Griffin Canning

NYM Starting Pitcher #46

Griffin Canning was pulled from Thursday’s start against the Braves in the third inning due to an apparent left leg injury.

Canning delivered a pitch to Nick Allen that resulted in a ground out to the shortstop, but he hopped off the mound and fell to the ground, clutching his leg. The training staff ultimately had to help support the right-hander as he hobbled off the field. He’ll head for testing to see exactly what’s going on there, but it didn’t look good. Look for the Mets to provide an update on his status as soon as more information becomes available.

COL 1st Baseman

TJ Rumfield homered while going 3-for-4 in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Rumfield cut the Diamondbacks’ lead in half with a solo homer in the eighth inning. The 26-year-old also scored a second run, and he’s been one of the few bright spots for the lowly — again — Rockies with a slash of .289/.359/.460. Solid numbers even before you consider how far off the radar Rumfield was to begin 2026.

Alejandro Osuna

TEX Left Fielder #19

Alejandro Osuna went 3-for-3 with a run scored in a loss to the Angels on Saturday.

Osuna singled for all three hits. The 23-year-old has shown very little power since being promoted near the end of April, but he’s also hit .295 with a .427 on-base percentage over his month of work. Osuna is more than likely a fourth outfielder, but there have certainly been flashes that suggest he’s a little more. Not enough to trust him in redraft leagues just yet, but flashes.

Mike Trout

LAA Center Fielder #27

Mike Trout hit a two-run homer in the Angels’ 5-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday.

Nathan Eovaldi left a cutter in the middle of the plate in the first inning, and Trout took advantage of it with a long homer to center field. That’s the 13th homer of the season for the future Hall of Famer, and he’s now driven in 27 runs over the first third of the season. Trout has now homered three times in May, and it’s just fun to see the 34-year-old healthy and productive on the baseball field more than anything.

Kirby Yates

LAA Relief Pitcher #39

Kirby Yates worked a scoreless ninth to get a save Saturday against the Rangers.

Yates failed in his first chance for a save with the Angels on Wednesday, but he was able to convert this one without issue. The 39-year-old didn’t allow a hit, and he struck out a batter while throwing 9-of-11 pitches for strikes. Yates has plenty of closing experience, but it’s tough to trust him even before you consider how bad the Angels are.

Walbert Ureña

LAA Starting Pitcher #57

Walbert Ureña worked five innings while allowing just a run and picked up a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

Ureña pitched well again, and this time got some run support after getting zero against the A’s on Monday. The 22-year-old did deal with traffic as seen in allowing eight hits and three walks, but he kept the Rangers off the board sans a sacrifice fly from Ezequiel Duran in the second inning. Ureña has really impressed in his rookie campaign, and he’s earned his 2.58 ERA on the campaign. He’ll have a tough test against the red-hot Rays over the weekend.

Nathan Eovaldi

TEX Starting Pitcher #17

Nathan Eovaldi allowed three runs in seven innings while taking a loss to the Angels on Saturday.

He struck out six, allowed five hits and walked two. Eovaldi was excellent after the first inning, but a two-run homer by Mike Trout in that first frame long with just one run of support while he was in the game. The right-hander now has a 3.65 ERA on the season, and a hard-luck 5-5 record to go with it. He’ll be back on the bump Thursday against the Astros and hope for a little more help from his offense in the process.

Ketel Marte

AZ 2nd Baseman #4

Ketel Marte went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer to help the Diamondbacks to a 5-4 win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Marte absolutely obliterated a two-run homer off Michael Lorenzen that traveled 424 feet with an exit velocity that measured at 112.4 mph. The 32-year-old also also singled twice and drew a walk. Marte has started to pick it up after a slow start to the campaign, and his .251/.308/.440 slash seems awfully like to be improved upon over the summer.

Paul Sewald

AZ Relief Pitcher #38

Paul Sewald worked a scoreless ninth inning to procure a save versus the Rockies on Saturday.

Sewald didn’t allow a hit, didn’t give up a walk, and struck out a batter. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for the 35-year-old, but he has gotten the job done more often than not as seen in his 12 saves on the season with a respectable — if a bit on the high side — 3.72 ERA.

Michael Lorenzen

COL Starting Pitcher #24

Michael Lorenzen worked five innings and allowed five runs while taking a loss Monday versus the Diamondbacks.

Lorenzen allowed 11 earned runs over 9 2/3 innings in his back-to-back starts against the D-backs. It’s not like he’s been much better against anyone else, he’s now 2-7 on the season with an ERA of 7.21. Who outside of anyone and everyone could have seen these struggles coming? Lorenzen well try and improve those numbers against the Giants next weekend.

Zac Gallen

AZ Starting Pitcher #23

Zac Gallen allowed three runs over 5 1/3 innings to pick up a win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Gallen struck out six against two walks. He gave up a pair of runs in the fourth and another in the sixth in an otherwise solid — if unspectacular —outing for the right-hander. Gallen wasn’t quite as good as his six-inning, two-run effort Monday against the Giants, but there were some positive signs for the 30-year-old for most of the outing. The Mariners next for Gallen in Seattle on Friday.
