  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Sosa started the previous 20 games but will receive Sunday off after going 2-for-12 with two RBI and five strikeouts in the past three contests. Miguel Vargas will shift to first base, opening up the hot corner for Curtis Mead.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Hitting bench Sunday

    Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Torres will receive a breather after starting five straight games and going 5-for-17 (.294) with one double, six walks, four runs and two RBI. Javier Baez will cover second base in Torres' stead.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Resting Sunday

    Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Holliday had started 22 straight games, so he's likely just receiving a routine day off as Baltimore wraps up its series with Houston. Luis Vazquez will pick up a start at second base.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Rays' Tristan Gray: Sitting after three straight starts

    Gray is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Gray started in each of the previous three contests and went 4-for-11 with a home run, a double, a walk and two RBI, but he may have to settle for a part-time role moving forward. The Rays will get Yandy Diaz (hamstring) back Sunday following a one-game absence, and top prospect Carson Williams is likely to get an extended look at shortstop after getting called up from Triple-A Durham on Friday. Even with Ha-Seong Kim (back) and Taylor Walls (groin) on the injured list, Gray lacks a clear path to everyday playing time in the middle infield.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Begins rehab assignment

    Rodgers (concussion) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, MLB.com reports.

    Rodgers has been sidelined since June 18 with an oblique injury, though he's currently working back from a concussion and nasal fracture that he suffered while on a previous rehab assignment. Rodgers is eligible to return from the injured list at any point, and it appears that he is closing in on his activation.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Getting back on track

    Altuve went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored Saturday against the Orioles.

    Altuve entered the start of Houston's weekend series against Baltimore having just three hits across his last 28 at-bats and eight starts. He's turned his performance around in three games since, going 5-for-14 with three runs scored and two doubles. Though there are signs of Altuve's skills slipping in his age-35 campaign, he has still maintained a .343 wOBA and 121 wRC+ across 539 plate appearances.

  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Hits first career homer in loss

    Jackson went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Astros.

    Jackson launched a 439-foot blast in the fourth inning before adding an RBI single in the eighth. The 25-year-old has made an immediate impact with the Orioles, slashing .339/.361/.492 with five extra-base hits, nine RBI and eight runs across 61 plate appearances while starting 15 of 20 games since his debut Aug. 1.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Shelved with bruised foot

    Texas placed Semien on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a left foot contusion.

    Semien has been out of the lineup since Thursday, when he fouled a ball off his left foot during a game against the Royals. Though the veteran infielder is slated to meet with a foot doctor Sunday, the Rangers decided not to wait until the results of that meeting to place him on the IL. The transaction made room on the 26-man active roster for outfielder Adolis Garcia (ankle), who was reinstated from the IL. Semien's everyday role at second base could be assumed by a combination of Ezequiel Duran, Josh Smith and/or Cody Freeman, the latter of whom will start at the position Saturday versus Cleveland.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Meeting with specialist Sunday

    Semien (foot) is slated to meet with a foot doctor Sunday and will not play Saturday, Matthew Postins of SI.com reports.

    Semien hasn't played since being removed from Thursday's contest against Kansas City a few innings after fouling a ball off his foot. The veteran infielder has so far had an X-Ray, CAT scan and MRI, with results of the latter coming back inconclusive. Semien's medical evaluation should provide more clarity about the specifics of his injury and a return timeline. It's unlikely that he'll play in any capacity this weekend.

  • 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.
