  • Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Up as 27th man

    The Padres recalled Song from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

    The Padres will be allowed to carry a 27th man on their roster during the Mexico City Series against Arizona, so Song will join the big club to provide extra infield depth. The 29-year-old has slashed .293/.369/.320 with 12 RBI and nine runs scored through 20 Triple-A games and will be making his MLB debut if he gets into a game this weekend.

  • Andrew Abbott SP | CIN

    Reds' Andrew Abbott: Mauled by Tigers in no-decision

    Abbott came away with a no-decision in Friday's 9-8 win over Detroit, coughing up five runs on six hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out four.

    Four of the six hits off the southpaw went for extra bases, including solo shots by Riley Greene in the second inning and Javier Baez in the third. It's the first time this season Abbott has served up multiple homers in the same game, but he's failed to complete five innings in three straight trips to the mound while surrendering a ghastly 16 runs (15 earned) in 11.2 frames over that stretch, He'll carry a 6.59 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 19:13 K:BB through 28.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Rockies.

  • Jose Quintana SP | COL

    Rockies' Jose Quintana: Saturday's start rained out

    Quintana and the Rockies won't play the Mets on Saturday, as the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

    The two sides will play two games Sunday to make up for Saturday's contest, and Quintana will likely get the nod to start one of them. The 37-year-old has had a rough start to the year so far, posting a 6.23 ERA and 1.85 WHIP while turning in a 4:9 K:BB through his first 13 innings (three starts).

  • Ryan Rolison RP | CHC

    Cubs' Ryan Rolison: Earns first 2026 win

    Rolison (1-0) tossed three scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Friday's 6-4 victory over the Dodgers. He allowed two hits and struck out one.

    Rolison entered in the sixth inning with the Cubs down 4-0. The lefty pitched well enough to keep his team in the game, and then picked up his first win with Chicago and second at the MLB level when the Cubs rallied with six runs across the final three frames. This was just the second appearance of the season for Rolison, who was called up from Triple-A Iowa on April 14. He appeared in 31 games for the Rockies last year, posting a 7.02 ERA across 42.1 innings.

  • Kodai Senga RP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Saturday's start postponed

    Senga and the Mets won't face the Rockies on Saturday, as the game was postponed due to rain.

    New York and Colorado will play a doubleheader Sunday to make up for Saturday's contest, and Senga will likely take the mound to start one of the two games. The 33-year-old will be looking to turn things around after giving up 13 earned runs in just 5.2 innings over his last two starts.

  • Brenton Doyle CF | CHW

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Stolen base in return to lineup

    Doyle went 1-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and a stolen base Friday against the Mets.

    Doyle was out of the lineup for Colorado's prior two games, though he returned to start in center field Friday. He played a key role in the team's fifth-inning rally, singling to center before coming around to score. Doyle later swiped his sixth bag of the season, four of which have come in his last 10 games. Despite the strong showing Friday, Doyle is hitting only .219 with two RBI and 11 runs scored across 26 games to begin the campaign.

  • Jake McCarthy LF | COL

    Rockies' Jake McCarthy: Drives in key run

    McCarthy went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI on Friday against the Mets.

    McCarthy split the outfield with a line drive in the sixth inning to drive in a run to give the Rockies the lead. He now has a four-game hitting streak, and he has also maintained a .360 batting average with four RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base across his last 10 games. McCarthy has served as a part-time starter this season, though Friday marked his third consecutive start.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Plays rehab game Friday

    Trevino (back) went 2-for-2 with two runs scored in a rehab game for High-A Dayton on Friday.

    As planned, Trevino caught five innings for the Dragons, which sets up the veteran backstop to rejoin the Reds for Sunday's series finale against Detroit. He's expected to return to a backup role behind primary starter Tyler Stephenson.

  • Matt McLain 2B | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Crushes two HR in win

    McLain went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 9-8 win over the Tigers.

    McLain launched a pair of two-run homers in consecutive plate appearances -- in the fifth and seventh innings -- to bring the Reds back from an early 5-0 deficit. He emerged from an offensive malaise during Cincinnati's recently completed road trip, and McLain brought the offense home to Great American Ball Park on Friday. The second baseman has hit safely in five consecutive games, going 7-for-23 with four extra-base hits and five RBI.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | CLE

    Reds' Nathaniel Lowe: Completes comeback

    Lowe started at designated hitter and went 2-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-8 win over Detroit.

    Balls were flying out Great American Ball Park on Friday as Lowe's pair were two of the eight homers hit by the two teams. His second one was a walk-off job that completed the second of two comebacks by the Reds, who had trailed 5-0 early and were down 8-7 entering the bottom of the ninth inning. Lowe was a late addition to the lineup, replacing Eugenio Suarez, who is bound for the injured list with an oblique injury. That will lead to Lowe getting more run at DH against righties.
