David Hamilton SS | MIL
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Summoned from Triple-A
Boston recalled Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Pablo Reyes started at shortstop Saturday and will probably get the first crack at filling in for Trevor Story (shoulder). Hamilton should also be in the mix, though, and is the more interesting of the two players for fantasy purposes after stealing 57 bases at Worcester and another two with the big club in 2023. He was 3-for-18 with two home runs in his first five games with Worcester this season.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: To IL with dislocated shoulder
Story was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Red Sox on Saturday with a dislocated left shoulder, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
Story suffered the injury during Friday's game against the Angels when he landed awkwardly after attempting a diving stop on a grounder. He will undergo a more extensive exam Monday in Boston, during which he'll be checked for potential labrum damage. A determination could be made then if he needs surgery or will attempt the rest and rehab route. Pablo Reyes is starting at shortstop Saturday and David Hamilton -- who replaced Story on the active roster -- could also see some action at short.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Awaiting MRI results
The Red Sox are still awaiting the results of the MRI on Story's left shoulder, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
Story is not in the lineup Saturday after exiting Friday's game with what looked like a potentially serious shoulder injury. Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Story was "pretty sore throughout the night, during the day," but the club is waiting for MRI results before making a roster move. Pablo Reyes is starting at shortstop Saturday and David Hamilton has been added to the taxi squad.

Jacob Amaya SS | ARI
Astros' Jacob Amaya: Acquired by Houston
The Astros acquired Amaya from the Marlins on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations and Valente Bellozo, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Amaya was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land.
Amaya, 25, is a glove-first shortstop who has mostly just kept his head above water in the minors with his bat, although he has displayed decent on-base skills. He should get regular reps at shortstop with Sugar Land and offers solid depth at the position in the event something happens to Jeremy Pena.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Not playing Saturday
Story (shoulder) isn't in Boston's lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.
Story's absence Saturday isn't too surprising considering how much pain he was in as he walked off the field Friday. The Red Sox have yet to provide any details on his shoulder since then, but more information regarding the nature of his injury and a potential return timeline will likely come out in the near future.

Jose Caballero 2B | NYY
Rays' Jose Caballero: Idle Saturday
Caballero isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game versus Colorado, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Caballero has registered a base hit in six of the seven games he's played in this year, and he'll now catch a day off. Amed Rosario will get a chance to start at shortstop Saturday while batting seventh.

David Hamilton SS | MIL
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Set to travel with Red Sox
Hamilton is expected to join the Red Sox after Trevor Story injured his left shoulder Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Story left Friday's game in the top of the fourth inning after landing on his left shoulder awkwardly while attempting a diving grab. Hamilton started the season with Triple-A Worcester and has gone 3-for-18 with two home runs and two RBI. If Story is placed on injured list, Hamilton would provide depth at shortstop behind Pablo Reyes.

Ernie Clement SS | TOR
Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Clubs first homer of season
Clement went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Yankees.
Entering the game as a pinch hitter for Cavan Biggio in the top of the seventh inning, Clement broke open a 0-0 tie by driving a Caleb Ferguson fastball over the fence in left field. It was the 28-year-old infielder's first long ball and first RBI of the season, but he's had a solid start to the campaign, going 5-for-17 (.294) with three runs scored and only one strikeout. Clement's hit tool, defensive versatility and developing power -- he slugged 11 homers with a .196 ISO in 320 plate appearances for Triple-A Buffalo last year -- could allow him to carve out a much larger role than expected on a Toronto roster that lacks full-time starters at second base and third base.

Darell Hernaiz SS | ATH
Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Retreats to bench Saturday
Hernaiz will not be in the starting lineup Saturday against the Tigers.
Hernaiz has yet to record a hit this season, going 0-for-9 with four strikeouts. His start against lefty Tarik Skubal on Friday was just his second start in the A's last six games.

Pablo Reyes RF | SD
Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Replacement at short
Reyes entered Friday's game in the fourth inning after Trevor Story left with a shoulder injury, finishing 0-for-2 with a walk.
Story's injury appears to be a significant one, and an MRI on Saturday should confirm the severity. It's unclear if Reyes, a journeyman infielder with his fourth team in six years, will be the solution at short if Story lands on the injured list. The Red Sox have options, including moving Ceddanne Rafaela from center to short, where he has 71 starts while in the minors. Vaughn Grissom (groin), who is on the injured list, has played shortstop in the the past. David Hamilton, who made his major-league debut in 2023, could be an option.
