  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Losing out on starts vs. lefties

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    The left-handed-hitting Schneemann has posted a .526 OPS against southpaws this season, and he could find himself on the bench more frequently versus same-handed pitching now that the Guardians are back to full strength in the infield and outfield. He'll give way to Angel Martinez at second base Wednesday while the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the bump.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Sitting out Wednesday

    Donovan (toe) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Donovan departed Tuesday's 10-9 loss due to discomfort in the joint of his left big toe, an injury he said he first felt earlier in the day before it got "progressively worse" during the game, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The 28-year-old said that he felt the injury is "not that bad," but he'll still have to sit out Wednesday's matinee. Nolan Gorman will handle second base and bat seventh for the Cardinals.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Reaches four times in rout

    LeMahieu went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks and two runs scored during Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Royals.

    LeMahieu has been off to a great start in June, and Tuesday's contest added to his heater. The infielder notched his third multi-hit performance of the month and his third outing drawing multiple walks. LeMahieu is 11-for-24 (.458) with five runs scored, six RBI and a 4:4 K:BB in June.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Snaps long homer drought Tuesday

    Gimenez went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Cardinals.

    Gimenez finally snapped a 37-game homerless skid with his fourth big fly of the campaign. The middle infielder has recorded at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 games, a stretch in which he's batting .341 (14-for-41) with two doubles, six RBI, five runs scored and one stolen base. Gimenez rose to the fifth spot in the lineup Tuesday for the first time since April 27, a promising sign as he looks to maintain a groove at the dish.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Continues to heat up with homer

    Gorman went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 10-9 loss to Toronto.

    Gorman remains stuck in part-time role, but he's been relatively productive lately when given the opportunity to play. Across his last 15 games, the 25-year-old infielder is batting .343 (12-for-35) with four extra-base hits, five RBI and three runs scored. It's unclear if his recent hot streak will earn him more playing time going forward, but Gorman at least has a clearer pathway to at-bats at second base while Brendan Donovan sees extra reps in the outfield amid the absence of Jordan Walker (wrist).

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Leaves with neck tightness

    Chisholm was removed from Tuesday's game against Kansas City with neck tightness, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

    Chisholm's neck seemed to be giving him trouble after he swiped third base in the sixth inning of Tuesday's contest, and he was eventually replaced on defense during the seventh. The Yankees will take a closer look at him and should have some more information on his status shortly. If he ends up having to miss additional time, Oswald Peraza would be the favorite to pick up some reps at the hot corner.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Exits with toe injury

    Donovan was removed from Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays due to toe discomfort, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    It's unclear what caused Donovan's injury, but his toe forced him out of the game in the ninth inning after he had gone 0-for-3 with a run scored. Fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for now, though Nolan Gorman could pick up some additional starts at second base if Donovan has to miss any amount of time.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Another start in left field

    Frazier will start in left field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

    Frazier, who is hitting .377/.441/.528 over his last 15 games, will draw his second straight start in left field. With Tommy Pham and Alexander Canario providing little offense from the left field spot, Frazier could get some extended run at the position against right-handed pitching.

  • Chris Taylor LF | LAA

    Angels' Chris Taylor: Down with fractured hand

    The Angels placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hand fracture.

    Taylor suffered the injury when he was struck by a pitch in Monday's win over the Athletics. It's an injury that is likely to keep him out beyond the minimum 10 days.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Goes on IL with sprained ankle

    The Royals placed Massey on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left ankle sprain.

    It's not clear when or how Massey was injured, but his playing time had already been trending downward with just two starts over the Royals' last six contests. Tyler Tolbert is taking his roster spot.
