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.

Wilson went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Giants.

Wilson had a two-homer game Tuesday versus the Dodgers, but he followed that up with an 0-for-14 slump over the next four games. He shook off that dry spell with a multi-hit effort Sunday, and he also picked up his third steal of the season, though the 23-year-old continues to be more a contact hitter than a speedster. He's up to a .337/.369/.478 slash line with five home runs, 26 RBI, 25 runs scored and 10 doubles across 45 contests in 2025.

Smith is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Smith started the previous four games after missing a couple contests due to a back injury, and he'll take a seat Sunday after going 3-for-16 with an RBI and a run scored during that span. Ezequiel Duran will step in at shortstop against Houston southpaw Framber Valdez.

Pena is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Pena has played every inning of all 45 games for the Astros in 2025, so he's getting a well-deserved day off after going 0-for-7 with two walks and a run in the first two games of the series at Texas. Mauricio Dubon will take over at shortstop while Isaac Paredes moves up to the leadoff spot.

Meidroth went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Cubs.

The shortstop led off the game with his first homer of the season as part of his third multi-hit performance during a five-game hit streak. Meidroth has improved his OPS from .579 to .726 during that stretch, while Saturday's pilfer was his fifth in five attempts over 23 contests this season as he looks to establish himself as a reliable leadoff presence for the White Sox.

Simpson suffered a bloody nose and lip during Saturday's game against the Marlins but is expected to play Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Simpson suffered a concerning looking injury after being tagged out at home plate in the ninth inning of Saturday's game. However, he avoided serious injury and could avoid missing any additional time.

Simpson was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays with an apparent injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Simpson looked to be in a considerable amount of pain after being tagged out at the plate in the ninth inning. After being tended to by the Rays' trainers, he was able to walk off the field under his own power. It's not immediately clear what kind of injury he's dealing with, but the team should offer more information relatively soon.

Sweeney isn't part of the lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.

Sweeney had been in the lineup for each of Detroit's last five matchups against left-handed starters, but he'll yield to Zach McKinstry at shortstop against southpaw Eric Lauer. The left-handed-hitting Sweeney is slashing .259/.323/.378 on the season.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Tigers.

The shortstop took Tommy Kahnle deep in the eighth inning to get Toronto within a run, but the home side couldn't complete the comeback. Bichette has four homers on the season, and three of them have come in the last six games, a stretch in which he's also connected for four doubles. Over his last 16 contests, Bichette is slashing .313/.378/.597 as he puts his disappointing 2024 campaign firmly behind him.

Simpson went 3-for-3 with an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Friday against the Marlins.

Simpson began his time in the majors hitting leadoff, but he has hit eighth and ninth in his last two games, coinciding with the return of Josh Lowe. Simpson had slowed down considerably at the plate but is now riding a five-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 9-for-20 with three RBI, five runs scored and one stolen base.
