  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Belts big three-run blast

    Raley went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a walk Monday in a 5-4 win against Atlanta.

    Seattle was unable to break through against Atlanta rookie JR Ritchie until the sixth frame, when Raley came through with a three-run homer. The blast turned a four-run deficit into a one-run deficit, and the Mariners scored twice more in the inning to complete the comeback. The homer was a much-needed big hit for Raley, who entered Monday in a 2-for-30 tailspin with 13 strikeouts over his previous 14 contests. He's slashing .253/.313/.516 with six homers, 16 RBI and 12 runs through 99 plate appearances on the campaign.

  • Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Four-hit effort in return

    Chourio (hand) went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 6-3 loss to St. Louis.

    In his first big-league game of the season, Chourio reached base in all five of his plate appearances, including a pair of doubles. The outfielder, who opened the season on the injured list due to a fracture in his left hand, showed no signs of rust, as his lowest exit velocity checked in at 102.8 mph. Coming off a 2025 campaign in which he posted a .771 OPS with 21 homers, 35 doubles, four triples, 78 RBI, 88 runs and 21 stolen bases across 131 regular-season appearances, the 22-year-old will look to take another step forward in 2026.

  • Jarren Duran LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Homers again Monday

    Duran went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 win over the Tigers.

    After Boston was held quiet early by Ty Madden, Duran flipped the game with one swing, launching a three-run homer off Ricky Vanasco in the seventh inning to give the Red Sox the lead. The blast was his fourth of the season and third in his last four games. The outfielder also added his sixth stolen base of the year, continuing to contribute on the bases. Despite the recent production, Duran's overall line remains dull, as he's now slashing .203/.260/.347 with 18 RBI across 127 plate appearances.

  • Aaron Judge RF | NYY

    Yankees' Aaron Judge: Power surge continues in rout

    Judge went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 12-1 win over the Orioles.

    The superstar outfielder continued to surge, racking up a season-high four RBI on Monday. Judge has smacked five homers in his past eight games, during which he's recorded five multi-hit efforts as well. Through 158 plate appearances, Judge is slashing a robust .272/.409/.648 with 14 long balls, five doubles, 27 RBI and five stolen bases.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: On track for Tuesday return

    Springer (foot) is expected to be back in the starting lineup Tuesday against Tampa Bay, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Bannon mentions that Springer was spotted in the on-deck circle at one point during Monday's matchup for a potential pinch-hit situation, but he was ultimately pulled back to allow Brandon Valenzuela to hit. Springer has been held out of the lineup for two straight games after being struck by a pitch on his left foot Saturday, but he managed to avoid a significant injury and should be back in action for the second game of the series.

  • Roman Anthony LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Set to visit hand specialist

    X-rays on Anthony's right wrist returned negative, but he'll fly to Boston on Tuesday to see a hand specialist, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Anthony's trip to Boston appears to be a precautionary measure, as the Red Sox want to ensure the young outfielder avoided a significant injury. Boston is scheduled to play two more games in Detroit, so the 21-year-old will presumably miss the remainder of the series, with the hope that he'll be back in the starting lineup Thursday against Tampa Bay. Masataka Yoshida will be a candidate to see more at-bats in Anthony's absence.

  • Carson Benge RF | NYM

    Mets' Carson Benge: Blasts third homer in win

    Benge went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 4-2 victory over Colorado.

    After five scoreless innings, Benge opened the scoring in the sixth frame with a 436-foot solo blast off Tomoyuki Sugano, his third long ball of the campaign. The rookie is regarded as one of the top outfield prospects in baseball, though that hasn't prevented some growing pains at the big-league level, as the 23-year-old owns a .579 OPS through 32 games. He has been more productive of late, however, as Benge is slashing .238/.333/.429 with two extra-base hits, four RBI and four runs across his past seven games.

  • Braves' Michael Harris: Considered day-to-day

    Harris (quadriceps) is being considered day-to-day after Atlanta left him out of Monday's starting lineup against Seattle, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Harris managed to slot into the starting lineup in the DH spot Saturday, but he wasn't penciled into the starting nine Monday after also sitting Sunday. Manager Walt Weiss noted that the club is officially considering Harris day-to-day, though an IL stint could be on the table if the quad injury doesn't improve over the next few days. "You pull the plug on it if it starts to get worse at any time," said Weiss. "There's a tipping point right? We can't continue with this for another two week."

  • Roman Anthony LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Diagnosed with wrist injury

    Anthony was removed from Monday's game against the Tigers due to right wrist discomfort, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Anthony appeared to tweak his right wrist during his plate appearance in the first inning and was replaced by Masataka Yoshida in the second. Anthony will undergo more tests on his wrist to determine the severity of the injury, by which time the Red Sox should provide an update on the young outfielder's status moving forward.

  • Giants' Harrison Bader: Ready for rehab assignment

    Bader (hamstring) will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Bader has been working through a left hamstring strain that caused him to be placed on the Giants' 10-day injured list in mid-April. He has progressed enough in his recovery to embark on a rehab assignment, and how his hamstring reacts to a more intense workload will dictate when he'll be cleared to return to the majors.
