Meidroth went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Saturday against the Royals.

Meidroth began the season relatively well, hitting .270 with three doubles and five runs across 10 games. However, he's gone just 1-for-16 in his last four starts, striking out seven times in that span. Meidroth has an elevated 25.4 percent strikeout rate through 59 plate appearances this season and is hitting only .208.

The White Sox are expected to select Antonacci's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Elijah Evans of JustBaseball.com reports.

Antonacci has blazed through the minors since being drafted in 2024, and in 12 games with Charlotte this season he's slashing .299/.445/.419 with two home runs, six RBI and four stolen bases. Power isn't expected to be a primary asset -- he went deep just five times over 520 plate appearances across three levels in 2025 -- but he has a potentially elite hit tool and plenty of speed, racking up 48 thefts in 58 attempts in the minors last season. He was strictly an infielder last season, but he's played mostly in left field in 2026 and could see ample time at that position with the White Sox, especially since Austin Hays (hamstring) recently landed on the injured list.

Pena was pulled from Saturday's contest against Seattle due to right posterior knee tightness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Pena got two plate appearances in the contest, going 1-for-3. Following his single in the fourth inning, he advanced to second on a flyout and to third on an Isaac Paredes single. Following the Paredes hit, Pena exited and was replaced by pinch runner Nick Allen, who subsequently took over at shortstop. The severity of the injury isn't clear, and Pena should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Jackson went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Giants.

Jackson drove in a run with a double in the fourth inning before launching his first homer of the season in the seventh. The 26-year-old has now drawn 10 starts this season and has hit safely in seven of them. Overall, he's gone 10-for-36 with six RBI and two runs scored while posting a 0:9 BB:K.

Martinez went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-0 win over Atlanta.

Martinez caught fire from the sixth inning on, finishing with two hits, two runs scored and a stolen base. The 24-year-old has been red hot, posting four straight multi-hit games and swiping a bag in three consecutive contests. On the season, he's slashing .342/.419/.500 across 44 plate appearances with one home run, six RBI, seven runs scored and four steals.

Lux (shoulder) was removed from Saturday's rehab appearance with Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lux hit a grounder to second in the fifth inning and appeared to get injured while running to first base. He exited with a trainer, but it's not immediately clear what issue he's dealing with. Lux has been recovering from a right shoulder impingement and had been nearing the end of a rehab assignment, as Saturday marked his eighth appearance with the Triple-A club.

De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with a walk, two steals, two doubles and a run scored during the Reds' 7-3 win over the Angels on Saturday.

De La Cruz was active on the bases during Saturday's win, stealing second base in both the first and seventh innings. It was his first multi-steal game of the year and fifth since the start of the 2025 regular season. De La Cruz is up to five steals in 2026, which is tied for fifth most in the majors. He is slashing .271/.358/.525 with four home runs and seven RBI in 67 plate appearances.

Lee went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run during the Twins' 7-4 win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Lee's solo home run off Eric Lauer in the third inning kick-started the Twins' seven-run frame. Lee has gone deep in back-to-back games and has accrued four RBI over his last three contests. In nine outings since April 1, he has gone 8-for-29 (.276) with six RBI and three runs scored.

Bogaerts isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

Bogaerts' 0-for-4 performance in Friday's game snapped what had been a five-game hitting streak, during which he went 9-for-22 (.409) with a pair of homers, five RBI and four runs scored. In his absence, Jake Cronenworth will start at shortstop while Fernando Tatis makes his first career start at second base and Nick Castellanos covers right field.

The Tigers transferred Sweeney (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

The move corresponds with the Tigers claiming Grant Holman off waivers from the Dodgers. Sweeney opened the regular season on the 10-day IL due to a right shoulder strain. He was given a PRP injection Thursday, but it appears that he is not progressing in his recovery as anticipated. Now that he's on the 60-day IL, the earliest Sweeney can make his 2026 regular-season debut is late May.
