  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Smacks eighth homer in win

    Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.

    Henderson smacked his eighth homer of the season, and he's really begun to settle in following a delayed start to the year due to an intercostal strain. Over his last 30 games, the star shortstop is batting a .279 (34-for-122) with five long balls, five doubles, 11 RBI, and 18 runs scored. Henderson entered Thursday with a top-notch 55.3 percent hard-hit rate, so perhaps he even has some room for improvement in the power department.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Keeps raking

    Wilson went 3-for-5 with a home run and three total runs scored in Thursday's 14-3 rout over Minnesota.

    Wilson has been one of the best hitters in baseball since mid-May -- the rookie shortstop has gone 28-for-63 (.445) with three homers in his last 16 games. The 23-year-old Wilson is batting .363, tied with Freddie Freeman for the second-best mark in the majors, with a .925 OPS, eight homers, 34 RBI and 34 runs scored through 255 plate appearances this season.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Homers in win

    Bichette went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 9-1 win over the Phillies.

    Bichette gave the Blue Jays a 4-0 lead with a 413-foot blast in the second inning. The shortstop has found his power stroke during a nine-game hit streak that includes four home runs, two doubles, a triple and 10 RBI. On the year, he's slashing .279/.324/.443 with eight long balls, 35 RBI, 27 runs scored and four stolen bases across 281 plate appearances.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Perfect at the plate in win

    Meidroth went 2-for-2 with three walks and one RBI in Thursday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

    Meidroth was a thorn in the Tigers' side all game, giving the White Sox a 2-0 lead with an RBI single in the fourth. He's opened June on a tear, going 10-for-17 with four multi-hit efforts in his first five games. While he's homered just once this season, the rookie is slashing an impressive .312/.401/.369 with eight RBI, 18 runs scored and eight steals across 162 plate appearances.

  • Tanner Schobel SS | MIN

    Twins' Tanner Schobel: Promoted to Triple-A

    Schobel was promoted to Triple-A St. Paul after hitting .295/.375/.470 with seven home runs and seven stolen bases in 49 games at Double-A Wichita. He went 0-for-3 in his first game Wednesday for St. Paul.

    The 68th overall pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft didn't impress the last two seasons at Double-A (.634 OPS in 2023 and .637 OPS in 2024) but has found more power this season. He's also reduced his strikeout rate to 14.2%, the lowest of his career. He'll need to show he can maintain these improvements in Triple-A.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Sitting down Thursday

    Caballero isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    The Rays will give Caballero a day to regroup after he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Wednesday's contest. Taylor Walls will fill in at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Starting Thursday

    Sweeney is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Thursday's game against the White Sox.

    Sweeney has seen his playing time dwindle recently, as he only started one of Detroit's four previous games, but he'll get a chance to play in Thursday's afternoon tilt. The shortstop has been squeezed a bit by Zach McKinstry and Javier Baez. The latter started the year in center field but has since seen more time in the infield due to the return of Wenceel Perez and, more recently, Parker Meadows. As long as McKinstry and Baez stay productive at the plate, Sweeney may have to settle for a bench spot more often than not.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Set to remain out Thursday

    Correa (back) confirmed after Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Athletics that he will remain out of the lineup for Thursday's series finale in Sacramento, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. "We're taking the smart option of taking these two days [off] so I can go back home and play at home," Correa said, regarding his exclusion from the lineup Wednesday and Thursday. "I'm not going to be slipping at the plate."

    Correa was scratched from the starting nine ahead of Wednesday's contest due to back tightness, an issue that he said was causing him to slip in the batter's box recently. The veteran shortstop and the Twins both agreed it was in his best interest to get two days off to allow his back pain to subside, but the expectation is that he'll be back in the lineup Friday versus the Blue Jays. Brooks Lee got the start at shortstop in Correa's stead Wednesday and will likely fill in for Correa again Thursday.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Scratched with back tightness

    Correa was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Athletics due to back tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    The severity of Correa's injury remains unknown, but it's apparently enough to warrant keeping him on the bench for Wednesday's contest. Brooks Lee will enter the starting nine in Correa's place, batting eighth while playing shortstop.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Good to go Wednesday

    Wilson (neck) is starting at shortstop and batting second Wednesday against the Twins, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    The 23-year-old sat out Tuesday's contest after he tweaked his neck during Monday's series opener versus Minnesota, but he'll rejoin the starting nine after missing just one game. Wilson has been on fire at the plate over the past couple weeks with a .426 average (23-for-54), four doubles, two homers, three steals, six RBI and six runs in his past 14 games.
