  • Joel Peguero RP | SF

    Giants' Joel Peguero: Picks up hold Friday

    Peguero earned a hold in Friday's 8-6 defeat to the Rockies, allowing one hit and striking out one across two-thirds of a scoreless inning.

    After giving up two earned runs while recording just one out in Monday's loss to Arizona, Peguero bounced back Friday. The right-hander entered in the sixth inning and surrendered a double to the first batter he faced, though he retired the next two hitters before being pulled. He threw nine of his 13 pitches for strikes in the brief appearance. The 29-year-old now owns a 2.70 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 4:3 K:BB across 10 innings in 10 outings this season.

  • Logan O'Hoppe DH | TEX

    Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Resting Saturday

    O'Hoppe isn't in the Angels' starting lineup versus Tampa Bay on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    O'Hoppe continues to have a rough season at the plate -- overall, he has a .545 OPS through 37 games, and he's gone 3-for-17 across his past six contests. Sebastian Rivero is getting a start behind the dish in O'Hoppe's stead Saturday.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Logs RBI in loss

    Chapman went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Rockies.

    After going 0-for-9 with three walks in 12 plate appearances over his previous three outings, Chapman reached on a fielder's choice in the fourth inning and came around to score. The veteran third baseman later hit an RBI single in the ninth, driving in San Francisco's final run. He's been streaky in May, slashing .174/.255/.250 with nine runs scored, seven doubles and five RBI across 102 plate appearances during the month.

  • Hayden Juenger RP | ATH

    Blue Jays' Hayden Juenger: Promoted to majors

    The Blue Jays selected Juenger's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

    Juenger has pitched well for Buffalo this season, posting a 3.15 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB with three saves over 20 innings spanning 17 appearances (including two starts). He's taking the roster spot of Austin Voth, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Juenger hasn't tossed more than two innings in any outing this season, so he's likely slated for a role at the back of Toronto's bullpen.

  • Padres' Freddy Fermin: Resting Saturday

    Fermin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

    Fermin is currently stuck in an 0-for-23 stretch at the plate, so the Padres will give him a day to collect himself Saturday while Rodolfo Duran starts at catcher, batting ninth.

  • Austin Voth RP | MIN

    Blue Jays' Austin Voth: Removed from 40-man roster

    Toronto designated Voth for assignment Saturday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Voth was brought up to the big-league roster Wednesday and gave up five runs on five hits and four walks over 3.1 innings in bulk relief Friday. He's subsequently lost his place on the the 40-man roster in favor of Hayden Juenger, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday in a corresponding transaction.

  • Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT

    Pirates' Marcell Ozuna: Sitting out third straight

    Ozuna isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

    Saturday will mark Ozuna's third consecutive absence from the starting lineup. Konnor Griffin will work as Pittsburgh's designated hitter again while working through a right forearm flexor strain, affording Jared Triolo a start at shortstop.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Davis isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

    After going just 5-for-47 at the plate since the start of May, Davis will sit for the third time in Pittsburgh's last four games. Endy Rodriguez will start behind the plate Saturday and bat seventh.

  • Derek Hill CF | PHI

    White Sox's Derek Hill: Scratched due to back issue

    Hill has been removed from Saturday's starting lineup versus Detroit due to upper-back tightness, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

    Hill had been penciled in as Chicago's No. 6 batter and center fielder, but the back issue will prevent him from starting Saturday. In his place, Rikuu Nishida is starting in center field and batting ninth.

  • Nick Sogard 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Returns to lineup Saturday

    Sogard (side) is starting at shortstop and batting fifth for the Red Sox on Saturday versus Cleveland, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Sogard has been dealing with a side injury and didn't start Friday. However, he entered as a pinch runner in the eighth inning and finished the game at first base, suggesting that the side issue isn't severe. Indeed, Sogard is back in the lineup Saturday, and he seems to have seized a regular role at second base while Marcelo Mayer has shifted to shortstop in the wake of Trevor Story's absence due to a sport hernia.
