David Hamilton SS | BOS
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Starting at short Sunday
Hamilton will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's series finale against the Twins, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Hamilton moves from second base to shortstop with Kristian Campbell returning from rib discomfort that cost him three games. Hamilton went 5-for-11 with a double, an RBI, three steals and three runs while filling in for Campbell, and he's been rewarded with a fourth straight start, this time filling in for a slumping Trevor Story.

Kyren Paris SS | LAA
Angels' Kyren Paris: Showing signs of life at plate
Paris went 1-for-3 with two RBI in a 5-2 win against Detroit on Saturday.
Paris plated a pair of runs with a sixth-inning single for his first RBI since April 9 -- a span of 18 games. After a scorching start to the season, the 23-tear-old went into a major funk, batting just .111 with a 48.3 percent strikeout rate during his slump. Paris has shown small signs of emerging from the cold spell over his past two contests, going 2-for-6 with a double, though he's also struck out three times. Despite the lack of production, Paris has managed to hold onto a near-everyday spot in the Angels' lineup, but it remains to be seen whether his role will change when Yoan Moncada (thumb) is ready to return from the injured list.

Kristian Campbell 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Rejoining lineup Sunday
Campbell (ribs) is starting at second base and batting cleanup Sunday against the Twins, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The 22-year-old sat out the past three games due to rib discomfort, but he's ready to go for Sunday's series finale versus Minnesota. Campbell has been a force at the plate in his first 29 MLB games with four homers, two steals and a .301/.407/.495 slash line in 123 plate appearances.

Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

Kody Clemens 1B | MIN
Twins' Kody Clemens: Smacks first homer of 2025
Clemens went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over Boston.
Clemens, who started at second base and batted seventh, gave the Twins a two-run lead in the sixth inning, when he took Hunter Dobbins deep to right field for a two-run homer. It was Clemens' first home run of the season, and he's started in three of the Twins' last four games due to injuries to Willi Castro (oblique), Matt Wallner (hamstring), Luke Keaschall (forearm) and Royce Lewis (hamstring).

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Plays hero with late-inning homers
Schneemann went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Getting the start at second base and batting sixth with Jose Ramirez (ankle) needing the day off, Schneemann did his best J-Ram impression in his place. With the Guardians down 3-0 heading into the eighth inning, the 28-year-old utility player took Chad Green for a solo shot before launching a grand slam off Yimi Garcia in the ninth. Schneemann has seen his playing time pick up in recent weeks and has taken advantage, and he's now slashing .276/.344/.552 through 24 games with four homers, eight runs and nine RBI.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Back in Saturday's lineup
Torres (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting third against the Angels on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Torres did not start in Friday's series opener after tweaking his hamstring against the Angels on Thursday, and one day off has been enough for him to return to the lineup. He's started the season slashing .300/.360/.475 with four stolen bases, 13 runs scored, four home runs and 15 RBI in 89 plate appearances.

Jackson Holliday SS | BAL
Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Resting against lefty
Holliday isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.
With left-hander Kris Bubic due to start on the bump for Kansas City, the left-handed bat of Holliday will stay put in the dugout. Jorge Mateo will pick up a start at second base instead and bat ninth.

Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Resting Saturday
Arias isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Toronto.
Arias will get a day to collect himself Saturday after going 0-for-10 with two runs scored across his last three games. His absence will give Brayan Rocchio a chance to start at shortstop while batting eighth.
