Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 6-1 victory against Boston on Sunday.

Chisholm struck out in each of his first three plate appearances, but he made the most of the lone time he put the ball in play, smacking a three-run homer to right-center field in the eighth inning to turn a two-run lead into a five-run advantage. The veteran infielder didn't go deep until his 24th game of the campaign, but he's picked up the power pace since then, notching eight long balls across 38 contests since April 23. However, his season OPS still stands at a modest .703, which is well below his .813 mark during the regular season last year.

Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-0 win over Cleveland.

Foscue got the rout started early with a two-run home run in the first inning. This was just his second start in the last eight games, both when the Rangers faced a left-hander. The semi-regular role he had at second base went away when the Rangers added free agent Nicky Lopez. Now, with Corey Seager back from the injured list, Ezequiel Duran will be the primary starter at the keystone.

Grissom (side) is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Sunday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

It'll be the third game in a row that Grissom is not in the lineup due to left side tightness. Oswald Peraza will start at second base and bat out of the cleanup spot in Sunday's series finale.

Altuve is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Athletics on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Altuve will get a rest after going 2-for-6 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in two games since being activated from the 10-day IL on Friday. Nick Allen will start at second base and bat ninth for Sunday's series finale.

Moore has been getting starts at third base and second base as well as in left field with Triple-A Salt Lake.

Moore played exclusively at second base over 53 games during his rookie campaign with the Angels in 2025, but he's broadening his defensive portfolio this season. The 23-year-old has yet to get a call-up to the big leagues during the current campaign, but that opportunity may be coming, as he's posted a .933 OPS with four homers, 32 RBI and six stolen bases along with a 40:44 BB:K over 41 games with Salt Lake. The Angels have been giving Nick Madrigal and Donovan Walton time at third base while Yoan Moncada (knee) has been on the shelf, and Wade Meckler has been the primary left fielder since his promotion. If any of those players go into an extended slump, or if the team simply decides it wants to give another player a look amidst another losing season, Moore could be called up for immediate regular playing time.

Clement went 2-for-4 with a triple, a three-run home run and three total runs scored in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Orioles.

Clement gave the Blue Jays a lead they wouldn't relinquish with a three-run blast in the third inning. The 30-year-old saw his seven-game hitting streak come to an end Friday, but he has still opened June by going 8-for-21 through five contests. For the season, he's slashing .306/.327/.464 with six homers, 25 RBI, 29 runs scored and two steals across 257 plate appearances.

Kiner-Falefa isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Kiner-Falefa has seen an uptick in playing time recently, but he'll get a day off Saturday after going 1-for-15 in four games since the beginning of the month. His absence will allow Anthony Seigler to pick up a start at the keystone while batting eighth.

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

Keaschall will step out of the starting nine Saturday after going 0-for-7 with a walk and two strikeouts through the first two games of the series. Royce Lewis will replace him as Minnesota's second baseman and bat seventh.

Bazzana batted leadoff and went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple and a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Bazzana, who returned to leadoff after a one-game sojourn to cleanup, belted his first career leadoff homer to give Cleveland an early lead. It was his fourth home run in 34 games. He later hit his first triple and stole his ninth base. It didn't take long for Bazzana to adapt to MLB pitching; after going 0-for-12 to begin his career in the majors, he's slashed .319/.381/.522 across his next 113 plate appearances.

The Astros activated Altuve (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Altuve last played May 16 and didn't require a minor-league rehab assignment after suffering a Grade 2 left oblique strain last month. In 42 games this season, Altuve is slashing .245/.326/.380 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 27 runs scored, one stolen base and a 19:35 BB:K across 185 trips to the plate. His .706 OPS is the lowest it's been since the COVID-shortened 2020 season.
