Ramon Urias 2B | HOU
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Maintaining steady role
Urias will start at third base and bat second in Sunday's game against the Angels.
Jordan Westburg's return from the injured list Tuesday hasn't cut into Urias' playing time, as the veteran infielder will pick up his fourth start in five contests Sunday. Urias has turned in a respectable .740 OPS so far in June, and he should be in store for semi-regular starts at least until Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is back from the injured list.

Royce Lewis 3B | MIN
Twins' Royce Lewis: Goes on IL on Sunday
The Twins placed Lewis (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.
A left hamstring strain will force Lewis to the IL for the second time this season, after he previously missed the first five and a half weeks of the campaign. Though the recurring nature of the injury is troubling, the Twins are hoping Lewis's absence won't be as lengthy this time around after an MRI revealed that his latest strain is of the mild variety. Even so, he'll likely to miss more than the minimum 10 days. With Brooks Lee and Willi Castro already playing nearly every day at other positions, Jonah Bride could end up seeing the biggest uptick in playing time while Lewis is sidelined.

Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM
Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Clubs second homer
Mauricio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Rays.
Mauricio struck out in two of his four plate appearances, but he made the most of his lone hit by taking Drew Rasmussen deep to right field in the fifth inning. It was the second long ball and second RBI of the campaign for the young infielder, who has gone 1-for-13 at the plate over his past four games. Mauricio is batting just .188 through 36 plate appearances, but he's getting consistent playing time and has started seven of the Mets' past eight contests.

Brooks Lee SS | MIN
Twins' Brooks Lee: Accounts for team's only runs
Lee went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Astros on Saturday.
Minnesota's offense was held to three hits in the contest, but Lee kept the game close with his two-run blast off Hunter Brown in the fifth inning. The long ball extended Lee's hitting streak to 14 games, and he's batting .321 (18-for-56) with two homers, nine RBI, seven runs and a stolen base over that span. With Royce Lewis (hamstring) headed for the injured list, Lee should be set for an everyday role at third base for at least the short-term.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Goes yard Saturday
Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.
Ramirez has been held hitless just twice over his last 35 games, with one of those instances being Friday against the Mariners. The third baseman rebounded with a fifth-inning homer Saturday, tying the game at 2-2. As usual, Ramirez has been one of the best players in baseball in 2025, and he's doing so this year with a little more success at the plate. He's slashing .329/.391/.552 with 13 homers, 20 stolen bases, 34 RBI, 43 runs scored, 15 doubles and one triple over 67 contests. He hasn't hit over .300 in a full season since 2017, but Ramirez has all of the tools to maintain strong production across the board.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN
Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Reaches 20-homer mark
Suarez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Padres.
Suarez has homered four times over his last seven games, going 7-for-27 (.259) with nine strikeouts in that span. The third baseman reached the 20-homer mark for the year with his fourth-inning blast. He's added a .231/.307/.518 slash line with 55 RBI, 42 runs scored, 13 doubles and one stolen base over 70 contests. Suarez hit 30 homers in 158 games last season, but he's on pace to top the 40-homer mark for just the second time in his career in 2025.

Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA
Angels' Luis Rengifo: Crushes two homers
Rengifo went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.
Rengifo entered the contest with just one homer through 61 games this year, but he went yard twice Saturday in Baltimore. The 28-year-old has been hitting well lately with six hits in his last four games, but his two home runs were the first to go for extra bases since May 17. He is now slashing .220/.252/.294 on the season.

Royce Lewis 3B | MIN
Twins' Royce Lewis: Headed to injured list
The Twins will place Lewis on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Lewis sat out Saturday's contest while the Twins ran tests on the hamstring that he injured Friday. He'll now spend at least the next 10 days on the shelf, though the Twins may take extreme caution bringing the 26-year-old back from the injured list since this is already the second time this season he's strained his left hamstring. Brooks Lee will likely pick up most of the starts at third base until Lewis returns.

Mark Vientos DH | NYM
Mets' Mark Vientos: Rehab assignment on deck
Vientos (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse early next week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Vientos landed on the injured list June 3 with a right hamstring strain, but he's been progressing quicker than initially expected and is now close to returning to a competitive setting. The Mets haven't specified how long they plan on keeping the 25-year-old infielder in the minors, though a return to Queens before the end of the month seems likely.

Paul DeJong SS | NYY
Nationals' Paul DeJong: Closing in on rehab stint
DeJong (orbital) will meet with his surgeon Saturday and could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment early next week, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
DeJong has been out since taking a Mitch Keller fastball to the face April 15. He faced live pitching Wednesday for the first time since the incident, and came away feeling ready to ramp back up. Manager Dave Martinez indicated that DeJong would be brought along slowly once he kicks off his rehab stint, but the 31-year-old infielder remains on track to rejoin the Nationals in early July.
