  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Hitless in return

    Rodgers went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Thursday against the Cardinals.

    Rodgers was in the lineup for the first time since April 9 after dealing with a hip issue. He retook the starting job at second base and hit sixth, also pushing Mauricio Dubon back to the bench.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Bright spot for White Sox

    Sosa went 2-for-4 with a double Wednesday against the Athletics.

    Sosa's overall numbers aren't particularly impressive, but he quietly hit well during the White Sox's home stand. Across five starts, he's gone 6-for-19 with a pair of doubles, two RBI and two runs scored. Sosa can't be counted on for much power, but he should remain a regular so long as Josh Rojas (toe) is sidelined.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Homers in loss

    Arias started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-1 loss to the Orioles.

    Arias' third-inning solo blast was Cleveland's lone offense. It was his fourth home run in 16 games -- third in the last five -- and has now surpassed the total he compiled in 2024 over 53 contests. Arias has started mostly at second base (10 starts) along with drawing four more at shortstop and two at third base. He also has experience in the outfield, having appeared at each position in 2024.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Accounts for team's only run

    Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Athletics.

    Baldwin gave the White Sox an early lead with his solo shot in the third inning, but that was the only run the team ended up scoring. It was the second long ball and eighth RBI of the season through 15 games for Baldwin, tying his total in each category across 33 contests last year. Baldwin has also shown improvement with a .267 batting average so far after hitting just .211 last season, though he continues to be averse to walks with just one free pass in 48 plate appearances.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Smacks first homer in win

    Hamilton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

    Although Hamilton got a hold of a Zack Littell fastball for a long ball in the third inning, the 335-foot solo shot wouldn't have left the yard in any other MLB ballpark, per Statcast. Wednesday still marked the first homer of the year for Hamilton, who's off to a miserable start at the plate while slashing .083/.120/.208 with two RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases over 24 at-bats (10 games).

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Smacks grand slam in win

    Holliday went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Guardians.

    Holliday provided all the offense Baltimore would need with a second-inning grand slam off Gavin Williams. It's the second grand slam of the 21-year-old Holliday's career and his second home run this season. Holliday, who had been stuck in a 0-for-17 slump in the five games prior to Wednesday, is now batting .216 with a .623 OPS, eight RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base through his first 52 plate appearances this season.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Heading to bench Wednesday

    Massey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    After going 1-for-20 at the dish while starting in each of the last five games, Massey will get a day off to clear his head. Tyler Tolbert will pick up his first career MLB start in place of Massey, covering second base while batting eighth.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Twins' Willi Castro: Exits with oblique injury

    Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that Castro left Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Mets in the eighth inning due to tightness in his right oblique, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Castro started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 with a double before departing with the injury, which Baldelli described as minor. With Carlos Correa dealing with a hand injury, the Twins may need to call up another infielder if Castro isn't available for the team's next game Friday in Atlanta.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Sitting versus lefty

    Lowe is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Lowe started Opening Day versus a lefty but has been absent from the lineup each of the three times the Rays have faced a southpaw since then. Coco Montes will play second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's series finale.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Absent from Wednesday's lineup

    Campbell is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Tampa Bay, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    It's a routine day off for Campbell, who had started each of the previous eight contests. David Hamilton will start at second base and bat eighth for the Red Sox in Wednesday's series finale.
