  • Ryan Bliss SS | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Fields grounders Saturday

    Bliss (biceps) took grounders on the field ahead of Saturday's game against the Rangers, per MLB.com.

    Bliss is recovering from a left biceps tear, which has kept him sidelined for nearly four months. At this point, the Mariners are hoping that the 25-year-old second baseman will be able to at least return by the end of the season, so he's increasingly unlikely to have any fantasy relevance in 2025. The lefty-hitting Cole Young should continue to serve as Seattle's primary option at the keystone in Bliss' stead.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Reaches 10-homer mark

    Schneemann went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

    Schneemann had gone 14 games without a homer, batting a modest .238 (10-for-42) in that span, but he ended the power drought in the third inning. Schneemann had been seeing a decent share of playing time in right field, but the promotion of C.J. Kayfus will likely lead to Schneemann slipping into more of a utility role. He has primarily played against right-handed pitchers this season, logging just 43 of his 286 plate appearances against southpaws. The 28-year-old hasn't done enough to earn a larger role, slashing .226/.312/.397 with 10 homers, 29 RBI, 35 runs scored, 13 doubles and eight stolen bases across 89 games.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Resting Saturday

    Urias isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Urias will step out of the starting nine Saturday after going 1-for-2 with a walk and an HBP during Friday's contest. While he rests, Max Schuemann will start at second base and bat eighth.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Removed after HBP

    India was removed from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays after getting hit on the left elbow by a pitch, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

    India was able to run for himself and play defense after taking a 95-mile-per-hour fastball off his elbow in the third inning, but he was lifted for a pinch hitter when it was his turn to hit again in the fifth. The Royals will take a closer look at him to determine the severity of the injury, but the fact that he initially remained in the game suggests the damage isn't severe.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Resting Saturday

    Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Dubon's five-game hitting streak was put to an end during Friday's loss, and he'll now retreat to the bench while Jose Altuve starts at the keystone Saturday.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Battling back issues

    Massey (wrist) was pulled off his rehab assignment due to a back injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Massey has already dealt with ankle and wrist problems this season, and his latest back issue will further delay his return from the injured list. He doesn't have a clear return timeline at the moment, but that may change once the Royals get a chance to evaluate him further.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Pulled off assignment

    The Royals returned Massey (wrist) from his rehab assignment Saturday.

    The Royals haven't activated Massey despite returning him from his rehab assignment, which could suggest that he suffered another setback. The 27-year-old initially landed on the IL in June with a sprained left ankle, but a hairline fracture in his right wrist has extended his time on the shelf.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Extends multi-hit game streak

    Sosa went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two RBI during Friday's 6-3 win over the Angels.

    Sosa has been red hot at the plate over the last handful of games, collecting multiple hits in four straight. Over his last four games, the 25-year-old is 9-for-12 (.750 batting average) with two home runs and six RBI. On the season, the young infielder is slashing .282/.308/.436 with 11 home runs, 43 RBI and two steals in 93 games.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Breaks home-run drought Friday

    Frazier went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Frazier gave the Royals a commanding seven-run lead in the ninth, when he took Mason Fluharty deep to right field for a two-run homer. It was Frazier's fourth home run of the season and first since June 1 against the Padres. The veteran outfielder has started in each of the Royals' last four games, and he should continue to see a bump in playing time for as long as Jac Caglianone (hamstring) is on the 10-day injured list.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Doubles in return

    India went 1-for-5 with a double and a run in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    India returned Friday from a one-game absence due to a sore shoulder. He got on base in the third inning on a double and was brought home when Bobby Witt smacked a three-run homer off Kevin Gausman. India has struggled at the plate in 12 games since the All-Star break, going 7-for-46 (.152) with eight runs, four doubles, one homer and eight RBI.
