  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Swipes eighth bag

    Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Houston.

    Gimenez got on base in the second inning with a single to center field, and he showed off his speed when he stole second base later in the frame. It was his eighth steal of the season, which is tied with Jake Mangum (groin) for most in the American League and fourth in the majors. Gimenez is slashing .198/.282/.341 with eight walks, 14 runs scored, three home runs and eight RBI in 103 plate appearances this season.

  • Jorbit Vivas 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Yankees optioned Vivas to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Guardians.

    Vivas was added the Yankees' 26-man roster Monday to take the spot vacated by Trent Grisham (paternity). Vivas didn't appear in any of the Yankees' three games against the Guardians and will return to Triple-A, where he's slashing .342/.432/.493 with four stolen bases, 12 runs scored, two home runs and 14 RBI in 88 plate appearances.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Getting day off

    Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Thanks to Josh Rojas (toe) being on the shelf all season, Sosa has taken hold of a near-everyday role in the White Sox infield, starting in 20 of the team's first 23 games. Sosa will take a seat Wednesday for just the fourth time in 2025, and unless he's used off the bench, he'll put his season-long eight-game hit streak on hold.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Headed back to Triple-A

    The Athletics optioned Muncy to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

    Muncy made the A's Opening Day roster after producing a .289 average in spring training. He's struggled at the plate in the majors with a .176/.211/.279 slash line with one home run, four RBI and a 29.6 percent strikeout rate in 71 plate appearances, but Muncy could return to the big club if there is a need of depth in the infield. The move corresponds with the Athletics selecting Nick Kurtz's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Goes deep in win

    Torres went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Padres.

    Torres got the scoring started for Detroit, mashing his second home run of the season two batters into the game. The infielder has fit in nicely with the Tigers, as he's recorded at least one hit in 10 of his 13 appearances so far this season, and he's sporting a healthy .283 batting average to go along with a .748 OPS.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Absent from Houston lineup

    Rodgers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Rodgers started the first two games of the series but will take a seat in Wednesday's finale. Mauricio Dubon is at second base and batting eighth for the Astros.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Exiting starting nine

    Massey is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Rockies.

    Massey has been one of the worst-hitting regulars in baseball this season and has been particularly brutal over the last two weeks, going 5-for-39 with a 10:1 K:BB across his last 41 plate appearances. Cavan Biggio is handling second base for the Royals on Wednesday.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Getting rest Wednesday

    Campbell is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    It appears to be a routine day off for Campbell, who has now started 23 of Boston's first 26 games this season. The Red Sox are going with Romy Gonzalez at second base and in the No. 7 spot in the batting order Wednesday.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Twins' Willi Castro: Remains out Wednesday

    Castro (oblique) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Castro hasn't played in a week due to a right oblique injury, although indications are that he will not require a trip to the 10-day injured list. Luke Keaschall will start at second base and Brooks Lee will cover third base for the Twins.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Twins' Willi Castro: Takes indoor batting practice

    Castro (oblique) took indoor batting practice prior to Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

    Castro admitted Tuesday that he doesn't feel 100 percent while he works through a right oblique injury, but he and Twins manager Rocco Baldelli are confident Castro can avoid a stint on the injured list. The oblique flares up when the switch hitter bats left-handed, so it's possible he returns only to hit right-handed initially.
