  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Four hits, four runs Thursday

    Sweeney went 4-for-8 with four runs scored in Thursday's doubleheader sweep over the Rockies.

    Sweeney has hit safely in his last eight games and has racked up four straight multi-hit efforts. During the hitting streak, he has gone 15-for-32 (.469) with two home runs, one double, seven RBI and nine runs scored. The shortstop has carved out a near-everyday role in recent weeks after beginning the year in a platoon with Javier Baez, who is now in the outfield. When the streak started, Sweeney was hitting .198, but he's up to .269 with a .732 OPS, three homers, 15 RBI, 23 runs and two stolen bases across 37 contests on the year.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Four hits, two steals Thursday

    Witt went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Thursday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.

    It was another standout effort from Witt, who's gone 10-for-22 (.455) with six extra-base hits and four steals in his last five contests. The star shortstop is now slashing .325/.392/.530 with five homers, 23 RBI, 25 runs scored and 13 steals across 171 plate appearances this season.

  • Alan Trejo SS | COL

    Rockies' Alan Trejo: Not starting Game 2

    Trejo isn't in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

    After going 0-for-2 with a sacrifice fly in the early game, Trejo will get a chance to rest during the nightcap while Kyle Farmer starts at shortstop and bats seventh.

  • Rays' Chandler Simpson: Not in Rays' lineup

    Simpson is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Phillies, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Tough southpaw Jesus Luzardo is on the bump for the Phillies, so the Rays will give the lefty-hitting Simpson a breather. They are starting fellow left-handed-swinging Kameron Misner in center field for the series finale.

  • Gage Workman 3B | DET

    White Sox's Gage Workman: Cleared for rehab games

    Workman (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Workman had made just one start for the White Sox before going down with a right hip flexor strain earlier this month. However, he has been cleared for games again and could be activated close to when he's first eligible Sunday.

  • Luis Almeyda SS | BAL

    Orioles' Luis Almeyda: Back in action in rookie ball

    Almeyda (shoulder) has gone 3-for-7 with a triple, a walk, a stolen base, two runs and three RBI in three games for the Orioles' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate.

    Almeyda didn't play after July 25 last season due to a right shoulder injury, but the 19-year-old appears to have moved past the issue at some point prior to the start of the 2025 FCL campaign. He finished the 2024 season with a .200/.337/.316 slash line to go with five home runs and 12 stolen bases over 53 games in the FCL.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Getting breather Thursday

    Seager is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Boston.

    Seager started each of the Rangers' first four games upon his activation from the injured list, but he'll get some rest for Thursday's matinee. Josh Smith will handle shortstop and bat leadoff for Texas.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Four more hits Wednesday

    Wilson went 4-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

    Wilson has been on a tear at the plate, recording multiple hits in four of his last five games -- he's gone 12-for-21 (.571) with a 1.275 OPS in that span. The rookie shortstop has boosted his slash line to .357/.383/.476 across 150 plate appearances this season with three homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored and a stolen base.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Tallies two hits in victory

    Adames went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Cubs.

    Adames singled in the first inning and knocked a double into left field during the fifth, delivering his second multi-hit performance over his last five games. The 29-year-old shortstop has gone 7-for-20 with two home runs and two doubles in that span, rebounding from an early-season slump after recording a .185 batting average over his first 20 appearances. Adames is now slashing .230/.314/.358 with 22 runs scored, 19 RBI and an 18:40 BB:K across 169 plate appearances.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Heating up in power department

    Witt went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

    Although Witt is batting just .250 over 28 at-bats so far in May, he's beginning to heat up in the power department. The All-Star shortstop has two doubles, three homers and nine RBI to go with three walks and two stolen bases over his last seven games. Witt didn't have any long balls in his final 14 outings in April, so he's certainly starting to get back on track when it comes to slugging.
