  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Grabbing seat Wednesday

    Keith is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    The left-handed-hitting Keith will get a day off as the Brewers send southpaw Jose Quintana to the hill. Spencer Torkelson will be at first base for the Tigers.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Back in lineup Wednesday

    Rodgers (hip) will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals.

    It's Rodgers' first start in a week, as he's been dealing with a hip issue. He did make one pinch-hitting appearance during that stretch and is well enough to return to the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Out of lineup again Tuesday

    Rodgers (hip) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in St. Louis, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Rodgers hasn't started a game since April 9 because of a left hip injury. He did appear as a pinch hitter in Monday's game and presumably will be available off the bench again Tuesday. Mauricio Dubon is starting at second base Tuesday for the third game in a row.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Getting run in leadoff spot

    Julien will start at second base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's contest against the Mets.

    It marks the third straight game that Julien has batted leadoff and the eighth game in a row that he's been in the lineup. Previous leadoff man Matt Wallner is hitting third for the Twins on Tuesday.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Baldwin is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

    Baldwin has been serving in a super-utility role for the White Sox but will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. He's seen most of his action in the corner-outfield spots lately, but Chicago will go with Michael Taylor in left field and Joshua Palacios in right field Tuesday.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Sitting versus lefty

    Holliday is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

    With lefty Logan Allen on the mound for Cleveland, Holliday is taking a seat, and Jorge Mateo is making the start at second base and batting ninth for Baltimore. Holliday has received just nine plate appearances against left-handed pitching this season, registering a pair of singles, two RBI and a 1:3 BB:K. Holliday should draw back into the lineup Wednesday against right-hander Gavin Williams.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Enters as pinch hitter

    Rodgers (hip) went 0-for-1 Monday against the Cardinals.

    Rodgers has been sidelined for four straight games with a hip issue, though he has done some defensive work before games and the team remains confident he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. He entered Monday's game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning while serving as the designated hitter. Though he didn't hit the field, Rodgers' involvement was another positive sign that his return to the lineup may not be far off.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Supplies lone offense

    Campbell started in center field and went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 16-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Campbell's offense was the lone bright spot in an otherwise embarrassing night for the Red Sox. They committed one official error, but there were a couple of hits that could have been ruled errors and misplays in the field, including by Campbell, who made his third outfield start. The rookie is doing well offensively, posting a .972 OPS with four doubles, three home runs, six RBI, one steal and 11 runs through 17 games.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Drives in three Monday

    Torres went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 9-1 win over the Brewers.

    Torres walked and scored to start things off in the top of the first inning, then chipped in an RBI groundout and a two-RBI single later in the game. The infielder has only played in five contests so far, as he missed some time due to an oblique strain, but he's gotten at least one hit every time he's been in the lineup. Overall, Torres is batting .389 with a 1.032 OPS, and a big campaign could be in store if he stays healthy the rest of the way.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Still sitting Monday

    Rodgers (hip) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Rodgers will be on the bench for the fourth straight game while he contends with a sore left hip, paving the way for Mauricio Dubon to make his third start during that stretch. According to Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle, manager Joe Espada said that Rodgers was able to field some grounders Saturday, which suggests that the Astros are viewing the veteran infielder as day-to-day and remain optimistic that he'll avoid a trip to the injured list.
