  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Scores twice in win

    Torres went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

    Occupying his familiar No. 2 spot in the lineup, Torres continued to provide a spark for the Tigers. The veteran infielder has three multi-hit performances across his last six games, and he's slashing .261/.360/.399 overall in 115 contests. The .360 on-base percentage would be a new career best for Torres, driven in part by a 13.2 percent walk rate, which is up from 10 percent in 2024 with the Yankees.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Getting rest vs. lefty

    Chisholm isn't in the starting lineup Saturday against the Red Sox.

    Chisholm has posted a poor .637 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season, and he's beginning on the bench against southpaw Garrett Crochet on Saturday. With Chisholm out of the lineup, Jose Caballero is getting a start at second base for the Yankees.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Pops 25th homer

    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Cardinals.

    Lowe led off the scoring for the Rays in the first inning with his 25th homer of the campaign. Six of those home runs have come in his last 15 starts, raising his slugging percentage to .489 for the season -- his highest mark since the 2021 campaign.

  • Tristan Gray SS | BOS

    Rays' Tristan Gray: Pops first homer

    Gray went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Friday against the Cardinals.

    Gray has spent the majority of the past month in the majors but has primarily been a bench bat. However, with a significant number of injuries across the Rays' depth chart, he's been called upon to start three consecutive games between shortstop and second base. Gray popped his first home run of the season and second of his career in the second inning.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Imaging inconclusive

    Semien (foot) underwent an MRI on Friday that came back inconclusive, MLB.com reports.

    Semien fouled a ball off his foot during the series finale against the Royals on Thursday and was held out of Friday's lineup. He remained in a walking boot and could miss the entire weekend set against the Guardians. Ezequiel Duran started at second base in Semien's place.

  • Ryan Bliss SS | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Nearing rehab assignment

    Bliss (biceps) could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week, Zac Hereth of SeattleSports.com reports.

    The Mariners plan for Bliss to get 40-to-50 at-bats in the minors before activating him from the 60-day injured list. The 25-year-old second baseman appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery from a left biceps tear that's kept him on the shelf since early April, and a return at some point in mid-September isn't out of the question. Once he's cleared to rejoin Seattle, the righty-hitting Bliss figures to work on the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Cole Young at the keystone.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Sitting Friday

    Urias is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

    Urias will be on the bench for a second straight game while Darell Hernaiz starts at second base and bats seventh. Urias hasn't been that productive at the plate since the All-Star break, posting a .546 OPS with five runs, one homer and six RBI across 66 plate appearances.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Sent to Triple-A

    The A's optioned Schuemann to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

    Schuemann made the Opening Day roster, and he's bounced around the infield as needed while making the occasional start in the outfield. However, with Jacob Wilson (forearm) back from the injured list, the Athletics are no longer in need of Schuemann's services. The 28-year-old has slashed .200/.303/.288 with a 20:33 BB:K in 188 plate appearances this season.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Absent from Friday's lineup

    Semien (foot) is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Friday.

    Semien fouled a ball off his left foot during Thursday's game against the Royals and was diagnosed with a foot contusion. Per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, Semien is in jeopardy of missing the entire weekend series, so his absence from Friday's lineup isn't surprising. Ezequiel Duran will draw the start at the keystone and bat eighth.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Could be held out all weekend

    Semien (foot) could miss the entire weekend series against the Guardians and a trip to the 10-day injured list is possible, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Semien had to be lifted from Thursday's game versus the Royals due to a left foot contusion after fouling a ball off the area. He has not been diagnosed with any fractures, but evidently the discomfort could keep him out a handful of days or longer. Ezequiel Duran, Cody Freeman and Josh Smith and Michael Helman are options to play second base for the Rangers while Semien is out.
