Corbin Carroll RF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Walks off Rockies
Carroll went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Thursday's 2-1 win over Colorado.
It wasn't a glitzy, walk-off home run, but Carroll's two-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning accomplished the same goal, giving Arizona its fifth consecutive win. Earlier in the game, he knocked in the team's first run on a fielder's choice. The single extended Carroll's hit streak to nine games, during which he's gone 12-for-31 (.387) with seven extra-base hits, six RBI and 10 runs scored.

Ivan Herrera DH | STL
Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Launches sixth homer
Herrera went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Pirates.
Herrera got St. Louis on the board in the third inning with a two-out shot off Braxton Ashcraft, giving the catcher/DH his sixth homer of the year and his second in three games. Herrera has swung the bat well of late, going 16-for-51 with an .804 OPS over his last 12 contests. Overall, he's slashing .262/.386/.426 with 24 RBI and 28 runs scored across 223 plate appearances this season.

Brock Stewart RP | LAD
Dodgers' Brock Stewart: Resumes throwing
Stewart (foot) has started a throwing program, per MLB.com.
Stewart made his season debut May 6 after recovering from a shoulder injury. However, he landed on the 15-day IL three days later due to a bone spur in his left foot. Stewart was given a three-week timeline by manager Dave Roberts after he landed on the shelf, and that still appears to be in play given the reliever's recent return to throwing.

Matt Waldron SP | SD
Padres' Matt Waldron: May return as reliever
Waldron (forearm) could take on a bullpen role when he returns from the 15-day injured list, MLB.com reports.
Waldron landed on the IL last Friday due to a right brachialis muscle injury. He had initially been slated to be designated for assignment, as Waldron lost hold of his spot in the rotation after Lucas Giolito was cleared to make his team debut. If Waldron remains with the club after he gets healthy, he'll likely be asked to work out of the bullpen, barring injuries to other starters reopening a spot in the rotation. Over six appearances (three starts) with San Diego so far in 2026, Waldron has posted a 8.49 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over 23.1 innings.

German Marquez SP | SD
Padres' German Marquez: Resumes mound work
Marquez (forearm) has progressed to throwing off a mound, per MLB.com.
Marquez landed on the 15-day injured list May 3 due to right forearm nerve irritation. He resumed throwing in mid-May and has since been able to return to mound work. If he continues to progress without any setbacks, Marquez could be back with San Diego sometime in June, though he'll likely need a minor-league rehab stint before being activated.

Luis Campusano C | SD
Padres' Luis Campusano: Taking swings, catching pitches
Campusano (toe) has progressed to swinging in the batting cage and catching off a pitching machine, per MLB.com.
Campusano is dealing with a small fracture in his toe that he sustained when he fouled a ball off his foot May 5. The backstop seems to have made significant progress in recent days, though he'll presumably need to get in a minor-league rehab stint before he's activated off the IL. It's possible that Campusano will make it back to the Padres before the end of May, but an early June return seems more likely.

Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT
Pirates' Marcell Ozuna: Two RBI in return to lineup
Ozuna went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Thursday against the Cardinals.
Ozuna had been out of the lineup for two of the last three games, and he was bumped down to sixth in the order in his return Thursday. He responded by delivering a two-RBI single in the sixth inning, giving the Pirates a three-run lead. Ozuna has gone just 7-for-35 across his last 10 starts, though he has managed five RBI and four runs scored in that span.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Pops 13th homer
Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Thursday against the Cardinals.
Lowe gave the Pirates a 1-0 lead in the first inning with what was originally scored as an inside-the-park home run, but it was later ruled a traditional homer. He has now gone yard 13 times in his first 44 games as a Pirate. Lowe also has at least one hit in five of his last six starts, and he's gone 8-for-26 with three homers, four RBI and four runs scored in that span.

Zach Agnos RP | COL
Rockies' Zach Agnos: Works five scoreless in no-decision
Agnos allowed one hit and issued one walk while striking out four batters over five scoreless innings in a no-decision against Arizona on Thursday.
Coming into the contest, the expectation was that the Rockies were opting for a bullpen game, with Agnos working as the opener. While that did play out to a degree, Agnos gave Colorado close to a traditional starter's depth, as he was able to finish a career-high five innings. Agnos' 71 pitches weren't quite reflective of a typical starter's workload, but they got him deep enough to qualify for the win, though Colorado's offense was unable to muster enough support to give him that victory. Nonetheless, this was a promising outing for Agnos in his first career start. The right-hander had previously completed four frames in long relief twice this season, so he seems to have his arm built up enough to continue working as a starter.

Eduardo Rodriguez SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Hurls seven scoreless frames
Rodriguez allowed four hits and walked one batter while striking out four over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision against Colorado on Thursday.
Rodriguez took his first loss of the season against Colorado in his previous start, but he shut down the Rockies' offense in the rematch. The veteran southpaw retired the first nine batters he faced and allowed just one Colorado runner to reach third base. As usual, Rodriguez didn't miss many bats -- he tallied just seven whiffs and four punchouts -- but he nonetheless managed his fifth quality start through 10 outings. It's been a resurgent season for Rodriguez, who posted an ERA above 5.00 in each of his previous two campaigns. So far this season, he's pitched to a stellar 2.24 ERA despite a modest 43:23 K:BB through 60.1 innings.
