  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Lifts homer

    Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-1 win over Baltimore.

    Muncy went yard for the second time in three games, tagging Bryan Baker for a solo shot in the eighth inning. The third baseman spent over a month in Triple-A before being called up June 4, and he's 4-for-17 (.235) with four RBI and six strikeouts since.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Not starting Sunday

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

    Gimenez has gone 4-for-13 with two walks, a double and two runs in four games since coming back from a quadriceps strain, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota. Alan Roden will receive a start in the outfield, pushing Addison Barger back to the hot corner and Ernie Clement to second base.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Idle against righty again

    Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Massey has now started just two of the Royals' last five games against right-handed pitching. Over his last 10 games, Massey is slashing just .154/.185/.154, bringing his OPS down to .479 for the season.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Taking seat Sunday

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Schneemann has made five starts against left-handed pitching this season, but he'll hit the bench Sunday with southpaw Brandon Walter taking the mound for Houston. Will Wilson is stepping in at the keystone and batting ninth for Cleveland in the series finale.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Clubs 13th homer

    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Saturday's 11-10 loss to the Marlins in extras.

    Lowe hit his 13th home run on the season Saturday and knocked in his 34th RBI of the year in the process. The 30-year-old is on pace to top 30 home runs and 80 RBI, which would be his best season since 2021 -- the last time he was healthy enough to play more than 109 games. He is currently slashing .247/.298/.454 for the campaign.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Stays hot in win

    Semien went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 5-0 victory over the Nationals.

    After going 0-for-4 in the series opener against the Nationals, Semien bounced back Saturday to stay hot at the plate. He struggled mightily in May, slashing just .207/.302/.272 with two extra-base hits and eight RBI, but the second baseman is off to a scorching start to June with a .421/.522/.895 line, five extra-base hits and five RBI through six games. For a Rangers team that has underwhelmed in 2025, a resurgence from the 34-year-old could be a key factor in helping them work their way back into contention.

  • Chris Taylor RF | LAA

    Angels' Chris Taylor: Makes impact off bench in win

    Taylor went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Mariners. He was also hit by two pitches.

    Jorge Soler (groin) was pulled from the game early, so Taylor filled in as the right fielder. He made an impact right away with a second-inning homer and also plated the tying run one frame later. Should Soler miss any time, Taylor would be an option to fill in until Mike Trout is ready to play in right field. Taylor is slashing .220/.258/.356 with one homer, five RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base over 62 plate appearances between the Angels and the Dodgers this season.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Getting rest

    Muncy is out of Saturday's lineup against the Orioles.

    Muncy had started three straight games at third base since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. He's gone 3-for-13 with a home run and five strikeouts and will hit the bench Saturday in favor of Logan Davidson.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Resting Saturday

    Urias is out of Saturday's lineup against the Orioles.

    Urias is sitting for the second time in his last three games and is hitting just .182 across his last 10 starts. Max Schuemann will take over at second base and hit ninth.

  • Chris Taylor RF | LAA

    Angels' Chris Taylor: Absent from Saturday's lineup

    Taylor is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

    Taylor had started three straight games at second base entering Saturday's matchup. However, he'll head to the bench Saturday with Kevin Newman entering the lineup to play third base, shifting Luis Rengifo to second base.
