Cuban Players News for the 2025 Major League Baseball season. A compilation of several sources.



Edgar Quero with multi-hit game.

In a 7-3 victory over the Astros on Friday, Edgar Quero had a strong performance, going 2-for-3 with a double, two RBIs, a run scored, and a walk. Since being promoted from the minor leagues two weeks ago, Edgar Quero has consistently performed well at the plate. His first-inning double against Framber Valdez put the White Sox ahead, a lead they maintained throughout the game. Quero currently boasts a .326 batting average and an .837 OPS over his initial 15 games in the major leagues.




Lourdes Gurriel Jr. with multi hit game.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had a successful game against the Phillies on Friday, going 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI. The out was his most powerful hit; he drove Johan Rojas to the center field wall in a one-run game during the ninth inning, but Rojas managed to make the catch and was winded in the process. Despite this, it marked Gurriel’s first three-hit game of the season, raising his average above .200 for the first time in four weeks.




Luis Robert Jr. hit another home run.

Luis Robert Jr. went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Friday's 7-3 victory over the Astros. The home run was his 500th hit in the Majors and also marked the seventh consecutive game in which Robert has gotten a hit. During this period, he has gone 9-for-26 (.346) with three home runs, eight RBIs, seven runs scored, and six stolen bases out of eight attempts. This is a promising stretch for the outfielder, suggesting he is overcoming his early difficulties. Despite this, he is still batting just .189 with a .668 OPS, five home runs, 13 steals, 14 RBIs, and 17 runs scored over 30 games this season. Robert's career high in steals is 23, achieved last year. He could surpass that record if he remains healthy and continues to draw walks frequently.




José Iglesias hitless on Friday.

José Iglesias went 0-for-4 in the Padres' 9-4 victory over the Pirates on Friday. Despite maintaining a decent slash line of .263/.325/.316 this season, he is currently experiencing a rough patch, going 5-for-22 in his last seven games with no home runs and 4 RBIs. The veteran Iglesias was a crucial player for the Mets in 2024, and the Padres believe that a player of his caliber is essential for a team that has faced challenges despite having numerous superstar talents in recent seasons.



Randy Arozarena hits his seventh double of the season.

Randy Arozarena had a successful game on Friday, going 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored, and a walk in the 13-1 victory over the Rangers. Although his strikeout rate of 28.9 percent isn't perfect, he has still managed to provide solid contributions with a .211/.363/.413 slash line, 18 RBIs, 16 runs scored, and eight stolen bases in his first 135 plate appearances this season.



Yordan Álvarez did not get any hits.

Yordan Álvarez went hitless in four at-bats, including a strikeout, during a 7-3 defeat against the White Sox on Friday. In April, Yordan demonstrated some progress with 3 home runs and 16 RBIs, achieving a slash line of .238/.327/.381. However, his power remains lacking, so May should be a month where he begins to perform better and gains momentum heading into the summer.



Miguel Vargas's hitting streak has come to an end.

Miguel Vargas had his 8-game hitting streak snapped on Friday during the White Sox's 7-3 victory over the Astros. Vargas went 0-for-3 but managed a walk and scored a run. He also executed an outstanding play at third base. Recently, the third baseman has improved his offensive performance, going 10-for-25 in his last seven games, with a home run and 5 RBIs. However, maintaining consistency will be crucial for his success at this level. At 25, this season is essential for Vargas to prove that his talent is suited for the Majors, which remains to be seen.




Adolis García with no hits Friday.

Adolis García went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in Friday's 13-1 defeat against the Mariners. He was substituted during the game. García had multiple hits in two of his last four games but is now 0-for-7 in the past three games. He's eager to move past April; Adolis hit .204/.250/.312 over 25 games in April and was recently moved to seventh in the batting order. However, he is starting May on the wrong foot, going 0-for-5 with a strikeout.



Yenier Cano secures another hold.

Yenier Cano secured his seventh hold of the season by delivering a scoreless inning in a 3-0 win over Kansas City. During his outing, Cano gave up a single and struck out one batter. His ERA remains untouched after 10 2/3 innings, with 9 strikeouts and a 0.94 WHIP across 12 games for the Orioles.



Jorge Soler was hitless against the Tigers on Friday.

Jorge Soler went 0-for-4 in a 9-1 loss to the Tigers on Friday, striking out once. Although Soler is known for his tremendous power at the plate, he continues to provide the same value as in his previous years in the Majors. His Batting Run Value (76) for the year is above average, but he still faces challenges when we look at his K% (9) and BB% (21), both parameters hovering near the lower end. With six homers already this year, his bat is expected to heat up during the summer, though predicting a 30+ homer season for the veteran player remains challenging.



Adrián Morejón pitched a scoreless inning.

Reliever Adrián Morejón pitched a scoreless inning during Friday's 9-4 victory over the Pirates. Morejón gave up a single and recorded neither strikeouts nor walks. The left-hander is enjoying an excellent season with a 1.65 ERA over 16 games, demonstrating a 13:3 strikeout-to-walk ratio, along with 4 holds and two save opportunities, converting one.



Yandy Díaz hitless against the Yankees.

Yandy Díaz went 0-for-3 with a strikeout against the Yankees. It was a challenging night for the Tampa hitters, as they faced Max Fried, currently the hottest pitcher in baseball. Tampa managed only one single in the game. With a .276/.348/.414 slash line over his last 15 games, along with a homer and 8 RBIs, the Cuban infielder is on a promising path after experiencing a decline in form in 2024 following his standout 2023 season, where he hit 22 homers, drove in 78 RBIs, and had a .330 batting average.



Ernesto Martínez Jr. sustained an injury with Triple-A Nashville.

Ernesto Martínez Jr. began the season with a .303/.390/.485 performance for Nashville before an injury on April 22, positioning him as a potential candidate to eventually replace Jake Bauers in Milwaukee. However, Bauers has been performing well in his part-time role, and although Martínez might be stronger offensively, he lacks Bauers' versatility in the outfield.
