  • Adam Frazier 2B | KC

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Idle against righty

    Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    After picking up starts in the corner outfield in three straight contests while going 3-for-9 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run, Frazier will head to the bench for a breather against righty Jack Leiter. Despite being out of the lineup Sunday, Frazier should continue to occupy a strong-side platoon role in left field, with either Alexander Canario or Tommy Pham slotting in against southpaws.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Twins' Willi Castro: Out Sunday with sore wrist

    The Twins scratched Castro from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers due to right wrist soreness, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

    Castro had initially been slated to start in left field and bat third, but DaShawn Keirsey will end up replacing him in the lineup. Though Castro is a switch hitter, the injury is to his throwing hand, so he may have been compromised in the field had the Twins elected to keep him in the lineup. The super-utility player can be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Mariners.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Filling in at shortstop

    Hoerner will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    The Cubs will rest Dansby Swanson for the first time all season, so Hoerner will shift over from his usual post at second base to cover shortstop. Hoerner doesn't have any home runs this season, though he's provided fantasy value with a .284 batting average, 41 runs, 31 RBI and 14 stolen bases through 72 games.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Settling in at 3B, leadoff spot

    Keith will start at third base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Keith will set the table for the Tigers for the fourth straight game, as manager A.J. Hinch has elevated the 24-year-old and his .832 June OPS in the lineup. Additionally, Hinch appears increasingly comfortable using Keith at third base, a position he hadn't played since 2023. Keith looks poised to gain third base eligibility in most fantasy leagues before the All-Star break if his current usage holds.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Rolling since demotion

    Lawlar has gone 18-for-63 (.286) with 10 extra-base hits, 14 RBI, five steals and 11 runs scored over 15 games since being sent back to Triple-A Reno. He's started at shortstop (nine starts), third base (five) and second base (one).

    Lawlar had a rough go of it in the majors during a brief call-up in May, but he's overcome that disappointment and continued to produce at the Triple-A level. Lawlar has a .321/.411/.586 slash line with 19 doubles, four triples, 10 home runs, 45 RBI, 18 steals and 49 runs over 249 plate appearances for the Aces this season.

  • Matt McLain SS | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Deposits pair of doubles

    McLain went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

    McLain continued his strong June, extending his hitting streak to nine games while notching his first three-hit performance of the season. The 25-year-old has struggled overall in 2025, slashing just .209/.302/.340 with 15 extra-base hits and 26 RBI through 68 games. However, he appears to be rounding into form and showing flashes of his 2023 self, when he posted a .290/.357/.507 line with 43 extra-base hits and 50 RBI in only 89 games.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Gets on base five times Saturday

    Marte went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

    Marte has gone 10-for-15 over his last three contests, adding seven RBI in that span. The second baseman is clearly taking advantage of this weekend's series in Colorado, especially since he's had momentum all month -- he's batting .371 (26-for-70) with 10 extra-base hits over 18 games in June. Marte is now hitting .311 on the year, the first time he's been over .300 since May 5. He has a 1.007 OPS and has added 13 home runs, 30 RBI, 43 runs scored, 11 doubles and two stolen bases over 50 games.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Estrada (hand) is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Estrada will be out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game due to a right hand injury, but he told reporters Saturday that he doesn't believe he'll need a stint on the injured list, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. Orlando Arcia will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

  • Justin Foscue 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Joining big-league club

    The Rangers recalled Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    Foscue will fill Jake Burger's (oblique) spot on the 26-man roster after Burger was placed on the 10-day injured list. Foscue will be making his 2025 MLB debut if he gets into a game. He slashed .269/.360/.487 with 10 home runs in 229 plate appearances with Round Rock while playing first and second base.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Resumes June surge

    India went 3-for-5 with a double and a three-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Padres.

    His fifth-inning shot off Nick Pivetta gave the Royals a 4-0 lead. It was India's fourth homer of the season, and three of them have come in his last 15 games -- a stretch in which the 28-year-old super-utility player is slashing .279/.308/.475 with nine RBI and 10 runs despite suffering a partial shoulder dislocation a week ago.
