    Mariners' Colt Emerson: Launches first homer

    Emerson left the yard for his first MLB hit, with the top prospect launching a three-run shot in the eighth inning to extend the Mariners' lead. Through two games since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma, the 20-year-old has gone 1-for-6 (.167 average) with a walk. With Brendan Donovan (groin) landing on the injured list, Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said that Emerson will step in as Seattle's everyday third baseman for the foreseeable future, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Belts walk-off blast

    Neto went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Monday in a 2-1 victory versus the Athletics.

    Like every other Angels batter, Neto entered the ninth inning without a hit against A's starter J.T. Ginn. Adam Frazier opened the frame with a single to break up the no-no, and Neto then ended the contest in dramatic fashion with a two-run blast to center field. The long ball was Neto's eighth of the campaign, and he's added seven stolen bases, 31 runs and 22 RBI while slashing .225/.336/.412 through 48 contests.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Nursing bruised thumb

    Adames has been diagnosed with a bruised right thumb, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

    It's not clear whether Adames will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup. The Giants figure to re-evaluate the injury in the morning to determine whether he can take the field for the second game of the series in Arizona.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

They were Volpe's first two swiped bags of the season after making his season debut last Wednesday. Through five games, Volpe is 4-for-13 with a pair of doubles, three RBI, two runs scored, two steals and a 7:4 BB:K. He's started all five games since returning to the lineup.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

  • Kellon Lindsey SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Kellon Lindsey: Activated from IL

    Lindsey (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Lindsey wrapped up a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League in mid-May after starting the season on the shelf due to a shoulder issue. He's been seeing the ball well since being activated from the injured list, as he's gone 6-for-14 with one home run, two RBI and two runs scored in three games with Single-A Ontario.

  • Diamondbacks' Kayson Cunningham: Activated from MiLB IL

    Cunningham (concussion) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

    Cunningham landed on the injured list May 8 after suffering a concussion, but he returned over the weekend for Single-A Fresno. He's 3-for-14 with three RBI, two stolen bases and four runs scored in three games since being activated.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Extends hitting streak with homer

    Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Brewers.

    Swanson clubbed his seventh home run of the season in the fifth inning, which extended his modest hitting streak to three games. Before this recent stretch, the veteran shortstop was batting just .133 in May, and he's still under the .200 mark for the year to go along with a subpar .669 OPS. Swanson will likely be allowed to play his way out of his early-season slump, but fantasy managers may want to consider some other options in shallow formats if his struggles persist for too long.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Takes dry swings

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Lawlar has resumed light baseball activities after a CT scan showed his fractured right wrist is healing well, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    The activities included taking some dry swings, among other things. Lawlar still has plenty of boxes to check before he's cleared for a rehab assignment, but this was an important step in his rehab process. The 23-year-old is already more than six weeks into an initial 6-to-8 week timetable, and it's unlikely he'll be ready to return within that timeframe.
