Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Removed as precaution
Torres (neck) suggested after Saturday's 1-0 win over the Guardians that he will be fine forward, and manager A.J. Hinch confirmed that Torres was taken out in the first inning as a precaution, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Torres took an elbow from Brayan Rocchio to the neck during a slide at second base and it unsettled him, but the infielder appears to have sustained only a minor injury. Torres is hitting .309 with four home runs, 18 runs, 15 RBI and zero steals over his last 25 games.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Suffers neck contusion
Torres exited Saturday's game against the Guardians with a neck contusion.
Brayan Rocchio's elbow made contact with Torres' head/neck area while Torres was sliding into second base Saturday. Trey Sweeney replaced Torres with Javier Baez sliding to second base. Torres should be considered day-to-day for now.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Exits after taking elbow to face
Torres left Saturday's game against the Guardians after taking an elbow to the face while sliding into second base, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY
Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Sitting out Saturday
LeMahieu isn't in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mets.
LeMahieu is sitting for the second time in New York's past three games while Oswald Peraza gets a start at the keystone. LeMahieu has posted a mediocre .659 OPS through 43 contests this season, but he's been better of late with four hits (all singles) and two walks over his last 11 plate appearances.

Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Not in lineup after hurting ankle
Gimenez (ankle) isn't in Saturday's starting lineup against the Angels.
Gimenez initially hurt his ankle Wednesday against the Yankees and missed one game before returning to action Friday. However, he was removed from that contest after apparently tweaking the injury on the basepaths, and he's now being held out Saturday. Gimenez underwent an MRI following Friday's game, but results of the imaging haven't yet been shared. With Gimenez out of action Saturday, Davis Schneider is starting at second base.

David Hamilton SS | MIL
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Swipes two bases in win
Hamilton started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a walk and two stolen bases in Friday's 11-2 win over the Nationals.
Hamilton stole bases each time he got on base and now has 15 thefts over 59 games. He's started 10 of the last 13 games and has been the primary second baseman since Kristian Campbell was optioned to Triple-A Worcester. That increase in playing time hasn't resulted in much value, as Hamilton is 5-for-34 (.147) with one home run, three RBI and three steals during that stretch. His playing time could take a hit when Alex Bregman (quadriceps) returns, which could happen next week. In that event, Marcelo Mayer could become the primary starter at the keystone.

Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Undergoes MRI, results pending
The Blue Jays sent Gimenez for an MRI on his ankle after Friday's win over the Angels, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca results.
Gimenez jammed his ankle Wednesday and appeared to aggravate the injury Friday while going from first to third on a George Springer single. The results of his MRI have not been disclosed, but it sounds like another trip to the injured list is a possibility for Gimenez, who previously missed time this season with a quad issue. Leo Jimenez could see an uptick in playing time if Gimenez is forced to the IL.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Supplies RBI in season debut
Gelof (ribs) went 0-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 11-2 win over the Giants.
Gelof initially had a hamate fracture and then sustained a rib injury in May while on his first rehab assignment. The second baseman played the full game Friday, and he'll likely take over as the Athletics' starter at the keystone. He'll go relatively unchallenged for playing time while Luis Urias (hamstring) is on the injured list. Gelof slashed a paltry .211/.270/.362 in 2024 after batting .267 with an .841 OPS in 69 games as a rookie in 2023. Keep an eye on him to see if he can overcome missing half of a season to rebound from last year's sophomore slump.

Dylan Moore LF | PHI
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Goes deep in rare start
Moore went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-0 win over the Pirates.
The Mariners gave the lefty-hitting Dominic Canzone the day off versus southpaw Bailey Falter, enabling Moore to draw a rare start in right field and belt his first homer since May 22. Moore had briefly handled nearly an everyday role when Ryan Bliss (triceps) and Victor Robles (shoulder) went down earlier this year, but he's fallen into a utility role off the bench since Canzone and Cole Young joined the big-league club. Moore has taken just 39 at-bats over his last 25 games, going 2-for-39 with one steal during that span.
