  • Max Schuemann 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: On bench for nightcap

    Schuemann is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with Minnesota, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Schuemann will head to the bench after he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Sunday's 6-2 loss in the matinee. Aledmys Diaz will take over at shortstop and bat eighth in the nightcap.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Drawing fourth straight start

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

    Moore will pick up his fourth consecutive start in the infield since making his return from the paternity list Thursday. He'll likely serve as the Mariners' primary option at the keystone before moving into a utility role once Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is ready to come off the 10-day injured list.

  • Ryan Bliss SS | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Losing out to Dylan Moore

    Bliss is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    After a recent stretch of nine consecutive starts at second base, Bliss appears to have lost hold of an everyday role following Dylan Moore's recent return from the paternity list. Moore will make his second straight start at the keystone, but both he and Bliss will see their opportunities trend down once Jorge Polanco (hamstring) returns from the injured list.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Scratched with tight calf

    Caballero was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta with left calf tightness, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Amed Rosario was a late addition to the lineup as a replacement for Caballero and will hit ninth and start at shortstop. Caballero has served as the Rays' primary shortstop for most of the season, but he had moved into more of a utility infield role of late following Taylor Walls' return from the injured list June 7.

  • Paul DeJong SS | NYY

    White Sox's Paul DeJong: Homer, two hits in win

    DeJong went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Diamondbacks.

    DeJong put the White Sox ahead with a leadoff home run in the top of the fourth and added a single in the following frame, giving him his second straight multi-hit game. The shortstop is now up to 14 home runs on the campaign, with six of them coming this month and four coming over his last eight games. DeJong has also recorded multiple hits in six of his last nine contests.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Returning to lineup

    Caballero (illness) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    After leaving Friday's game due to illness and sitting Saturday, Caballero will return to face rookie right-hander Hurston Waldrep. Taylor Walls has eaten into Caballero's time at shortstop since returning from the injured list, but Caballero is still seeing fairly regular time around the infield for Tampa Bay.

  • Bo Bichette SS | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Remains out of lineup Sunday

    Bichette (calf) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    He was able to play through it for a few days, but this is now a second straight absence for Bichette due to right calf soreness. It's uncertain whether he's available off the bench. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will draw a start at shortstop with Ernie Clement at third base.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Another multi-hit performance

    Witt went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Dodgers.

    Witt went hitless in his first three at-bats before driving home Garrett Hampson with a single in the seventh. The star shortstop would then go on to swipe his 20th bag of the season while also recording another single in the ninth, giving him his fourth multi-hit performance in his last five contests. Witt is now batting .375 in June with two homers, nine RBI, four stolen bases and eight runs scored. He also leads the majors with 59 runs scored.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Sitting versus southpaw

    Hamilton is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Hamilton will get a breather as Boston squares off against southpaw Carlos Rodon. The 26-year-old Hamilton saw his five-game hit streak come to an end Friday, but he's still batting .308 with two home runs, five RBI, six runs scored and five stolen bases over his last nine games. Ceddanne Rafaela will draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth against New York.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Absent from lineup

    Caballero (illness) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Atlanta.

    Caballero was removed from Friday's series opener due to an illness and he'll remain on the bench to start Saturday's contest. Brandon Lowe will draw the start at second base and bat second against Atlanta.
