  • Max Schuemann 2B | NYY

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Goes deep in Sunday's loss

    Schuemann went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Mariners.

    Schuemann sent one deep off Luis Castillo in the fifth for his second home run of the year. That's now consecutive games with an extra-base hit and an RBI for Schuemann, who's slashing .280/.400/.520 with five RBI, six runs and a 5:5 BB:K over his last eight games.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Athletics' Abraham Toro: Goes deep in loss

    Toro went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Mariners.

    Toro launched his fourth home run of the year to begin the sixth off Luis Castillo. It's a continuation of what's been a ridiculously hot stretch at the plate for Toro. Over his last 16 games, the 27-year-old is slashing .410/.455/.607 with two homers, nine RBI and 12 runs scored. He has led off in six straight games, all against righties, and has been more of a middle-of-the-order hitter against southpaws. For the season, Toro is now slashing .299/.351/.460 with 13 extra-base hits, 17 RBI, 20 runs and a 7:26 BB:K in 148 plate appearances.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Lifts homer in win

    Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-0 win over the White Sox.

    Gimenez had gone 0-for-15 with one walk and a stolen base over his previous four games. He snapped the skid with a fourth-inning solo shot, his second homer of the year. The second baseman is at a .242/.307/.342 slash line with 20 RBI, 20 runs scored and five stolen bases through 38 contests. He's remained in the No. 2 spot in the order versus right-handers since Steven Kwan (hamstring) went on the injured list, but the Guardians haven't gotten much hitting from the trio of Estevan Florial, Brayan Rocchio or Tyler Freeman, who had all gotten looks at leadoff in that span. As such, Gimenez's chances to produce RBI will likely be down in the near term.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Gets going with home run

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sundays 4-0 win over the Dodgers.

    Bogaerts gave the Padres some extra breathing room with a solo shot off Gus Varland in the fifth. The long ball was his first since April 21, his first RBI since April 25 and his first hit in 17 at-bats since May 6. Bogaerts is still searching for a spark offensively this season, as he's slashing just .211/.264/.301 with three homers, 12 RBI, 22 runs and a 12:36 BB:K in 178 plate appearances.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Plays full rehab game again

    Gelof (oblique) played a full game at second base in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Round Rock on Sunday, going 0-for-3 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a walk.

    Gelof's ability to play a full game for the second straight day is certainly an encouraging sign for his progress from his oblique injury. The young infielder could be on the verge of activation, although the Athletics will undoubtedly evaluate him carefully Monday to see how he's responded to the back-to-back full workloads over the weekend.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Three hits, steal in loss

    India went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Giants.

    India posted his second multi-hit effort of May, but he's still hitting a modest .216 (8-for-37) for the month. All three of his hits Sunday were singles. The second baseman is up to a .225/.331/.310 slash line with two home runs, four steals, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, three doubles and a triple over 35 contests this season. Despite his lackluster hitting, India's fourth on the team in batting average and sixth in OPS, so it's unlikely he'll lose a starting role any time soon.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Two hits, swipes bag Sunday

    Julien went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Julien led the game off with a single and added another base knock in the top of the eighth, stealing second base and scoring on an RBI double by Max Kepler in the frame. The stolen base was his fifth of the season and third over the last four games. Julien is now batting .224 with seven home runs, 15 RBI, 21 runs scored and five stolen bases over 125 at-bats in 40 games this year.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Swipes two bags in loss

    Stott went 2-for-2 with three walks, two stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Marlins.

    Stott found a way to get on base in each of his plate appearances Sunday while also swiping two bags in the loss. He has recorded 10 stolen bases on the season while getting caught only once. Stott has notched at least one hit in eight out of his last nine contests, batting .414 with four extra-base hits, nine RBI, nine runs scored and five stolen bases over that stretch.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Gets aboard three times

    Rodgers went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

    Rodgers has hit safely in seven straight games, and four of those have been multi-hit performances. He's gone 11-for-27 (.407) in that span, but he's also logged just one extra-base hit, a double, during the streak. Rodgers had a mostly inconsistent start to the campaign, but he's up to a decent .268/.316/.354 slash line with one home run, eight RBI, 14 runs scored, six doubles and a triple through 36 contests. It's not a great line, but the second baseman could still find his power again with his home games at hitter-friendly Coors Field, though he's also sporting a 25.0 percent strikeout rate, his highest in four years.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Resumes rehab stint

    Lowe (oblique) is in the lineup at second base for Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Lowe began his rehab assignment Tuesday and has gone 2-for-5 with three walks, one home run and four RBI over three games. He was pulled from Durham's game Friday for precautionary reasons, but the 29-year-old is back in action Sunday. Lowe appeared in eight games for the Rays before landing on the 10-day IL on April 12.
