Detroit Tigers second baseman Colt Keith isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles. Keith has gone 2-for-10 over his last five games with one RBI and a run scored. With Keith sitting in game one, Spencer Torkelson will occupy first base, Zack McKinstry will be in right field, and Gleyber Torres will play second base. The Tigers have a doubleheader on Saturday, so Keith will likely start in game two. Keith has been underperforming this season after a promising rookie year, slashing an ugly .188/.333/.219 with eight runs scored and three RBI with no home runs. He will look to get back on track after sitting out game one.

The Baltimore Orioles have placed outfielder Tyler O'Neill (neck) on the 10-day IL retroactive to Apr 24 with neck soreness. O's manager, Brandon Hyde, stated that he's "hopeful" it's a minimum stay for the veteran. O'Neill has been battling his neck issue for a few weeks now, and he'll finally have time to get it sorted. The power-hitting right-hander has had trouble staying healthy over the years, and 2025 has been no different. Baltimore recalled outfielder Dylan Carlson in a corresponding move. Before his trip to the IL, the 29-year-old had been scuffling at the plate, batting .118 over his last 51 at-bats (six hits). It's possible his neck ailment is at least partially to blame.


Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout saw a pitch from Minnesota Twins reliever Cole Sands in the seventh inning and deposited it into the left field seats for his ninth of the season as the Angels lost to the Twins 11-4. He is now tied for the MLB lead in that department. Trout is enjoying a nice power surge to start the 2025 campaign, but is only batting .185 thus far. Look for Trout to find more consistency at the plate throughout the season, but his power production has been incredible for fantasy managers. He is now slashing .185/.280/.511 with the nine home runs, 14 runs scored, and 18 RBI to go with two stolen bases. Next up for Trout are a few right-handed Twins pitchers, Simeon Woods Richardson and Joe Ryan, to wrap their three-game series against the Twins.

Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports that x-rays on Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jalen Beeks (forearm) came back negative following his early removal from the team's loss against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. The 31-year-old picked up his fourth hold in the contest, allowing one hit while striking out one batter. However, he was struck with a comebacker on his left forearm. Fortunately, there was no structural damage to his arm, but the injury required him to leave the game as his arm immediately began to swell. He can be considered day-to-day for now. Beeks has been superb for the D-Backs in 2025, bolstering a 0.60 ERA and 0.73 WHIP over 15 innings pitched. He's struck out 15 batters (27.3% K%) to just three walks on the season.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito (hamstring) will line up for his first scheduled start of the season this coming Wednesday when his team squares off against the Toronto Blue Jays for their second game of the series. The veteran hurler has been shelved since Spring Training after suffering a low-grade hamstring strain. Giolito had a rough go over his five rehab starts, compiling a 5.19 ERA in 17.1 innings with a 17:13 K:BB ratio across two levels. He was better for Triple-A Worcester, but walked ten batters in 10.1 innings there. The former first-round pick hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2023 after missing all of last season due to an internal brace procedure on his elbow. He has the tools to boost Boston's rotation, but fantasy managers may want to exhibit caution before immediately slotting him into their lineups.
