Marlins' Griffin Conine: Placed on 60-day IL
The Marlins placed Conine on the 60-day injured list Sunday with a dislocated left shoulder.
The 27-year-old was enjoying a solid start to the campaign with a .790 OPS in 71 plate appearances, but he'll be out for at least the next two months after suffering a dislocated shoulder on a slide into second base Saturday. Conine is scheduled to undergo more medical testing Monday, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

Cubs' Caleb Thielbar: Picks up first win
Thielbar (1-0) tossed two scoreless innings of relief with a strikeout to earn the win in Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Thielbar worked the fifth and sixth innings after starter Ben Brown covered the first four frames. That set the lefty reliever up for his first win in a Chicago uniform. Thielbar allowed two runs in his third appearance of the year, but since then, the veteran reliever has only allowed two total runs across 6.1 innings in seven appearances. His fantasy upside is limited, however, as a middle-relief option for the Cubs.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Homers twice in rehab game
Winn (back) cranked a pair of solo home runs in his second rehab game with Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
After starting at shortstop in his first rehab game Friday and striking out in all three plate appearances, Winn was in the designated hitter spot Saturday and went deep twice. Recovering from lower-back spasms, Winn remains on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday.

Michael Busch 1B | CHC
Cubs' Michael Busch: Goes deep in win
Busch went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Busch singled in a run in the bottom of the first inning, then added a solo home run an inning later, giving him five long balls for the season. The infielder has an impressive .316/.381/.618 slash line through 22 games, and while he often sits against southpaws, Busch has been a force against righties. He currently has a 1.020 OPS against opposite-handed pitching this year, as well as all of his home runs and RBI.

Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC
Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Homers again Saturday
Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Suzuki went deep for the second straight day, giving him six long balls for the season. The outfielder's career high in home runs is 21, which he recorded last year. If he stays healthy in 2025, Suzuki is on pace to easily surpass that total.

Eddie Rosario RF | MIL
Dodgers' Eddie Rosario: Designated for assignment
The Dodgers designated Rosario for assignment Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
The veteran outfielder joined the big-league roster Friday with Shohei Ohtani landing on the paternity list, but it will be a short stay in the majors with Ohtani rejoining the club Sunday. Rosario went 1-for-4 with a double in his two games with the team. Assuming he passes through waivers unclaimed, he could elect free agency or return to Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he has a .948 OPS through 14 contests this year.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Back Sunday, as expected
Ohtani (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list and is expected to start at designated hitter Sunday against the Rangers, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Ohtani was away from the Dodgers for the past two games to attend the birth of his daughter, but he's back with the club for Sunday's series finale in Texas. Through 20 games this season, the 30-year-old has a .288/.380/.550 slash line with six homers, five steals eight RBI and 21 runs in 92 plate appearances.
