Duran started at third base and went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Orioles.

Duran made a second straight start at third base, where there could be additional opportunities for him in the near term in the wake of the Rangers optioning Josh Jung to the minors. Duran and Josh Smith are expected to fill the void while Jung works on his swing at Triple-A Round Rock.

Witt went 2-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base during Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.

Witt reached safely in all four of his plate appearances, drawing two free passes and logging two singles. He supplied the Royals' only runs in the loss and swiped a bag for a second straight night. The superstar shortstop is riding a six-game hit streak, going 11-for-25 (.440) with three doubles, eight runs scored and five RBI during that stretch.

Kiner-Falefa went 1-for-3 with a two-run single in Wednesday's 5-0 win over St. Louis.

Kiner-Falefa doubled the Pirates' lead in the seventh inning with a two-run single that brought Ke'Bryan Hayes and Tommy Pham home. Kiner-Falefa has recorded at least one hit in seven of his last eight games and has gone 8-for-27 (.296) with one steal and five RBI over that span.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-0 victory over the Orioles.

That's now four homers in Seager's last six games, and he's up to 11 big flies in 55 games this year. The star shortstop was stuck in a dismal 2-for-32 skid at the plate between June 1 and June 13, but he's rediscovered his form following that dry spell. Over his last 76 plate appearances, Seager is slashing .279/.408/.590 with five long balls, four doubles and 11 RBI.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and three total RBI in a 7-3 win over the Brewers in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Lindor extended New York's lead to 5-0 in the second inning with a solo shot off Jacob Misiorowski, his 17th homer this year and first of three hits in the nightcap. It was a much-needed performance from Lindor, who'd gone just 2-for-29 in his previous seven contests. The 31-year-old shortstop, who was announced as an All-Star prior to the game, is now slashing .261/.330/.457 with 46 RBI, 52 runs scored and 13 stolen bases through 385 plate appearances this season.

Kiner-Falefa went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Cardinals.

Kiner-Falefa came through in a big spot, lining a two-run single in the seventh inning to extend the lead. The hit was his sixth in the past five games, and he continued a productive stretch in which the 30-year-old has gone 8-for-27 (.292) with a triple and five RBI over his last eight contests.

Bichette (knee) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, but Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that the shortstop is "feeling better than he did" Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. "Hes going through a little bit more of a regular day, and the hope would be that he'd be available [off the bench] if we need him," Schneider said.

Bichette will miss out on a third consecutive start while he continues to tend to a sore right knee, but the 27-year-old appears to be trending in a positive direction and still looks on track to avoid a stint on the injured list. Ernie Clement will step in at shortstop Wednesday, but if Bichette checks out fine after his pregame workout, he could be available as a pinch hitter off the bench.

The Tigers recalled Sweeney from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

Though Sweeney will start at shortstop and bat ninth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader, he's expected to operate primarily in a reserve role during his upcoming stint with the big club. Sweeney opened the season as the Tigers' everyday shortstop but began to see his playing time dwindle in early June, when Javier Baez wasn't needed as often in the outfield and began seeing more opportunities at Sweeney's expense. Before being demoted to Triple-A last Friday, Sweeney slashed just .221/.280/.314 with four home runs and two stolen bases over 225 plate appearances on the season.

Wilson (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Wilson was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 4-3 win due to a right hamstring issue and will be out of commission again for Wednesday's matinee. The Athletics are off Thursday, so Wilson will aim to return to action Friday versus the Giants for the start of a homestand.

Rocchio started at shortstop and went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Cubs.

Rocchio got the start against a left-hander but was removed for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning when a righty reliever entered. He was summoned from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday after the Guardians placed Gabriel Arias (ankle) on the 10-day injured list. Rocchio opened 2025 as the starting shortstop but was sent to the minors May 7 with a .165/.235/.198 line over 35 games. He'll get a chance at redemption for as long as Arias is out, but Rocchio may share shortstop with Daniel Schneemann. The position should be up for grabs, as Cleveland shortstops rank last in average (.183) and OPS (.515).
