    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Perfect day at plate

    Betts went 2-for-2 with a double, two walks, two runs scored and a RBI during Thursday's 6-5 win over the Mets.

    Betts shook of an 0-for-4 performance Wednesday by reaching all four times he batted Thursday, including a run-scoring double in the third inning that started a four-run comeback by the Dodgers. That knock snapped a 10-game skid by the 32-year-old without an extra-base hit. The showing brought his OPS up to .751, but he's still well short of the .863 OPS he posted during the 2024 regular season.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Day-to-day with fractured toe

    Lindor is considered day-to-day after being diagnosed with a fractured right pinkie toe, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Lindor suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch in the first inning of Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Dodgers. He wasn't forced out of that game and will attempt to play through the fracture, although he is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest. The Mets will have Luisangel Acuna start at shortstop in the series finale in Los Angeles.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Not in lineup Thursday

    Lindor is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

    As Anthony DiComo of MLB.com notes, Lindor looked to be in considerable pain after being hit in the foot by a pitch in Wednesday's 6-1 win in the top of the first inning, but he ended up staying in the game while finishing the night 0-for-4 with a run. The Mets haven't indicated that Lindor is still hurting a day later, but the veteran shortstop will nonetheless receive just his second day off of the season in any case. Luisangel Acuna will fill in for Lindor at shortstop.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Sitting down Thursday

    Bogaerts (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against San Francisco.

    Bogaerts exited Wednesday's 6-5 loss early after experiencing soreness in his left shoulder -- the same one he fractured last season. Though he'll stay on the bench for Thursday's afternoon contest, the Padres appear to be viewing Bogaerts as day-to-day heading into this weekend's series in Milwaukee. Jose Iglesias will fill in as San Diego's shortstop Thursday and could continue to start if Bogaerts misses any additional games.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Exits with sore shoulder

    Bogaerts was removed from Wednesday's game against the Giants due to left shoulder soreness, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Bogaerts went 0-for-3 during Wednesday's loss before being replaced on defense to start the sixth inning. Manager Mike Shildt didn't comment on the severity of the shortstop's injury after the game, though Jose Iglesias could be in line for some starts if Bogaerts is forced to miss any time.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Resting up Wednesday

    Edwards is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    The Marlins are wrapping up their series against Colorado with a day game after a night game, so Edwards is likely just getting a breather after he recently made his return from the injured list. Since being activated Saturday after he was on the shelf for just under two weeks due to a mid-back strain, Edwards has gone 7-for-13 with a double, a walk, two runs and an RBI in four games.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Homers twice Tuesday

    Turner went 3-for-5 with two homers and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

    Turner kicked off a six-run first inning with a two-run homer off Bowden Francis and later added some insurance with a solo blast in the eighth. This was his eighth game this season with at least three hits and his first with multiple homers. In 14 games since May 19, Turner is hitting .339/.394/.678 with five homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs, six steals and a 5:9 BB:K.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Two hits in return

    Betts (toe) went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mets.

    Betts missed nearly a week while dealing with a fracture on the tip of a toe on his left foot. The 32-year-old returned to his usual spot at shortstop and played all 10 innings, so it looks like he'll be good to go as long as he avoids setbacks. Prior to his absence, he had gone six games without a multi-hit effort. Betts is at a .257/.339/.405 slash line, eight home runs, 31 RBI, 43 runs scored and five stolen bases over 54 contests this season, and it wouldn't be surprising if he took a cautious approach on the basepaths until his toe is 100 percent.

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Ready to go Tuesday

    Betts (toe) is starting at shortstop and batting second Tuesday against the Mets, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Betts has been sidelined nearly a week due to a fracture on the tip of a toe on his left foot, but he's apparently ready to rejoin the lineup after missing four games. The 32-year-old wasn't exactly in his best form leading up to the absence, as he's gone 4-for-25 with three walks in his past six contests.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Out until at least Friday

    Tovar (oblique) isn't expected to return to the Colorado lineup until at least Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Tovar tweaked his left oblique in Monday's 6-4 win over the Marlins and has been ruled out through the Rockies' off day Thursday. The shortstop will continue to be treated and evaluated over the next few days before a decision is made on whether he'll require a trip to the 10-day injured list. Orlando Arcia will fill in at shortstop for the Rockies on Tuesday.
