Pablo Reyes RF | SD
Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Starts at shortstop
Reyes started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Angels.
Reyes got the start after the Red Sox placed primary shortstop Trevor Story on the 10-day injured list with a dislocated left shoulder. The fill-in shortstop had an issue during the Angels' two-run sixth-inning; Reyes was unable to get the ball out of his glove in time to get a force-out at second base that would have ended the inning. It's not clear if he's the long-term solution to replace Story, who could have a lengthy absence, as the Red Sox summoned David Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | TOR
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: One hit in 2024 debut
Sosa went 1-for-3 Saturday against the Royals.
Sosa was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday and was immediately penciled in at second base while hitting seventh. He accounted for one of only three hits by the White Sox, though he's likely to serve primarily as a backup across most of the infield positions. Even if Sosa does find more consistent playing time, he's managed only a .186 average across his first 209 big-league plate appearances.

Jorge Polanco DH | NYM
Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Launches first homer
Polanco went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and an additional RBI during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Brewers.
Polanco is still hitting just .176 on the season but has shown signs of life lately with a hit in each of his past five games, though he's gone just 5-for-20 during that stretch. The 30-year-old is still batting out of the No. 3 spot for now, but he may need to get on track soon to retain that slot.

Luis Rengifo 3B | SD
Angels' Luis Rengifo: Back in action Saturday
Rengifo (head) is starting at second base Saturday against the Red Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Rengifo has been sidelined for the past few days after leaving Wednesday's contest due to lightheadedness. The issue has seemingly subsided ahead of Saturday's contest, so the 27-year-old will give Brandon Drury a breather and look to tally a hit in his third consecutive game.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Returns to lineup
Lowe (side) is starting at second base and batting second Saturday against the Rockies, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Lowe's side tightness and a left-handed Rockies starter prevented him from starting Friday's contest, but he entered the game as a pinch hitter and made three plate appearances during the loss. Now, with right-hander Ryan Feltner on the mound for Colorado, the 29-year-old infielder will return to the lineup in search of his first hit since March 29.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | TOR
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Recalled from Charlotte
The White Sox recalled Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.
Sosa was officially called up after the White Sox moved Luis Robert (hip) to the 10-day injured list. Sosa had a good start with Charlotte, going 8-for-24 with one home run, three RBI and five walks. He will draw the start at second base and bat seventh in Saturday's game against the Royals.

Adam Frazier 2B | LAA
Royals' Adam Frazier: Not starting Saturday
Frazier is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.
Frazier will sit for the second time in the last three games despite the White Sox sending out right-hander Chris Flexen for Saturday's game. Frazier is batting .263/.333/.263 with two RBI to start the season. Nick Loftin will start at second base and bat seventh in the lineup.
-
Andy Ibanez 2B | NYM
Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Not in starting lineup Saturday
Ibanez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.
Ibanez is batting .308 with three RBI over 15 plate appearances to start the season, but he will take a seat against right-hander Paul Blackburn. Expect Ibanez to start primarily against left-handed pitching while moving around the diamond.

Justin Foscue 2B | TEX
Rangers' Justin Foscue: Makes MLB debut
Foscue entered Friday's game in the eighth inning and went 0-for-1 in a 10-2 win over Houston.
Foscue made his MLB debut late in the blowout, taking over at second base. He was called up from Triple-A Round Rock to help fill the void created by Josh Jung's wrist injury. Foscue, who came up as a second baseman, can also play third and first base.
