  • Bo Bichette SS | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Another multi-hit game

    Bichette went 2-for-6 with two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 14-0 win over the Padres.

    It was another multi-hit game by Bichette, who now has 19 such occurrences in 2025. Over his last 20 outings (85 at-bats), the 27-year-old shortstop is batting a strong .294 with four homers, seven doubles, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases. Bichette ranks sixth in the American League with 59 hits on the season.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Sitting down Wednesday

    Wilson (forearm) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Wilson was pulled from Tuesday's contest after taking a pitch off his left forearm, and he'll get another day off to recover Wednesday. Max Schuemann will get the nod at shortstop instead and bat ninth.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Recovery coming along

    Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta said Wednesday that Correa's concussion symptoms are improving, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Both Correa and Byron Buxton landed on the 7-day concussion injured list after the two were involved in an on-field collision May 15. Correa is farther along of the two in his recovery, although the Twins haven't offered up a timetable for his return. He is eligible for activation Friday.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Scratched due to groin injury

    Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Walls was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros due to groin soreness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Cash is hopeful that Walls will be available to play following a scheduled off day Thursday. Jose Caballero will take Walls' spot at shortstop Wednesday, with Curtis Mead entering the lineup at third base.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Taking seat Wednesday

    Walls is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Walls had been included in the initial lineup the Rays released, but he'll end up sitting. Jose Caballero will get the nod at shortstop in place of Walls, who had started in each of the Rays' previous four games while going 1-for-13 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Leaves with bruised forearm

    Wilson was removed from Tuesday's game against the Angels after getting hit on the left forearm by a pitch, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Wilson remained in the game for a while after getting plunked in the third inning, but he was eventually lifted for a pinch hitter in the fifth. The A's are officially calling the infielder's injury a contusion, so it doesn't seem like he's dealing with any serious damage and could be back in the lineup within a day or two.

  • Marcelo Mayer 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Getting starts at second base

    Mayer started at the second base twice in the last three games for Triple-A Worcester.

    Mayer has moved around the infield for the WooSox but has mostly defended at shortstop -- he's made seven starts at second, four at third and 39 at short. That he's made two starts in the last three games is noteworthy, because the Red Sox recently began giving Kristian Campbell practice reps at first base. If Campbell adapts to the entirely unfamiliar position, he could serve as the team's primary fill-in for the injured Triston Casas (knee), which would open up second base, potentially for Mayer or David Hamilton.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Pilfers ninth bag

    Story went 1-for-4 with a steal and one RBI in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Mets.

    The Boston shortstop swiped second base off New York starter Kodai Senga after reaching on an infield single in the opening frame. The steal snapped an ice cold eight-game stretch without one during which Story slashed an anemic .125/.176/.219 across 34 plate appearances. Given that Story has struggled to a .129 batting average (12-for-93) over his last 23 games, the Red Sox may soon be tempted to promote Marcelo Mayer, who is slashing .264/.335/.459 in 179 plate appearances at Triple-A Worcester.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

    The Rangers designated Ornelas for assignment Monday.

    He'll give up his spot on the 40-man roster to utility man Michael Helman, whom the Rangers claimed off waivers from the Pirates. Ornelas had seen big-league action with Texas in three straight seasons but never received a look in an everyday role and instead served as a utility infielder. The 24-year-old is a capable defender at multiple infield spots, but he produced a .204/.339/.235 slash line over 121 plate appearances at Triple-A Round Rock this season and wouldn't profile as an interesting fantasy option if he were to resurface in the majors with another club.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Smashes leadoff home run

    Neto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

    Neto started the scoring Sunday, launching a home run on the third pitch of the game. It was the shortstop's seventh long ball on the season and his third in his last six appearances. During that stretch, Neto is 8-for-24 (.333) with seven RBI and seven runs scored.
