  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Removed with hamstring injury

    Seager was removed from Wednesday's game against the Tigers due to left hamstring tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    After extending his on-base streak to 28 games with an RBI single in the second inning of Wednesday's contest, Seager was grabbing at his hamstring before being replaced on first base by Ezequiel Duran. The Rangers will likely take Seager in for imaging, and more information on his status may come following Wednesday's game. The 30-year-old infielder has slashed .300/.395/.627 with 11 home runs and 21 RBI since May 1.

  • Ryan Bliss SS | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Records steal as pinch runner

    Bliss entered Tuesday's win over the Athletics as a pinch runner in the top of the eighth inning and recorded a steal of second base. He did not log a subsequent plate appearance.

    The speedy rookie is already up to three swipes over his first six big-league games, with those numbers coming on the heels of a 28-for-34 showing in the steals department at Triple-A Tacoma. Bliss has seen only one ball drop in thus far over his 15 plate appearances, but he's maintained a presence on the basepaths and set himself up for stolen-base opportunities by also drawing four walks in that span.

  • Dylan Moore LF | PHI

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Records ninth steal Tuesday

    Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Moore didn't log one of his trademark extra-base hits, but he still found a way to make an impact by working himself into scoring position after his fourth-inning single with the help of his ninth steal. The 31-year-old remains in a multi-game funk, however, as he's just 3-for-25 over the last seven contests, a span during which he's reached via a trio of singles, one walk and three hit-by-pitches.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Goes yard twice in loss

    Witt went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Guardians.

    The 23-year-old superstar took Triston McKenzie deep in the third and fourth innings to help stake the Royals to an early 5-0 lead, but Seth Lugo and the bullpen couldn't make it hold up. Witt has hit safely in 16 of the last 17 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .378/.400/.716 with six homers, two steals, 15 runs and 23 RBI.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Moving to second base

    Castro started at second base and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Yankees.

    Castro has played several positions this season and has moved frequently during games, but he's now set to start mostly at second base due to Edouard Julien being sent to Triple-A. He'll likely soon accumulate enough games at second base (three games played at second this season) to qualify at another position in most formats. (He's already played more than 10 games at third base, shortstop and outfield.)

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Reaches base three times

    Pena went 2-for-2 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Cardinals.

    Pena entered Tuesday's game having failed to tally an extra-base hit in 10 straight starts. He ended that drought with an RBI double in the third inning and also drove in a run on a sacrifice fly one frame later. Pena is now hitting .302 with five home runs and nine stolen bases across 251 plate appearances on the campaign.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Sitting on bench Tuesday

    Baez is not in the Tigers' lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers.

    In the last 10 games, Baez is hitting just .108 (4-for-37). Amidst the slump, the shortstop will take a seat with Zach McKinstry starting in his place and batting sixth Tuesday.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Caballero is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Miami.

    Caballero started the past four games but will head to the bench Tuesday after he went 4-for-15 with a homer, two RBI, five runs and a stolen base during that stretch. Amed Rosario will take over at shortstop and bat sixth.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Sitting out Tuesday

    Rocchio is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Royals.

    Rocchio has been one of the worst-hitting regulars in baseball this season, sporting a lowly .203/.308/.259 line. He'll receive a day off while Daniel Schneemann holds down shortstop.

  • Luis Almeyda SS | BAL

    Orioles' Luis Almeyda: Playing regularly in FCL

    Almeyda (shoulder) has appeared in 19 games for the Orioles' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, slashing .167/.309/.278 with two home runs and four stolen bases across 68 plate appearances.

    The 18-year-old infielder's 2023 campaign was cut short after he required surgery on his left shoulder last August, but he was cleared for action ahead of the start of the FCL season in early May. Almeyda has shown a patient approach at the plate (16.9 percent walk rate) thus far, but he's yet to make consistent contact and hasn't hit for much power.
