  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Returns to Cardinals' lineup

    Arenado (back) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Friday's game versus the Nationals.

    Arenado was a late scratch from the Cardinals' lineup Wednesday due to back spasms, but he's feeling well enough to play following the team's off day Thursday. The veteran third baseman will carry a modest four-game hitting streak into Friday's series opener.

  • Otto Kemp 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Otto Kemp: Hot start at Triple-A

    Kemp is slashing .331/.423/.662 with 10 home runs, five steals and a 27.0 percent strikeout rate in 35 games for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Kemp has started 19 games at third base, seven games at first base and six games at second base while logging the second-highest wRC+ (184) in the International League. His .419 BABIP illustrates how fortunate Kemp has been in the early going, but he's nonetheless looking ready for his first taste of the majors if the Phillies deal with any injuries to their infield.

  • Aaron Schunk 3B | ATL

    Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Making progress

    Schunk (groin) has resumed baseball activity, MLB.com reports.

    Schunk has been sidelined since April 26. He has resumed fielding and batting practice as well as baserunning drills, but a timeline for his return is still unclear.

  • Andy Ibanez 2B | ATH

    Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Drives in two Thursday

    Ibanez went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

    Ibanez helped lead the Tigers to an easy 10-2 win then began the nightcap on the bench, though he did enter the contest late as a defensive replacement. The utility player has a solid .259 batting average and .746 OPS to go along with two home runs and 12 RBI in 25 games, but his inconsistent playing time limits his overall fantasy appeal.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Continues to hit for average

    Bohm went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 7-6 extra-inning victory over the Rays.

    Through his first seven games in May, Bohm is batting .308 with one home run, one double, four RBI and four runs scored over 26 at-bats. The corner infielder hasn't hit for much power overall in 2025, but he's batting .304 (24-for-79) across his last 21 outings. Bohm began the season in the top half of Philadelphia's lineup, but he'll likely stick in the lower part of the batting order unless he starts to supply more pop.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Continues to thrive at home

    Caminero went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

    It was the slugging third baseman's first multi-RBI effort since April 17. Caminero also has just one multi-hit effort in his last 15 outings, but he has consistently occupied a premium spot in Tampa Bay's batting order. It's also worth noting he's thrived at hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field this season, as Caminero is batting .298 with an .891 OPS over 94 at-bats at home while hitting a paltry .122 with a .330 OPS across 41 at-bats on the road.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Out of lineup Thursday

    Rengifo is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Rhett Bollinger reports.

    Rengifo remains a key part of the Angels' lineup, though he has started to sit more of late. He began the regular season with only one day off through 21 games, but he since appears to be settling into a pattern of getting at least one day off per week. His slight downturn in playing time could be a result of his slow start at the dish, as he has just a .210/.246/.277 line across 126 plate appearances. Both Yoan Moncada and Tim Anderson are in the lineup Thursday in Rengifo's absence.

  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Nationals' Amed Rosario: On base four times Wednesday

    Rosario went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Guardians.

    Getting the start at third base against southpaw Logan Allen and batting second, Rosario produced his second three-hit effort in his last three games. The veteran infielder has boosted his slash line on the season to .279/.300/.442 with two homers, one steal, nine RBI and 11 runs in 70 plate appearances, but he remains stuck in a timeshare at the hot corner with Jose Tena.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Taking seat Thursday

    Rojas is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Kansas City.

    The left-handed-hitting Rojas has now been out of the lineup both times the White Sox have faced a lefty since he returned from the injured list this past weekend, so he looks to be on the strong side of a platoon as he bounces back and forth between third base and second base. Miguel Vargas is at the hot corner and Lenyn Sosa is at the keystone for Thursday's series finale.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Promotion made official

    The Rangers recalled Duran from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

    The Rangers played a man short in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, as they put Kevin Pillar (back) on the injured list prior to the contest but had to wait for Duran to arrive in Boston after traveling. Duran is with the big club now, and he'll serve in a utility role.
