Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Swipes bag in win
Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 1-0 win over Colorado.
Perdomo extended a hit streak to six games with a second-inning single, after which he stole his 11th base over 46 games. That's two more than the shortstop had in 98 games last year, and he's threatening the career-high 16 swipes he posted in 2023 across 144 games. Perdomo is enjoying his most productive season since becoming a full-time starter in 2022.

Angels' Zach Neto: Smashes leadoff home run
Neto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.
Neto started the scoring Sunday, launching a home run on the third pitch of the game. It was the shortstop's seventh long ball on the season and his third in his last six appearances. During that stretch, Neto is 8-for-24 (.333) with seven RBI and seven runs scored.

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Homers twice in win
Abrams went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Orioles.
Abrams led off the game with a home run and added another in the second inning. The shortstop has been locked in over his past 10 games, logging five multi-hit performances with eight extra-base hits, four RBI, eight runs scored and a steal. On the season, he's slashing .312/.368/.574 with eight home runs, 18 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 156 plate appearances.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Picks up third steal
Wilson went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Giants.
Wilson had a two-homer game Tuesday versus the Dodgers, but he followed that up with an 0-for-14 slump over the next four games. He shook off that dry spell with a multi-hit effort Sunday, and he also picked up his third steal of the season, though the 23-year-old continues to be more a contact hitter than a speedster. He's up to a .337/.369/.478 slash line with five home runs, 26 RBI, 25 runs scored and 10 doubles across 45 contests in 2025.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Placed on IL
Miami moved Edwards to the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left mid-back strain.
Edwards sat out both Friday and Saturday due to the back issue, and he's now going to need to rest for at least eight more days before potentially returning to action for Miami. In positive news for the Marlins, the team got another starting middle infielder back, Otto Lopez (ankle) was activated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. While Edwards is sidelined, Javier Sanoja will likely serve as the team's primary option at shortstop.

Josh H. Smith SS | TEX
Rangers' Josh Smith: Receiving day off vs. lefty
Smith is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Smith started the previous four games after missing a couple contests due to a back injury, and he'll take a seat Sunday after going 3-for-16 with an RBI and a run scored during that span. Ezequiel Duran will step in at shortstop against Houston southpaw Framber Valdez.

Jeremy Pena SS | HOU
Astros' Jeremy Pena: Receiving first day off
Pena is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Pena has played every inning of all 45 games for the Astros in 2025, so he's getting a well-deserved day off after going 0-for-7 with two walks and a run in the first two games of the series at Texas. Mauricio Dubon will take over at shortstop while Isaac Paredes moves up to the leadoff spot.

Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL
Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Racks up career-high five hits
Tovar went 5-for-6 with a solo home run, a triple, two total runs and two total RBI against Arizona in a 14-12 victory Saturday.
In just his second game since returning from a month-long stint on the injured list, Tovar shined with his first career five-hit performance. Among the knocks was a 425-foot solo homer in the third inning and an RBI single that provided a big insurance run in the ninth. Tovar has collected hits in bunches this season -- he came into Saturday with just two hits over his previous 23 at-bats, but before that he had put together a 10-for-23 stretch across five contests. After mashing 26 home runs in a breakout campaign last year, Tovar's long ball Saturday was his first through 18 games this season.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Three hits, two steals in loss
Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Mariners.
Bogaerts had slumped a bit over his previous five games, going 2-for-15 with four walks in that span. He rapped out three singles and added two steals Saturday in an attempt to spark the Padres' offense, but it didn't amount to a comeback. The shortstop is up to eight steals this season without getting caught. His career high is 19 thefts in 2023, a number he's on pace to easily surpass if he stays active on the basepaths. He's added a .252/.339/.371 slash line with three home runs, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored and nine doubles across 44 contests.

Dansby Swanson SS | CHC
Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Big performance in win
Swanson went 2-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run, two additional runs scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox.
The Cubs ran wild in this one, going 6-for-6 on steal attempts against young catcher Edgar Quero, and Swanson got in on the action to snap an 18-game stretch without a pilfer while also doing damage with his bat. The shortstop has five multi-hit performances in his last 11 contests, a surge that has seen him bat .389 (14-for-36) with three of his 10 homers on the season, along with eight RBI and nine runs.
