  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Taking seat Saturday

    McKinstry isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game versus Cincinnati.

    McKinstry has failed to record a base hit in 14 at-bats over his last five contests, and he'll now sit down for the second game in a row Saturday. Ryan Kreidler will start instead at shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Swipes seventh base Friday

    Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

    The Athletics strung together three singles as part of their five hits on the night, and Schuemann was able to parlay his one knock into his seventh stolen base of the season. The rookie has reached safely in seven of his last eight games, including four straight, a stretch that's resulted in a slight boost for his .229/.321/.330 slash line across the board and includes three of his steals for the campaign.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Another big performance

    Pena went 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored Friday against the Twins.

    Pena delivered a pair of RBI singles and a sacrifice fly to account for his production. That continued a strong run, as across his last 15 games Pena has maintained a .298 batting average with two homers, 14 RBI and 11 runs scored. His .118 ISO across 86 games exactly matches his mark from 2023, though he's on pace to easily set new career highs in RBI and stolen bases while also hitting .285.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Contributes to win

    Gonzalez started at first base and went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

    Gonzalez's fifth-inning homer was all the offense Boston mustered over the first eight innings before its late-game comeback. The utility infielder has mostly worked as a pinch hitter and fill-in at all four infield positions. Gonzalez is 9-for-26 (.346) with three steals, two doubles, a home run, four RBI and three additional runs over 14 games since being activated off the injured list in mid-June.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Hit streak reaches double digits

    Seager went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 3-0 win over Tampa Bay.

    Seager lashed a two-run double in the third inning and came around to score on a Nathaniel Lowe single. The double extended Seager's hit streak to 10 games, during which he's 13-for-38 (.342) with five doubles, a home run, five RBI and five additional runs.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Notches steal in win

    Moore went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Moore has gone just 2-for-14 with two walks over his last seven games. The versatile 31-year-old continues to offer speed when in the lineup for the Mariners -- he's 14-for-16 on stolen base attempts this season, including a perfect 6-for-6 since the start of June. Getting on base is another story, as he's hitting just .207 with a .315 on-base percentage, eight home runs, 26 RBI, 31 runs scored, 14 doubles and three triples across 72 contests.

  • Bo Bichette SS | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Back in action Friday

    Bichette (forearm) will start at shortstop and bat second Friday against the Mariners.

    Bichette was hit by a pitch during Wednesday's contest and had to sit out Thursday's game as a result, but he seems to be feeling well enough to play Friday. The 26-year-old has been having a down season at the plate, posting a career-worst .613 OPS in 308 plate appearances.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Not in Friday's lineup

    McKinstry isn't in the Tigers' lineup Friday versus the Reds.

    McKinstry has gone 0-for-14 over his last five games, so he'll get a chance to regroup Friday while Ryan Kreidler starts at shortstop and bats ninth.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Idle Friday

    Rocchio is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

    Rocchio will get a breather Friday after making four consecutive starts at shortstop. In his place, Gabriel Arias will play short and bat eighth.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Not in Boston lineup

    Hamilton is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    Hamilton has now started just two of Boston's last six contests. He and Enmanuel Valdez have been sharing starts at second base against righties, but it will be Valdez at the keystone Friday versus lefty Nestor Cortes.
