  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Launches two-run shot

    Adames went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Mets.

    Adames extended his hitting streak to three games and has reached base at least twice in all three of those contests. He's leaving behind a woeful stretch between May 1 and May 12 during which he hit only .206 across 34 at-bats. He also launched his fifth homer of the campaign, and the power display has been noticeable of late. He has connected on three of his five home runs during the current month.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Records three hits, steals base

    Anderson went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Royals.

    Anderson made his presence felt at the top of the White Sox's lineup once again. He delivered a complete effort, stealing his seventh base of the campaign and posting a multi-hit game for the sixth time during his ongoing 11-game hitting streak. The star shortstop is hitting .382 during that 11-game stretch.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Out at least four weeks

    Seager won't require surgery but will miss at least four weeks after fracturing the fifth metacarpal on his right hand, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    The 27-year-old is sporting a splint on his right hand after being hit by a pitch Saturday, and he's now on the injured list for the foreseeable future. Gavin Lux is expected to see the bulk of the time at shortstop in Seager's absence, with Chris Taylor also in the mix.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Day off Sunday

    Rojas is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Rojas started the last five games and will take a seat after going 6-for-21 with three doubles, two RBI and five runs during that stretch. Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) is back from the injured list and starting at shortstop Sunday while Isan Diaz remains at second base.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: On base thrice in win

    Adames went 1-for-3 with a two-run double, two walks and two runs in a win over the Mets on Saturday.

    It was an extremely rare taste of offensive success for Adames, who's slashing just .187/.237/.341 even when factoring in Saturday's productive day. The 25-year-old has shown some signs of life at the plate over the last 10 games by hitting .242 with two doubles, two home runs, six RBI and six runs during that span, but he's also struck out at a mammoth 48.6 percent clip in the sample.

  • David Fletcher 2B | ATL

    Angels' David Fletcher: Nursing groin injury

    Fletcher will not be in the lineup Sunday as a result of a groin injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    It's the same groin issue that Fletcher came down with in Houston earlier this week. He has been trying to play through it, but Fletcher is 0-for-his-last-17. Jose Rojas will lead off in the finale in Boston, followed in the order by Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Strikes homer in win

    Correa went 2-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over Texas.

    Correa knocked an opposite-field blast to cap a four-run first inning and is coming back from a slump that began when the calendar flipped to May. The slugging shortstop is 6-for-13 with two RBI and seven runs scored and has reached base safely 11 times over the last four games. He and Kyle Tucker, who bats seventh behind Correa, have authored turnarounds this month, making the order deeper.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Power surge continues

    Crawford went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Pirates.

    The veteran shortstop remains red hot in May. Crawford has slugged five of his nine homers on the year in the last 10 games, slashing .345/.459/.862 during that stretch with 11 RBI, and he's already gone yard more often through 33 games in 2021 than he did in 54 games last season.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: X-rays show broken hand

    Seager suffered a broken right hand in Saturday's win over the Dodgers, ESPN reports. X-rays after the game revealed the fracture.

    The 27-year-old was removed from Saturday's contest after being struck on the right hand by a pitch. He's expected to be placed on the injured list Sunday.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: IL stint anticipated

    Manager Dave Roberts expects Seager (hand) to be placed on the injured list Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    The 27-year-old was removed from Saturday's contest after being struck on the right hand by a pitch, and he's dealing with some pain and swelling. Seager will undergo medical imaging to determine the severity of the injury, but it's safe to rule him out indefinitely with a trip to the injured list on the horizon.
