  • 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.

  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Resting Sunday

    Lux is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Miguel Rojas will pick up a start at the keystone in the series finale while Lux rests. The 26-year-old has started in six of the Dodgers' first nine games in May, going 4-for-19 with a home run, three walks, two RBI and three runs.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Not starting in series finale

    Frazier is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Angels.

    The lefty-hitting Frazier will sit for a second straight game with the Angels sending out southpaw Patrick Sandoval for Sunday's series finale. Michael Massey will start at second base while Nelson Velazquez serves as the Royals' designated hitter Sunday. Frazier is slashing .188/.309/.250 with one home run and eight RBI over 94 plate appearances this season.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL

    Giants' Thairo Estrada: Sitting for series finale

    Estrada is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Estrada will sit for the first time since April 26, and Brett Wisely will start at second base Sunday against Reds right-hander Frankie Montas. Estrada is slashing .295/.340/.477 with two home runs and eight RBI in May.

  • Nicky Lopez 3B | CHC

    White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Resting against lefty

    With southpaw Logan Allen on the hill for Cleveland, the lefty-hitting Lopez will take a seat. Zach Remillard will replace Lopez at second base in the series finale.
