Tovar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Saturday against the Mets.

Tovar got the Rockies going offensively, popping a home run in the opening inning. It was his third long ball of the season but first since May 19. In that span, Tovar has hit a solid .273 with four RBI and seven runs scored across 12 games.

Montgomery is considered day-to-day due to knee soreness, MLB.com reports.

Montgomery was hit by a pitch in the knee Friday and was held out of the lineup Saturday. X-rays came back clean, so it is not anticipated that he'll be out for the long term. Montgomery has shown improved form since re-joining Triple-A Charlotte on May 13, maintaining a .275/.373/.510 line across 51 at-bats.

Crawford went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Twins.

Crawford has gone 5-for-8 with two walks over the first two games of this weekend series versus the Twins. His seventh-inning blast Saturday gave the Mariners their first lead of the contest, and it was his first homer since May 16 versus the Padres. The shortstop is at a .267/.386/.377 slash line with five homers, 22 RBI, 27 runs scored, two stolen bases and six doubles over 55 games this season. Crawford continues to regularly hit out of the leadoff spot, where his on-base skills have been valuable despite a relative lack of speed.

Pena went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in a loss to the Rays on Saturday.

Pena kept Houston close early, with his second home run off Zack Littell tying the game 3-3 in the third inning. However, the Rays went on to score the next 13 runs, and Pena was subbed out after logging just one more plate appearance. The multi-homer game was the second of Pena's career, and he's up to nine long balls and 30 RBI through 58 games this season after posting 15 homers and 70 RBI over 157 regular-season contests last year.

Mateo went 1-for-1 with two walks, a two-run home run and two stolen bases in Saturday's 4-2 win over the White Sox.

Getting the start in center field and batting ninth, Mateo looked like he might be the latest Baltimore outfielder to land on the injured list when he appeared to hurt his arm in a collision with Heston Kjerstad in the eighth inning. Mateo stayed in the game, however, and proved he was OK by swiping his second bag of the game in the bottom of the frame. That capped a huge performance from the utility player that included his first long ball of the campaign, a fifth-inning shot off Davis Martin, and his first game with multiple walks in over a year. Mateo has started five of the Orioles' last nine games -- three in center field, one in left and one at shortstop -- and he's gone 5-for-17 (.294) over that stretch with seven of his 14 stolen bases on the season.

Arias went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a two-run double in Friday's 7-5 win over the Angels.

With the game tied 5-5, Arias gave the Guardians their first and only lead in the seventh inning, when his double to center field brought Bo Naylor and Daniel Schneemann home. Saturday was Arias' 11th multi-hit performance and ninth game with multiple RBIs this season. The 25-year-old shortstop is slashing .242/.303/.368 with two steals, four home runs and 24 RBI in 202 plate appearances this season.

The Mariners selected Young's contract from Triple-A Tacoma, and he will start at second base and bat eighth against the Twins on Saturday.

Young is set to make his major-league debut after a strong start to the season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .278/.391/.463 with four steals, five home runs and 26 RBI in 245 plate appearances. With J.P. Crawford cemented as the Mariners' starting shortstop, Young will compete with Dylan Moore and Miles Mastrobuoni for regular playing time at the keystone.

Walls is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Walls will begin Saturday's contest on the bench while Jose Caballero starts at shortstop and bats in the leadoff spot. Walls has slashed .228/.313/.263 with three steals and four RBI in 67 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

The Rockies designated Schunk for assignment Saturday.

The move corresponds with the Rockies selecting Keston Hiura's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque while optioning Michael Toglia to Triple-A. Schunk saw regular work with the Rockies in late April before landing on the 10-day injured list due to a groin injury. He made 11 major-league appearances for Colorado and went 6-for-28 with one double and a 27.6 percent strikeout rate over that span.

The Marlins reinstated Edwards (back) from the injured list Saturday.

Edwards won't be in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Francisco, but he is now fully healthy after sitting out since May 14 with a strained back. After a successful 2024 campaign, the 25-year-old has regressed a bit this year, slashing .263/.337/.292 through 194 plate appearances.
