Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Productive in easy win
Torres went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 13-1 win over the White Sox.
Torres was productive from the No. 2 spot in the lineup, though he and every other Detroit player was overshadowed by No. 3 hitter Kerry Carpenter, who crushed three home runs. This was also the 2025 debut for Parker Meadows, who missed the first 60 contests while recovering from a nerve issue. Meadows batted first and delivered a double, a triple, a stolen base and three runs scored. If Torres remains sandwiched between Meadows and Carpenter most days, his fantasy output and the Tigers' offense overall could both trend upward.

Payton Eeles 2B | MIN
Twins' Payton Eeles: Activated from Triple-A IL
Eeles (knee) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Eeles had been on a rehab assignment in the low minors following offseason knee surgery. The 25-year-old utility player is not on the Twins' 40-man roster, but he could push to debut in 2025 if he plays well at St. Paul.

Kristian Campbell 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: First base experiment tabled
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that using Campbell at first base is "nothing that we're planning on doing now," Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Abraham Toro has played well and Romy Gonzalez (quad) was activated from the 10-day injured list earlier Monday, so the Red Sox have less of a need for Campbell at first base. Campbell will still take pregame grounders at the position, but the rookie appears set to stick to playing second base and occasionally center field for the time being.

Kristian Campbell 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Moved down to nine spot
Campbell will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's contest versus the Angels.
Campbell has hit eighth a few times -- including twice over the weekend -- but this is the first time this season he's occupied the lowest spot in the batting order. The rookie is sporting a lowly. .361 OPS since the beginning of May.

Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Likely to be activated Tuesday
The Blue Jays are expected to reinstate Gimenez (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Phillies, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Gimenez has been on the shelf since May 9 due to a right quad strain, but after completing a four-game rehab assignment at Single-A Dunedin last week while going 2-for-12 with a 2:1 BB:K, he looks like he'll be ready to rejoin the Blue Jays ahead of their six-game week. The 26-year-old should settle back in as Toronto's everyday second baseman, which could result in the hot-hitting Ernie Clement shifting over to third base and Addison Barger moving to right field.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Rangers' Marcus Semien: Continues revival
Semien went 2-for-2 with two walks, a double, a stolen base and three runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Cardinals.
Semien has caught fire with a three-game hit streak, during which he's gone 7-for-8 with three walks, two extra-base hits, two steals, three RBI and six runs scored. His .201 average is the highest its been since Opening Day.

Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL
Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Makes first defensive appearance
Kim (shoulder) started at second base Sunday, continuing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham, MLB.com reports.
Kim made his fifth total appearance with Durham on Sunday, but it marked the first time he fielded a position. Overall, he's gone 2-for-16 with two walks, two RBI and a stolen base. Kim should be activated by mid-June.

DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY
Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Four hits in win
LeMahieu went 4-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Dodgers.
LeMahieu had one of his best games of the season, which included knocking in a run with a single in the fifth and another RBI on a ninth-inning double. The veteran infielder's big game lifted his average from .171 to .239 over 15 contests this season. He's added a home run, five RBI, two runs scored and no stolen bases over 51 plate appearances. LeMahieu is seeing a majority of the playing time at second base, but he occasionally cedes some at-bats versus right-handed pitchers to Jorbit Vivas. Oswald Peraza will also be a threat to LeMahieu's playing time at the keystone once Jazz Chisholm (oblique) returns, likely as the starting third baseman.

Jeremiah Jackson SS | BAL
Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Promoted to Triple-A
Jackson was promoted to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Jackson will make the jump to Triple-A after batting .250 with four home runs, 18 RBI, 17 runs scored and two stolen bases over 176 at-bats in 44 games with Double-A Chesapeake this season. If he impresses with Norfolk, it's possible that Jackson could make his major-league debut down the road this year.

Jorbit Vivas 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Sitting against righty
Vivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Vivas will take a seat for the fifth time in eight games, with two of those absences coming against right-handed pitching. Oswald Peraza appears to have supplanted Vivas as the Yankees' preferred option at third base, and the latter could be at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the near future with Jazz Chisholm (oblique) close to a return from the injured list.
