  • Paul DeJong SS | NYY

    White Sox's Paul DeJong: Getting maintenance day

    DeJong is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

    He'll receive a breather for the day game after a night game, opening up a turn at shortstop for Nicky Lopez. DeJong had started each of the White Sox's previous 21 games and was one of the team's most productive hitters over that stretch, batting .235 with 11 extra-base hits (seven home runs, four doubles), 12 RBI and 10 runs.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Long starting streak comes to end

    Castro is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

    For the first time since April 15, Castro will head to the bench, ending a streak of 59 consecutive starts. Though he opened the season in a utility role, Castro has solidified an everyday role thanks to his positional versatility and solid production at the plate. Austin Martin will enter the lineup at second base in place of Castro, who has been dialed in of late with a .368/.429/.605 slash line to go with one home run, six doubles, one stolen base, nine runs and four RBI over his last nine starts.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Taking seat Thursday

    Correa is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

    After seeing his nine-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-5 performance in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss, Correa will get a breather for the series finale with Tampa Bay. Kyle Farmer will spell him at shortstop Thursday.

  • David Hamilton SS | MIL

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Two hits, steal in win

    Hamilton started at shortstop and went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and an RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Hamilton returned to the starting lineup after dealing with discomfort in his side. He started the scoring with a run-producing single in the third inning and later stole his 20th base of the season. Hamilton has been prominent in the team's recent transition to the "Running Red Sox," as the team has attempted 17 steals (twice caught) over the last four games.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Swipes two bags in win

    Henderson went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

    Henderson has gone 16-for-51 (.314) with three home runs and three steals during his 12-game hitting streak. While he's struck out 16 times over that span, he's still making enough contact to be a huge positive atop the Orioles' lineup. For the season, the star shortstop is at a .273/.371/.582 slash line with a career-best 11 steals as well as 22 homers, 49 RBI and 59 runs scored over 72 contests.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Picks up first steal

    Schneemann went 0-for-3 with a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Mariners.

    Schneemann has gained traction in the lineup as a utility player -- Wednesday marked his fifth straight start. He got the nod at shortstop over Brayan Rocchio for this contest. Schneemann has done his part to stay in the lineup by hitting .333 through his first 12 major-league games. He's added four extra-base hits, six RBI, five runs scored, and his steal Wednesday was the first of his career. He also has a 7:9 BB:K so far, with his good plate discipline being a perfect fit for a Guardians team that prioritizes getting on base.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Steals two bases in win

    Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with one RBI, one run scored and two steals in a 7-3 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

    Gonzalez reached on an error, stole second and came around to score in the third inning then added an RBI single and another steal in the sixth. After missing most of June with a hamstring injury, Gonzalez has appeared in three straight games and drew his first start of the season in center field. He has had trouble staying healthy this season and is hitting .279 with four steals over 43 at-bats.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Back on bench

    Caballero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Taylor Walls (illness) will return to the lineup at shortstop after missing the Rays' previous three games, leaving no room in the infield for Caballero. Though he's been an everyday player for most of the season and has racked up 22 stolen bases, Caballero looks like he could be limited to a part-time role now that Tampa Bay is back to full strength in the infield.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Returning to lineup

    Walls (illness) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game versus the Twins.

    Walls was unavailable for a few days due to an illness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday. He's started at shortstop in six of 11 games since returning from the injured list June 7.

  • David Hamilton SS | MIL

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Checking back into starting nine

    Hamilton (side) will start at shortstop and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Hamilton is back in the lineup after he was withheld from the starting nine Tuesday due to the left side injury he suffered in Monday's 7-3 win in the series opener. Despite opening Tuesday's 4-3 victory on the bench, Hamilton still made an impact with his legs, entering the game as a pinch runner in the eighth inning and contributing a stolen base and a run. With Hamilton checking out fine following his brief cameo Wednesday, he'll get the green light to start the series finale and will occupy a prominent spot in the batting order.
