  • Vaughn Grissom SS | LAA

    Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: On track for season debut Friday

    Grissom (hamstring/illness) is feeling much better and will travel with the Red Sox to Minnesota for their weekend series against the Twins, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Grissom has had his season debut delayed after he came down with an illness earlier this week. However, it sounds like he's feeling back or close to 100 percent and is in line to make his Red Sox and season debut Friday. Grissom -- who was acquired from Atlanta over the offseason in the Chris Sale trade -- is set to take over as Boston's primary second baseman.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Three hits, steal in win

    Castro went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the White Sox.

    Castro wound up a homer shy of a cycle Wednesday while recording his fifth multi-hit game during his current eight-game hitting streak. He's gone 16-for-35 (.457) over the course of the streak, boosting his slash line to .270/.339/.450 through 30 games this year. The 27-year-old Castro added two homers, 13 runs scored, 12 RBI and three stolen bases while serving as the Twins' primary third baseman in the absence of Royce Lewis (quadriceps).

  • Jacob Amaya SS | CHW

    Astros' Jacob Amaya: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Astros recalled Amaya from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    With Chas McCormick (hamstring) headed for the 10-day IL, Amaya will come up from the minors to give the Astros an additional bench bat. However, the 25-year-old infielder is slashing just .190/.297/.302 across 74 plate appearances at Triple-A, so he likely won't see much playing time while with Houston.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: On track to begin rehab assignment

    Gonzalez (wrist) is likely to begin a rehab assignment Thursday or Friday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Gonzalez's recovery from a left wrist sprain has come along more slowly than expected, but he looks to be closing in on the final step of his recovery program. He's been out since mid-April and shouldn't need too many at-bats in the minors before being activated, assuming all goes well.

  • Vaughn Grissom SS | LAA

    Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Aiming to be available Friday

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that he's hopeful that Grissom (hamstring/illness) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list for Friday's game in Minnesota, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Grissom had been slated for his season and Red Sox debut Tuesday after overcoming a hamstring injury, but he's been delayed due to an illness. Once activated, Grissom is likely to serve as the Red Sox's everyday second baseman.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Belts second homer

    Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday in a loss to the Phillies.

    Neto plated the Angels' first run with a 408-foot blast in the third inning. It was his second long ball over his past six games after he failed to go deep in any of his first 23 contests of the campaign. Neto has gotten off to a slow start to 2024, slashing .228/.278/.356 with eight runs, 11 RBI and four steals through 108 plate appearances. His strikeout rate sits at 30.6 percent, a significant increase over his 23.4 percent rate as a rookie last year.

  • Vaughn Grissom SS | LAA

    Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Dealing with illness

    Grissom (hamstring/illness) won't be activated from the injured list Tuesday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Grissom was expected to make his MLB debut Tuesday after battling a right hamstring injury throughout the early portion of the season. However, it's an illness keeping him from being activated from the 10-day IL, meaning that the second baseman should be considered essentially day-to-day moving forward.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Sitting Game 1

    Baez is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    The veteran shortstop sat for Sunday's series finale versus Kansas City and finds himself on the bench for Tuesday's matinee. Zach McKinstry is starting at shortstop, and Baez will likely rejoin the lineup for Game 2.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Logs steal in loss

    Witt went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Witt has picked up his pace on the basepaths with five steals over his last seven games. In that span, he's gone 9-for-27 (.333) with eight RBI. The shortstop is up to nine steals on 12 attempts on the year. He's added a .306/.351/.537 slash line with four home runs, 16 RBI, 24 runs scored, eight doubles and four triples over 30 contests.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Swats homer No. 10

    Henderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 2-0 win over the Yankees.

    The 22-year-old shortstop gave Grayson Rodriguez and the Orioles bullpen all the offense they would need when he took Clarke Schmidt deep in the first inning. Henderson has gone yard four times in the last six games, giving him 10 homers on the season -- tied with Mike Trout for the MLB lead. Henderson sports a .289/.352/.632 slash line with six steals, 23 RBI and 25 runs through 28 contests.
