  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Sitting amid slump

    Story is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Tigers.

    Story had started seven games in a row and 40 of 43 games he was available for, but he is hitting .122 with a 35 percent strikeout rate over his last 18 games. David Hamilton, who is batting .180 this year, is starting at shortstop and batting eighth.

  • Rayne Doncon SS | MIN

    Twins' Rayne Doncon: Shelved for Kernels

    High-A Cedar Rapids placed Doncon on the 7-day injured list April 12 with an undisclosed injury.

    The 21-year-old corner infielder hit .063 with one home run and a 44.4 percent strikeout rate in five games before landing on the shelf. Doncon hit .254 with 11 home runs, six steals and a 21.9 percent strikeout rate last year while splitting the year between Single-A and High-A.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Rejoining Triple-A club

    The White Sox transferred Montgomery from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Montgomery will rejoin Charlotte for the first time since late April, after he was sent back to extended spring training to work on his swing mechanics upon slashing .149/.223/.255 with a 41.7 percent strikeout rate over 103 plate appearances to begin the International League season. The 23-year-old returned to action when the ACL season began earlier this month and appeared in five games, going 3-for-17 with a 2:4 BB:K. Despite the middling results in his limited sample of action in Arizona, the White Sox were evidently satisfied enough with Montgomery's plate approach to have him report back to Charlotte. If he can get back in track at Triple-A and keep his strikeouts in check, Montgomery could still be a candidate to make his MLB debut at some point later this season.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Gets another start at shortstop

    Duran started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.

    Duran make his second straight start in place of the injured Corey Seager (hamstring). Josh Smith is typically the next man up at shortstop, but he was unavailable Monday due to back soreness. Once or both of Seager and Smith return to action, Duran will likely see fewer opportunities in the Texas infield.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Logs eighth double of 2025 in loss

    Adames went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Adames lined a double into left field during the fifth inning before coming around to score the Giants' lone run. The 29-year-old shortstop has struggled in his last five games, batting .190 with a 1:10 BB:K across 22 plate appearances during that span. Adames is now slashing .218/.296/.339 with 24 runs scored, 19 RBI, eight doubles and four home runs across 186 plate appearances this season.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Gets aboard four times in win

    Volpe went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Monday's 11-5 win over the Mariners.

    Volpe ended a 12-game homer drought with his ninth-inning long ball to pad the Yankees' lead. The shortstop was steady during that stretch, batting .277 (13-for-47) with four doubles and three stolen bases. He's up to a .245/.335/.442 slash line with six homers, 24 RBI, 22 runs scored, six steals and 11 doubles over 40 contests. Volpe has hit safely in five of his last six games, logging three multi-hit efforts in that span.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Goes yard Monday

    Neto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-5 win over the Padres.

    Neto opened the scoring with a third-inning blast, but the Angels' lead was short-lived. This was a positive performance in the series opener for the shortstop, who went just 1-for-12 with a walk and three strikeouts over the three-game series versus the Orioles this past weekend. For the season, Neto is batting .279 with an .845 OPS, five homers, 10 RBI, 16 runs scored, seven stolen bases and five doubles over 22 contests.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Belts home run in return

    Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.

    Kiner-Falefa slashed .302/.327/.377 with two stolen bases and three RBI in the 15 games prior to his stint on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain. He picked up where he left off Monday, smashing a solo home run to left-center field off David Peterson in the second frame. Kiner-Falefa added a single in the sixth frame to log his seventh multi-hit game of the season, and he has a career-best .704 OPS over 113 plate appearances this year.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Drives in three runs

    Sweeney went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer in Monday's win against Boston.

    Sweeney ripped a three-run shot during Detroit's nine-run third inning. He later singled in the fourth and eighth frames. Sweeney has been on a tear lately, producing five multi-hit games over his last seven appearances. That hot streak has boosted his season OPS from .600 to .735 with four home runs through 40 games.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Slugs ninth homer

    Swanson went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 5-2 win against the Marlins.

    The Chicago shortstop opened the game's scoring when he popped a 400-foot, two-run homer off Miami starter Cal Quantrill in the fifth. Swanson has been scorching hot lately, batting .422 (19-for-45) with five homers, 12 runs scored and nine RBI across his last 13 games. Overall, the 31-year-old is slashing .248/.303/.472 with 29 runs scored, 24 RBI and four steals over 176 plate appearances.
