Rockies' Victor Vodnik: Throwing from 90 feet
Vodnik (shoulder) is throwing from 90 feet, MLB.com reports.
Vodnik resumed throwing in late April, but he has progressed slowly since. He was previously expected to return at some point in early May, but his timeline is now unclear.

Matt McLain 2B | CIN
Reds' Matt McLain: Swipes ninth bag
McLain went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.
Soon after McLain's return from the injured list in mid-April, his average plummeted below the Mendoza Line and has stayed there. However, he is making the most of the times he does get on base. Over the last 11 contests, McLain is batting .190 (8-for-42) with six walks and six stolen bases. He's up to nine steals over 30 games on the season, putting him on pace to eclipse the career-high 14 steals he delivered in 2023. McLain's most prolific season in the minors was 2022, when he swiped 27 bags across 103 games at Double-A Chattanooga.

Jose Trevino C | CIN
Reds' Jose Trevino: Records three doubles in loss
Trevino went 3-for-4 with three doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.
While Trevino's workload has lessened since the return of Tyler Stephenson, the backup has still played every other day while Stephenson has alternated between catcher and designated hitter. Regular at-bats over the first month of the season led to the most productive offensive stretch of Trevino's career, and he's slashing .310/.344/.524 through 29 games. If manager Terry Francona continues to get Stephenson's bat in the lineup as much as possible without wearing him out with heavy usage behind the plate, Trevino should continue to get three or four starts a week.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Two more hits Thursday
Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a double in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.
Nothing has been able to slow down Perdomo, whether he's hitting at the top of the order in place of an injured Ketel Marte or back down in his familiar ninth spot. Since Marte's return, Perdomo is batting .375 (9-for-24) with a .964 OPS from the bottom of the order. While filling in for Marte, he had a 1.101 OPS from the leadoff spot and an .836 OPS when hitting second. Perdomo has generated more barrels and harder contact in 2025 while getting the ball in the air more often than he had in previous seasons.

Justin Martinez RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Justin Martinez: May pitch off mound this weekend
Martinez (shoulder) extended his throwing program out to 90 feet Thursday and could get back on a mound this weekend, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
Martinez began his throwing program earlier in the week and may need just the minimum stay on the 15-day injured list, per manager Torey Lovullo. "I know you guys want to know on Day 16 is he gonna be available?" Lovullo said. "I think it's gonna potentially be around that time. It's not gonna be much longer than that if it's not on that day." Since Martinez landed on the IL, Shelby Miller and Kevin Ginkel have been given save opportunities.

Brenton Doyle CF | CHW
Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Tallies fourth steal
Doyle went 1-for-7 with a walk and a stolen base across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers.
Doyle has had a bumpy start to the season, as he's battled inconsistency at the plate and also been on and off the field for both personal reasons and a quadriceps injury. He's been in the lineup consistently since April 26, though he's now gone just 6-for-49 with three RBI and three runs scored across 12 games in that span. Doyle did manage his fourth steal of the season Thursday and has yet to be caught.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Continues to hit for average
Bohm went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 7-6 extra-inning victory over the Rays.
Through his first seven games in May, Bohm is batting .308 with one home run, one double, four RBI and four runs scored over 26 at-bats. The corner infielder hasn't hit for much power overall in 2025, but he's batting .304 (24-for-79) across his last 21 outings. Bohm began the season in the top half of Philadelphia's lineup, but he'll likely stick in the lower part of the batting order unless he starts to supply more pop.

Matt Strahm RP | KC
Phillies' Matt Strahm: Second save in extra innings
Strahm picked up the save in Thursday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Rays after allowing one unearned run on two hits in the 10th inning. He struck out two.
It was the second save of the year for Strahm, who was brought in to work the 10th frame after closer Jose Alvarado kept the game tied in the ninth. While Strahm began the season with a scoreless streak of 6.1 innings, he has a 4.82 ERA over his last 9.1 frames and has seen just three save chances overall this year. The southpaw is still one of Philadelphia's top left-handed relievers, but Strahm remains behind Alvarado in the bullpen pecking order when it comes to ninth-inning work.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto SP | LAD
Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Rare bad outing in Arizona
Yamamoto (4-3) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Yamamoto navigated a little trouble the first time through the order, but the Diamondbacks got to him in the fourth inning. Gabriel Moreno tagged him for a grand slam to open the scoring in that frame, and Ketel Marte added a solo home run an inning later. The five runs allowed were more than Yamamoto had allowed over his last five starts combined, a stretch in which he gave up four runs (one earned) in 30 innings. He's given up a pair of homers in two of his eight starts so far, but he hasn't seen a ball leave the yard in the other six. Even with this season-worst performance, Yamamoto is at a 1.80 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 53:14 K:BB through 45 innings. He'll look to right the ship versus the Athletics next week.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Goes yard Thursday
Marte went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.
Marte hit his first homer of the season, stretching Arizona's lead to 5-0 in the fifth inning. The second baseman missed nearly a month due to a hamstring issue, so he's likely still working on his timing at the plate. Through 14 contests this year, he's batting .267 with a .789 OPS, two RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases over 54 plate appearances. Marte should handle a starting role most of the time, but Tim Tawa has gotten some extra looks at the keystone while Marte gets regular rest to avoid aggravating his hamstring, which has been a recurring concern in his career.
