  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Reinstated, starting at third

    Rojas (toe) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start at third base and bat seventh Sunday versus the Astros.

    Rojas has been sidelined since he fractured his right big toe in mid-March, but he's ready to make his debut for the White Sox after a three-game rehab assignment. The 30-year-old had an underwhelming .225/.304/.336 slash line with eight homers and 10 steals in 143 games in Seattle last year, but he inked a one-year, $3.5 million deal with Chicago in January and is expected to see regular action between second base and the hot corner now that he's healthy.

  • David Hamilton SS | MIL

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Starting at short Sunday

    Hamilton will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's series finale against the Twins, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Hamilton moves from second base to shortstop with Kristian Campbell returning from rib discomfort that cost him three games. Hamilton went 5-for-11 with a double, an RBI, three steals and three runs while filling in for Campbell, and he's been rewarded with a fourth straight start, this time filling in for a slumping Trevor Story.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Showing signs of life at plate

    Paris went 1-for-3 with two RBI in a 5-2 win against Detroit on Saturday.

    Paris plated a pair of runs with a sixth-inning single for his first RBI since April 9 -- a span of 18 games. After a scorching start to the season, the 23-tear-old went into a major funk, batting just .111 with a 48.3 percent strikeout rate during his slump. Paris has shown small signs of emerging from the cold spell over his past two contests, going 2-for-6 with a double, though he's also struck out three times. Despite the lack of production, Paris has managed to hold onto a near-everyday spot in the Angels' lineup, but it remains to be seen whether his role will change when Yoan Moncada (thumb) is ready to return from the injured list.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Rejoining lineup Sunday

    Campbell (ribs) is starting at second base and batting cleanup Sunday against the Twins, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    The 22-year-old sat out the past three games due to rib discomfort, but he's ready to go for Sunday's series finale versus Minnesota. Campbell has been a force at the plate in his first 29 MLB games with four homers, two steals and a .301/.407/.495 slash line in 123 plate appearances.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Taking seat Sunday

    Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Southpaw Garrett Crochet is taking the hill for Boston, so Julien will remain on the bench for a second straight game. Brooks Lee will cover second base while Julien sits.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Twins' Kody Clemens: Smacks first homer of 2025

    Clemens went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over Boston.

    Clemens, who started at second base and batted seventh, gave the Twins a two-run lead in the sixth inning, when he took Hunter Dobbins deep to right field for a two-run homer. It was Clemens' first home run of the season, and he's started in three of the Twins' last four games due to injuries to Willi Castro (oblique), Matt Wallner (hamstring), Luke Keaschall (forearm) and Royce Lewis (hamstring).

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Plays hero with late-inning homers

    Schneemann went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Getting the start at second base and batting sixth with Jose Ramirez (ankle) needing the day off, Schneemann did his best J-Ram impression in his place. With the Guardians down 3-0 heading into the eighth inning, the 28-year-old utility player took Chad Green for a solo shot before launching a grand slam off Yimi Garcia in the ninth. Schneemann has seen his playing time pick up in recent weeks and has taken advantage, and he's now slashing .276/.344/.552 through 24 games with four homers, eight runs and nine RBI.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Could play Sunday

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora believes Campbell (ribs) will be able to play Sunday, MLB.com reports.

    Cora hoped Campbell would be able to play Saturday, but he was instead held out for a third consecutive game due to rib discomfort. David Hamilton has filled at second base for all three contests.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Back in Saturday's lineup

    Torres (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting third against the Angels on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Torres did not start in Friday's series opener after tweaking his hamstring against the Angels on Thursday, and one day off has been enough for him to return to the lineup. He's started the season slashing .300/.360/.475 with four stolen bases, 13 runs scored, four home runs and 15 RBI in 89 plate appearances.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Resting against lefty

    Holliday isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    With left-hander Kris Bubic due to start on the bump for Kansas City, the left-handed bat of Holliday will stay put in the dugout. Jorge Mateo will pick up a start at second base instead and bat ninth.
