  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Chance to return Sunday

    White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters that Anderson (shoulder) has a chance to return to the lineup for Sunday's contest versus the Mariners, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    "Tim, his shoulder got a little sore, I think he did it pregame out there stretching, throwing and he toughed it out for three innings," Grifol said. "It's cold out here. He toughed it out and the evaluations were good. He's day to day and we'll see how he wakes up tomorrow." Anderson exited the contest with shoulder soreness in the fourth inning, and while the White Sox will take the necessary precautions with the infielder, it does sound like he's avoided a serious injury.

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Exits with sore shoulder

    Anderson left Saturday's game against the Mariners with right shoulder soreness.

    Anderson went 0-for-1 with a walk before being replaced by Zach Remillard in the middle of the fourth inning. The former's day was already going poorly prior to the injury, as he was doubled off first base on a foulout when he didn't appear to realize the ball was in play. He's merely considered day-to-day for now.

  • Pablo Reyes RF | SD

    Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Out of lineup

    Reyes will sit Saturday against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Reyes hits the bench after starting three straight games at shortstop. He's batting over .300 this season but hasn't done much else, as his .305/.333/.373 line is good for a subpar 90 wRC+. Enrique Hernandez returns to shortstop Saturday.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Extends hit streak to seven games

    Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in a loss to Tampa Bay on Friday.

    Bogaerts' eighth-inning double not only gave the Padres their second run, it also extended his hitting streak to seven games. During that stretch, he's slashing .400/.467/.560 with four doubles, five runs, three RBI and two stolen bases. Bogaerts is a perfect 8-for-8 in steal attempts on the season. The last time he swiped more than eight bags in a campaign was 2017, when he stole 15 in 16 tries.

  • Kevin Smith DH | NYY

    Athletics' Kevin Smith: Lands on injured list

    Smith was placed on the 10-day injured list with a back strain Saturday.

    Smith was scratched from the lineup Friday due to back issues, and he's evidently dealing with an injury serious enough to knock him out for at least 10 days. He'd only managed a .191/.216/.330 line in 102 trips to the plate prior to the injury, so his absence is unlikely to be a big blow to Oaklands' fortunes. Tyler Wade was called up to take his place on the roster, but it's Aledmys Diaz who gets the start at shortstop Saturday against the Phillies.

  • Jon Berti 3B | CHC

    Marlins' Jon Berti: Sitting Saturday

    Berti isn't in the Marlins' lineup Saturday against the Nationals.

    Currently in the middle of a mini three-game hitting streak, Berti will get a breather Saturday. While Berti rests, Garrett Hampson will start at third base and bat ninth.

  • Pirates' Tucupita Marcano: Out against lefty

    Marcano isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against Milwaukee, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Wade Miley will start Saturday for the Brewers, so the lefty-hitting Marcano will retreat to the bench to begin the game. Rodolfo Castro will take over for Marcano at shortstop and bat sixth.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Gets breather Saturday

    Lindor isn't in the Mets' lineup Saturday against the Cardinals.

    Lindor will enjoy his first off day of the season Saturday after recording just one hit in his last five games. Luis Guillorme will take over at shortstop in Lindor's place and bat ninth.

  • Jacob Amaya SS | ARI

    Marlins' Jacob Amaya: Promoted to big leagues

    Amaya was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville by the Marlins on Saturday.

    Amaya has put together a solid season in Triple-A this year, slashing .277/.344/.469 with nine homers and 35 RBI through 241 plate appearances. Jean Segura (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move, meaning Amaya might see regular reps at shortstop while Joey Wendle shifts to third base -- a temporary change that could become permanent if Amaya holds his own.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Blasts home run Friday

    Baez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Twins.

    Baez tripled and drove in two Thursday night, then followed it up with another strong performance. The shortstop is riding a six-game hitting streak overall and now has his season OPS up to .614. That's still well below Baez's normal standard, but the recent stretch is at least a step in the right direction.
