Owen Miller 2B | CHC
Indians' Owen Miller: Gets first big-league call-up
Cleveland selected Miller's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
He'll replace the injured Franmil Reyes (abdomen) on Cleveland's active roster, while Roberto Perez (finger) was transferred to the 60-day IL to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Miller, one of the key pieces the organization acquired in the August 2020 deal that sent Mike Clevinger to San Diego. Since being traded from San Diego, the 24-year-old has only further solidified himself as one of Cleveland's more intriguing higher-level prospects after he slashed .406/.457/.609 with seven extra-base hits in his first 16 games with Columbus. With Reyes on the 10-day IL and Cleveland struggling to get production from its other hitters aside from Jose Ramirez, Miller could be in store for a near-everyday role in the middle infield or in left field during his first stint in the big leagues.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
Reds' Jonathan India: Sitting Sunday
India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Max Schrock gets the nod at second base in the series finale, ending a streak of 10 consecutive starts for India. Over that span, India slashed .265/.359/.471 with two home runs, a stolen base, six RBI and four runs to provide value for fantasy managers who stuck with him during a month-long dry spell. India looked in danger of losing hold of his everyday role at second base earlier this month, but the 24-year-old looks to have regained some security after Nick Senzel (knee) and Mike Moustakas (heel) were both recently moved to the 10-day injured list.

Josh Rojas 3B | KC
Diamondbacks' Josh Rojas: Three hits in loss
Rojas went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies.
Rojas started in right field as Josh Reddick moved to center for the resting Ketel Marte. It was the third straight game with a two-base hit for Rojas, who has a nine for the season, tied for the lead among Diamondbacks hitters. The 27-year-old utility player continues to get regular playing time, filling in at second base and outfield while Arizona copes with injuries to Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) and Kole Calhoun (hamstring), both of whom are expected to be out until mid June or later. Rojas has taken advantage of the opportunity, positing a career-high slash line (.288/.354/.485) over 147 plate appearances.

Brendan Rodgers 2B | BOS
Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Delivers two RBI in win
Rodgers went 2-for-3 with two RBI during Saturday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks
The 24-year-old went 0-for-4 in his season debut Friday but collected his first hits and RBI of the season during Saturday's victory. Rodgers missed the first seven weeks of the season with a right hamstring strain but is now in the infield mix for Colorado.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Drives in four runs
Torres went 3-for-4 with a double, four RBI and two runs during Saturday's 7-0 win against the White Sox.
The 24-year-old brought home both runs of Friday's win over Chicago, and he added four more RBI during Saturday's contest. Torres is 21-for-61 (.344 averaged) with two homers, four doubles, 14 RBI and nine runs over his past 16 games.

Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL
Braves' Ozzie Albies: Goes yard twice Saturday
Albies went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.
The second baseman went yard from both sides of the plate Saturday, taking right-hander Mitch Keller deep in the fifth inning before launching a solo shot off southpaw Sam Howard in the seventh. Albies has three homers over the last two games and nine on the season to go along with a .231/.302/.491 slash line.

Luis Urias 2B | TOR
Brewers' Luis Urias: Swats fifth homer
Urias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Reds.
His third-inning blast off Sonny Gray got the Brewers on the board. The 23-year-old got the start at second base with Kolten Wong (right arm) sidelined, but the addition of Willy Adames to the Milwaukee lineup will relegate Urias to the bench when everyone is healthy. On the season, he's hitting just .211 with five homers and 20 RBI through 41 games.

Luis Arraez 2B | PHI
Twins' Luis Arraez: Nursing shoulder issue
Arraez experienced right shoulder discomfort during Saturday's loss to Cleveland, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
The 24-year-old played through the injury Saturday without exiting the contest and went 2-for-5 with a caught stealing. It doesn't appear to be a serious concern, so Arraez should be considered day-to-day.

Cavan Biggio RF | HOU
Blue Jays' Cavan Biggio: Placed on injured list
Biggio was placed on the 10-day injured list with a cervical spine ligament sprain Saturday.
Biggio was held out of Friday's lineup with what was originally referred to as a sore neck. He wound up appearing off the bench, but the injury is evidently bad enough that he'll need to be shut down for at least 10 days. Whether or not he'll be able to return when first eligible at the start of June remains to be seen. Santiago Espinal will start at third base Saturday and could feature regularly until he returns.

Jorge Polanco DH | NYM
Twins' Jorge Polanco: Sitting again Saturday
Polanco (ankle) remains on the bench for Saturday's game in Cleveland, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Polanco left the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Angels with a sore right ankle and did not take part in Friday's contest. He'll remain on the bench Saturday, with Luis Arraez starting at second base.
