Chourio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a 2-1 win against Minnesota on Saturday.

Chourio carried the Brewers' offense in the victory, recording both of the team's extra-base hits (and two of the club's overall five knocks). His solo home run in the sixth inning broke a 1-1 tie and proved to be the game-winning RBI, as neither team scored thereafter. Chourio didn't make his season debut until May 4, and the long ball was his first of the campaign. He's hit well overall, though, posting a .318/.362/.500 slash line with a steal, four RBI and four runs across 10 contests.

O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 13-3 loss to Washington.

O'Neill has fallen into a weak-side platoon role during his second year with the Orioles, ceding most of the action at designated hitter to the left-handed-hitting Samuel Basallo. The lefty-hitting Dylan Beavers was serving as Baltimore's primary right fielder before going on the injured list Wednesday with a right oblique strain, but now the door is open for O'Neill to play nearly every day in the interim. O'Neill has gone a dreadful 2-for-29 (.069) versus southpaws this year, but he's batting a more respectable .250 with two home runs, one double, seven RBI and eight walks over 40 at-bats against right-handed pitching.

Cole went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during the Astros' 4-1 win over the Rangers on Saturday.

Cole was responsible for the Astros' fourth and final run, when he clubbed a solo home run off Jacob deGrom in the fourth inning. It was Cole's third homer of the season, and the 25-year-old outfielder has gone 8-for-34 (.235) with seven RBI since being recalled from Triple-A Suger Land on May 4.

Myers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Reds' 7-4 loss to the Guardians on Saturday.

Myers got the Reds on the board in the third inning with a solo blast to right field, his second home run in his last three games and third of the season. He's been in a bit of a drought at the plate in May but has gone 3-for-9 with four RBI and three runs scored over his last three outings.

Steer went 1-for-4 with a two-run double during the Reds' 7-4 loss to the Guardians on Saturday.

Steer gave the Reds a 4-2 lead in the fifth after his double to center field brought both Ke'Bryan Hayes and Elly De La Cruz home. Steer has logged at least one RBI in four of his last six games and is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak. He's gone 7-for-17 (.412) with two walks, four RBI and seven runs scored over his last four contests.

The Rays will place Fraley on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a hernia, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays scratched Fraley from Saturday's lineup due to the injury. Topkin relays that the degree and severity of the hernia are not yet known, though Fraley will likely be out of action for at least six weeks. Jonny DeLuca and Ryan Vilade should both see more reps in the outfield in Fraley's absence, and Carson Williams is expected to be called up from Triple-A Durham to take Fraley's spot on the 26-man roster.

Martinez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored during the Guardians' 7-4 win over the Reds on Saturday.

Martinez came home to score in the second, sixth and seventh innings, the last of which was the result of his two-run home run that gave the Guardians a 6-4 lead. His three scored runs were a season high, and his homer was his eighth of the season -- three of which have come over his last four games. Martinez is slashing .266/.313/.496 with eight steals, 22 RBI and 21 runs scored across 153 plate appearances this year.

Giants manager Tony Vitello told reporters Saturday that Ramos will be shelved for at least two weeks due to a right quad strain, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Ramos was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, and given the updated timeline provided by Vitello, Ramos will likely be out of action until at least early June. Drew Gilbert, Will Brennan and Casey Schmitt will all be in the mix for reps in left field for as long as Ramos is sidelined.

The Giants recalled Brennan from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

With Heliot Ramos (quad) landing on the injured list Saturday, Brennan will come up from Triple-A to fill the void in San Francisco's outfield unit. The 28-year-old has gone 0-for-9 at the plate in the big leagues so far this year but is slashing .341/.374/.451 through 92 plate appearances at Sacramento.

The Giants placed Ramos on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right quad strain.

Ramos was taken out of Friday's contest early after his quad tightened up on him in the sixth inning, and he'll now spend at least the next 10 days on the sidelines. Drew Gilbert will likely take over as San Francisco's primary left fielder as long as Ramos is sidelined, and Will Brennan will come up from Triple-A Sacramento to replenish the team's outfield depth.
