  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Leaves with apparent injury

    Neto was removed from Wednesday's game against the Astros in the bottom of the fifth inning with an apparent injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Neto made a high throw to first base and was removed from the game shortly therafter. It's not clear what injury Neto might be dealing with, but the Angels should have an update on the shortstop's status soon. Neto went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being lifted.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: In lineup again Wednesday

    Hamilton will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Wednesday's game versus the Rays.

    Hamilton has now been in the lineup for five of the last six contests, with four of his starts coming at shortstop. With Hamilton getting the bulk of the reps at shortstop lately, Ceddane Rafaela has gone back to seeing most of his action in center field. Hamilton is 5-for-13 with one home run, two doubles, a triple and a stolen base in his last five tilts.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: On IL with knee issue

    Triple-A Las Vegas placed Wilson on the 7-day injured list May 18 with a minor knee issue, A's broadcaster Vince Cotroneo reports.

    Wilson is slashing .438/.458/.652 with three home runs, two steals and a 10.2 percent strikeout rate in 28 games across Double-A and Triple-A. His BABIP was .487 at Double-A and .409 at Triple-A, and Wilson's 16.8 percent hard-hit rate is a very poor mark for a 22-year-old in the upper levels, so while his contact skill is elite, Wilson's surface stats overstate his roto upside.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Homers again Tuesday

    Seager went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Phillies.

    Seager had a rough time against Phillies starter Ranger Suarez, going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts to start the day. However, he'd turn his night around with a solo home run off Jeff Hoffman in the eighth inning, cutting Texas' deficit to 3-2. The long ball extended Seager's hitting streak to six games -- he's gone 7-for-22 (.318) with three homers in that span. The 30-year-old shortstop is now slashing .246/.335/.383 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 20 runs scored through 200 plate appearances this season.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Slugs pair of homers

    Moore went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a solo home run and an RBI single during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Yankees.

    Moore clubbed his fifth and sixth long balls of the campaign, tagging Clarke Schmidt for a two-run shot in the third and Nick Burdi for a solo shot in the ninth. All but one of Moore's homers have come in May, a month where he's batting .293 with 12 extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Fills stat sheet in win

    Witt went 3-for-4 with two home runs, six RBI, one stolen base and three runs scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Tigers.

    Witt has six extra-base hits over his last five games, going 8-for-20 (.400) in that span. He hadn't hit a homer since May 8, but he made up for it with a three-run blast in the second inning and a solo shot in the sixth. Witt also had an RBI single and a sacrifice fly in the contest. The star shortstop is slashing .304/.362/.546 with seven homers, 31 RBI, 45 runs scored, 16 steals, 14 doubles and three triples over 50 contests, a prominent display of his versatile skill set.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Getting day off

    Baez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

    Baez will give way to Zach McKinstry at shortstop Tuesday after making eight straight starts. Baez finally found his groove at the plate during the Tigers' three-game series against the D-Backs last week, going 8-for-13 with four doubles and seven RBI.

  • Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU

    Athletics' Aledmys Diaz: Time off after back-to-back games

    Diaz (calf) appeared in back-to-back rehab games with Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday before receiving Sunday off.

    Diaz played seven innings at third base in Friday's game against El Paso before walking in his only plate appearance as the designated hitter Saturday. There's been no report of an aggravation of the injury to explain why Diaz was in the game for such a brief time Saturday, and he was then out of the lineup Sunday before the team's off day Monday. The Aviators also saw their scheduled game against Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday postponed due to rain, so Diaz will have had some extra rest if he does return to the lineup for the Aviators on Wednesday.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Missing from Tuesday's lineup

    Caballero is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Caballero will get a day off Tuesday, giving way to Amed Rosario at shortstop. Caballero owns a .257/.315/.365 slash line across 164 plate appearances.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: In-game replacement in IL return

    Crawford (oblique), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, entered Monday's win over the Yankees as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and remained in the game at shortstop, going 0-for-2.

    Crawford struck out swinging in his pinch-hit appearance and subsequently flied out to center to close out the ninth. The veteran shortstop was logging his first game action since April 23, and given his in-game appearance and ability to play defense Monday, he's a likely candidate to return to the starting nine Tuesday.
