  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Sent for MRI on oblique

    Lowe will undergo an MRI on his right oblique and won't be available for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Rays manager Kevin Cash said that it's "fair to say he will miss some time," so while Lowe hasn't yet been placed on the 10-day injured list, he seems likely to be deactivated prior to Friday's series opener versus the Giants. The MRI will determine the severity of the injury and should help provide the Rays with a rough timeline for how long Lowe might be sidelined. Lowe was out of the lineup for the Rays' past two games against left-handed pitching, but he'll be on the bench Wednesday against a right-hander (Jose Soriano) for the first time. Curtis Mead will draw a third straight start and will likely be headed for a full-time role at second base if Lowe does in fact land on the IL.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Moved down to eight spot

    Stott will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Stott is slashing just .206/.317/.235 in his first 11 contests this season, so he'll be dropped from sixth to eighth in the Phillies' batting order. He's switching spots with Brandon Marsh, who has been elevated to sixth.

  • Cavan Biggio RF | KC

    Blue Jays' Cavan Biggio: Steals bag Tuesday

    Biggio went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

    The steal was his first of the season. Biggio has hit safely in five straight games and has been a near-everyday fixture in the Blue Jays' lineup, primarily at second base, but the team also hasn't faced many left-handed starters yet. Through 11 contests, the 28-year-old is batting .290 (9-for-31) with one homer, three runs and four RBI.

  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Idle against right-handed pitcher

    Lux is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    The lefty-hitting Lux will exit the starting nine for the fifth time this season, though Wednesday marks the first occasion that he's on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Chris Paddack). Mookie Betts will shift over from shortstop to fill in at second base for Lux, who is slashing .179/.238/.205 through 42 plate appearances on the season after missing the entire 2023 season while recovering from a torn ACL and LCL in his right knee.

  • Tony Kemp 2B | MIN

    Orioles' Tony Kemp: Cut from 40-man roster

    The Orioles designated Kemp for assignment Wednesday.

    Kemp's removal from the 40-man roster opens a spot for top prospect Jackson Holliday, who was called up from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move and is expected to take on a near-everyday role in the middle infield. Though he was able to crack the Orioles' Opening Day roster when he was signed shortly after being cut by the Reds in spring training, Kemp appeared in only five of Baltimore's first 10 games while going hitless in his nine at-bats.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Looks healthy in return

    India started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a walk and stolen base in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to Milwaukee.

    India, who was scratched from Monday's game after taking a batted ball off his leg during pregame warmups, returned to the lineup. All signs indicate the scratch was a precautionary move by manager David Bell. India played the field, batted leadoff and recorded his second steal.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Adds another homer

    Gorman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Phillies.

    Gorman broke a scoreless tie with a 419-foot blast to center field off Zack Wheeler in the fourth. Gorman now leads the Cardinals early on with three homers and showed his power upside a year ago by hitting 27 home runs.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Sitting versus southpaw

    Garcia is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Giants, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Garcia will get a breather as the Nationals square off with lefty Kyle Harrison. The switch-hitting Ildemaro Vargas will replace him at second base, batting seventh versus the Giants.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Receives Tuesday off

    Marte is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Colorado.

    Marte started the first 11 games of the season and has an .883 OPS with three doubles, three homers, seven RBI and 11 runs in 53 plate appearances, but he'll step out of the lineup Tuesday. Jace Peterson will take over at the keystone and bat sixth.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Batting third Tuesday

    Sosa will start at second base and bat third in Tuesday's contest in Cleveland.

    Sosa was just recalled over the weekend and is making his second start in four games. Nicky Lopez will receive the day off.
