  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Sitting in third straight

    Duran is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    Duran is on the bench for the third straight game and is unlikely to recapture an everyday role over the final two weeks of the season after the Rangers activated Josh Jung (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Monday. After getting off to a hot start to the season at the plate, Duran is slashing just .224/.291/.314 with a 29.5 percent strikeout rate since the All-Star break.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Pops 10th homer

    Arias went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Royals.

    Arias reached the double-digit home run milestone with a 394-foot solo shot in the fourth inning. He later added an additional RBI via a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Although the 23-year-old has cemented himself as the starting Cleveland shortstop, he has struggled at the dish this year. Arias has produced a .215/.281/.362 slash line over 117 games.

  • Pablo Reyes RF | NYM

    Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Losing work to Urias

    Reyes will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Rangers.

    The righty-hitting Reyes will stick in the lineup against a lefty (Jordan Montgomery), but he had sat out on each of the last three occasions in which the Red Sox faced off against right-handed pitching. The Red Sox have seemingly moved Reyes into a utility role while Luis Urias has been prioritized at second base of late.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Rays' Tristan Gray: Headed back to minors

    Gray was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Gray had two hits -- including his first home run -- in his major-league debut Sunday in Baltimore, but that won't prevent a return trip to Durham. He's no longer needed on the active roster with the Rays reinstating Taylor Walls (personal) from the paternity list in a corresponding move.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Ties career-high RBI tally

    Crawford went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and a walk in a loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

    Crawford's timely second-inning knock drove home Eugenio Suarez with the only run of the afternoon for the Mariners to give the former his 54th RBI of the campaign, tying a career high. Crawford's productive day at the plate overall was essentially the only bright spot for the Mariners as they wrapped up a disappointing litmus test of an interleague series against the Dodgers, and the multi-hit effort extended the veteran shortstop's on-base streak to eight games.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Getting thumb checked out

    Paris is scheduled to undergo further testing on his sore left thumb Monday, MLB.com reports.

    Paris had been slated to make a fourth consecutive start in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Tigers but was scratched shortly before opening pitch due to the injury. The Angels are viewing Paris as day-to-day for now, but the upcoming tests should determine if he's dealing with anything beyond minor soreness. If Paris can quickly move past the injury, he could end up seeing a near-everyday role for the rest of the season while bouncing between second base and center field.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Scratched with thumb issue

    Paris was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Tigers with left thumb soreness.

    Paris was poised to make his second consecutive start but was instead a late scratch due to the thumb injury. Zach Neto will join the starting nine after initially being slated for a day off.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Late addition to lineup

    Neto is starting at shortstop and batting ninth Sunday against the Tigers, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    The 22-year-old was scheduled to sit Sunday but will end up starting after Kyren Paris (undisclosed) was scratched from the lineup. Neto is 1-for-20 with three walks, a run and eight strikeouts in five games since he returned from the injured list.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Not starting Sunday

    Neto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Neto is 1-for-20 with three walks, a run and eight strikeouts since being activated from the injured list last weekend, so he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. David Fletcher will work at shortstop and bat second.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Keeps running Saturday

    Witt went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Astros.

    Witt's posted five multi-hit efforts over his last six games, and he's running at just about every chance he gets. He's logged eight steals to go with five RBI and seven runs scored in that span. The shortstop is up to 47 thefts with a .280/.322/.501 slash line, 29 home runs, 90 RBI and 86 runs scored through 145 contests, and he's within striking distance of 50 steals with two weeks left in the season.
