Volpe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.

The rookie shortstop got the Yankees on the board by taking Tanner Bibee deep in the sixth inning, and Volpe came home with the game's final run in the eighth after getting himself over to third base after a single. Tuesday's activity on the basepaths snapped a 10-game streak without a stolen base for the 22-year-old, but he's a perfect 10-for-10 on steal attempts to begin his MLB career, and his bat has come around too. After a shaky first couple weeks at the plate, Volpe is slashing .275/.375/.449 over his last 20 games.

Witt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.

Witt led off the bottom of the first with a no doubter to center field, but he could not generate anything else at the plate. The 23-year-old has yet to find some consistency on offense so far this season. He's now slashing .221/.264/.410 with five homers, 11 RBI, 18 runs, seven steals and a 7:28 BB:K over 129 plate appearances.

Neto went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

Neto singled home a run in the sixth to pad the Angels' lead to 5-1. The 22-year-old is beginning to settle in as the leadoff man for the Halos after starting his third consecutive game in the No. 1 spot. He has multiple hits in three of his last four games and is now slashing .263/.354/.333 with five RBI, four runs and a 1:10 BB:K over 65 plate appearances.

Franco went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base Tuesday against the Pirates.

Franco grounded into a pair of double plays but rebounded with an RBI single in the fifth inning. He proceeded to swipe second base on a double steal, during which Jose Siri also stole home. Franco now has seven stolen bases across 121 plate appearances on the season after swiping only 10 bases across 652 career plate appearances entering the campaign.

Duran went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and an additional run in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

The Rangers fell behind 4-1 but took the lead for good with a sixth-inning two-run shot from Duran. With Corey Seager on the 10-day injured list, Duran is getting an extended look at shortstop and delivering nicely with a .328/.357/.522 slash line.

Oakland placed Diaz (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Though Diaz's hamstring strain is believed to be of the Grade 1 variety, the Athletics will err on the side of caution and have the infielder take at least the next week and a half off rather than having him play through the minor injury. Nick Allen was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move and should see plenty of playing time at shortstop while Diaz remains sidelined.

Oakland recalled Allen from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Allen comes up to replace Aledmys Diaz after the latter was placed on the 10-day injured list. In 17 plate appearances with Oakland prior to being demoted to Triple-A, Allen hit just .063, but he performed well in his time with Las Vegas and should see plenty of reps at shortstop with Diaz on the shelf.

The White Sox activated Anderson (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Anderson wound up missing three weeks of action with a sprained left knee. The star shortstop was hitting .298/.327/.404 with five steals before getting hurt and will be tasked with injecting some life into a struggling White Sox club.

Bichette went 5-for-5 with a three-run home run and a steal in Monday's 6-5 loss against the Red Sox.

Bichette blasted a homer and racked up three RBI for a second straight night en route to posting his second five-hit game of the season. After a torrid start, the shortstop had cooled off a bit, but he appears to be back on track and is currently slashing .344/.379/.522 with seven home runs and 21 RBI. Bichette also recorded his first steal of the year Monday, which hasn't been a big part of his game since going 25-for-26 during his first season as a full-time starter (2021).

Neto went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a 3-0 win against the Brewers on Sunday.

Neto started at shortstop and batted out of the leadoff spot for the second straight game. He failed to get a hit after going 4-for-7 over his previous two contests, but he was able to reach on a walk and swipe a bag in the first inning. Neto has shown good acumen on the basepaths in the minors, swiping eight bags on 10 attempts over 44 contests since joining the organization out of college.
