  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Twins' Willi Castro: Set to miss at least one more game

    Castro expects to miss at least one or two more games with a sore right wrist, though an X-ray conducted Sunday came back negative, MLB.com reports.

    Castro has dealt with pain in the wrist since Thursday, but it wasn't until Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Brewers that he was forced to miss a game. The super-utility player looks set to remain out of the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Mariners, and he'll be at risk of landing on the injured list if he doesn't show meaningful improvement within the next few days.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Sparks offense in win

    Chisholm went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Orioles.

    Chisholm delivered what proved to be the game-winning double in the eighth inning and came around to score an insurance run later in the frame. The 27-year-old has been productive in June, notching his seventh multi-hit effort in 17 games while tallying seven extra-base hits, 11 RBI and nine runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .242/.345/.467 with 10 home runs, 28 RBI, 26 runs scored and 10 steals across 194 plate appearances.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: On bench against lefty

    Hamilton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    The left-handed-hitting Hamilton appears likely to get regular playing time at second base against right-handed pitching after Boston optioned Kristian Campbell to Triple-A Worcester on Friday, but Hamilton will take a seat Sunday with southpaw Robbie Ray on the hill for the Giants. Though Campbell could end up seeing most of his reps at first base once he's recalled from the minors, Hamilton could still be in danger of fading into a utility role when Alex Bregman (quadriceps) is back from the injured list. Bregman should settle back in as the Red Sox's everyday third baseman once he's activated, which could result in Marcelo Mayer shifting over to the keystone.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Hitting bench Sunday

    Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Muncy will hit the bench after a stretch of 13 consecutive starts during which he slashed .217/.275/.413 with three home runs, one stolen base and nine RBI. Gio Urshela will get the start at third base Sunday, but Muncy should serve as the primary option at the position until one of Zack Gelof (ribs) or Miguel Andujar (oblique) is ready to return from the injured list.

  • Cole Young SS | SEA

    Mariners' Cole Young: On bench Sunday

    Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    Young will take a seat after he went 0-for-6 with three strikeouts in the first two contests of the series. Jorge Polanco will replace Young at the keystone.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Twins' Willi Castro: Out Sunday with sore wrist

    The Twins scratched Castro from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers due to right wrist soreness, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

    Castro had initially been slated to start in left field and bat third, but DaShawn Keirsey will end up replacing him in the lineup. Though Castro is a switch hitter, the injury is to his throwing hand, so he may have been compromised in the field had the Twins elected to keep him in the lineup. The super-utility player can be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Mariners.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Settling in at 3B, leadoff spot

    Keith will start at third base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Keith will set the table for the Tigers for the fourth straight game, as manager A.J. Hinch has elevated the 24-year-old and his .832 June OPS in the lineup. Additionally, Hinch appears increasingly comfortable using Keith at third base, a position he hadn't played since 2023. Keith looks poised to gain third base eligibility in most fantasy leagues before the All-Star break if his current usage holds.

  • Justin Foscue 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Joining big-league club

    The Rangers recalled Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    Foscue will fill Jake Burger's (oblique) spot on the 26-man roster after Burger was placed on the 10-day injured list. Foscue will be making his 2025 MLB debut if he gets into a game. He slashed .269/.360/.487 with 10 home runs in 229 plate appearances with Round Rock while playing first and second base.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Resumes June surge

    India went 3-for-5 with a double and a three-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Padres.

    His fifth-inning shot off Nick Pivetta gave the Royals a 4-0 lead. It was India's fourth homer of the season, and three of them have come in his last 15 games -- a stretch in which the 28-year-old super-utility player is slashing .279/.308/.475 with nine RBI and 10 runs despite suffering a partial shoulder dislocation a week ago.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Taking Saturday off

    LeMahieu isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

    LeMahieu will get a chance to rest his legs after going 2-for-4 with a double during Friday's loss. Oswald Peraza will start at the keystone and bat ninth in LeMahieu's place.
