  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Swipes 10th bag

    Edman went 1-for-3 with a single, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 8-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Edman began the contest with a walk, stole second and subsequently came around to score the game's first run. He later picked up an RBI with a single in the fourth frame. Edman is tied for third in MLB with 10 thefts on the campaign and is contributing a steady .274/.329/.392 slash line across 231 plate appearances.

  • Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA

    Braves' Ehire Adrianza: Set to work in left field

    Manager Brian Snitker said Adrianza is expected to play left field on a daily basis in the absence of Marcell Ozuna (fingers), Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Ozuna is set to be sidelined for at least six weeks with two fractured fingers, and Adrianza will receive first crack at replacing him in left field. The 31-year-old has been working as a utility man and has a .239/.278/.437 slash line with three homers in 80 plate appearances this season, but he'll now take on an everyday role. Johan Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill the utility role for Atlanta.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Back in action as expected

    Anderson (thumb) will return to the lineup as expected Friday against the Orioles, leading off and playing shortstop.

    Anderson missed the last two games due to general soreness, but the White Sox never seemed particularly concerned with the issue. He'd been in a bit of a slump over his last seven games, going 3-for-30 at the plate, but the team will hope he's refreshed and ready to go following the pair of days off.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Shifts to injured list

    Rojas (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The 32-year-old suffered a dislocated left index finger Thursday, and it was only a matter of time before he shifted to the injured list. Rojas is eligible to be activated June 8, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined. Jazz Chisholm (ankle) and Jose Devers should work at shortstop in his absence for Miami.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Rejoins big-league club

    Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

    The 27-year-old was optioned to Triple-A on May 20, but he'll rejoin Atlanta on Friday with Marcell Ozuna (fingers) landing on the injured list. Camargo is 0-for-13 with a walk and five strikeouts in 11 appearances this season.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Swipes two bags in win

    Turner went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in a 5-3 win over the Reds, a game completed Thursday after being suspended due to rain the night before.

    The shortstop is the second player this season to reach double digits in homers and steals, following Fernando Tatis. Turner also collected one of the Nats' only two hits in Thursday's regularly scheduled contest, and he's slashing .327/.364/.495 in May with four homers, five steals, 14 runs and 16 RBI through 24 games.

  • Yu Chang SS | TB

    Indians' Yu Chang: Notches first steal

    Chang went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-2 win over Detroit.

    Chang hasn't seen much playing time lately -- he's played in only 12 games in May. The infielder is slashing a meager .149/.183/.209 with no home runs, six RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base through 71 plate appearances. He started at shortstop Thursday in place of Amed Rosario (hand). With another utilityman in Owen Miller on the big-league roster, Chang's path to playing time has gotten a bit more difficult.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Delivers four hits, four RBI

    Adames went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI Thursday against the Brewers.

    Adames delivered a clutch three-run home run in the seventh inning to put the Brewers ahead. It was his first extra-base hit since being traded to Milwaukee on May 21 and debuting one day later. Adames should remain locked into regular playing time, but he will need to decrease his 33.1 percent strikeout rate to improve his .217/.283/.395 line across 166 plate appearances this season.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Homers in both ends of doubleheader

    Bichette went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Yankees in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

    Bichette played long ball in the matinee and followed up with another homer in the nightcap, his 11th this season. His batting average could use some work (.272), but Bichette is on a 30-homer pace and he's running more than he did his first couple years in the majors. He's a fantasy star with superstar upside.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Cranks home run

    Bichette went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 2-0 win over the Yankees in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader.

    Bichette followed up Marcus Semien's two-out home run in the third inning with a long shot of his own to increase the Blue Jays' lead to two runs. It was Bichette's 10th homer of the season. The 23-year-old did not strike out for the first time in eight games. He is slashing .274/.319/.498 in 214 plate appearances. Much like Semien, Bichette is a dual power-speed threat, adding seven steals on the season.
