  • Reds' Jonathan India: Pops homer in win

    India went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cardinals.

    India's had a relatively steady bat in June, going 10-for-42 (.238) with two homers and eight RBI over 11 games this month. He's hit safely in nine of those contests, but he has just one multi-hit effort in that span. The second baseman is up to seven homers, 32 RBI, 52 runs scored, 12 stolen bases and 16 doubles while slashing .275/.360/.422 over 66 games this season in a near-everyday role.

  • Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: Takes seat Sunday

    Arroyo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Enrique Hernandez will get the starting nod at the keystone in the series finale, but Arroyo's playing-time outlook appears to have improved coming out of the weekend. With the Red Sox demoting Enmanuel Valdez to Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Arroyo no longer finds himself in the smaller side of a platoon and should have a path to playing second base on a more regular basis. Arroyo started each of the past three games, all of which came against right-handed pitching.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Exits Sunday with leg injury

    Gimenez was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros after five innings due to left leg tightness, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Tyler Freeman came off the bench in the top of the sixth to replace Gimenez, who went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run -- his fourth of the season -- prior to departing. The initial diagnosis doesn't sound overly serious, but fantasy managers will still want to keep tabs on the second baseman's status heading into the Guardians' upcoming three-game series in San Diego. The Guardians are off Monday before heading to the West Coast on Tuesday.

  • Rockies' Harold Castro: Remains on bench

    Castro is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Castro will remain on the bench for a second straight game as the Rockies wrap up their series with the Padres. Coco Montes was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque and will make his major-league debut at second base, batting seventh against San Diego.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Orioles' Adam Frazier: Goes deep Saturday

    Frazier went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Royals.

    Frazier's eighth-inning blast put the finishing touches on the Orioles' win. The second baseman has gone just 8-for-38 (.211) over his last nine games, but five of those hits have gone for extra bases. He'd been seeing some time at leadoff versus right-handed pitchers, but Gunnar Henderson was in that spot Saturday and will be again Sunday. It's unclear if that switch is temporary or something that could stick while Cedric Mullins (groin) is on the injured list. Frazier is slashing .236/.300/.404 with seven homers, 28 RBI, 31 runs scored and six stolen bases over 62 contests.

  • Alan Trejo SS | COL

    Rockies' Alan Trejo: Retreats to minors

    The Rockies optioned Trejo to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

    Trejo had been serving as a short-side platoon option in the infield for the Rockies, but he hadn't been especially effective in that role. Colorado called up infielder Coco Montes from Triple-A to serve as a replacement for Trejo, who has slashed .241/.271/.313 with zero home runs and four stolen bases across 119 plate appearances for Colorado on the season.

  • Coco Montes 2B | TB

    Rockies' Coco Montes: Gets first big-league call-up

    The Rockies selected Montes' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

    Montes has been raking at Albuquerque this season, batting .321 with 12 home runs, 47 RBI, 56 runs and four stolen bases over 282 plate appearances. He'll receive his first call-up to the big leagues and could settle into the short side of a platoon at second base with the lefty-hitting Harold Castro. Colorado optioned Alan Trejo to Albuquerque to clear room on the active roster for Montes.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Gets breather Sunday

    Kim is out of the lineup versus Colorado on Sunday.

    Kim will open Sunday's game on the bench for the first time in the month of June. The slick-fielding infielder will earn some rest, with Rougned Odor getting the start at second base and hitting seventh.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Leading off again Sunday

    Julien will start at second base and serve as the Twins' leadoff hitter in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    After being called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Julien stepped into the table-setting role in the Twins' 9-4 win and went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run. While Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is on the injured list, Julien will have a clear path to everyday playing time at the keystone, and the on-base skills he's demonstrated at every stop of the minors should allow him to gain traction atop the lineup.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Takes seat Sunday

    Altuve is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

    Due to the early start time (12:40 p.m. ET) for the series finale coupled with an off day Monday, the Astros appear to be holding out a number of lineup regulars for rest purposes. Along with Altuve, shortstop Jeremy Pena and catcher Martin Maldonado will be riding the pine Sunday. Mauricio Dubon will man the keystone and hit leadoff in Altuve's stead.
