  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Two homers in loss

    Semien went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Rays.

    Semien went deep in the fifth and seventh innings to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead. Things unraveled in the ninth for Texas, but Semien continued a productive stretch that has seen him homer three times over the last six games for half of his output on the year. The second baseman is at a .210/.298/.308 slash line, 23 RBI, 21 runs scored and five stolen bases over 62 contests. Considering he has just nine extra-base hits on the year after posting 52 of them in 2024, he is due for a bit more power.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Productive in win

    Chisholm went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base during Thursday's 4-0 win over the Guardians.

    The performance marked Chisholm's second three-hit game in 33 appearances this season and his second multi-hit outing since being activated from the injured list Tuesday. He's up to seven stolen bases this year. In 136 plate appearances, Chisholm is slashing .207/.316/.440 with eight homers, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Out of Thursday's lineup

    LeMahieu isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Cleveland.

    LeMahieu will get a chance to rest his legs Thursday after making four consecutive starts at second base, and he went 5-for-13 with two walks and three RBI during that span. Oswald Peraza will pick up a start at the keystone as a result and bat ninth.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Out of Thursday's lineup

    Urias is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    Urias had manned second base for each of the last five games and 11 of the last 12 tilts for the Athletics, but he will get some rest during Thursday's matinee. Max Schuemann will hold down the keystone and bat eighth.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Could settle in at third base

    Keith, who is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox, recently began taking pregame reps at third base and is now considered an available option at the position, Evan Petzold of The Detroit Free Press reports."Just giving [Keith] different looks on ground balls," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday. "He used to play third base a little bit, so it's not that foreign to him. You may see him there from time to time. We'll see."

    Keith saw the majority of his playing time at third base in the minors, but due to concerns about his throwing after he suffered a labrum injury in his right shoulder in July 2022, he hasn't played the position at all since reaching the big leagues in 2024 and has instead served as a second baseman, first baseman or designated hitter. The Tigers never fully closed the door on Keith getting a look at third base, however, and the 23-year-old appears poised to get an opportunity to prove he can hold up defensively at the hot corner while Detroit looks to extract more offense from the position. Zach McKinstry, Andy Ibanez and Javier Baez have all received double-digit starts at third base this season, but with Ibanez typically being used as a short-side platoon player and with McKinstry and Baez both beginning to see their production at the plate trend down, Keith could represent a notable upgrade. Since May 1, Keith is slashing .293/.333/.500 with three home runs, 13 RBI and 18 runs in 27 games.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Out of Thursday's lineup

    Gimenez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Phillies.

    Gimenez started both of the Blue Jays' first two games upon his activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, but the left-handed hitter will get some rest against tough southpaw Jesus Luzardo. Davis Schneider will cover second base and bat sixth for the Blue Jays.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Absent from lineup

    Keith is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the White Sox.

    Kerry Carpenter will likely be limited to designated-hitter duties for a bit as he overcomes a hamstring issue, which is affecting Keith's playing time. Keith has been absent from the lineup twice in the last three contests after he had started each of the previous seven tilts.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Two hits in Wednesday's win

    Gimenez went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

    He was the only Blue Jay to record multiple hits on the night, as Toronto managed only five knocks in total. Gimenez appears set to be an everyday player now that he's back from the injured list, but his value comes from his glove, not his bat -- Wednesday's performance bumped him above a .200 batting average for the first time since April 20.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Continues to rake in win

    Lowe went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over the Rangers.

    Lowe blasted his 12th homer of the season Wednesday, and he added to a red-hot stretch at the plate recently. Across his last 20 games, the slugging second baseman is batting .359 (28-for-78) with seven homers, six doubles, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored. Lowe has seven multi-hit efforts during this period, also tallying at least one hit in 18 of these contests.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Three hits, stolen base in win

    Schneemann went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Yankees.

    Schneemann extended the Guardians' lead to 3-0 in the first inning with a two-run double before swiping third base for his fourth steal in five attempts this season. It's the first multi-hit game since May 6 for Schneemann -- he entered Wednesday with a .188 average (12-for-64) in his previous 21 games. Overall, the 28-year-old Schneemann is slashing .254/.338/.463 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 19 runs scored across 152 plate appearances this season while serving as Cleveland's primary second baseman.
