Schneider went 3-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Red Sox.

After homering Friday in his first big-league at-bat, Schneider made his second straight start at second base and was productive once again. Kevin Kiermaier has been on the bench for both those games, with Daulton Varsho shifting to center field and Whit Merrifield moving out to left, and if Schneider keeps raking, manager John Schneider (no relation) could have some tough lineup decisions to make.

Peguero went 1-for-4 with a run and a stolen base Saturday in an extra-inning loss to Milwaukee.

Peguero was key in helping the Pirates take a 2-0 lead in the fifth inning, as he singled with two outs, stole second base and came around to score on a Jason Delay double. The theft was Peguero's first (and his first attempt) in 14 games as a major leaguer. There may be many more stolen bases to come, as Peguero ranks in the 97th percentile in sprint speed and swiped over 20 bags in each of his past three seasons in the minors.

Andrus went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, two total runs and two stolen bases in a 7-4 victory against Cleveland on Saturday.

It was a big game for the veteran infielder, as he hit just his third homer of the campaign while swiping a pair of bags. Andrus finished with his second three-hit game of the season and snapped out of a six-game cold spell during which he went 1-for-13. The 34-year-old had already been seeing increased playing time since Jake Burger was traded at the deadline, and Andrus could be needed to fill in temporarily at shortstop if Tim Anderson, who exchanged punches in an on-field fight with Jose Ramirez on Saturday, is suspended as a result.

Torres went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's victory over the Astros.

Torres got on base in two of his first three trips to the plate but was left stranded on both occasions. He then jumped on a hanging sinker to open the bottom of the eighth, sending it into the stands to put the Yankees up 3-1. The second baseman has now recorded multiple hits in three of his last four contests and is batting .500 through five games in August.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Rojas will sit in favor of Jose Caballero with a lefty (Tyler Anderson) on the mound for the opposition, just as he did Friday. It's looking a lot like a platoon at the keystone, with Rojas handling the strong-side role. Rojas is 0-for-6 in two games since coming over from Arizona at the trade deadline.

The Pirates optioned Capra to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Bailey Falter was added in place of Capra, who got the start at second base Friday and went 0-for-3 with a walk. It was the 27-year-old's third career start in the major leagues. He's put together a decent campaign at Triple-A between Buffalo and Indianapolis (.287/.421/.395) and may get another look before the end of the season.

The Giants optioned Diaz to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Thairo Estrada's return from a hand injury will bump Diaz from the active roster. Once a highly touted prospect, Diaz fizzled out in Miami and has gone just 1-for-19 across two stints with San Francisco this season. He could be a DFA candidate later this year.

Estrada (hand) was activated from the injured list and will start at second base in Saturday's game against the A's, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Estrada will return to the two hole against right-hander Paul Blackburn after a brief, three-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento. Many were skeptical of Estrada's breakout last season, but he was silencing his critics with a .272/.327/.434 line, nine homers and 18 steals in 70 games before the hand injury. While he may still have some rust to knock off, most fantasy managers will want to get him back in their lineup as soon as possible.

Massey went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-5 win over the Phillies.

Massey's long ball sparked a sixth-inning rally for the Royals. The second baseman is hitting .213 over 18 games since the All-Star break, but he's swatted five homers and three doubles among 13 hits in that span. For the season, he's at a .218/.276/.364 slash line with nine homers, five steals, 33 RBI and 23 runs scored through 83 contests. He hit third Friday, just the third time all year he's been in the top third of the order.

Ibanez was a late addition to Saturday's lineup against the Rays, batting sixth and manning second base.

Javier Baez (undisclosed) was scratched, so Ibanez enters at second base and Zack Short slides to shortstop. This will be Ibanez's second start against a righty since July 24.
