  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Twins' Kody Clemens: Drives in four in nightcap

    Clemens went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of the Orioles.

    The 28-year-old utility player played hero in the nightcap, taking Yannier Cano deep for a three-run homer in the eighth inning that flipped the script on a 6-5 deficit. Clemens is batting .227 (5-for-22) with two home runs and six RBI in 11 games since joining the Twins, but he could he in line for more playing time if Ty France, who left the first game of the twin bill with a foot injury and sat out the nightcap, is sidelined for additional time.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Clubs homer

    Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double during Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Reds.

    Sosa took Nick Lodolo yard in the sixth inning for his third home run of the season and added a double in the eighth frame. The long ball was Sosa's first since Apr. 24. He's been on a tear recently, notching multiple hits in four of his last five contests and going 12-for-41 (.292) at the plate during May.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Absent from Wednesday's lineup

    Paris is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Padres on Wednesday.

    Paris started the season strongly, but over his past 23 games he's slashed .100/.149/.171 with one home run, three RBI and a 52.7 percent strikeout rate. He'll begin Wednesday's game in the dugout while Matthew Lugo starts in center field and bats eighth against Padres right-hander Randy Vasquez.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Playing time trending down

    Rodgers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Rodgers has seemingly moved into a part-time role at the keystone, as he'll hit the bench for the third time in five games. Mauricio Dubon will get the nod at second base Wednesday, and Jose Altuve will also remain in the mix for playing time at the position on days that he's not playing left field or serving as a designated hitter.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Receiving afternoon off

    Moore is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    Moore will get a breather for the day game after he had started in each of Seattle's last three contests while going 3-for-8 with a home run, a walk and two RBI. Miles Mastrobuoni will spell Moore at second base.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Resumes activities

    Gimenez (quadricep) resumed baseball activities Tuesday, Mitch Bannon of the Athletic reports.

    The second baseman landed on the IL last Friday due to a right quad strain, but it seems like he might miss close to the minimum 10 days. Gimenez is slashing .195/.273/.305 through his first 36 games with the Blue Jays after being acquired from the Guardians in December.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Belts home run in loss

    Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's extra-innings loss to Detroit.

    Hamilton singled and scored in the fifth inning and came up clutch with a game-tying, two-run shot in the eighth to force extra innings. It was his second home run of the year and first since April 16. Hamilton has posted a .981 OPS with three multi-hit performances over his last seven games. Despite the recent hot streak, Hamilton owns a .579 OPS with just three extra-base hits through 58 plate appearances this season.

  • Coco Montes 2B | TB

    Rays' Coco Montes: Recalled from Triple-A

    Montes was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Yandy Diaz was placed on the restricted list in a corresponding move, and the Rays are already undermanned, so Montes could get some playing time in the short term. The 28-year-old utility player slashed .279/.340/.384 with one home run, three steals and a 23.4 percent strikeout rate in 22 games at Triple-A.

  • Dameury Pena 2B | MIN

    Twins' Dameury Pena: Healthy at Single-A

    Single-A Fort Myers activated Pena (undisclosed) from the 7-day injured list May 6.

    The undersized second baseman missed a little over two weeks with the undisclosed injury and has hit .417 with one double, one strikeout and one caught stealing in four games since getting activated. On the season, Pena is hitting .308 with one home run, two steals, a 7.0 percent strikeout rate and a 2.3 percent walk rate in 43 plate appearances. Pena has hit 52.8 percent of balls on the ground and 45.9 percent to the opposite field, which is a recipe for a high batting average and minimal power.

  • Kyle DeBarge 2B | MIN

    Twins' Kyle DeBarge: Suffers wrist injury

    DeBarge did not suffer a serious injury after getting hit by a pitch in the wrist and should be able to return this week, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. He hasn't played for High-A Cedar Rapids since suffering the injury Thursday.

    DeBarge is having a potential breakout season at High-A by hitting .279/.409/.468 with four home runs and 16 stolen bases in 28 games. Hopefully this injury won't be a significant setback.
