  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Sitting in Saturday's nightcap

    Holliday is not in the Orioles' starting lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

    Holliday will take a seat for Saturday's nightcap after going 1-for-5 with one run and an RBI in the Orioles' 6-5 extra-innings loss in Game 1. Ramon Urias will start at second base and bat in the cleanup spot for Game 2.

  • Jorbit Vivas 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Sitting Saturday

    Vivas is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Rockies on Saturday.

    Vivas will begin Saturday's game on the bench after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Friday's 3-2 loss to Colorado. Oswald Peraza will start at the hot corner and bat ninth.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Dropped to ninth in batting order

    Semien will start at second base and bat ninth in Friday's game versus the White Sox.

    Semien was demoted from leadoff to the fifth spot in the lineup in late April, and he's now been dropped all the way to the bottom of the batting order. The veteran infielder has just a .512 OPS in May after posting a .504 OPS in April.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Athletics transferred Gelof (wrist/ribs) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Gelof will vacate his spot on the 40-man roster in a purely transactional move, as the second baseman has been sidelined since March 26. Gelof had been recovering from surgery on his right wrist but got pulled from his rehab assignment May 5 after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his ribs. The 25-year-old remains without a timetable for return.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Back in lineup Friday

    Torres (lower leg) will DH and bat second in Friday's game against the Guardians.

    Torres left Thursday's game against Cleveland after the third inning due to discomfort in his lower right leg. However, the injury wasn't severe enough to keep him out of Friday's starting nine. Torres has one hit in his last 12 at-bats.

  • Nick Loftin 1B | KC

    Royals' Nick Loftin: Back in big leagues

    The Royals recalled Loftin from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

    The 26-year-old is taking the roster spot vacated by Hunter Renfroe, who has been designated for assignment. Loftin sports a .295/.451/.468 slash line with four home runs, 12 steals and a 22:39 K:BB over 40 Triple-A games. He's primarily been used at third base by Omaha this year but has also seen action at first base, second base and left field, and he could find opportunities around the diamond on a Royals club that's starved for offense.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Clubs homer in loss

    Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-2 loss to the Astros.

    This was Moore's first multi-hit effort since May 7, his second game back from a mild hip injury. Over the previous 11 contests, he went just 6-for-29 (.207) with a home run, four RBI and a 4:15 BB:K. The utility player still gets in the lineup a majority of the time, but his recent struggles at the plate could see his role reduced slightly until he turns things around. Moore has a .279/.339/.514 slash line with eight homers, 16 RBI, 20 runs scored, eight stolen bases and two doubles across 124 plate appearances. While the hitting has been decent overall, he's had some struggles defensively -- his five errors this season already match his totals from each of the previous two years.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Dealing with leg issue

    Torres exited Thursday's game against the Guardians due to lower right leg discomfort, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Torres was pulled after hitting a hard line drive to end the third inning. It's unclear how serious the issue is, or if Torres will be forced to miss additional time.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Exits Thursday's game early

    Torres was removed from Thursday's game against the Guardians in the fourth inning, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    There was no injury announced and no clear issue before Torres exited the contest, so this will be a situation to monitor as more details emerge. Andy Ibanez entered the game at second base to take his place.

  • Jorbit Vivas 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Slugs first homer in victory

    Vivas went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in two plate appearances during Thursday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.

    Vivas picked a good time for his first home run of the season, scoring the only run of the game off of Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi. Vivas also reached base on catcher's interference as part of a perfect day at the plate before being replaced by DJ LeMahieu in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old Vivas will look to use this game to get going offensively, as he is hitting just .182 through 36 plate appearances for the season.
