Jorge Polanco 2B | NYM
Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Leaves game with hamstring injury
Polanco left Sunday's game against the Nationals due to right hamstring tightness.
It's unclear when Polanco sustained the injury, but Josh Rojas came in at third base in the bottom of the sixth inning while Dylan Moore shifted to second base. Polanco missed seven games in May due to a right hamstring issue, and he is set to have an MRI on Monday, per Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM. Before leaving Sunday's game, Polanco went 1-for-2 with an RBI on an infielder's choice in the second inning.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Receiving rest Sunday
Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Lowe will get a maintenance day in the series finale after going 1-for-16 at the plate while starting in five games since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday. Amed Rosario will spell him at second base.

Adam Frazier 2B | KC
Royals' Adam Frazier: Filling in for injured Massey
Frazier will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rays.
Frazier will draw a second straight start at the keystone and looks poised to see most of the starts at the position after the Royals placed Michael Massey (back) on the 10-day injured list Sunday. The Royals will likely turn to Garrett Hampson or Nick Loftin at second base over the lefty-hitting Frazier when Kansas City opposes left-handed starters.

Nick Loftin 1B | KC
Royals' Nick Loftin: Summoned from Triple-A
The Royals recalled Loftin from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.
He'll take the 26-man active roster spot of infielder Michael Massey (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Between the majors and Triple-A level, Loftin has seen time at four different defensive spots (first base, second base third base and left field), so he'll provide Kansas City with some versatility off the bench while he's up with the big club. Most of his starts will likely come versus left-handed pitching.

Zach Remillard 2B | CHW
White Sox's Zach Remillard: Starting Sunday
Remillard will start at shortstop and bat eighth for Sunday's series finale against Baltimore.
Remillard will get the start Sunday while Paul DeJong rests. Since returning to the majors May 8, Remillard has gone 6-for-20 with one RBI and five walks.

Michael Massey 2B | KC
Royals' Michael Massey: Shelved with back sprain
The Royals placed Massey on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a low back ligament sprain.
The transaction is retroactive to Saturday, so he'll be eligible to rejoin the 26-man active roster beginning June 4. Kansas City called up infielder Nick Loftin from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move, but Adam Frazier will pick up his second straight start at the keystone Sunday and should serve as the Royals' primary second baseman while Massey is on the mend from the injury.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Held out against lefty
Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The lefty-hitting Keith will take a seat for the series finale while southpaw Yusei Kikuchi takes the hill for Toronto. Andy Ibanez will fill in for Keith at the keystone.

Nolan Gorman 2B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Swipes bag in win
Gorman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Cubs.
Gorman's game is more power than speed, but he's done a little of both with three home runs and two steals over his last six contests. Those two thefts account for his season total. The second baseman is slashing .215/.308/.423 with eight homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored and seven doubles over 169 plate appearances on the year. He's not making a lot of contact; his 35.5 percent strikeout rate is an anchor on the rest of his stat line.

Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Homers, steals base in win
Turang went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base Saturday in Boston.
His third home run of the season came in the eighth inning off reliever Zack Kelly. Turang had drawn a walk and notched his 19th stolen base of the season earlier in the contest. After going 26-for-30 in stolen base attempts as a rookie, Turang is now a perfect 19-for-19 in 2024. Only Elly De La Cruz has more this season with 31.
