  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Back in lineup Saturday

    Neto (elbow) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Saturday's game against the Guardians.

    Neto hurt his right elbow on a throw in Wednesday's game against the Astros, forcing his removal from that contest. He sat out Friday's game after the Angels' off day Thursday but is back in there for Saturday's tilt.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Lifts homer in win

    Witt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-1 win over the Rays.

    The long ball was his third during his current seven-game hitting streak. In that span, Witt is 11-for-29 (.379) with eight extra-base hits and 11 RBI. The shortstop is having another excellent year, slashing .305/.361/.557 with eight homers, 16 steals, 34 RBI and 47 runs scored over 52 contests.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Swipes two bases Friday

    Moore went 0-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in a loss to the Nationals on Friday.

    It's been quite the productive week for Moore, who also homered twice Tuesday against the Yankees in what was his second consecutive multi-hit effort. The 31-year-old has now reached safely in nine consecutive games, a stretch during which he's accumulated seven extra-base hits (four doubles, three home runs), eight walks and six runs on his way to a .346 average and 1.360 OPS (35 plate appearances). The combination of his defensive versatility, pop and plate discipline has earned Moore a regular role between the infield and left field.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Provides only offense in loss

    Crawford went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Nationals on Friday.

    Crawford led off the contest with a 399-foot shot to center field, and that would ironically be the only run-producing offense of the night for Seattle. The veteran shortstop has now hit safely in all four starts he's drawn since coming off the injured list, but his homer was his first since April 8.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Resurgence continues

    Hamilton started at shortstop and went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Brewers.

    Hamilton started for the seventh time in the last eight games and is batting .375 with a 1.108 OPS during that stretch. With Hamilton producing at the plate and improving defensively, manager Alex Cora can deploy him at shortstop while moving Ceddanne Rafaela back to center field. Add in Jarren Duran and the Red Sox have some speedsters that can put pressure on the opposition. After a shaky start, Hamilton is up to .261/.320/.435 with five steals.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Homers in loss

    Seager went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to Minnesota.

    Seager returned to the lineup Friday after a day off, and his bat remained hot. He homered for a fourth straight game, connecting in his first at-bat to give the Rangers an early 2-0 lead. He's hit safely in eight straight (.357, five homers) and has an on-base streak of 18 games (.420 OBP, seven homers).

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Drills 17th home run

    Henderson went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Friday's win over the White Sox.

    Henderson hammered a two-run shot during Baltimore's three-run fifth inning. The star infielder moved back into a tie with Houston's Kyle Tucker for the MLB home run lead. Henderson is slashing .272/.362/.607 with 26 extra-base hits and 37 RBI through 49 games. Surprisingly, he's hitting just .243 (18-for-74) this month.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: No structural damage in elbow

    Neto said Friday that MRI results on his right elbow showed inflammation, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Registerreports.

    Neto had to exit Wednesday's game against Houston after feeling soreness in his elbow after a throw to first base, though it appears he managed to avoid a significant injury. He will attempt to test his elbow by throwing before Friday's game versus Cleveland, though he has already been left out of the Halos' starting lineup. Kyren Paris will get the nod at shortstop instead while batting ninth.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Getting break Friday

    Baez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

    The 31-year-old will cede shortstop duties to Zach McKinstry. Baez has started nine of the last 10 games for the Tigers, batting 11-for-34 with nine RBI in that stretch.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Reaches double-digit steals

    Volpe went 2-for-5 with a double, a run and a stolen base against the Mariners in Thursday's 5-0 victory.

    Volpe led off the seventh inning with a double, stole third base and subsequently scored on a Juan Soto single. It was the 10th theft in 12 tries for Volpe, who has now reached double-digit steals in each of his first two MLB campaigns. The shortstop is on pace to exceed last year's numbers in most categories except power -- he has six homers through 51 contests after going deep 21 times in 159 games last season -- and his .278/.349/.429 slash line highlights his substantial growth at the plate.
