  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Day off Friday

    Holliday is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Holliday will grab a seat as the Reds send southpaw Andrew Abbott to the bump. Jorge Mateo is getting the start at second base and batting ninth for the Orioles.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Solo shot against Baltimore

    Schneemann went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Orioles.

    Schneemann got the Guardians on the board in the third inning when he took the first pitch he saw from Tomoyuki Sugano deep to center field for a 395-foot solo homer. It was Schneemann's second home run of the season, and the 28-year-old has gone 5-for-11 with one homer and two RBI over his last three games.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Bound for big leagues

    The Twins plan to select Keaschall's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    With the Twins currently dealing with injuries to Royce Lewis (hamstring), Willi Castro (oblique) and Carlos Correa (wrist), the team will call upon Keaschall to provide a healthy body capable of playing in the infield. The 22-year-old prospect has only started at second base (and DH) in the minors this year, though he also has a bit of experience at first and in center field. He owns a .727 OPS with five RBI, eight runs scored and four stolen bases through 14 Triple-A contests this year and will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

  • Coco Montes 2B | TB

    Rays' Coco Montes: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Rays optioned Montes to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    He's clearing out to make room on the active roster for Richie Palacios (finger), who was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday. Montes is 2-for-10 at the dish during his brief time with the big club in 2025.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | NYY

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Drawing third start of season

    Schuemann will start at third base and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the White Sox.

    Schuemann has the ability to play all over the infield and outfield, but with the Athletics having enjoyed generally good health so far this season from their position players, the 27-year-old utility man hasn't been able to pick up meaningful playing time. He'll be starting Thursday for just the third time in the Athletics' first 19 games.

  • 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 | MIL

    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).
