  • Royals' Michael Massey: Not in Sunday's lineup

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

    Massey started the previous nine games but will hit the bench Sunday after batting .200 (7-for-35) with no extra-base hits during that span. Nick Loftin will start in left field while Jonathan India mans the keystone for the series finale in Minnesota.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Steals base as pinch runner

    Hamilton entered the second game of Saturday's doubleheader as a pinch runner and stole a base in a 2-1 loss to Baltimore. He started the matinee contest and went 0-for-2.

    Hamilton stole his ninth bag of the season and was in scoring position during an eighth-inning rally but was stranded there. He's tied for second on the team in steals, with three of his nine thefts coming as a pinch runner. Hamilton may provide hidden value even in a part-time role, but he's in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest, getting the call at shortstop for a resting Trevor Story.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Taking seat for series finale

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Schneemann was included in the lineup the last time the Guardians faced a southpaw starter (Andrew Abbott) back on May 18, but the 28-year-old will retreat to the bench in Detroit while Tarik Skubal takes the hill. With Lane Thomas' recent return from the injured list giving Cleveland an extra right-handed bat in the outfield, utility player Angel Martinez could end up serving as a platoon partner for Schneemann at second base.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Snaps skid with three-hit effort

    LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with a run and an RBI in Saturday's 13-1 rout of the Rockies.

    New York charged up its offense against the team with MLB's worst record, and LeMahieu got in on the action with his first three-hit performance of the season. It was a much-needed breakthrough for the veteran infielder, who entered Saturday having gone hitless over his previous four games. Since making his season debut May 13 following a lengthy stay on the injured list, LeMahieu has gone 7-for-26 (.269 batting average) with a home run, three RBI, two runs and a 3:4 BB:K.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Playing time trending down

    Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Though his absence from the lineup against a lefty starter (Logan Allen) doesn't come as much of a surprise, Keith could be at risk of moving into a part-time role now that Detroit's roster is getting healthier. Matt Vierling returned from the injured list earlier this weekend, and Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back) are both in the midst of rehab assignments and could be activated from the IL in the near future.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Reaches five times in loss

    Torres went 2-for-2 with three walks, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Saturday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

    Torres was effective from the No. 2 spot in the order and snapped a mini-slump in which he'd gone just 1-for-15 over his previous six contests. The infielder is enjoying a strong first year in Detroit, sporting an .806 OPS across 40 games. It would be his highest mark since posting an .872 OPS in his second MLB season back in 2019.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Swipes bag in win

    Schneemann went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Saturday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

    Schneemann has hit safely in seven of his last 10 games, going 7-for-30 (.233) in that span. He's carved out a starting role, primarily at second base, since Brayan Rocchio was sent down to Triple-A Columbus, but Schneemann's bat has cooled off a bit after a stronger start to the month. Overall, he's at a .255/.339/.464 slash line with six home runs, five doubles, one steal, 13 RBI and 16 runs scored across 125 plate appearances.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Drives in three

    Sosa went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and three RBI in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Rangers.

    Sosa hit a bases-clearing double in the sixth inning off Jacob Webb that boosted the lead to 8-4. The infielder has been hot at the plate as of late, batting .354 (17-for-48) with five doubles, two home runs and six RBI in his past 15 games. The 25-year-old's poor plate discipline (2.9 percent walk rate) has been a major factor holding him back from becoming a more productive everyday player, but it hasn't slowed him down during this stretch of great hitting.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Set to begin rehab assignment

    Rays manager Kevin Cash said Saturday that Kim (shoulder) is slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Monday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Kim has been participating in on-field drills and batting out of the cage, and he is ready to take the next step in his recovery by embarking on a rehab assignment. The 29-year-old shortstop suffered a right shoulder injury last August, which was severe enough for him to miss the rest of the 2024 season and undergo surgery in October. How Kim's shoulder reacts to a larger workload will dictate when he'll return to the majors to make his 2025 debut.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Twins' Kody Clemens: Stays hot with homer

    Clemens went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Royals.

    The 29-year-old took Michael Wacha deep to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning and chase the righty from the game. Clemens has hit safely in each of his last six games and has an extra-base hit in five straight, and since May 11 he's batting .406 (13-for-32) with four doubles, a triple, three homers, six runs and nine RBI in 10 contests. The Twins' infield is nearly at full strength following the return of Carlos Correa from the concussion IL on Friday, but Clemens -- who has seen action at first base, second base, and both outfield corners in 2025 -- will be hard to dislodge from his strong-side platoon role given his current form.
