  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Mariners' Adam Frazier: Walks, steals base Sunday

    Frazier went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.

    The veteran outfielder was one of the few Mariners to get into scoring position Sunday in what was ultimately a shutout loss. The steal was Frazier's second of the season after he posted a career-high 10 in 2021, but he's enduring a miserable June thus far with a .105 average (4-for-38) through 11 games.

  • Cavan Biggio RF | HOU

    Blue Jays' Cavan Biggio: Collects fifth straight start

    Biggio will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Orioles.

    Biggio will stay in the lineup for a fifth straight game after going 5-for-14 with two doubles, three walks, two runs and one RBI across the previous four contests. His increased playing time has coincided with Matt Chapman (wrist) missing three consecutive contests, so Biggio could be pushed into more of a utility role if Chapman is able to avoid a trip to the injured list.

  • Rangers' Luisangel Acuna: Rolling in High-A

    Acuna owns a .299/.408/.598 slash line with seven homers, 10 steals and a 15:29 BB:K through 24 games for High-A Hickory this season.

    He's been a man on a mission ever since returning from a hamstring injury he suffered in the season opener. The strikeout rate is a bit high at 28.2 percent, but Acuna's 14.6 percent walk rate makes the whiffs much more palatable -- as do his emerging power and above-average speed. Acuna has all the tools to be a rock-solid starting shortstop (and potential All-Star) in the big leagues, though it'll very likely take him another couple years to arrive.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Guardians' Amed Rosario: Pair of doubles Sunday

    Rosario went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.

    Rosario led the charge on offense Sunday, extending his hitting streak to seven games. In that span, he's gone 12-for-29 (.414), though he hadn't recorded an extra-base hit in June prior to this contest. The shortstop is up to a solid .260/.294/.324 slash line through 50 games, adding 13 RBI and 25 runs scored, but he remains in search of his first home run. He's added five stolen bases, seven doubles and three triples.

  • Ernie Clement 2B | TOR

    Guardians' Ernie Clement: Playing time still limited

    Clement has started four of the Guardians' 11 games in June.

    He's started to mix into the lineup with a little more frequency, but Clement remains without a clear path to at-bats. He's gone 2-for-14 with three strikeouts and a walk through five contests in June, dropping his season slash line to .214/.275/.250 in 92 plate appearances.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Goes deep in Sunday's win

    Altuve went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-4 win over the Marlins.

    Altuve came up a triple shy of the cycle Sunday. He doubled and scored in the first inning before adding a three-run blast in the eighth. The second baseman is 11-for-32 (.344) in his last seven games, which includes three multi-hit efforts, two homers and four doubles. For the season, he's posted a .279/.348/.536 slash line, 12 long balls, 23 RBI, 28 runs scored, three stolen bases and 10 doubles through 45 contests as the Astros' regular leadoff hitter.

  • Luis Urias 2B | TOR

    Brewers' Luis Urias: Leaves with tight hamstring

    Urias left Sunday's game against the Nationals with right hamstring tightness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Urias' exit was reportedly precautionary, so it seems as though he'll be considered day-to-day for now. The Brewers have an off day Monday, so it's possible he returns Tuesday against the Mets without missing a start.

  • Luis Rengifo LF | SD

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Not starting Sunday

    Rengifo will sit Sunday against the Mets, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Rengifo started at second base in his return from paternity leave Saturday, going 1-for-4 with a triple. Matt Duffy will start at the keystone Sunday.

  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Day off Sunday

    Lux will sit Sunday against San Francisco, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Lux has had far more than a platoon role this season, though when he does sit, it usually comes against a left-hander. He'll rest here against a particularly difficult one in Carlos Rodon, with Hanser Alberto taking over at the keystone.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Dealing with upset stomach

    Torres is "under the weather" but available off the bench Sunday against the Cubs, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

    Torres was scratched from Sunday's lineup but it sounds like he could appear off the bench or at least be ready to return to the lineup after Monday's off day. Matt Carpenter replaced him in the lineup.
