MLB Player News

Anderson (illness) isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson missed Friday's game as a result of an illness, and he is seemingly still under the weather ahead of Saturday's contest. Vidal Brujan will once again start at shortstop and bat ninth while Anderson recovers.

Betts went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run in Friday's extra-innings loss to the Padres.

Betts made the most of his only hit in the contest, smashing a 409-foot blast in the second inning to plate three runs. The long ball pushed Betts back into a tie for the major-league lead with six on the campaign. He's also tied for seventh in MLB with 14 RBI and leads the league with 20 runs scored and 16 walks.

Kim went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against the Dodgers in Friday's 8-7 extra-innings victory.

Kim hit one of four long balls for San Diego in the victory, taking Yoshinobu Yamamoto deep in the second inning. The long ball was his second of the campaign and sixth extra-base hit overall -- he also has two doubles and two triples. Kim has a modest .217/.284/.417 slash line through 67 plate appearances, but he has provided decent production with nine runs, eight RBI and four stolen bases.

Holliday is out of the lineup Saturday against the Brewers.

In his first game against a lefty (DL Hall), Holliday finds himself on the bench to begin the game. Jorge Mateo gets the start at second base, hitting ninth.

Gonzalez was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left wrist sprain, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Fortunately, Gonzalez avoided a fracture, but he'll still be out until at least April 21 due to the injury. Cooper Criswell, who is starting Saturday's game against the Angels, was recalled in a corresponding move. The Red Sox may have to slide Ceddanne Rafaela to second base against lefties and Pablo Reyes to shortstop, unless they are willing to play David Hamilton against same-handed pitchers.

Bichette went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Rockies.

A couple games after launching his first homer of 2024, Bichette nabbed his first steal. The shortstop has hit safely in six straight games, batting .304 (7-for-23) during that stretch with a 3:5 BB:K and three doubles in addition to Tuesday's long ball.

Arcia went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the Marlins.

it's the fourth time already this season that Arcia has collected three hits in a game. The shortstop is slashing .383/.431/.532 through 12 games, and while he's still looking for his first homer or steal of 2024, he has banged seven doubles while adding three RBI and seven runs scored.

Grissom (groin/hamstring) went 0-for-3 as the designated hitter for Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

Grissom kicked off a rehab assignment with the WooSox, serving as the DH for seven innings. The organization will want to see him play the field for a full nine innings and on back-to-back days before activating him from the 10-day injured list. He may not be the answer for Boston's shoddy infield defense, which has been on display since the team returned home following a successful season-opening road trip, but Grissom is expected to be an everyday member of the lineup once healthy.

Hamilton went 0-for-3 and committed an error in Friday's 7-0 loss to the Angels.

After making an immediate splash in his first game up from the minors -- Hamilton homered in his first at-bat -- the infielder's made errors in two straight games that have led to unearned runs. He was not the only player with defensive miscues, and Red Sox manager Alex Cora doesn't have many options at shortstop, so he needs Hamilton to improve. Romy Gonzalez (wrist) is battling an injury, and the manager has said in the past that Pablo Reyes is not considered an everyday player.

The Twins placed Correa on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right oblique strain.

Correa suffered the injury during an at-bat in the third inning of Friday's loss, and it will officially cost him at least 10 days. The team is still awaiting the results of his MRI and will establish a timeline once they come back. Willi Castro will take over as Minnesota's primary shortstop while Correa recovers, opening the door for Kyle Farmer and Jose Miranda to see more action at the hot corner.
