Jose Devers 2B | ATL
Braves' Jose Devers: Not yet retiring
Devers (undisclosed) did not retire as previously reported and plans to continue his playing career, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.
A previous report suggested that Devers had retired, but that report apparently came about due to an error in translation. He will continue to rehab an undisclosed injury that has kept him from playing for Triple-A Gwinnett since June 1. The 25-year-old infielder has maintained a .276/.279/.431 slash line across 61 plate appearances with Gwinnett this season.

Moore was selected in the first round by the Angels in 2024 and has risen through their minor-league system quickly. He has excelled at Triple-A Salt Lake in 2025, slashing .350/.424/.575 across 92 plate appearances. Moore figures to start every day at second base and hit in a prominent spot in the lineup.

DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY
Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Out of Yankees' lineup
LeMahieu is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Royals.
It's a regular day of rest for LeMahieu, who had started the previous five tilts and reached base six times in the first two games of the series. Pablo Reyes is at second base and batting eighth as the Yankees try to complete the sweep.

Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Held out Thursday
Chisholm (groin) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Kansas City.
It's not a surprise that Chisholm is sitting out Thursday's series finale after he had to exit Wednesday's game with left groin tightness. The positive news is Chisholm has not been placed on the 10-day injured list and is considered day-to-day at this time. Oswald Peraza will pick up a start at third base for the Yankees.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Cleared for rehab games
Sosa (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Sosa had expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday, but he'll instead start up a rehab stint. He landed on the shelf in early June with a right hip flexor strain and should be able to rejoin the White Sox after a quick stay in the minors.

Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH
Mets' Jeff McNeil: Smacks seventh home run
McNeil went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Nationals.
McNeil opened the scoring in the first inning with his seventh homer of the season, a two-out blast off Michael Soroka that put the Mets ahead 3-0. It's the third homer in four games for McNeil, who's gone 16-for-47 (.340) in his last 13 contests. Overall, McNeil is batting .270 with a .911 OPS, 22 RBI, 13 runs scored and one stolen base through his first 135 plate appearances this season.

Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Taking seat Thursday
Gonzales is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.
After going 6-for-23 with an RBI and three runs scored over his last six games, Gonzales will step out of the lineup Thursday while Adam Frazier covers second base, opening up left field for Tommy Pham.

Brendan Donovan 2B | STL
Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Held out again Thursday
Donovan (toe) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest in Milwaukee.
He'll miss a second straight game after departing Tuesday's tilt versus the Blue Jays with a sprained capsule in the joint of his left big toe. The current expectation is that Donovan will be able to avoid a stint on the 10-day injured list, but he'll need to show improvement in the coming days. Nolan Gorman is getting another start at second base Thursday.
