  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Back in lineup Friday

    Keith is starting at first base and batting fifth in Friday's game against the Reds.

    Keith was not in the starting lineup Thursday with Baltimore deploying lefty Keegan Akin as the opener, though he did pinch hit and ultimately receive three at-bats in the contest. The young infielder, who has a .706 OPS for the season, will slot back in as a regular starter Friday against Cincinnati righty Nick Martinez.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Still idle Friday

    Chisholm (groin) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

    Chisholm exited Wednesday's game with tightness in his left groin and will miss a second consecutive game due to the issue, though Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that he hopes the 27-year-old will be available as a pinch hitter, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. In Chisholm's place, Oswald Peraza will play third base and bat eighth.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Kim (shoulder) was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment Thursday due to right hamstring tightness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Kim has yet to play in the majors this season while he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery, but he did begin a rehab assignment late last month and has appeared in 12 games for Triple-A Durham. Across 49 trips to the plate with Durham, Kim is slashing .211/.347/.263 with just two extra-base hits, four RBI, eight runs scored, two stolen bases and an 8:5 BB:K. Kim is expected to resume his rehab stint as soon as next week.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Officially called up

    The Angels selected Moore's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

    Moore, the Angels' first-round pick in 2024, will make his MLB debut Friday, batting ninth and playing second base. The 22-year-old slashed .350/.424/.575 at Salt Lake City in 92 plate appearances and will get an opportunity to seize an everyday role at the keystone with the Halos.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Set for MLB debut

    The Angels plan to select Moore's contract Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Moore was selected in the first round by the Angels in 2024 and has risen through their minor-league system quickly. He has excelled at Triple-A Salt Lake in 2025, slashing .350/.424/.575 across 92 plate appearances. Moore figures to start every day at second base and hit in a prominent spot in the lineup.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Out of Yankees' lineup

    LeMahieu is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Royals.

    It's a regular day of rest for LeMahieu, who had started the previous five tilts and reached base six times in the first two games of the series. Pablo Reyes is at second base and batting eighth as the Yankees try to complete the sweep.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Held out Thursday

    Chisholm (groin) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Kansas City.

    It's not a surprise that Chisholm is sitting out Thursday's series finale after he had to exit Wednesday's game with left groin tightness. The positive news is Chisholm has not been placed on the 10-day injured list and is considered day-to-day at this time. Oswald Peraza will pick up a start at third base for the Yankees.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Cleared for rehab games

    Sosa (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Sosa had expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday, but he'll instead start up a rehab stint. He landed on the shelf in early June with a right hip flexor strain and should be able to rejoin the White Sox after a quick stay in the minors.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Not starting Thursday

    Keith is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

    With Baltimore using lefty Keegan Akin as the opener, Keith will begin the game on the bench, as he's batting just .156 with a .416 OPS against southpaws this year. However, righty Dean Kremer is expected to be the bulk pitcher after Akin departs, so Keith is an option to pinch hit at some point when a more favorable matchup presents itself.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Looking ready at Triple-A

    Moore is slashing .350/.424/.575 with four home runs, three steals and a 27.2 percent strikeout rate in 20 games for Triple-A Salt Lake.

    In something of a surprise move, the Angels sent Moore to pitcher-friendly Double-A Rocket City to begin the season, where he logged a .234/.342/.323 slash line with one home run, five steals and a 27.4 percent strikeout rate in 34 games. He has been much closer to the player fantasy managers stashed to begin the year since getting to Triple-A, even if his .462 BABIP and extreme hitting environments are partially propping up his numbers. Given that the Angels are currently mixing in Luis Rengifo (-1.3 fWAR in 60 games) and Scott Kingery (-0.2 fWAR in six games) at second base, Moore could get the call to the majors any day now.
