Winn went 1-for-2 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. He was also hit by a pitch.

Winn had a productive sixth inning, driving in a run on a groundout before swiping second base. The shortstop has opened the second half with a bang, reaching base five times and driving in four runs in two games since returning from the All-Star break. For the year, he's slashing .246/.321/.333 with four homers, 42 RBI, 39 runs scored and eight steals across 365 plate appearances.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Mets.

Turner sparked the Phillies' offense, reaching four times and tallying a homer and a steal in the same game for the third time this season. The shortstop has gone deep in consecutive contests since returning from the All-Star break after a disappointing first half. For the year, he's slashing .241/.290/.373 with 12 home runs, 35 RBI, 66 runs scored and 17 stolen bases across 424 plate appearances.

Triolo isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Triolo has made six straight starts at shortstop and closed out the first half with a three-hit performance against Milwaukee, but the Pirates will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's twin bill. Jacob Gonzalez will get the nod at shortstop and bat eighth.

De La Cruz went 4-for-5 with a home run and an additional run scored in Friday's win over the Rockies.

De La Cruz launched his 16th homer of the season in the ninth inning off Jeff Criswell, extending his hitting streak to four games. The star shortstop remains a dynamic fantasy performer, and he's hit safely in 12 of his last 15 games. Over that stretch, De La Cruz is slashing .339/.414/.597 with four homers, seven RBI, 11 runs scored and four stolen bases across 70 plate appearances.

Adames went 1-for-5 with a grand slam and two strikeouts in Friday's victory over Seattle.

The veteran shortstop came through his 16th homer of the year with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, pushing San Francisco's lead to 7-0. Adames otherwise didn't do much at the plate and is now batting .220 (9-for-41) with one double, two homers, nine RBI and six runs through 11 games in July.

Perdomo (hand) will start at shortstop and bat second Friday against the Cardinals, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Perdomo received a cortisone shot in his left hand during the All-Star break to combat hand issues that he's dealt with over the course of his career, but it won't cause him to miss any games as the D-backs begin their second-half schedule. The 26-year-old has taken a step back this season after enjoying a breakout campaign in 2025, and he's slashing just .225/.311/.325 in 10 games since the beginning of July.

Triolo is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Cleveland.

Triolo had drawn six straight starts at shortstop since Konnor Griffin (finger) was injured, but Triolo will begin the first contest of the second half on the bench. Jacob Gonzalez will handle shortstop Friday in what will be his first start since being acquired via trade last week.

Sirota is sporting a .319/.475/.562 slash line with 14 home runs, 11 stolen bases and a 74:79 BB:K over 77 games between High-A Great Lakes and Double-A Tulsa this season.

Sirota's 2025 campaign was interrupted by a knee injury that sidelined him for nearly three months, but he's shown no ill effects in 2026 as he continues to emerge as one of the best position player prospects in baseball. The 23-year-old has split time between center field and right field this season and could find himself at Triple-A Oklahoma City before the end of the summer.

Perdomo received a cortisone injection in his left hand during the All-Star break this week, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

The issue arose during last week's series in San Diego, manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday. "He battles hand issues throughout the course of the year, ever since we've had him," Lovullo said. "I was told it's not going to hinder him whatsoever." Perdomo posted an image on social media showing his left hand bandaged up. It's unclear if he'll be in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Cardinals.

The Mets designated Short for assignment Thursday.

Short was selected to the active roster Friday to provide some extra infield depth during the final weekend before the All-Star break, but he'll now lose his spot to make room for Marcus Semien's (hip) return from the IL. Short went 0-for-6 with a walk during his three-game stint with the Mets and is likely to spend most of the second half working as organizational depth in the minor leagues.
