Owings (hamstring) hit a triple and scored a run in his only at-bat as a pinch hitter in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Giants.

The 29-year-old entered the game in the ninth inning for pitcher Jordan Sheffield and hit a triple before coming around to score on Garrett Hampson's sacrifice fly for the Rockies' lone run of the game. The hamstring isn't expected to keep Owings out of the starting lineup for long. He'll be welcomed back, as he has a .533/.588/1.133 slash line across 17 plate appearances. He's produced six runs scored, three RBI, two stolen bases, three triples and three doubles.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Friday's 10-5 win over the Yankees.

Adames started the Rays' scoring parade with an RBI double in the second inning before capping off the big win with a solo shot in the seventh. After a brutal 4-for-19 start, the 25-year-old shortstop doubled his extra-base hit total and raised his season OPS to .813.

Adrianza (personal) was reinstated from the restricted list prior to Friday's game against the Phillies.

He missed a week while going through COVID-19 protocols and attending to a personal matter. Adrianza is not in the lineup Friday and should resume a bench role going forward.

Camargo was optioned to the alternate site Friday.

Ehire Adrianza was reinstated from the restricted list, so Camargo's services as a bench infielder were no longer needed. He will provide depth throughout the campaign.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a triple in a win over the Brewers on Thursday.

The 25-year-old extended his hitting streak to five games with the three-bagger, his first of the season after lacing eight over his first two big-league campaigns. Edman has been a hit in the leadoff spot thus far, posting a .344 on-base percentage and stealing a pair of bases over his first 32 plate appearances.

Mateo has gone 4-for-13 to start the season while earning starts in both left and center field.

Mateo has been a beneficiary of Trent Grisham's (hamstring) absence, as he's gotten plenty of work as the Padres' fourth outfielder to begin the season. He's done well with the opportunity, clubbing two extra-base hits. However, Grisham is expected to be activated from the injured list Friday, which is sure to diminish Mateo's role.

Correa went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo homer, a walk and two RBI during Thursday's victory over the Athletics.

He smashed a solo shot in the second inning off Cole Irvin, then knocked in teammate Yordan Alvarez with a two-bagger in the fourth. The 26-year-old is coming off a rough 2020 season, but he's off to a good start this year, having racked up five extra-base hits already.

Fletcher went 2-for-6 with three RBI in in Thursday's win over the Blue Jays.

The 26-year old knocked in a pair of go-ahead runs with a single in extra innings. Fletcher looks to pick up on where he left off the past couple of seasons and can prove to be a reliable leadoff hitter for an explosive Angels offense, as he slashed .319/.376/.425 in 2020.

Baez went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and a steal in Thursday's win over the Pirates.

Baez hit his second home run of the young season in the sixth inning against Pittsburgh starter Tyler Anderson. The shortstop is still slashing just .200/.259/.440 through seven games, but he's shown the ability to get hot in a hurry, so this long ball could be just the spark he needs. He's also swiped three bags already, matching his total from all of last season.

Story went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, two RBI and a run scored during Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Story was red hot at the plate in this one, cranking an RBI double in the first inning, then an RBI triple in the second, both against Merrill Kelly. Despite a somewhat slow start to the season, Story still ranks among the top stat producers in the game, so look for him to elevate his current .226/.250/.355 batting line to his career norms sooner than later.
