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.

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.

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.

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.
