    White Sox's Paul DeJong: Not in Sunday's lineup

    DeJong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Philadelphia.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Tallies seventh stolen base

    Caballero went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Saturday against the Yankees.

    Caballero continues to impress as the Rays' primary shortstop, as he now has at least one hit in four of his last five games while hitting .288 for the season. Though he doesn't offer much in terms of power, Caballero has been very aggressive on the basepaths with seven stolen bases on the season while being caught three times. With Taylor Walls out until at least late May, Caballero has a clear runway for consistent playing time.

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Nabs fourth steal

    Pena went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Nationals.

    The shortstop stole his second bag in as many games as he continued his recent hot streak. Pena has six multi-hit performances in the last 11 games, batting .383 (18-for-47) over that stretch, and the surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .356/.385/.483 with two homers, four steals, 10 RBI and 11 runs.

    White Sox's Paul DeJong: Leaves game following HBP

    DeJong was lifted from Saturday's game against the Phillies after being hit on the left arm by a pitch, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    DeJong initially stayed in the game after being struck by a Zack Wheeler offering in the top of the fifth inning, but he was eventually removed prior to the bottom of the sixth. He is likely being sent for tests, with more information on his condition possibly available after the contest.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Set to begin baseball activities

    Correa (right intercostal strain) is scheduled to begin baseball activities next week, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "His symptoms are improving dramatically from where we were," said Twins head trainer Nick Paparesta.

    Correa was placed on the injured list April 13 with the intercostal strain and it was described as mild. There isn't a timetable for his return, but it's a good sign he's making progress. With Correa out, Willi Castro has been the primary shortstop for the Twins.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Not starting against lefty

    Holliday isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    With left-hander Cole Ragans set to start on the hill for Kansas City, Holliday will start Saturday's game on the bench. Jordan Westburg will move over to cover second base, allowing Ramon Urias to pick up a start at third while batting seventh.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Takes seat Saturday

    Neto isn't in the Angels' lineup for Saturday's game against Cincinnati, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Neto went hitless in three at-bats and struck out twice during a loss in the series opener Friday, bringing him down to a .495 OPS through 72 plate appearances. He'll give way to Luis Rengifo, who will bat seventh Saturday.

  • Bo Bichette SS | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Pilfers third bag in Friday's win

    Bichette went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Padres.

    Moved up to the leadoff spot with George Springer getting a breather, Bichette did his job setting the table. After a slow start to the season, the shortstop has hit safely in 11 of the last 12 games, slashing .304/.377/.457 over that stretch with a homer, five RBI, seven runs and all three of his steals on the season.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Another multi-hit effort

    Pena went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Nationals.

    Pena delivered an RBI double in the second inning and scored in the same frame. He also chipped in his third stolen base of the season after singling in the fifth frame. Pena has at least one hit in 11 of his last 12 games, and he's gone 18-for-51 (.353) with three RBI and seven runs scored.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Out of lineup Friday

    Baez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
