  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Added to roster ahead of MLB debut

    The Orioles selected Holliday's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

    Holliday is set to make his much-anticipated major-league debut Wednesday in Boston. The top prospect had been firing on all cylinders early on at Norfolk, batting .333/.482/.595 with two homers, nine RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base in 10 games. Holliday will take over as the Orioles' everyday second baseman, which should mean more starts at third base for Jordan Westburg, who has been bouncing back and forth between second and third.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Collects three hits, steals base

    Caballero went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, two runs batted in and a stolen base Tuesday against the Angels.

    Caballero's impressive start at the plate continued Tuesday, as he tallied his third-career three-hit game. The shortstop has now reached safely in all 10 games in which he's appeared this season and boasts a .353/.378/.441 slash line with six runs scored, five RBI and five stolen bases.

  • Bo Bichette SS | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Launches first homer

    Bichette went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

    The shortstop finally connected for his first long ball of the season, driving a George Kirby slider into the second deck in left field at the Rogers Centre in the third inning. Bichette was just 3-for-25 to begin the season, but he has an extra-base hit in four straight games, going 5-for-14 with three doubles plus Tuesday's homer, as well as a 3:4 BB:K.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Seager is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the A's.

    Seager started the past seven games and will take a seat after posting an .889 OPS during that stretch. It's likely just a maintenance day for the veteran shortstop since he was sidelined for most of spring training while recovering from offseason hernia surgery. Josh Smith will man shortstop in his place Tuesday.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Sitting out Tuesday

    Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the White Sox.

    It's a routine day off for Rocchio, who has now started nine of 11 contests at shortstop for the Guardians this season. Gabriel Arias will get the call at short Tuesday.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Needs season-ending surgery

    Story will undergo season-ending surgery Friday to repair a fractured glenoid in his left shoulder, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Story suffered that injury as well as a subluxation when he landed awkwardly after attempting a diving stop on a grounder during a game Friday. The recovery timetable for the surgery is six months, which will end Story's 2024 season but should give him a shot to be ready at the start of the 2025 campaign. Story will have played just 145 of a possible 486 games (31 percent) in three seasons with the Red Sox after signing a six-year, $140 million contract. Boston is expected to use a platoon of David Hamilton and Romy Gonzalez at shortstop for the time being.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Working in platoon at shortstop

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Hamilton and Romy Gonzalez will form a platoon at shortstop while Trevor Story (shoulder) is sidelined, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    The left-handed hitting Hamilton should fill the strong side of the platoon, with Ceddanne Rafaela also expected to see some time in the middle infield. It will be the first extended run of playing time in the big leagues for Hamilton, who shined Sunday in his season debut by going 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk.

  • Eddys Leonard SS | MIL

    Tigers' Eddys Leonard: Nursing oblique strain

    Leonard is recovering from a left oblique strain, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Leonard suffered the injury while playing for Triple-A Toledo and is now headed to extended spring training to rehab. It's not clear at this point how much time he might miss.

  • Vaughn Grissom SS | LAA

    Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Will see some action at shortstop

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Grissom (groin/hamstring) will primarily play second base on his rehab assignment but will also see some action at shortstop, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Shortstop is Grissom's natural position, although the reviews of his defense there are not good. It doesn't sound like the Red Sox plan to use him as a regular at shortstop, but with Trevor Story (shoulder) out indefinitely, they want him prepared to handle the position on occasion. Grissom will begin a rehab assignment this coming weekend, per Julian McWilliams and Alex Speier of The Boston Globe.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Could require shoulder surgery

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that there is concern about the bone structure in Story's left shoulder and surgery might be required, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Story is dealing with a subluxation and the worry after an exam in Boston with team doctors is that he might have additional damage. He will receive a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Friday, after which more will be known about his long-term prognosis. Story has not yet been ruled out for the season, but if surgery is needed, it's expected to be a season-ending procedure.
