  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Homers to extend hitting streak

    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Orioles.

    Lowe accounted for the Rays' only run of Sunday's game with a leadoff home run in the ninth inning. The long ball extended his hitting streak to 16 games, during which he's gone deep five times while tallying 13 RBI and 16 runs scored.

  • Adrian Pinto 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Adrian Pinto: Shut down at High-A

    High-A Vancouver placed Pinto on its 7-day injured list May 16 due to an unspecified injury.

    The 22-year-old second baseman had been raking for Vancouver prior to being shelved with the injury, slashing .284/.376/.608 with seven home runs and three stolen bases in just 85 plate appearances. Listed at 5-foot-6 and 156 pounds, Pinto generates a surprising amount of power, but durability is starting to become a concern for him; he's now spent multiple months on the IL for four consecutive seasons.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Homers, drives in four

    Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, four total RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 12-5 win over the A's.

    Chisholm opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo shot off Luis Severino before extending New York's lead to 4-0 in the third with a bases-clearing triple. The 27-year-old Chisholm is up to 13 homers this year, with three coming in his last four games. He's slashing .242/.336/.495 with 35 RBI, 31 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 220 plate appearances this season.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Not in Sunday's lineup

    LeMahieu is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    LeMahieu started the previous three games and will receive Sunday off after going 3-for-10 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored. Oswald Peraza will take over at the keystone Sunday for the Yankees.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Idle versus lefty

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

    With southpaw Matthew Liberatore on the bump for the Cardinals, Schneemann will join fellow left-handed hitters Bo Naylor, Kyle Manzardo and Nolan Jones on the bench. Angel Martinez will replace Schneemann as the Guardians' starting second baseman.

  • David Hamilton SS | MIL

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: On bench again Sunday

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

    Hamilton has now hit the bench in four of the Red Sox's last five matchups, with Boston facing three lefties and two righties during that stretch. The Red Sox have continued to rotate a number of players at second base, as Romy Gonzalez, Marcelo Mayer (personal) and Nick Sogard have also seen starts at the position within the past week. Mayer could end up settling in as the primary option at the keystone when Alex Bregman (quadriceps) returns from the injured list and steps back in as the Red Sox's everyday third baseman.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Goes deep again Saturday

    Torres went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Twins.

    Torres hit his second home run in the last three days, giving him four long balls this month and nine total for the season. The infielder's power surge is notable, as his four June home runs have come across 25 games, while he had five long balls in his previous 46 contests. At this rate, last year's mark of 15 home runs with the Yankees is well within reach, and Torres could reach the 20-homer plateau for the fifth time in his career if he stays dialed in.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Delivers key blow in win

    Semien went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Seattle.

    Semien's bases-loaded single in the 10th inning gave the Rangers a walk-off win. It was the third consecutive game with an RBI for Semien, who is slashing .312/.365/.527 with 14 RBI during 24 games in June.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Engaging in baseball activity

    Bazzana (oblique) began baseball activities last week at the Guardians' spring training complex in Arizona, MLB.com reports.

    The first overall pick in 2024 is still "a few weeks away" from game action, per Guardians team president Chris Antonetti. At the time of his injury and placement on the 7-day injured list May 21, the club estimated an 8-to-10 week timeline for Bazzana's return.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Three more hits Saturday

    Holliday went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's 11-3 loss to the Rays.

    The 21-year-old continues to tease a breakout. Holliday has banged out multiple hits in four of the last eight games, a stretch in which he's batting .288 (15-for-52) with two homers, two steals, four runs and six RBI. With Jordan Westburg (finger) having trouble staying healthy, Holliday has gotten a chance to settle into a full-time job, and he could be poised for a big second half of the season.
