  • Michael Arroyo SS | SEA

    Mariners' Michael Arroyo: Promoted to Double-A

    Arroyo has been promoted from High-A Everett to Double-A Arkansas, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Arroyo will be bumped up a level after slashing .269/.422/.512 with 15 home runs and three stolen bases over 65 contests with Everett, which includes a .309/.454/.599batting line since the start of May. He will play the entirety of the 2025 season at just 20 years of age, but Arroyo appears ready to be tested in the Texas League.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Returning to lineup in four spot

    Swanson is starting at shortstop and batting fourth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    After getting his first day off of the season Sunday, Swanson will return to the lineup Monday in St. Louis, and he's in a prime position to produce as the team's cleanup hitter against lefty starter Matthew Liberatore. Over the past three years, Swanson's OPS is 107 points higher when facing southpaws as opposed to righties.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Idle for series opener

    Smith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

    The left-handed-hitting Smith started against Pirates lefty Bailey Falter in Sunday's 8-3 loss, but he'll head to the bench for the series opener in Baltimore while the Orioles send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the bump. Jonah Heim will replace Smith in the lineup at designated hitter.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Getting day off Monday

    Seager is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore.

    Seager will get a rare day off while he battles through uncharacteristic struggles in June with a lowly .143/.313/.222 batting line so far this month. Ezequiel Duran will fill in at shortstop and bat eighth for the Rangers.

  • Padres' Jose Iglesias: Produces clutch RBI in win Sunday

    Iglesias went 1-for-2 with three RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win against the Royals.

    Iglesias didn't start but got an opportunity to impact the game upon entering as a pinch hitter for Jake Cronenworth in the seventh inning. Iglesias came through with a two-run single in that frame to tie the score, then notched a walk-off fielder's choice in the ninth. Iglesias endured an 0-for-17 stretch at the plate earlier this month but has one hit in each of his past three games, going 3-for-7 with four RBI during the latter span.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Homers off bench Sunday

    Neto swatted a solo homer as a pinch hitter in Sunday's loss to the Astros.

    Neto began the game on the bench, but he entered as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and went deep to left field to bring the Angels to within a run. The long ball snapped a 17-game homerless stretch for the talented young shortstop. Despite that drought, Neto has had a decent June overall, posting a .272/.322/.432 slash line with two homers, seven RBI, 15 runs and four stolen bases through 20 contests.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: On base four times Sunday

    Edwards went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

    The 25-year-old infielder continues to pile up hits in June. Edwards is slashing .357/.430/.414 through 18 contests on the month, and while a lack of power still limits his fantasy ceiling -- he has yet to hit a homer in 2025 -- he's supplied three steals, five RBI and 10 runs during that span as the Marlins' leadoff hitter.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: In lineup against lefty

    Smith started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Pirates.

    Smith usually takes a seat on the bench when the Rangers face a left-hander, as they did Sunday against Pittsburgh's Bailey Falter. Texas manager Bruce Bochy typically runs with Kyle Higashioka or Ezequiel Duran at DH against lefties. Smith has a .565 OPS against left-handers as opposed to .843 against righties.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Delivers run in win

    Arias went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Athletics.

    Arias drove in the only run the Guardians would need with a second-inning single and then scored on a Nolan Jones double. Arias' offensive contributions have been few since early May, when he took over at shortstop after Brayan Rocchio was sent down to Triple-A Columbus. Arias sports a .177/.250/.274 line with one home run and 11 RBI over the last 36 games. In the same number of games in the minors, Rocchio has performed adequately for the Clippers, posting an .852 OPS with 17 extra-base hits, 24 RBI and 24 runs. Guardians' shortstops rank last in average (.181), on-base percentage (.249) and slugging (.251).

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Goes yard again

    Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Phillies.

    Lindor homered for a second straight game, following up Saturday's solo shot with a solo homer off Max Lazar in the eighth inning Sunday. Lindor supplied two of the Mets' four hits on the day. Since the start of June, Lindor is 17-for-74 (.230) with four home runs and three stolen bases.
