OPS .857 over 417 at-bats.

Camargo went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Marlins.

Hitting eighth in front of the pitcher resulted in Camargo getting pitched around, but he was able to capitalize when he did see offerings in the strike zone. The 24-year-old had gone 2-for-21 (.095) over his prior seven contests, but walks have helped keep his OBP afloat -- he now has a .220/.360/.463 slash line on the season with two homers, nine RBI and seven runs in 16 games.
