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.

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.

Frazier went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-4 extra-innings win over the Rays.

Frazier's playing time has been inconsistent in May, but a spot opened up for him with Michael Massey (back) unavailable Saturday. Frazier has gone 9-for-36 (.250) over 11 contests this month, adding three extra-base hits and a 3:6 BB:K. He's at a .208/.310/.277 slash line with one home run, two steals, nine RBI and 11 runs scored over 116 plate appearances this season. Massey dealt with back issues earlier in the campaign, so there's a path for Frazier to regain a regular role if his teammate requires a stint on the injured list. Garrett Hampson could also see more time at second base, though Frazier would have the platoon advantage.

Grissom isn't in the Red Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Grissom has gone just 1-for-18 across his last five contests, so he'll sit out Saturday in order to regroup. David Hamilton and Ceddanne Rafaela will make up Boston's middle infield while Grissom is on the bench.

Frazier is starting at second base and batting sixth against the Rays on Saturday.

Frazier will get his first start at second base since May 18 against the Athletics. With Michael Massey dealing with lower-back tightness, Frazier could see some more time at second base in the immediate future. Frazier has gone 6-for-31 with one home run and three RBI in May.

Massey (back) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

Massey exited in the sixth inning of Friday's 8-1 over win over Tampa Bay due to lower-back tightness. Before the injury, he went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in the top of the fifth inning. While the Royals evaluate Massey's back injury, Adam Frazier will start at second base Saturday and bat sixth against Rays right-hander Aaron Civale.

Mateo is not in the Orioles' starting lineup Saturday against the White Sox.

After going 1-for-2 with a three-run home run, two stolen bases and two walks Thursday, Mateo went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 6-4 win over Chicago. He'll take a seat to begin Saturday's contest, as the Orioles start Ramon Urias at third base against White Sox right-hander Erick Fedde.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Mariners.

With the Nationals trailing 1-0, Garcia gave MacKenzie Gore all the support he would need by driving a George Kirby slider over the fence in left-center field. It was the second baseman's second long ball in the last four games and his fifth of the season. After a 3-for-33 swoon in the middle of May, Garcia could be heating up again, as he's gone 5-for-16 with six RBI in those last four contests.

Triolo went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Friday against Atlanta.

Triolo has struggled at the plate for much of the season, though Friday's long ball was his second in his last seven games. He's also hit .280 with four runs scored and six RBI in that span. So long as Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) is sidelined, Triolo should remain the primary starter at third base for Pittsburgh.

Gonzales went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, four RBI and a run scored Friday against Atlanta.

Gonzales has swung the bat well since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, and he is currently in the midst of a five-game hitting streak. In that span, he's gone 8-for-20 with seven RBI and three runs scored. He's been locked into the fifth spot in the order and should be the Pirates' everyday second baseman for the foreseeable future.
