Steer entered play Friday with six home runs on the year. By the fifth inning, the 27-year-old infielder had nine home runs. Steer hit two solo shots off Dylan Cease and a two-run home run off reliever Yuki Matsui in the fifth inning. Steer still has just a .704 OPS on the year, but with the Reds moving on from Jeimer Candelario earlier this week, he seems entrenched as the first baseman for the rest of the season.

Hays returned from the injured list on Friday, going 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI. This is likely their way of just easing him back into a full-time role. Rece Hinds will start in his place in right field and bat seventh for the Reds against Randy Vasquez and the Padres on Saturday afternoon in Cincinnati.

The 27-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since late April due to a shoulder impingement. Given the long layoff, he’s likely to require an extensive rehab assignment before he’ll be an option to help out the Reds at the big league level.

De La Cruz’ stolen base was No. 22 on the season. While that’s well behind his stolen base pace last year when he stole 67 bases, De La Cruz has improved as a hitter this season. The 23-year-old superstar shortstop is hitting .279 with an .863 OPS in 82 games this year compared to .255 with an .809 OPS last year.

Winker has been shelved since the beginning of May due to a right oblique strain. He’s eligible to return from the injured list on July 4 and there’s a chance that if everything goes according to plan he could be ready at that time. It’s unclear who he would displace on the Mets’ current roster, but having too many quality options seems like a good problem for them to sort out.

The expectation is that the 26-year-old slugger will remain with the Saints through the weekend and as long as he avoids any setbacks, he would return to the Twins for the start of their series against the Marlins on Tuesday. Lewis has had a tumultuous and disappointing season to date, slashing just .202/.282/.303 with two homers and nine RBI in 110 plate appearances sandwiched between stints on the injured list.

In a game that featured a lot of scoring early, it really calmed down late. That being said, Ohtani put the bookends on a tough night for Royals’ rookie starter Noah Cameron with a lead-off home run and then a triple to chase him from the game in the fifth inning. Ohtani scalded those two batted balls 110.4 mph and 112.4 mph respectively in what was another excellent game for the slugger. While not stealing bases nearly as often compared to his historic 2024 season, Ohtani is currently on pace for just under 60 home runs with a 1.045 OPS while he builds himself up as a pitcher.
