  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Swipes two bags in loss Thursday

    Chisholm went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases in a loss to Houston on Thursday.

    Chisholm's speed was on display throughout the contest -- his one hit was an infield single, and he swiped second base following that knock and after a fifth-inning walk. The veteran infielder has stolen at least one base in three consecutive contests and has recorded seven thefts across his past 10 games. That's pushed Chisholm up to 38 stolen bases on the season, two shy of his career-high mark and second overall in the majors this year.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Placed on concussion IL

    The Royals placed Massey on the 7-day concussion injured list Thursday.

    Massey sat out Wednesday's game after he fell and hit his head while making a throw to first base during Tuesday's contest, and he'll officially remain out of action for at least a week after being diagnosed with a concussion. Tyler Tolbert figures to take over as Kansas City's primary second baseman while Massey is sidelined, and Josh Rojas will come up from Triple-A to replenish the team's infield depth.

  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Fills box score in victory Wednesday

    Chisholm went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a 9-3 win over the Astros on Wednesday.

    Chisholm was a key part of a Yankees offensive barrage that included 13 hits and nine runs. After beginning August with a .148 batting average over his first 17 games, Chisholm has come alive at the plate of late, collecting three multi-hit efforts over his past four contests and slashing .571/.625/.929 with one homer, two doubles, four RBI and three stolen bases during that span. He's been as good on the basepaths as ever this year with 36 thefts through 123 games, though Chisholm's current .708 OPS is on pace for a career-worst mark (excluding his brief 21-contest cup of coffee during his first taste of the big leagues in 2020).

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Knocks in winning run

    Bazzana went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

    Bazzana was instrumental in a late-game rally that saw the Guardians score three runs in the final two innings. He singled and scored in the eighth inning and then drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth with a sacrifice fly. The rookie's been on a roll of late, going 10-for-27 (.370) with two doubles, one steal, six RBI and five runs scored over the last seven games.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Jeff McNeil: Sitting Wednesday

    McNeil is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday.

    McNeil will take a breather after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Minnesota. Tommy White will start at first base and bat fifth against Twins southpaw Connor Prielipp.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Not available to start Wednesday

    Massey (head) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Massey will need at least one day off following his removal from Tuesday's 5-3 win after falling and hitting his head while making a throw to first base. Per MLB.com, Massey showed improvement after exiting the game, and the Royals haven't indicated that he's exhibiting any symptoms of a concussion. Tyler Tolbert will fill in for Massey at second base in the middle contest of the three-game series.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Taking on everyday role

    Moore will start at second base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

    Moore will draw his fifth start in as many days at the keystone following his promotion from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. He's gotten on base just three times over the last four games, though he's provided a solo home run and a double during that stretch. Moore should have a clear path to an everyday role in the infield while Nolan Schanuel (intercostal) is stuck on the injured list.

  • Cole Young 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Cole Young: Rare breather Wednesday

    Young is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Phillies.

    It's only the second day off all season for the left-handed-hitting Young, who will grab a seat as the Phillies send southpaw Jesus Luzardo to the bump. Brock Rodden will slot in at second base in Young's stead.

  • Justin Foscue 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Pops homer in loss

    Foscue went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 11-7 loss to the White Sox.

    Foscue launched his ninth home run of the season as part of the Rangers' three-run sixth inning. The right-handed-hitting Foscue typically starts against left-handers and owns a .304/.388/.588 slash line against southpaws in 2026.

  • Vaughn Grissom 1B | LAA

    Angels' Vaughn Grissom: Goes deep twice Tuesday

    Grissom went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three total RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

    Grissom did significant damage against Cleveland's pitching, taking Gavin Williams deep for a two-run homer in the first inning before adding a solo shot off Logan Allen in the fifth. The latter blast restored the Angels' lead at 6-5, but the bullpen couldn't protect it. Tuesday marked Grissom's first multi-homer game of the season and represented an encouraging power display for the 25-year-old, who has gone yard a career-high nine times in 2026.
