  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Getting breather

    Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the A's.

    Dubon will get the afternoon off Wednesday after making six consecutive starts. In his place, Brendan Rodgers will fill in at second base and bat ninth.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: On bench Wednesday

    Campbell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Campbell will get the day off Wednesday after making four consecutive starts. In his place, David Hamilton will bat seventh and play second base.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Fitzgerald is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Fitzgerald will receive a day to reset after going 4-for-27 with a 31 percent strikeout rate while starting the previous eight games. Christian Koss will step in at the keystone and bat ninth versus Detroit righty Jackson Jobe in the series finale.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Twins' Willi Castro: Getting breather Wednesday

    Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    After making seven consecutive starts, Castro is on the bench for Wednesday's series finale. Brooks Lee will slot in at second base while Trevor Larnach, DaShawn Keirsey and Kody Clemens fill the outfield from left to right.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Tees off in loss

    Schneemann went 1-for-2 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to the Dodgers.

    Schneemann launched a three-run homer in the fourth inning after the Dodgers raced to an early 4-0 lead. Despite that early success, Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt pinch hit for Schneemann against a lefty in the seventh, limiting him to two plate appearances. He has just 16 at-bats against southpaws in 2025. Schneemann blipped on the fantasy radar in early May but had gone quiet prior to Tuesday's three-run homer. He entered the game batting .175 (7-for-40) with one extra-base hit, one RBI and three runs over 13 games.

  • Matt McLain SS | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Enters as pinch hitter

    McLain entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 with an RBI in a 7-2 win over the Royals.

    McLain took a seat on the bench to open the game while Gavin Lux filled in at second base. McLain eventually pitch hit for Lux against a lefty, contributing a run-scoring groundout in the eighth inning, and then finished the game at the keystone. McLain's navigated an early-season slump but entered Tuesday's contest on a modest four-game hit streak (5-for-17).

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Fills in at second base

    Lawlar started at second base in place of Ketel Marte (illness) and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Lawlar has now gone hitless with eight strikeouts in his 18 plate appearances since being called up from Triple-A Reno on May 12. He's had a tough go of it against off-speed offerings, particularly sliders, in a small sample size. The lack of steady playing time could be making it difficult for Lawlar to make adjustments, though he could get the chance to make a couple more starts if Marte's illness lingers for a few more days.

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Returns to action Tuesday

    Sosa (wrist) went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Atlanta.

    Sosa didn't appear in either of Philadelphia's last two games due to a left wrist issue, but he returned to action as a substitute for the injured Bryce Harper (elbow) in the first inning and appears to be fully healthy. The Phillies moved Alec Bohm to first base Tuesday, which could allow Sosa to see more playing time at the hot corner if Harper needs to miss some time. Over 68 at-bats (26 games) this season, Sosa is batting .338 with one home run, five doubles, 12 RBI and 10 runs scored.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Three-hit effort in Tuesday's win

    Moore went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Monday's 9-1 win over the Nationals.

    Moore went 0-for-10 over his previous three games before breaking the short slump in a big way Tuesday. The utility player has posted three multi-hit efforts over 18 games in May. For the season, he's hitting .272 with an .827 OPS, eight home runs, eight stolen bases, 16 RBI, 21 runs scored and four doubles over 41 contests. He is seeing a majority of his playing time at second base but can fill in all around the diamond.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Fighting off illness

    Marte isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Pittsburgh due to an illness, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

    Marte is slashing .263/.366/.600 with eight homers, 12 RBI and 17 runs scored since the start of May, but he'll have to miss Tuesday's contest while he battles the flu. Jordan Lawlar will get the nod at the keystone instead and could continue to start at second if Marte has to miss any additional games.
