  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Resting up Sunday

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

    Though Correa returned from a recent two-game absence due to an illness and proceeded to go 4-for-9 with a double and three runs, manager Joe Espada indicated that the veteran infielder isn't yet 100 percent, per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. The expectation is that Correa will be back in the lineup for Monday's series finale.

  • Wenceel Perez SS | DET

    Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Hitting bench Sunday

    Perez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    After starting the past two games and going 0-for-7, Perez will hit the bench and give way in right field to Zach McKinstry. Given that McKinstry has mustered a lowly .537 OPS through 37 plate appearances, Perez should still receive plenty of playing time while Parker Meadows (arm/concussion) is out of action.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Getting first day off

    Wilson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Wilson will head to the bench for the first time in 2026 after starting the first 14 games. Darell Hernaiz will take over at shortstop and bat eighth in the series finale versus the Mets.

  • Austin Martin SS | MIN

    Twins' Austin Martin: Back on bench vs. righty

    Martin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    The right-handed hitter had been in a corner outfield spot for four of the last five games, but all of those starts came against left-handed pitching. The Twins still appear to be treating Martin mostly as a short-side platoon player, so he'll likely continue to sit against most righties while Minnesota uses Trevor Larnach, Byron Buxton and Matt Wallner as its primary outfield configuration.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: In left field Saturday

    Duran went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

    Duran, who replaced Wyatt Langford (quad) in left field Friday and started there Saturday. Langford underwent an MRI on Saturday, which indicated his quad injury is a mild strain, per Jacob Gurvis of MLB.com. He was considered to be available off the bench, which suggests Duran's stay in left field will be a short one.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Elevated strikeout rate

    Meidroth went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Saturday against the Royals.

    Meidroth began the season relatively well, hitting .270 with three doubles and five runs across 10 games. However, he's gone just 1-for-16 in his last four starts, striking out seven times in that span. Meidroth has an elevated 25.4 percent strikeout rate through 59 plate appearances this season and is hitting only .208.

  • Sam Antonacci SS | CHW

    White Sox's Sam Antonacci: Slated to be called up Tuesday

    The White Sox are expected to select Antonacci's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Elijah Evans of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Antonacci has blazed through the minors since being drafted in 2024, and in 12 games with Charlotte this season he's slashing .299/.445/.419 with two home runs, six RBI and four stolen bases. Power isn't expected to be a primary asset -- he went deep just five times over 520 plate appearances across three levels in 2025 -- but he has a potentially elite hit tool and plenty of speed, racking up 48 thefts in 58 attempts in the minors last season. He was strictly an infielder last season, but he's played mostly in left field in 2026 and could see ample time at that position with the White Sox, especially since Austin Hays (hamstring) recently landed on the injured list.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Departs with knee injury Saturday

    Pena was pulled from Saturday's contest against Seattle due to right posterior knee tightness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Pena got two plate appearances in the contest, going 1-for-3. Following his single in the fourth inning, he advanced to second on a flyout and to third on an Isaac Paredes single. Following the Paredes hit, Pena exited and was replaced by pinch runner Nick Allen, who subsequently took over at shortstop. The severity of the injury isn't clear, and Pena should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Powers offense in win

    Jackson went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Giants.

    Jackson drove in a run with a double in the fourth inning before launching his first homer of the season in the seventh. The 26-year-old has now drawn 10 starts this season and has hit safely in seven of them. Overall, he's gone 10-for-36 with six RBI and two runs scored while posting a 0:9 BB:K.

  • Angel Martinez SS | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Martinez: Stays hot in win

    Martinez went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-0 win over Atlanta.

    Martinez caught fire from the sixth inning on, finishing with two hits, two runs scored and a stolen base. The 24-year-old has been red hot, posting four straight multi-hit games and swiping a bag in three consecutive contests. On the season, he's slashing .342/.419/.500 across 44 plate appearances with one home run, six RBI, seven runs scored and four steals.
