  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Back from injured list

    The Twins activated Castro (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Castro hasn't played since mid-April because of the injury, but he will skip a rehab assignment and go right back onto the Twins' active roster. The super utility player will be in line for close to everyday playing time, likely alternating across multiple positions.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Drives in run in team debut

    Rojas went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Astros.

    Rojas was activated from the injured list Sunday after a toe injury kept him sidelined for the first month of the season. He hit seventh in the order while starting at third base and managed a bases-loaded walk in the fifth inning to collect his first RBI with the White Sox in his debut with the club. Rojas is projected to serve in a large-side platoon role moving forward.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Knocks in pair

    Sosa went 1-for-2 with a walk and two RBI on Sunday against the Astros.

    Sosa only has 10 RBI across 33 games this season, but five have come in his last 10 appearances. He's hitting a decent .256 for the campaign, but he has just a .086 ISO and also suffers from hitting in the bottom-third of the White Sox's order.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Goes deep again Sunday

    Keith went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two walks and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Angels.

    Keith took Jack Kochanowicz deep to center in the third to put the Tigers up 5-0. It was his third home run in his last five games after he had zero in his previous 27. Over these last five games, Keith has driven in five runs and scored eight times while producing a 4:3 BB:K. He's showing signs of life and barreling the ball more after not doing much offensively over the first month of the season.

  • Jorbit Vivas 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Collects first big-league hit

    Vivas went 1-for-2 with two RBI in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Rays.

    Vivas didn't start the contest, but he entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and grounded out in his first at-bat. The 24-year-old accomplished a personal milestone in his second trip to the plate, singling in a pair of runs for his first major-league hit. Vivas had gone 0-for-3 with two walks in his first two games after getting called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. He could see frequent starts at second base while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is on the shelf.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Knocks in two

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with two RBI and two walks Sunday against the Yankees.

    Lowe managed to drive in a pair with a single in the fourth inning, though he still hasn't snapped out of a slow start to the season. He's hitting only .203 paired with a 28.1 percent strikeout rate, but most problematic has been his lack of power. Lowe's only extra-base hits of the season have been his four home runs, leading to just a .102 ISO across 128 plate appearances.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Records three hits in win

    Arias went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over Toronto.

    Arias had his most productive game in a couple of weeks. He entered Sunday batting .184 (7-for-38) with one RBI over the last 13 games. Arias started at shortstop, his fourth start there in the last six games and 11th this season.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Expected to return early this week

    Castro (oblique) isn't likely to need a minor-league rehab assignment and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    If he's fully healthy the utility player should immediately reclaim a regular starting role with the Twins struggling to find production at multiple lineup spots. Castro originally suffered the right oblique strain April 16, but he's since resumed baseball activities and has been taking batting practice without issue.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Homers twice in loss

    Holliday went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Royals.

    Holliday tied the game with a solo shot in the second inning and later knotted things up again with a 422-foot blast in the fourth. The 21-year-old has hit safely in eight of his last 10 contests and is currently riding a five-game hit streak. While his tendency to sit against lefties limits his ceiling for now, he's slashing a solid .273/.340/.443 with four homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and two steals across 97 plate appearances.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Regains foothold in lineup

    Rodgers will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    After a stretch in which he made just one start in six games, Rodgers has now been included on four straight lineup cards. He seems to have regained some security as the Astros' preferred option at the keystone after going 3-for-12 with a walk and two runs over the previous three contests.
