Will Wilson 2B | CLE
Guardians' Will Wilson: Called up, starting Sunday
The Guardians recalled Wilson from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, and he'll start at second base and bat seventh against the Tigers.
Wilson will be up with the big club for the second time this season, taking the roster spot of Lane Thomas (foot). Wilson could be limited to a short-side platoon role during his latest stint in the majors, but he gets one of the toughest such assignments possible Sunday against Tarik Skubal.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Limited to bench role Sunday
Torres (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Torres was removed after the top of the first inning of Saturday's 1-0 win following a collision as he slid into second base, but he sustained nothing more than a bruise. According to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, Torres acknowledged that he experienced some soreness after the game but felt better upon reporting to the ballpark Sunday. The Tigers are keeping him out of the lineup as a precaution, but he should be available to pinch hit in the series finale.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Battling shoulder issue
Chisholm, who is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets, said he's been dealing with a shoulder injury for about three weeks, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
The 27-year-old indicated that the injury is more bothersome when throwing than hitting, and he'll get a couple days to rest thanks to Monday's team off day. The injury can help explain Chisholm's especially poor defense of late, as he's committed five errors in the past 10 games. Oswald Peraza will fill in at the hot corner Sunday for the Yankees.

Chad Stevens 2B | LAA
Angels' Chad Stevens: Drawing fourth straight start
Stevens will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Since calling Stevens up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, the Angels have been giving the 26-year-old regular playing time in the infield while Christian Moore (thumb), Yoan Moncada (knee) and Chris Taylor (hand) are all on the shelf. Stevens will pick up his fourth straight start Sunday after going 1-for-8 with four strikeouts through his first three big-league games. He'll likely see his opportunities dwindle once the Angels' infield gets healthy.

Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Out with ankle sprain
The Blue Jays placed Gimenez on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left ankle sprain.
The second baseman initially suffered the ankle injury Wednesday and was sent for an MRI after aggravating the injury in Friday's 4-3 win over the Angels. The severity of the sprain has yet to be disclosed, but Gimenez will be sidelined through the All-Star break, at a minimum. Joey Loperfido was called up from Triple-A Buffalo to fill the open spot on the 26-man roster, but Davis Schneider, Will Wagner and/or Leo Jimenez could be the main beneficiaries from a playing-time standpoint while Gimenez sidelined.

Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE
Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Begins rehab assignment
Bazzana (oblique) started at second base and went 0-for-2 for the Guardians' Arizona Complex League affiliate Saturday.
Bazzana began his rehab assignment after suffering an oblique injury in mid-May. He played just four innings in the field, and Cleveland has little incentive to rush the recovery of the first overall draft pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. Prior to the injury, the 22-year-old Bazzana posted a .252/.362/.433 slash line with four home runs, 17 RBI, eight steals and 29 runs across 33 games for Double-A Akron.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Powers offense in Colorado
Sosa went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI and two runs in Saturday's 10-3 win against the Rockies.
Sosa entered the game in a bit of a slump with just four hits in his previous 22 at-bats, but he delivered his fourth three-hit game of the campaign Saturday while launching his seventh homer. The 25-year-old has been decently productive in a bad lineup through 73 games this year with a .275 average, 27 RBI and 24 runs, though his minuscule 2.6 percent walk rate has resulted in a .294 OBP and .713 OPS.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Belts 15th homer
Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk against the Mets in a loss Saturday.
Chisholm put the Yankees on the board with a 387-foot solo shot in the first inning, The veteran third baseman has now gone deep five times over his past 10 games, compiling 10 RBI and scoring seven runs during that span. Chisholm has been quite productive when healthy this season, registering a .245/.341/.500 slash line, 15 home runs, 38 RBI, 34 runs and 10 stolen bases over just 59 contests.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Removed as precaution
Torres (neck) suggested after Saturday's 1-0 win over the Guardians that he will be fine forward, and manager A.J. Hinch confirmed that Torres was taken out in the first inning as a precaution, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Torres took an elbow from Brayan Rocchio to the neck during a slide at second base and it unsettled him, but the infielder appears to have sustained only a minor injury. Torres is hitting .309 with four home runs, 18 runs, 15 RBI and zero steals over his last 25 games.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Suffers neck contusion
Torres exited Saturday's game against the Guardians with a neck contusion.
Brayan Rocchio's elbow made contact with Torres' head/neck area while Torres was sliding into second base Saturday. Trey Sweeney replaced Torres with Javier Baez sliding to second base. Torres should be considered day-to-day for now.
