  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Out of Thursday's lineup

    LeMahieu isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Cleveland.

    LeMahieu will get a chance to rest his legs Thursday after making four consecutive starts at second base, and he went 5-for-13 with two walks and three RBI during that span. Oswald Peraza will pick up a start at the keystone as a result and bat ninth.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Rejoins starting nine

    Edman (ankle) will start at second base and bat sixth during Thursday's game against the Mets, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Manager Dave Roberts revealed Wednesday that Edman tweaked his ankle a few days ago, but the 30-year-old now seems to be fully recovered. Edman has been on a bit of a hot streak at the plate recently, going 8-for-27 with a home run, three RBI and seven runs scored across his last seven games.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Out of Thursday's lineup

    Urias is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    Urias had manned second base for each of the last five games and 11 of the last 12 tilts for the Athletics, but he will get some rest during Thursday's matinee. Max Schuemann will hold down the keystone and bat eighth.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Could settle in at third base

    Keith, who is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox, recently began taking pregame reps at third base and is now considered an available option at the position, Evan Petzold of The Detroit Free Press reports."Just giving [Keith] different looks on ground balls," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday. "He used to play third base a little bit, so it's not that foreign to him. You may see him there from time to time. We'll see."

    Keith saw the majority of his playing time at third base in the minors, but due to concerns about his throwing after he suffered a labrum injury in his right shoulder in July 2022, he hasn't played the position at all since reaching the big leagues in 2024 and has instead served as a second baseman, first baseman or designated hitter. The Tigers never fully closed the door on Keith getting a look at third base, however, and the 23-year-old appears poised to get an opportunity to prove he can hold up defensively at the hot corner while Detroit looks to extract more offense from the position. Zach McKinstry, Andy Ibanez and Javier Baez have all received double-digit starts at third base this season, but with Ibanez typically being used as a short-side platoon player and with McKinstry and Baez both beginning to see their production at the plate trend down, Keith could represent a notable upgrade. Since May 1, Keith is slashing .293/.333/.500 with three home runs, 13 RBI and 18 runs in 27 games.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Out of Thursday's lineup

    Gimenez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Phillies.

    Gimenez started both of the Blue Jays' first two games upon his activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, but the left-handed hitter will get some rest against tough southpaw Jesus Luzardo. Davis Schneider will cover second base and bat sixth for the Blue Jays.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Absent from lineup

    Keith is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the White Sox.

    Kerry Carpenter will likely be limited to designated-hitter duties for a bit as he overcomes a hamstring issue, which is affecting Keith's playing time. Keith has been absent from the lineup twice in the last three contests after he had started each of the previous seven tilts.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Two hits in Wednesday's win

    Gimenez went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

    He was the only Blue Jay to record multiple hits on the night, as Toronto managed only five knocks in total. Gimenez appears set to be an everyday player now that he's back from the injured list, but his value comes from his glove, not his bat -- Wednesday's performance bumped him above a .200 batting average for the first time since April 20.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Delivers big run

    Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

    Marte drove in a run in the top of the ninth inning to make is a 2-0 game, and that run was needed when Justin Martinez walked three and hit a batter in the bottom of the frame to let in a run. Marte is up to 17 RBI for the season with 16 of them coming in the last 22 games.

  • Tim Tawa 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Doubles, scores in win

    Tawa went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

    Tawa doubled in the ninth inning and scored Arizona's second run on a Ketel Marte single. It was an important run the team needed, as closer Justin Martinez allowed a run in the bottom of the frame. Since Marte returned from the injured list in early May, forcing Tawa into a part-time role as a fill-in outfielder against left-handers, the rookie has handled the transition well. He's batting .271 (13-for-48) with four extra-base hits, four RBI, four steals and five runs over 19 games in the part-time role.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Continues to rake in win

    Lowe went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over the Rangers.

    Lowe blasted his 12th homer of the season Wednesday, and he added to a red-hot stretch at the plate recently. Across his last 20 games, the slugging second baseman is batting .359 (28-for-78) with seven homers, six doubles, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored. Lowe has seven multi-hit efforts during this period, also tallying at least one hit in 18 of these contests.
