Wilson went 3-for-6 with three RBI in Monday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Mariners.

This was Wilson's fifth multi-hit effort over his last six games. Not only did his bat stay hot, but he got his knocks at the right time -- he delivered a game-tying hit in the 10th inning before walking it off one frame later. He's already logged 13 multi-hit games in 2025, including four three-hit performances, compared to just five hitless games. The infield prospect is batting .341 with an .816 OPS, three home runs, 20 RBI, 19 runs scored, one stolen base and six doubles through 34 contests.

Witt went 2-for-3 with a double, two steals, a walk, one RBI and a run scored in Monday's 3-0 win against the White Sox.

The Kansas City superstar swiped second base twice off starter Shane Smith in this game to push his steal total to 11. Witt also roped his MLB-leading 14th double in the fifth inning. The 24-year-old shortstop is well on his way to another stellar season, as he's now slashing .314/.389/.504 with four homers, 22 runs scored and 18 RBI across 157 plate appearances.

Volpe (shoulder) will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Padres.

Though rain in the New York forecast Monday night could result in the series opener being postponed, the Yankees are comfortable enough with Volpe's health to have him play if the game goes on as planned. Volpe felt a pop in his left shoulder Saturday and sat out Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Rays as a result, but he avoided a significant injury after an MRI and X-ray cleared him of any major damage.

Sweeney went 4-for-5 with a home run, two total runs scored and six RBI in Sunday's 13-1 win over the Angels.

Sweeney tied his career high with the four hits and set a new career best for RBI in a game. It was actually the first time this season that the shortstop had multiple RBI in a contest, and just the third time that he recorded multiple hits. Sweeney is now riding a modest five-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 8-for-20 with two home runs and seven RBI.

Walls went 4-for-5 with a double and two runs scored Sunday against the Yankees.

Walls has lost playing time to Jose Caballero since April 19, but he started two of three games against the Yankees over the weekend. He combined to go 4-for-7 with an RBI and two runs scored, though he's still hitting only .192 for the season across 192 plate appearances.

Seager started at shortstop and went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over Seattle.

Seager, who served as the designated hitter Saturday when he was activated off the injured list, was back home at shortstop Sunday. The Rangers have been in an offensive funk and desperately need Seager's bat in the lineup. The shortstop ranks third on the club with a .291 batting average.

Smith went 4-for-5 with an RBI triple and two runs scored in Sunday's win over Seattle.

Smith served as the Rangers' leadoff hitter for the third straight game and set the tone for the 8-1 win. He singled in the first, third and fourth innings, and added an RBI triple in the eighth. Corey Seager (hamstring) returned to his post at shortstop, so Smith took over center field duties Sunday. Smith is slashing .311/.386/.478 with eight extra-base hits and 16 runs scored and could see regular duty in center field after the Rangers placed Leody Taveras on waivers.

The Yankees promoted Lombard from High-A Hudson Valley to Double-A Somerset on Sunday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Lombard earned the bump up to Double-A after slashing .329/.495/.488 with one home run, 11 stolen bases and a 21.9 percent walk rate over 111 plate appearances for Hudson Valley. The 19-year-old shortstop is considered to be among the top prospects in the Yankees organization, with his advanced plate approach being his most appealing trait.

Anderson will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Anderson thus far seems to be the primary beneficiary of Mike Trout's (knee) recent move to the injured list. With Trout on the shelf, Kyren Paris has now made three consecutive starts in the outfield, opening up the keystone for Anderson in all three of those contests. The two-time All-Star is still slashing a woeful .179/.220/.196 over 60 plate appearances with the Angels on the season, so despite the recent uptick in playing time, Anderson likely won't warrant much attention outside of AL-only leagues.

Rocchio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

After he was held out of the lineup Tuesday and Wednesday, Rocchio drew starts at shortstop in each of the ensuing three contests, but he went 0-for-8 with four strikeouts in those games to bring his average down to .185 on the season. Now back on the bench Sunday, Rocchio looks like he may have to settle for a part-time role in the middle infield, as the Guardians have been prioritizing Gabriel Arias and Daniel Schneemann ahead of him.
