Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Exits with trainer
Correa was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates due to a right leg injury, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Tommy Pham collided with Correa's leg while sliding into second base in the seventh inning. The latter was hesitant to put weight on his leg after the incident and needed the assistance of a trainer to walk off the field. The star shortstop will almost certainly head in for imaging to determine the severity of his injury, but he can be viewed as day-to-day until then.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Still sidelined
Wilson (hand) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.
Wilson isn't part of the starting nine for a third consecutive game after being hit by a pitch in the left hand Tuesday. The shortstop should still be considered day-to-day. In his place, Max Muncy will bat seventh and play shortstop.

Jeremy Pena SS | HOU
Astros' Jeremy Pena: Begins baseball activities
Pena (ribs) is ramping up work in the weight room and is participating in portions of baseball activities, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
It's unclear what baseball activities Pena has been cleared to partake in, but he's yet to resume full baseball activities. Still, it's an encouraging sign for Pena, as he pushes to make a return shortly after the All-Star break. In the meantime, Mauricio Dubon and Zack Short should handle most of the work at shortstop.

Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Taking seat Friday
Kim is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Kim started the previous three games and will head to the bench Friday after going 4-for-12 with a double, a homer and three RBI. Taylor Walls will step in at shortstop for Tampa Bay.

Brice Matthews SS | HOU
Astros' Brice Matthews: Officially called up
The Astros selected Matthews' contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.
As expected, the 23-year-old will join Houston for the start of a three-game homestand against Texas and is poised to make his MLB debut. Matthews has posted 10 home runs and 25 stolen bases, along with an .876 OPS for Sugar Land this season. He could take over as the starter at second base while Jose Altuve reinforces the Astros' injury-plagued outfield, which just lost Jake Meyers (calf).

Colson Montgomery SS | CHW
White Sox's Colson Montgomery: On bench to open twin bill
Montgomery isn't part of the starting nine for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against Cleveland.
With southpaw Logan Allen on the mound for the Guardians, Montgomery will take a seat for Friday's matinee. Chase Meidroth will fill in at shortstop while Lenyn Sosa plays the keystone.

Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL
Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Slugs first homer
Kim went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Red Sox.
Kim opened the scoring for the Rays by blasting his first home run of the season in the fourth inning. He's settled into an everyday role since returning from both shoulder and calf injuries, starting three straight games while hitting fifth or sixth in the lineup. It's a very small sample, but Kim has gone 5-for-15 with two extra-base hits and a stolen base to start his tenure with Tampa Bay.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: On-base streak reaches 15 games
Seager went 2-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 11-4 win over the Angels.
Seager posted multiple hits for a fourth straight game and extended his on-base streak to 15 contests. The shortstop has been on a heater, slashing .364/.500/.764 with six home runs, four doubles, 13 walks, 14 RBI and 17 runs during the streak. His revival coincides with a team-wide offensive renaissance. The Rangers are second in MLB with 63 runs scored during the month of July (nine games).

Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Takes at-bats Thursday
Arias (ankle) took at-bats during a live batting practice session Thursday, MLB.com reports.
Arias was part of a BP session that featured injured starter Shane Bieber (elbow). It's an encouraging sign that Arias has returned to baseball activities after being carted off the field June 29, but as yet a return timeline for the infielder isn't clear.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Doubles twice in loss
Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 4-3 loss to San Diego.
The two doubles increased Perdomo's total to 20, the third consecutive season he's delivered at least 20 two-baggers. He's overcome a shaky beginning to June and hit safely in 16 of the last 21 contests, posting a slash line of .301/.414/.458 during that span. Other than that stretch in June, Perdomo has been remarkably consistent in 2025 and overall sports a .980 OPS with runners in scoring position, which has fueled a career-high 65 RBI through the first 93 games.
