Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a 6-2 loss against the Rangers on Saturday.

His three thefts over his past two games have pushed him to 21 stolen bases for the season. That leads all of baseball, and it's not close, as Mondesi has a six-bag lead on Tim Anderson. Mondesi is also hitting .287 with six home runs, 42 RBI and 24 runs in 230 at-bats this season.

Arcia went 2-for-6 with two home runs, four RBI, three runs and a walk during a 12-10 extra-innings victory against the Pirates on Saturday.

The Brewers shortstop helped Milwaukee take a five-run lead in the first three innings with his first two-run shot. Then in the 13th, he went deep again. This was Arcia's first two-homer game of the season, and actually, he only had two long balls in the entire month of May. Clearly, he's off to a strong start in June. Arcia is batting .264 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 26 runs and two steals in 197 at-bats this year.

Gordon (wrist) took swings in the batting cage Friday and will likely progress to batting practice in the next few days, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Gordon continues to make steady progress in his recovery from a deep bone bruise in his right wrist. The veteran speedster is already back to participating in fielding work as well, and he may eventually be deemed ready for activation without the need for a rehab assignment if he continues to remain free of setbacks.

Swanson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Tigers.

Swanson collected his first RBI on a fielder's choice in the fifth inning before belting the homer in the seventh. The 25-year-old has a .258/.312/.474 slash line with 11 home runs and 38 RBI this season.

Baez was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals with a bruised right heel, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Baez's heel issues date back nearly two weeks to when he was forced to exit a game May 19 after making a defensive play. He missed the next two games but had since been in the lineup for nine straight contests prior to Saturday's scratch. Addison Russell will replace him at shortstop.

Adames, who went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Twins on Friday, hit .284 (25-for-88) with five doubles, three home runs, nine RBI, 10 walks, Friday's steal and 11 runs during May.

Adames finished April with an ugly .200/.265/.300 line, but he started to boost those numbers as soon as the calendar flipped. The young shortstop ultimately netted a 42-point increase in his average during May and also upped his on-base and slugging percentages considerably. With nine doubles, Adames has already exceeded the seven doubles he slugged in 35 additional games last season, and he also laced the first three-bagger of his career during the current campaign.

Herrera went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Padres.

For the second time this week, Herrera entered the game as a pinch hitter and went yard, this time stepping to the plate for Caleb Smith in the sixth inning and spoiling a potential shutout bid for San Diego pitcher Joey Lucchesi. Those are his only two homers of the year, however, and Herrera's .222/.293/.344 slash line will likely keep him in a bench role.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a two run homer in Friday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

Seager's two-run blast was enough to put the Dodgers ahead for good, capping a three-run fifth inning. It's the shortstop's seventh homer of the year, but also his third in the last six games. Seager has 36 runs and 29 RBI in 56 games this season.

Story went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, two home runs, four runs scored and seven RBI in Friday's 13-6 rout of the Blue Jays.

A pair of two-run homers and a bases-loaded double accounted for the damage as Story set a new career single-game high in RBI. The shortstop closes the books on May slashing .309/.382/.609 through 26 games with eight homers and 23 RBI, and he's banged out at least three hits in each of the last three contests.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the White Sox.

Lindor got the Indians on the board in the first inning with a solo blast to right field, his eighth home run of the season. The 25-year-old is slashing .282/.357/.477 with 20 RBI and six stolen bases over 38 games in 2019.
