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 LF | COL
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.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
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.

Christian Moore 2B | LAA
Angels' Christian Moore: Belts first career homer
Moore went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Astros.
The rookie second baseman took Bryan King deep in the seventh inning to tie the game at 2-2. It was Moore's first career homer, and the eighth overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft has started six of eight games since his promotion, batting .182 (4-for-22) with a 1:7 BB:K as he gets his bearings in the majors.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Smacks two-run homer late
Keith went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 14-8 loss to Tampa Bay.
Keith cut into the Rays' lead with a two-run long ball to right field in the ninth inning. Keith has had an up-and-down 2025 campaign, but he has been better in June with a .279/.360/.488 slash line with three doubles, two home runs and eight RBI in 50 plate appearances. He has yet to log a steal after swiping seven bags across 148 games in 2024.

David Hamilton SS | MIL
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Pops homer in win
Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-5 win over the Giants.
Hamilton got the Red Sox on the board with his third-inning homer. He's poised to see more consistent playing time moving forward -- he's started four straight games at second base and no longer has to worry about competing with Kristian Campbell, who was demoted to the minors to accommodate the return of Wilyer Abreu (oblique). Hamilton isn't safe in the lineup by any means -- he's slashing just .186/.218/.309 on the year with three homers, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 103 plate appearances. He had gone 0-for-14 over 12 games prior to Friday's multi-hit effort. At some point, Alex Bregman (quadriceps) will return from the injured list to play third base, which likely means Marcelo Mayer will get starts at second.

Jackson Holliday SS | BAL
Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Late add to lineup
Holliday is now batting leadoff and playing DH on Friday against the Yankees, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Holliday was initially scheduled for a night off Friday, but Adley Rutschman (abdomen) was scratched, leading to Holliday filling in at DH. It'll be just his second start at the position this season.
