Hello once again, baseball ⚾ fans! I hope that this week is off to a wonderful start! Welcome to another edition of "MLB on Fox: On Deck", where we preview the upcoming games that Fox will be televising during the week. This week (Saturday, May 31), "Fox Saturday Baseball" is locked and loaded with games from late afternoon (4:00 PM) through the late-night timeslot (10:00 PM). With that in mind, let us dive right in.

Leading off Saturday's MLB game coverage, FS1 will present a National League matchup to a national audience at 4:00 PM (ET). In this game, we will see Rhys Hoskins and the Milwaukee Brewers take on Bryson Stott and the Philadelphia Phillies from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Milwaukee and Philadelphia are getting together for the first time this season. Last year, the Phillies took four of six games from the Brewers, including a series sweep at Citizens Bank Park in early June. Currently, the Phillies lead the NL East with a 34-19 record. Milwaukee, at 27-28, looks to climb up the National League Wild Card & Central standings. 🎙 Kevin Kugler (play-by-play) & Tom Verducci (analyst) are set for the late afternoon FS1 presentation.

Immediately following Brewers-Phillies game coverage on FS1, Fox takes over the broadcasting duties for "Baseball Night in America", beginning at 7:00 PM (ET). This week, Fox will regionalize a pair of tremendous game matchups across the country, including Yankees at Dodgers or Twins at Mariners (check your local listings or the bottom of this article to determine which game your local FOX station will be showing come Saturday evening).

A re-match of the 2024 World Series is going down at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles as Cody Bellinger and the New York Yankees resume their West Coast road trip against Teoscar Hernández and the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. This game will be seen in most of the country (for obvious reasons). Right now, New York is in the midst of a three-city, nine-game West Coast trip (Denver, Anaheim & Los Angeles). Yankees RF Aaron Judge leads the team in home runs at 18. The Dodgers have a two game lead over San Diego & San Francisco for the NL West lead beginning play this week. 🎙 Joe Davis (play-by-play) and Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst) have the call from the booth, with Ken Rosenthal (reporter) reporting from the field.

Select Fox stations across the country will be watching another great matchup come Saturday, as Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins tussle with Julio Rodríguez in an American League showdown at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. Despite Minnesota's recent 13-game winning streak, they find themselves in third place in the American League Central (trailing the Tigers & Guardians). Twins 1B Ty France has had a productive season for Minnesota, collecting 47 hits in 51 games. Seattle is still chasing their first-ever World Series appearance (they are the only current MLB team to never reach the World Series). 🎙 Jason Benetti (play-by-play) provides commentary alongside 2006 World Series champion Adam Wainwright (analyst).

Once "Baseball Night in America" on Fox wraps up, FS1 returns for their second MLB telecast of the day. At 10:00 PM (ET), James Wood and the Washington Nationals continue their week long sojourn to the West Coast with a matchup against Geraldo Perdomo and the Arizona Diamondbacks from Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. Washington is striving to return to postseason play for the first time since their World Series winning season in 2019. Plus, Washington has been a basic doormat in the NL East, as they have finished last or second to last each year since 2020. The Diamondbacks bring a 27-27 record into this week's slate of games. Arizona is desperately searching for some good vibes as the month of June slowly approaches. 🎙 Connor Onion handles the play-by-play alongside game analyst Eric Karros.
