  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Close to being activated

    Manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Edman (ankle) is close to returning from the 10-day injured list, DodgersBeat.com reports.

    Roberts didn't offer up a specific return date, but it appears Edman could be activated this weekend versus the Angels or early next week against the Diamondbacks. The 30-year-old suffered an ankle injury in late April and is poised to rejoin the Dodgers without embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. Hyeseong Kim has taken advantage of Edman's absence with a 1.038 OPS in his first 12 big-league contests, but the veteran utility player shouldn't have an issue maintaining a regular spot in the lineup after posting a .252/.295/.523 slash line with eight homers, two steals, 24 RBI and 19 runs in his first 30 games this year.

  • Coco Montes 2B | TB

    Rays' Coco Montes: Returns to Triple-A

    The Rays optioned Montes to Triple-A Durham on Friday.

    The 28-year-old was promoted Tuesday with Yandy Diaz heading to the restricted list, but Diaz was returned to the active roster Friday. Montes didn't see the field during his brief time in the majors, though he appeared in five big-league games earlier in the season and went 2-for-10 with an RBI and three strikeouts.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Taking seat Friday

    Sosa is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

    Sosa started each of the previous eight contests, but he will get a breather for the series opener against the ChiSox's crosstown rival. Josh Rojas will be at second base and bat eighth.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Up-and-down season continues

    Semien went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 1-0 win over Houston.

    Semien appeared to be coming out of a season-opening funk when he was dropped mid-April from leadoff to fifth in the order, but any initial success was fleeting. He posted a .271 average and .702 OPS over 14 games immediately after the change but recently is 4-for-33 (.121) with a .407 OPS across the last nine contests.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: On base five times in win

    Kim went 3-for-3 with a double, two walks, two RBI, one stolen base and four runs scored in Thursday's 19-2 win over the Athletics.

    From the No. 9 hole, Kim was able to have another strong performance, earning his first three-hit game in the majors. He also drew his first two walks in the contest. Kim is now batting .429 with a home run, five RBI, nine runs scored and three steals across 30 plate appearances to begin his big-league career. He's seeing time at second base and in center field against right-handed pitchers, though he could soon take on a reduced role with Tommy Edman (ankle) nearing his return from the IL.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Club two homers in win

    Lowe went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Lowe quickly opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the first inning, and he did the same thing to close out the scoring in the ninth. He torched Toronto pitching in this three-game series, going 7-for-13 with three extra-base hits and six RBI. That has Lowe's OPS up to .645 on the year, his highest mark since he was at .660 following an April 16 game versus the Red Sox. He's batting .220 with seven homers, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored, a stolen base and two doubles over 162 plate appearances.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Getting day off

    Urias is out of the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.

    This marks Urias' first day off since April 19. He's hit .268 with five home runs, eight RBI and 10 runs scored across 22 games in that span. Max Schuemann will take over at second base and hit ninth.

  • Matt McLain SS | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Goes yard in win

    McLain went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored during Thursday's 7-1 win over the White Sox.

    McLain got off to a slow start to 2025, slashing .160/.282/.290 across his first 100 at-bats spanning 28 games, but the 25-year-old seems to be turning a corner. In nine games since, McLain is 8-for-32 (.250) with a pair of home runs, six runs scored and four stolen bases. He's up to six homers on the season.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Swats first career homer

    Kim went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.

    Kim's first major-league long ball was a 385-foot solo shot in the fifth inning that tied the score. Since he was called up from the minors May 3, the rookie infielder has recorded three multi-hit games and is batting a robust .360 (9-for-25). The homer Wednesday was Kim's first extra-base hit, but he's also contributed a pair of stolen bases, five runs and three RBI.

  • Tony Kemp 2B | MIN

    Tony Kemp: Retiring from baseball

    Kemp announced his retirement from professional baseball Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Kemp is calling it a career after slashing .237/.324/.351 over parts of nine major-league seasons. The 33-year-old utility player played for the Athletics, Astros, Cubs and Orioles.
