Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL
Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Shut down with hamstring strain
The Rockies placed Estrada on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a right hamstring strain.
Estrada will head to the IL for the third time this season, after he was previously shut down due to a fractured right wrist and a sprained right thumb. The infielder suffered his latest injury while running out a grounder in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Blue Jays and was spotted using crutches to move about the clubhouse after the game, per MLB.com. Colorado recalled Adael Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move, and he'll replace Estrada in the starting nine at second base in Wednesday's series finale with Toronto, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com.

Luis Garcia 2B | WAS
Nationals' Luis Garcia: Three hits in Tuesday's loss
Garcia went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the A's.
The second baseman stayed hot and helped fuel a seven-run outburst by the Nats' offense, although that paled in comparison to the 16 runs surrendered by the pitching staff. Over 15 games since the All-Star break, Garcia is slashing .298/.328/.439 with two doubles, two homers, one steal, seven RBI and eight runs.

Koss went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Pirates.
Koss drew the start at second base for the first time since being reinstated from the injured list Friday. He launched a two-run homer in the third inning, giving the Giants a 2-0 lead. The 27-year-old infielder now has three home runs on the season and is slashing .262/.300/.379 with 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases across 113 plate appearances.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Idle against southpaw
Schneemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Schneemann and fellow left-handed hitters Kyle Manzardo, Bo Naylor and Nolan Jones will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the hill for the finale. With Schneemann out of the lineup, Angel Martinez and C.J. Kayfus will pick up starts in the outfield alongside left fielder Steven Kwan.

Edouard Julien 2B | COL
Twins' Edouard Julien: Losing work to Keaschall
Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Detroit.
After getting recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Julien started at second base in four straight games and went 2-for-12 with a double and a walk during that stretch. However, with the Twins bringing Luke Keaschall back from the injured list Tuesday, the left-handed-hitting Julien appears to have since faded into a reserve role. Julien will cede second base to Keaschall for a second straight day to close out the series with the Tigers, who have sent right-handed starters to the hill for both of those contests.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Returns to Detroit lineup
Torres (forearm) will start at second base and bat second in Wednesday's game versus the Twins.
Torres was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 6-3 loss as he battled some tightness in his left forearm, but he's been cleared to play in Wednesday's series finale. The second baseman enters play Wednesday with two home runs in his first four games this month.

Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Sitting again versus lefty
Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The left-handed-hitting Stott will hit the bench for the third time in five games, with all of his absences coming against southpaws. Edmundo Sosa will step in for Stott at the keystone while the Orioles send lefty Trevor Rogers to the hill.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Smacks two-run homer
Lowe went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Tuesday against the Angels.
Lowe led off the scoring for the Rays in the fourth inning by smacking his 20th home run of the season. He has at least one hit in six of eight games since the All-Star break and now has seven home runs across his last 26 games. Lowe also has at least 20 long balls in three consecutive campaigns.

Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Pilfers bag No. 20
Turang went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 win over Atlanta.
The steal was his 20th of 2025, a mark he's reached in three straight seasons. Turang's activity on the basepaths has taken a big step back from last year, when he went 50-for-56 in stolen base attempts, but his overall production has improved. Through 108 games, he's slashing .276/.341/.383 -- career highs in all three categories -- with eight homers, 50 RBI and 65 runs.
