  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Sitting versus southpaw

    Montgomery is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Guardians.

    The left-handed-hitting Montgomery started Wednesday against Blue Jays lefty Eric Lauer, but he'll grab a seat as the Guardians send southpaw Logan Allen to the bump. Chase Meidroth will play shortstop and Lenyn Sosa will be at second base for the White Sox.

  • Colt Emerson SS | SEA

    Mariners' Colt Emerson: Adjustments paying off

    Emerson is hitting .333 with three home runs, two steals and a 12:12 K:BB in his last 20 games for High-A Everett.

    Emerson is slashing .265/.365/.411 with seven home runs, five steals and a 17.5 percent strikeout rate in 71 games for the AquaSox, but he's been making adjustments at the plate to better incorporate his lower half to get to more power while also introducing a toe-tap. Emerson's 51.4 percent groundball rate on the year is still something to monitor, but his stock is trending back up after a lengthy stretch where he struggled to hit for power.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: On base four times in loss

    Bichette went 3-for-3 with a walk and a double in Wednesday's loss to the White Sox.

    The shortstop did everything he could to generate some offense for the Blue Jays while batting second in the order, but three double plays by the ChiSox helped erase Bichette from the basepaths in a 2-1 loss. He's hit safely in six straight games, and over his last 17 contests, Bichette is slashing .309/.347/.456 with four doubles, two homers, seven runs and eight RBI.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Sitting out first game of twin bill

    Henderson is not in the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Mets.

    The left-handed-hitting Henderson will take a seat in the first game of the twin bill as the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the bump. Luis Vazquez will play shortstop and bat seventh for the Orioles. Henderson is likely to be back in the lineup for the second game between the two teams Thursday.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Logs another multi-hit game

    Correa went 2-for-4 with a double and RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Cubs.

    That's now four multi-hit games already this month for Correa, who's batting .308 over his first 26 at-bats of July. The veteran shortstop should continue to see plenty of RBI chances as long as he's hitting in the heart of Minnesota's lineup. Over his last 39 outings, Correa is slashing a respectable .290/.335/.448 with five home runs, eight doubles, 17 RBI and 21 runs scored covering 155 plate appearances.

  • Zack Short SS | HOU

    Astros' Zack Short: Back on bench

    Short is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

    Short had started at shortstop in each of the past four games, going 4-for-13 with two doubles, one walk, three RBI and two runs. Mauricio Dubon will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday, but the Astros may have room for both players in the middle infield on a fairly consistent basis until Jeremy Pena (rib) returns from the 10-day injured list.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Sitting out Wednesday

    Wilson (hand) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    After taking a pitch off his left hand during Tuesday's win, Wilson will get an extra day off to recover from the injury. Max Muncy will fill the void at shortstop for the Athletics and bat sixth.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Continues homer binge

    Seager went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 13-1 win over the Angels.

    Seager went deep for the second consecutive game with his solo shot in the sixth inning. It was the shortstop's 13th of the season and sixth in the last 11 contests. The two-hit night extended a hit streak to 13 games, during which he's 16-for-48 (.333) with nine extra-base hits, 12 walks, 12 RBI, one steal and 15 runs scored.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Swats homer in win

    Rocchio went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 extra-inning win over the Astros.

    Rocchio connected for his first homer of the season in the fourth inning, which gave the Guardians a 6-1 lead. The shortstop didn't do much initially after being recalled July 1, but he's gone 4-for-6 with two doubles, a home run and three RBI in two games to start the series against Houston. Rocchio will continue to get the majority of the starts at shortstop while Gabriel Arias (ankle) recovers on the 10-day injured list.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: One hit in return

    Kim went 1-for-4 on Tuesday against the Tigers.

    Kim made his season debut Friday but was out for the rest of the Rays' weekend series due to a calf issue. He returned Tuesday, playing shortstop and hitting fifth. Kim's lone hit was a single to lead off the second inning, but most importantly, he came out of the game healthy.
