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.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Starter at second base
Schneemann started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 5-0 win over the Brewers.
Schneemann's hot bat since the beginning of May generated more plate appearances for him, and shortstop Brayan Rocchio's demotion to the minors Monday opened up a regular gig. Gabriel Arias will cover short, while Schneemann gets regular starts at second base. Since May 1, Schneemann has a 1.101 OPS with three home runs, two doubles, eight RBI and eight runs scored over 10 contests.

The Kansas City second baseman took Houston starter Ryan Gusto deep in the second inning to open the game's scoring. Massey has finally shown signs of life over his last 10 games, batting .275 (11-for-40) with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored. Across 146 total plate appearances, the 27-year-old is slashing .213/.234/.294 with 13 RBI and 8 runs scored.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Pops homer in win
Torres went 3-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's win over Boston.
Torres set the tone for Detroit's 14-run outburst with his two-run shot in the first inning. He later knocked an RBI single and came around to score in the third. Torres has collected multiple hits in five of his last 14 games, going 18-for-51 (.352) during that span. He's slashing .304/.375/.482 with 10 extra-base hits and 24 RBI through 29 games this season.

Brendan Rodgers 2B | HOU
Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Not starting Monday
Rodgers is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Royals on Monday.
Rodgers will be on the bench to begin Monday's game while Jose Altuve starts at second base and bats second. Rodgers has reached base safely in nine straight games, but over that span he has slashed just .229/.270/.343 with six runs, one home run, three RBI and a 37.8 percent strikeout rate.

Jorbit Vivas 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Sitting Monday
Vivas is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Mariners on Monday.
Vivas will begin Monday's game on the bench while Oswald Peraza starts at second base and bats ninth. Since being recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 2, Vivas has gone 3-for-19 with three runs scored, three RBI and a 30.4 percent strikeout rate. He'll likely see his playing time diminish once DJ LeMahieu (calf) -- who is with the Yankees in Seattle -- returns from the 10-day injured list.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Homers for lone run in loss
Moore went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Moore is 4-for-15 with a homer, two stolen bases and three RBI over four games since he returned from a hip strain. The utility player has been one of the Mariners' strongest hitters so far this season, racking up seven homers, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored, seven steals and a .282/.330/.553 slash line through 27 contests. He's already over halfway to matching his career high in homers, which was in 2021 when he slugged 12 long balls in 126 games.
