  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Logs steal Monday

    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Marlins.

    Bogaerts continues to be a factor on the basepaths with four steals over his last nine games. His hitting has cooled off in that stretch -- he's gone a modest 6-for-30 (.200) with three walks and six strikeouts, and he hasn't logged an RBI or an extra-base hit since he homered May 14 versus the Angels. The slump has the shortstop down to a .232/.320/.333 slash line with three home runs, 10 steals, 20 RBI and 21 runs scored over 52 contests this season.

  • Orlando Arcia 3B | COL

    Rockies' Orlando Arcia: Headed to Colorado

    Arcia agreed to a one-year, major-league contract with the Rockies on Monday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Arcia didn't have to wait long to find work after being released by Atlanta on Sunday. Once his deal with Colorado is finalized, he'll look to join his new club on the current road trip in Chicago, per Alvarez-Montes. Though Arcia has played primarily at shortstop during his career, the Rockies have Ezequiel Tovar locked in at that position on a long-term contract, so Arcia will likely end up seeing most of his opportunities at second base. Rookie Adael Amador has been serving as the Rockies' primary option at the keystone, but he's produced a lowly .473 OPS over 98 plate appearances and could end up being supplanted by Arcia.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Taking part in baseball activities

    Edwards (back) has been participating in baseball activities, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Edwards was placed on the 10-day injured list May 18 due to a left mid-back strain and has since been given the green light to resume baseball activities. The club has yet to provide a firm timeline for the 25-year-old, and it remains to be seen whether a rehab assignment will be required before activating Edwards from the IL.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Clubs sixth homer

    Wilson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-4 win over Philadelphia.

    Wilson reached base four times during the victory and belted a solo homer to lead off the bottom of the first inning. The performance marked his second consecutive three-hit game and his fifth game in May with at least three hits. In 215 plate appearances this season, Wilson is slashing .350/.393/.495 with 12 walks and 11 strikeouts.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Plates three in loss

    Turner went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI single and a sacrifice fly during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

    Turner accounted for three of Philadelphia's four runs Sunday and logged his fifth multi-hit game in his last seven appearances. The shortstop's three RBI marked a season high. On the year, Turner is slashing .310/.365/.443 with five home runs, 14 stolen bases and 37 runs scored.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Delivering strong month of May

    Henderson went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-1 win over Boston.

    It was Henderson's first time drawing multiple walks since April 19, and he's now posted at least one hit in seven of his last nine outings. Over 89 at-bats in the month of May, the All-Star shortstop is batting a strong .303 with four home runs, four doubles, nine RBI, 15 runs scored and three stolen bases. Although the lefty-hitting Henderson has a weak .422 OPS versus left-handed pitching this season, he's crushed righties to the tune of a .981 OPS so far.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Receiving first day off

    Neto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    The 24-year-old missed the start of the season while recovering from shoulder surgery, but he started 33 straight games after making his season debut April 18 before getting a rest Sunday. Neto has been one of the most productive shortstops in baseball with eight homers, eight steals, 19 RBI and 28 runs in 143 plate appearances. Tim Anderson will step in at shortstop and bat leadoff versus Miami.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Getting day off

    Crawford is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Crawford will get a breather for the series finale after he had started in each of Seattle's last nine games. Dylan Moore will replace Crawford at shortstop and atop the batting order.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Back in action Sunday

    Walls (groin) will start at shortstop and bat seventh Sunday against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Walls sat out the previous three games due to groin soreness but is back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale. The 28-year-old has a .501 OPS through 45 games this season and is in the midst of a 2-for-25 slump.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Bowing out of starting nine

    Story is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Story will get a breather after he started both legs of Saturday's doubleheader, going hitless with two strikeouts over six at-bats. He's 14-for-111 (.126) with just two extra-base hits over the last 28 games. David Hamilton will spell Story at shortstop.
