  • J.J. Bleday LF | CIN

    Reds' JJ Bleday: Homers in win

    Bleday went 1-for-4 with a walk and solo home run in Monday's 7-2 win over the Mets.

    Bleday's solo shot in the third turned out to be the game-winning hit. His torrid start in a Cincinnati uniform has cooled off -- the outfielder entered Monday on a 3-for-27 run over the previous seven contests -- but he's locked in a regular gig in left field since being called up from Triple-A Louisville. Bleday has seven home runs and 21 RBI while slashing .270/.377/.596 through 25 games.

  • Rhett Lowder SP | CIN

    Reds' Rhett Lowder: Slated to face hitters

    Lowder (shoulder) is expected to face hitters Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

    Lowder has ramped up his rehab and completed a high-intensity throwing session Monday. The right-hander is working his way back from right shoulder discomfort that cropped up during a May 7 start. Even if a brief rehab assignment is necessary, Lowder could be ready for activation by the end of the week.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CHC

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Resumes baseball activities

    Arias (hamstring) has resumed baseball activities and hitting in a cage, MLB.com reports.

    Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said earlier this month that Arias hit a snag in his rehab, which pushed the infielder's return timeline out. The initial estimate of 4-to-8 weeks lined him up for a late-May return, but his potential activation date has now been pushed out to sometime in June.

  • Guardians' Logan Allen: Majors stay likely brief

    Allen allowed two unearned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven over four relief innings in Monday's 10-2 loss to Washington.

    Allen, a starter in the minors, was called up Sunday and needed to bail out the bullpen a day later when starter Tanner Bibee was done after three innings. The Guardians are in the middle of a stretch where they are playing 13 consecutive days, which can be taxing on a 'pen. Given that Allen burned 61 pitches Monday, he's unlikely to be available for several days. As such, his locker was cleaned out post-game, indicating the Guardians will make a roster move Tuesday, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com.

  • Diamondbacks' Ryan Waldschmidt: Moves up order

    Waldschmidt batted sixth and went 0-for-5 in Monday's 6-2 win over San Francisco.

    Waldschmidt moved up the batting order from ninth to sixth the last two games, as the Diamondbacks incorporated recent call-up Tommy Troy into the lineup. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo slotted Waldschmidt there Sunday and told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that upon further reflection, he liked what he saw from the rookie. "I thought [Sunday] it was mostly a reflection of the lineup and who was not in the lineup that pushed him forward," Lovullo said. "But I like the way it looked and I'll probably stay with that for a little while." Waldschmidt has never gone more than one game without a hit since being called up and is batting .321 with five extra-base hits, five steals, seven RBI and nine runs scored over 17 games.

  • Jordan Lawlar CF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Takes batting practice

    Lawlar (wrist) took on-field batting practice last week, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Lawlar felt good following the batting-practice session, though the skipper doesn't believe the infielder is ready for game action. Lawlar is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list June 2, but he'll likely need additional time beyond that to recover from his fractured right wrist before being activated.

  • Ernie Clement 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Goes deep in defeat

    Clement went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss against the Marlins.

    Clement was a bright spot in the loss, launching a solo homer in the sixth inning to extend his hitting streak to eight games. The second baseman hasn't provided much over-the-fence thump with four homers in 213 plate appearances, though he has stood out with a .299 batting average and 17 doubles, tied with Matt Olson for the most in MLB.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Clubs 11th homer

    Raley went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-2 victory versus the Athletics.

    Raley was a key part of Seattle's six-run third inning, as he launched a two-run homer. That was his first long ball since we went deep in back-to-back games May 13 and 14. Raley frequently sits against left-handed starters, which dings his fantasy value to an extent. Still, he's putting up strong numbers overall, slashing .270/.329/.562 with 11 homers, 20 runs, 29 RBI and one stolen base through 150 plate appearances.

  • Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Plates three runs in win

    Arozarena went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and three total RBI in a 9-2 win against the Athletics on Monday.

    Arozarena knocked in a run with a double in the third inning and added a 437-foot, two-run homer in the ninth. He finished with multiple hits for the first time in six contests and tied his season-high mark in RBI. On the campaign, Arozarena is slashing a healthy .299/.390/.477 with six homers, 15 doubles, one triple, 38 runs, 25 RBI and 14 stolen bases through 55 games.

  • Owen Caissie RF | MIA

    Marlins' Owen Caissie: Picks up two RBI in win

    Caissie went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 8-2 victory over the Blue Jays.

    Caissie got in on the offensive action, slugging an RBI double in the fifth inning before adding an RBI single in the eighth frame. Monday marked the outfielder's third multi-hit effort in what has been a challenging campaign. He's hitting .221 with four homers, eight doubles, 26 RBI, 15 runs and three stolen bases across 47 contests in 2026.
