Brandon Lockridge LF | MIL
Brewers' Brandon Lockridge: Placed on IL
The Brewers placed Lockridge (knee) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Lockridge was taken out of Friday's game against the Yankees after crashing hard into the side wall in left field and suffering a deep laceration in his right knee. Manager Pat Murphy said after the game that Lockridge is expected to be out for "a while," so the Brewers will stash him away on the IL and bring up Blake Perkins to replenish their outfield depth.

Yohendrick Pinango LF | TOR
Blue Jays' Yohendrick Pinango: Optioned to Buffalo
The Blue Jays optioned Pinango to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
Pinango impressed during his first stint in the majors, going 11-for-26 (.423) with four RBI and a run scored in 10 games. Despite his strong performance, he'll be pushed off the active roster by Addison Barger's (ankles) return from the injured list. If Toronto's outfield depth is tested again later in the year, Pinango will be one of the top candidates to rejoin the big club.

Esteury Ruiz RF | MIA
Marlins' Esteury Ruiz: Swipes two more bags Friday
Ruiz went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and two stolen bases in Friday's loss to the Nationals.
Starting in center field and batting ninth against southpaw Foster Griffin, Ruiz beat out a potential double-play grounder in the second inning and then promptly swiped second and third base before being stranded. The 27-year-old's speed has never been in question, only his ability to get on base often enough to put it to good use in the majors. Over his first 11 games as a Marlin, Ruiz has seen just 21 plate appearances as a short-side platoon option and late-inning defensive replacement or pinch runner, but he's gone 5-for-5 in steal attempts despite batting .190 (4-for-21) with a 0:8 BB:K.

Wilyer Abreu RF | BOS
Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Homers in win
Abreu went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Rays.
Abreu's third-inning home run was all the Red Sox needed in a pitcher's duel at Fenway Park. It was the second homer in the last four games and sixth of the season for Abreu, who has knocked in runs in five of the last seven contests. He's been a steady producer since Opening Day and is slashing .303/.387/.486 over 163 plate appearances.
-
Brandon Nimmo RF | TEX
Rangers' Brandon Nimmo: Returns to field
Nimmo started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Cubs.
Nimmo was back defending in the outfield after a hamstring issue cost him a couple of games and limited him to designated hitter in three others. He continues to be a bright light in the Rangers' lineup and is slashing .291/.373/.440 with four home runs, 12 RBI, one steal and 17 runs over 36 games, all as the team's leadoff batter.

Heliot Ramos RF | NYY
Giants' Heliot Ramos: Multi-hit effort in win
Ramos went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.
Ramos hit an RBI single in the fourth inning and doubled in the seventh before coming around to score. The 26-year-old outfielder has struggled in May, batting .179 with an RBI and a run scored in 28 plate appearances over seven outings this month. Overall, he's slashing .261/.295/.406 with 16 RBI, 13 runs scored and three long balls across 146 plate appearances this season.

Justin Crawford CF | PHI
Phillies' Justin Crawford: Pops first MLB homer
Crawford went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-7 extra-innings loss to the Rockies.
The rookie center fielder came up big in the eighth inning, getting hold of a Jimmy Herget sweeper and dropping it over the right-field wall to tie the game at 7-7 and cap a five-run frame, but the Phillies couldn't complete the comeback in extras. It was Crawford's first career homer in the majors, and since getting a day off April 26 he's caught fire, slashing .371/.405/.571 over the last 11 games with four extra-base hits, one steal, three runs and seven RBI.

Hunter Goodman C | COL
Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Big day in Philly
Goodman went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-7 extra-innings win over the Phillies.
The slugging backstop took Jesus Luzardo deep in the fourth inning as the first seven Colorado batters reached base in the frame. Goodman's long ball was his 10th of the season, and through 35 games he's slashing .254/.324/.530 with 17 RBI and 25 runs, numbers that surprisingly haven't been bolstered by much production at home yet -- eight of his 10 homers have come on the road, and his OPS at Coors Field so far in 2026 is a meager .656, compared to a 1.020 mark closer to sea level.

Steven Kwan LF | CLE
Guardians' Steven Kwan: Logs two hits in win
Kwan went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Twins.
Kwan has hit safely in both games coming out of a day off Wednesday, going 3-for-7 with three walks. Prior to the day off, Kwan was mired in an 8-for-54 (.148) stretch over 16 games.

Riley Greene LF | DET
Tigers' Riley Greene: Tallies three hits in loss
Greene went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.
Greene continued his strong recent play, as he's batting .333 over his last 10 games with a home run, two RBI and six runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .309/.404/.475 across 39 contests. The batting average and on-base percentage would both be new career highs for Greene, as would his .879 OPS. His power is a bit down from last season, but the talented outfielder is proving that he can still be effective offensively.
