Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Taking seat Thursday
Arias isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Detroit.
Arias will get a chance to clear his head Thursday after going just 4-for-33 with 12 strikeouts across his last 10 games. Daniel Schneemann will start at shortstop and bat sixth while Arias rests.

Luis Urias 2B | ATH
Athletics' Luis Urias: Getting afternoon off
Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.
Max Schuemann will get the nod at the keystone Thursday, but Urias had manned second base in each of the last six games and still appears to be the Athletics' preferred option at the position while Zack Gelof (wrist/rib) remains on the injured list. Since moving into an everyday role in late April, Urias has slashed .272/.358/.457 with five home runs and one stolen base in 28 games.

Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Likely to require rehab stint
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Tuesday that Gimenez (quadricep) is likely to require a minor-league rehab assignment before returning from the 10-day injured list, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Since suffering a right quad strain and landing on the shelf May 9, Gimenez seems to be making good progress in his recovery. He resumed baseball activities Tuesday and was spotted taking part in running drills and doing some light fielding and throwing work Wednesday, according to Nicholson-Smith. The Blue Jays will likely reassess Gimenez on Thursday before determining whether he'll be ready to begin what's expected to be a brief rehab assignment this weekend.

DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY
Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Out of Yankees' lineup
LeMahieu is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rangers.
LeMahieu has been the Yankees' primary second baseman since returning from the 10-day injured list last week, but he'll get a breather for Thursday's series finale. Jorbit Vivas is covering the keystone and Oswald Peraza is at the hot corner.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Slugs fourth homer
Sosa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Mariners.
Sosa has been in a timeshare arrangement at second base with Josh Rojas for the last week, starting only three of the last seven games. However, Sosa has been in the lineup for the last two contests and went 3-for-7 with a double and a homer. He now has four home runs on the season while hitting .272 across 167 plate appearances.
-
Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Hits in eight of last nine games
Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Astros.
Lowe is in the midst of an impressive stretch at the plate, as he has at least one hit in eight of his last nine appearances. He's gone 12-for-33 with three home runs, seven RBI and seven runs scored in that span. Despite the hot stretch, Lowe still has a disappointing .159 ISO and .382 slugging percentage across 185 plate appearances on the season.

Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL
Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Blasts first homer
Dubon went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Rays.
Dubon started for only the seventh time across 19 games in May and managed his first home run of the season Wednesday. He's gone 8-for-23 on the month but is still losing out on playing time to Jose Altuve and Brendan Rodgers.

Michael Massey 2B | KC
Royals' Michael Massey: Steals first bag of 2025
Massey went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a run scored and a stolen base during Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Giants.
Massey corralled his second three-hit game of the season, smacking a trio of singles during the victory. He swiped second base following his first single, marking his first pilfer of the campaign. Since the start of May, Massey has gone 16-for-68 (.235) with five RBI and five runs scored.

Jorbit Vivas 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Serving as primary third baseman
Vivas will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Since Oswaldo Cabrera landed on the injured list May 13 with what's expected to be a season-ending ankle injury, Vivas has taken over the strong side of a platoon at third base with Oswald Peraza. The 24-year-old Vivas' grasp on a regular role may be tenuous, however, as he's maintained a weak .167/.265/.200 slash line over his first 34 big-league plate appearances. Though Cabrera is likely done for the season, Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is expected to return from the IL at some point in June, at which point Vivas and Peraza might become bench options, with DJ LeMahieu likely shifting to the hot corner.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Receiving afternoon off
Torres is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Torres looks to be receiving a routine maintenance day after he had started in every game for Detroit since May 3. Colt Keith will step in at second base in place of Torres, who is slashing .295/.405/.459 with two home runs, 10 RBI and eight runs over 17 games on the month.
