  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Could be out longer than 10 days

    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said it's possible Seager (hamstring) will require longer than a minimum stay on the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

    Seager missed just 10 days of action the first time he strained his right hamstring, but the Rangers figure to be more cautious this time around after he aggravated the injury and had to go back on the IL this week. The shortstop is eligible for activation May 21 during the second game of a six-game road trip, but a return sometime during the Rangers' May 26 to June 1 homestand seems likelier for Seager.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Plates three runs in loss

    Bichette went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss to the Rays.

    Bichette got the Blue Jays on the board with a two-run homer in the third for his second long ball in his last three games and third in his last nine after he had none in his first 32 games of the year. It seems as if Bichette's power is slowly starting to return, and he's got four extra-base hits, seven RBI and a 6:4 BB:K in his last six games.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Mashes two homers

    Wilson went 4-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Wilson led the way in the Athletics' five-homer attack that stunned the Dodgers. The shortstop saw a seven-game hitting streak snapped Sunday versus the Yankees, but this was his sixth multi-hit effort in his last nine contests. Wilson also went yard for the first time since April 25 versus the White Sox. He's been superb so far, batting .363 with a .902 OPS, five homers, 26 RBI, 24 runs scored and two stolen bases over 40 contests in 2025. Wilson's hot hitting has earned him the leadoff spot over the last five games, including three times against right-handed pitchers.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Not starting Tuesday

    Smith (back) is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Smith will be out of Texas' lineup for a second consecutive game while nursing a sore lower back. Jake Burger will start at first base and bat seventh while Ezequiel Duran mans shortstop against Rockies southpaw Kyle Freeland.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Placed on IL

    Seager (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    This will be Seager's second IL stint of the season with a right hamstring strain. The last time he missed under two weeks. Josh Smith (back) and Ezequiel Duran should fill in at shortstop. Kyle Higashioka was recalled in a corresponding move.

  • Marcelo Mayer SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Looking like Boston's best option

    Mayer is slashing .269/.333/.478 with seven home runs, one steal and a 19.3 percent strikeout rate in 34 games for Triple-A Worcester.

    Perhaps more notable than Mayer's start to the season is the fact that Trevor Story was benched Tuesday amid a deep slump and David Hamilton, who has a 25 wRC+ in 20 games, got the start at shortstop in Story's place. It seems like things are aligning for Mayer to get a shot in the majors sooner rather than later.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Sitting amid slump

    Story is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Tigers.

    Story had started seven games in a row and 40 of 43 games he was available for, but he is hitting .122 with a 35 percent strikeout rate over his last 18 games. David Hamilton, who is batting .180 this year, is starting at shortstop and batting eighth.

  • Rayne Doncon 3B | MIN

    Twins' Rayne Doncon: Shelved for Kernels

    High-A Cedar Rapids placed Doncon on the 7-day injured list April 12 with an undisclosed injury.

    The 21-year-old corner infielder hit .063 with one home run and a 44.4 percent strikeout rate in five games before landing on the shelf. Doncon hit .254 with 11 home runs, six steals and a 21.9 percent strikeout rate last year while splitting the year between Single-A and High-A.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Rejoining Triple-A club

    The White Sox transferred Montgomery from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Montgomery will rejoin Charlotte for the first time since late April, after he was sent back to extended spring training to work on his swing mechanics upon slashing .149/.223/.255 with a 41.7 percent strikeout rate over 103 plate appearances to begin the International League season. The 23-year-old returned to action when the ACL season began earlier this month and appeared in five games, going 3-for-17 with a 2:4 BB:K. Despite the middling results in his limited sample of action in Arizona, the White Sox were evidently satisfied enough with Montgomery's plate approach to have him report back to Charlotte. If he can get back in track at Triple-A and keep his strikeouts in check, Montgomery could still be a candidate to make his MLB debut at some point later this season.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Gets another start at shortstop

    Duran started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.

    Duran make his second straight start in place of the injured Corey Seager (hamstring). Josh Smith is typically the next man up at shortstop, but he was unavailable Monday due to back soreness. Once or both of Seager and Smith return to action, Duran will likely see fewer opportunities in the Texas infield.
