    Rangers' Corey Seager: Sitting Saturday

    Seager is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Nationals on Saturday.

    Seager is in the midst of a slump, having gone 0-for-18 with three walks and eight strikeouts over his last five games. He'll begin Saturday's contest in the dugout while Ezequiel Duran starts at shortstop and bats ninth.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Returning to lineup

    Correa (back) is starting at shortstop and batting third against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

    Correa will return to Minnesota's lineup following a three-game absence due to back tightness. The 31-year-old shortstop has slashed .275/.318/.463 with four home runs and 11 RBI in 85 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Big day from top of order

    Turner went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates.

    The Phillies managed only seven hits in total on the night, with Turner being the only one to record multiple knocks. The All-Star shortstop has banged out five extra-base hits (three doubles, two homers) over the last five games, and over the last 20 contests he's slashing .318/.359/.600 with five long balls, seven steals, 16 RBI and 18 runs.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Three hits, two RBI in win

    Wilson went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.

    Wilson dealt with a neck issue that kept him out of action Tuesday, but he's gone 8-for-13 over three games since returning to the lineup. It's part of a larger surge that has seen the shortstop log 11 multi-hit efforts over his last 17 games, batting .463 (31-for-67) in that stretch. He's up to a .369/.407/.527 slash line over 61 contests this season, which shows he's had no trouble adjusting to the majors in his first full big-league campaign.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Two-run double as pinch hitter

    Lindor (toe) went 1-for-1 with a two-run double in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.

    Lindor was held out of the Mets' starting lineup due to a broken right pinkie toe, but he was brought in as a pinch hitter for the ninth inning with the game tied 2-2. He didn't waste time making his presence felt, as he smacked the second pitch of the at-bat to right field to bring home Pete Alonso and Juan Soto before being replaced by Luisangel Acuna to run the bases. Despite the injury, Lindor could be back in the lineup at some point during the weekend series, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Swipes bag Friday

    Neto went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and one RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

    Neto got on base on an error in the first inning but was caught stealing. He then delivered an RBI single in the third and swiped second, logging his first successful steal since May 21. The shortstop has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, going 10-for-44 (.227) in that span. He's providing well-rounded production overall, batting .270 with an .818 OPS, 10 home runs, nine steals on 12 attempts, 24 RBI and 34 runs scored over 44 contests.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Another multi-hit game

    Betts went 3-for-4 with a double in Friday's 5-0 loss to the Cardinals.

    Betts recorded three hits for the fourth time this season, but he wasn't able to cross home plate as the Dodgers were blanked for the fourth time this season. Betts was diagnosed with a fractured toe Monday, but he has gone 7-for-14 with three runs scored and one RBI since.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Extends hit streak to 10 games

    Bichette went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in Friday's 6-4 win over the Twins.

    Bichette struck out in his first two plate appearances, but he got the better of Bailey Ober in the fifth, when his single to center field brought Ernie Clement and Andres Gimenez home. That single extended Bichette's hitting streak to 10 games, and over that span he has gone 13-for-40 (.325) with four home runs and 12 RBI.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Imaging comes back clean

    X-rays and a CT scan on Volpe's left elbow came back negative after he was pulled from Friday's game against Boston, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Volpe took a pitch off his elbow during the second inning, though it doesn't seem like he suffered any structural damage as a result. The Yankees may elect to give him a day or two off to recover, but a trip to the IL likely won't be necessary.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Suffers bruised elbow

    Volpe was removed from Friday's game against the Red Sox with a left elbow contusion.

    Volpe took an 89-mph changeup off his elbow in the second inning of Friday's contest. He remained in the game initially but was eventually replaced in the fourth. The Yankees are still awaiting the results of imaging on Volpe's elbow.
