  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Exits Thursday's game early

    Torres was removed from Thursday's game against the Guardians in the fourth inning, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    There was no injury announced and no clear issue before Torres exited the contest, so this will be a situation to monitor as more details emerge. Andy Ibanez entered the game at second base to take his place.

  • Jorbit Vivas 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Slugs first homer in victory

    Vivas went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in two plate appearances during Thursday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.

    Vivas picked a good time for his first home run of the season, scoring the only run of the game off of Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi. Vivas also reached base on catcher's interference as part of a perfect day at the plate before being replaced by DJ LeMahieu in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old Vivas will look to use this game to get going offensively, as he is hitting just .182 through 36 plate appearances for the season.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Taking seat Thursday

    Arias isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Detroit.

    Arias will get a chance to clear his head Thursday after going just 4-for-33 with 12 strikeouts across his last 10 games. Daniel Schneemann will start at shortstop and bat sixth while Arias rests.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Getting afternoon off

    Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

    Max Schuemann will get the nod at the keystone Thursday, but Urias had manned second base in each of the last six games and still appears to be the Athletics' preferred option at the position while Zack Gelof (wrist/rib) remains on the injured list. Since moving into an everyday role in late April, Urias has slashed .272/.358/.457 with five home runs and one stolen base in 28 games.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Ready for rehab assignment

    Estrada (wrist) was sent to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Estrada has been cleared to play in games after being sidelined all season with a fractured right wrist. The 29-year-old participated in most of spring training before sustaining the injury, but he'll still likely require a fair amount of rehab games to get his timing back at the plate before making his Rockies debut. Once activated from the 60-day injured list, Estrada is likely to become the Rockies' primary second baseman, and his hitter-friendly home venue makes him a worthy roster stash in fantasy leagues where he's available.

  • Kyle Farmer 2B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Farmer: Playing time picking up

    Farmer will start at first base and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Phillies.

    Farmer will make his fifth start in six games and his second in a row at first base. Though Farmer has gone 5-for-19 with two home runs and two doubles over his previous five games, his uptick in playing time seems to be mostly a result of first baseman Michael Toglia beginning to lose his grip on an everyday role rather than Farmer earning it. The 8-41 Rockies are already well removed from playoff contention and have more of a long-term investment in the 26-year-old Toglia, but his 41.7 percent strikeout rate in May has made it increasingly more difficult for interim manager Warren Schaeffer to let him work through his struggles.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Likely to require rehab stint

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Tuesday that Gimenez (quadricep) is likely to require a minor-league rehab assignment before returning from the 10-day injured list, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Since suffering a right quad strain and landing on the shelf May 9, Gimenez seems to be making good progress in his recovery. He resumed baseball activities Tuesday and was spotted taking part in running drills and doing some light fielding and throwing work Wednesday, according to Nicholson-Smith. The Blue Jays will likely reassess Gimenez on Thursday before determining whether he'll be ready to begin what's expected to be a brief rehab assignment this weekend.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Grabbing seat Thursday

    Amador is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Phillies.

    It's a day off for Amador, who had started each of the previous six games. Aaron Schunk is handling second-base duties and batting eighth for the Rockies in the series finale.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Out of Yankees' lineup

    LeMahieu is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

    LeMahieu has been the Yankees' primary second baseman since returning from the 10-day injured list last week, but he'll get a breather for Thursday's series finale. Jorbit Vivas is covering the keystone and Oswald Peraza is at the hot corner.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: No timeline to join MLB roster

    Mauricio went 2-for-2 with two walks, a home run and two RBI for Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, his second straight game with a homer.

    In three games since joining Syracuse's roster, Mauricio has gone 7-for-11 with a double, two steals and a 2:1 BB:K in addition to the two long balls. Given that the 24-year-old infielder missed the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from knee surgery, however, the Mets aren't going to rush him to the majors, Will Sammon of the Athletic reports. "Where we are right now is we have a player who is medically healthy, who has checked off a lot of the boxes in the rehab progression, has worked really hard to get there," Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said last week. "And now we're working him back into [being] Ronny Mauricio, the baseball player who was on the verge, seemingly, of really breaking out at the major-league level. And that takes some time as well." New York also doesn't have a clear opening for Mauricio in the big-league lineup, and he has yet to play back-to-back nine-inning games on defense this year. Despite his hot start at Triple-A, a return to the majors isn't likely until some time in June at the earliest.
