Smith started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

Smith made a second straight start at shortstop, as Corey Seager rested his hamstring Thursday and Friday, per Steve Kornacki of MLB.com. Smith has hit safely in five consecutive games, going 10-for-21 with a triple, two RBI and three runs scored.

Seager was not in Friday's lineup to rest his injured right hamstring, Steve Kornacki of MLB.com reports.

Seager was held out of games Thursday and Friday without a reason given. It's unclear if Seager aggravated his previous hamstring injury, or if the Rangers are being extra cautious with the shortstop, who was activated off the injured list a week ago. Josh Smith filled in at shortstop while Seager rested his hamstring.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple, a walk and an additional RBI in Friday's 4-1 win over the Angels.

Henderson racked up a season-high seven total bases, submitting his second triple and fourth homer of the campaign. The All-Star shortstop also extended his on-base streak to 15 games, during which he's batting .305 (18-for-59) with two round trippers, three doubles, four RBI and six runs scored. Henderson entered the game with a top-shelf 53.0 percent hard-hit rate, so perhaps Friday was a sign that some positive regression in the power department is on the horizon.

Meidroth was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against Miami due to right shoulder soreness.

The White Sox are labeling Meidroth as day-to-day, so it doesn't seem like he's at risk of missing an extended amount of time. Jacob Amaya replaced Meidroth in the lineup Friday and would be the likely choice to start at shortstop if Meidroth needs to sit out any more games.

Triolo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

Triolo, who entered Friday's game 2-for-25 over his last 11 games, extended the Pirates' lead to two runs in the sixth inning when he took Bryce Elder deep to left field for a solo shot. Triolo has been struggling at the plate as of late, but he should continue to see plenty of starts at shortstop due to Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) being on the 10-day injured list.

Meidroth was a late scratch from Friday's lineup against the Marlins.

Everybody moves up one spot, and Jacob Amaya slides in at the bottom of the order at shortstop. Meidroth is slashing .245/.355/.264 with just one double, two RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases across his first 62 big-league plate appearances.

Seager is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Detroit.

Seager getting a day off when the Tigers send lefty Tarik Skubal to the bump isn't necessarily unexpected. However, Seager didn't start Thursday's game in Boston, either, so he might be dealing with some sort of physical issue. Josh Smith is at shortstop and hitting seventh Friday.

Tovar (hip) has resumed batting and fielding practice as well as running the bases, MLB.com reports.

Tovar has been sidelined since April 16 due to a hip injury that has been nagging him for much of the season. He has now cleared a significant milestone in his recovery, and the shortstop will rehab with Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, per Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com.

Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a double in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

Nothing has been able to slow down Perdomo, whether he's hitting at the top of the order in place of an injured Ketel Marte or back down in his familiar ninth spot. Since Marte's return, Perdomo is batting .375 (9-for-24) with a .964 OPS from the bottom of the order. While filling in for Marte, he had a 1.101 OPS from the leadoff spot and an .836 OPS when hitting second. Perdomo has generated more barrels and harder contact in 2025 while getting the ball in the air more often than he had in previous seasons.

Walls went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and was caught stealing in Thursday's game against the Phillies.

Walls started his fifth straight game at shortstop and has gone 7-for-17 at the plate in that span. He also has four runs scored in that stretch, while raising his average to .205. As the latter number indicates, Walls is a light hitter, limiting his fantasy appeal even if he continues to get consistent at-bats.
