  • Michael Harris CF | ATL

    Braves' Michael Harris: Belts first homer since Opening Day

    Harris went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Atlanta's 11-5 win over Cleveland on Friday.

    Harris put the exclamation point on Atlanta's six-run sixth inning by taking Matt Festa deep to right-center field for a two-run homer. It was Harris' third multi-hit game of the season and his first home run since Opening Day against the Royals on March 27. He has gone 12-for-51 (.235) with seven RBI and one steal to open the 2026 regular season.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Rallies Atlanta with solo shot

    Acuna went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI single during Atlanta's 11-5 win over Cleveland on Friday.

    Acuna put Atlanta on the board with an RBI single in the third before kick-starting the team's six-run sixth inning with a solo homer off Slade Cecconi. It was Acuna's first home run of the season and first RBI since April 2 against the Diamondbacks. He has logged three multi-hit games over his last five outings and has gone 7-for-23 (.304) over that span.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Belts two-run homer Friday

    Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, one walk and an additional run scored during Atlanta's 11-5 win over Cleveland on Friday.

    Olson powered Atlanta's six-run rally in the sixth inning, taking Slade Cecconi deep to right field for a two-run homer to put his team up 4-2. Olson has smacked a two-run home run in back-to-back games and is up to four long balls on the season. He has reached base safely in each of his last 11 games, and over that span, Olson has gone 12-for-42 (.286) with four homers, 10 RBI, eight walks and 10 runs scored.

  • Bryce Elder SP | ATL

    Braves' Bryce Elder: No-decision vs. Cleveland

    Elder did not factor into Friday's decision against the Guardians, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three across 4.2 innings.

    Elder kept the Guardians off the board through the first three frames before yielding a run in both the fourth and fifth. He was one out away from being in line for the decision but was pulled despite punching out Jose Ramirez in a bases-loaded situation. Even so, Elder is off to a solid start to the season with just two earned runs through three starts (17.2 innings). His next start is projected for next week at home against the Marlins.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Dealing with bruised shin

    Winn was diagnosed with a lower-leg contusion after getting hit by a pitch in Friday's game versus Boston, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Winn ran for himself and played an inning of defense after getting hit by a pitch in the third inning but was eventually pulled in the fifth. The Cardinals are officially labeling his injury as a contusion, however, which suggests he escaped the incident without suffering any structural damage. If the team decides to sit him down for a day or two as a precaution, Thomas Saggese and Jose Fermin would be candidates to see time at shortstop.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Exits after HBP

    Winn was removed from Friday's game against the Red Sox after getting hit on the knee by a pitch, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Winn drew a walk in his first plate appearance before taking an 84-mph sweeper off his knee in the third inning. He was initially able to remain in the game but was eventually pulled when St. Louis took the field in the fifth. The Cardinals will likely send him in for X-rays to determine whether he suffered a fracture.

  • Padres' Jeremiah Estrada: Placed on injured list

    The Padres placed Estrada on the 15-day injured list Friday with right elbow tendinitis.

    After logging five straight shutout appearances, Estrada gave up two earned runs on two hits and two walks over 1.1 innings during his outing Thursday. He had been working as a setup man in front of closer Mason Miller, but Jason Adam will presumably take over in that role after being activated from the IL in a corresponding move.

  • Jason Adam RP | SD

    Padres' Jason Adam: Returns from IL

    The Padres reinstated Adam (quadriceps) from the injured list Friday.

    Adam began the season on a rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso while finishing up his recovery from offseason quad surgery. He made four appearances in the minors, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out one batter across five shutout innings. The 34-year-old righty has turned in a sub-2.00 ERA in each of the past two seasons but will work mostly in a setup role in front of closer Mason Miller. Jeremiah Estrada (elbow) was placed on the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.

  • Clay Holmes RP | NYM

    Mets' Clay Holmes: Exits start with trainer

    Holmes was removed from his start Friday against the Athletics with left hamstring tightness, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

    Holmes had been pitching well Friday, allowing just one earned run on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 5.1 innings, but the Mets' trainers saw something they didn't like and made the call to pull the 33-year-old. More details on his injury will likely come after the team takes a closer look at him.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Exits early Friday

    Moreno was removed from Friday's game against the Phillies due to lower-back tightness.

    The severity of Moreno's injury remains unknown, but the Diamondbacks may have more information after Friday's contest. James McCann replaced the 26-year-old behind the dish and would be in line to start at catcher if Moreno is forced to miss time.
