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.

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.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Snaps homerless skid in rout
Turner went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Rays.
Turner snapped a 24-game homerless skid Wednesday, also registering his sixth multi-hit game in his last nine outings. During this nine-game stretch, the All-Star shortstop has gone a sizzling 18-for-39 (.462) with two doubles, five RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases. Turner is now up to 10 multi-hit efforts on the season.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
Angels' Tim Anderson: Shifts back to reserve role
Anderson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Anderson made three straight starts at second base this past weekend, but he's shifted back to a bench role for the Angels' first two games against the Blue Jays after the team welcomed Yoan Moncada back from the injured list. Anderson's playing time could be limited moving forward while the quartet of Nolan Schanuel, Luis Rengifo, Zach Neto and Moncada typically makes up the Angels' starting infield against both right- and left-handed pitching.

Angel Genao SS | CLE
Guardians' Angel Genao: Ready for sim games
Genao (shoulder) is scheduled to begin participating in simulated games at the Guardians' spring training facility as early as next week, SI.com reports.
The switch-hitting shortstop has been sidelined all season after spraining his right shoulder during spring training. He remains on Double-A Akron's 7-day injured list, but he should be ready to make his Eastern League debut in the coming weeks. If Genao's shoulder responds well to playing in simulated games, he's then expected to begin a rehab assignment with the Guardians' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate.

Jeremy Pena SS | HOU
Astros' Jeremy Pena: Productive from leadoff spot
Pena went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Brewers.
The big blow from the shortstop was a three-run blast in the sixth inning off Elvin Rodriguez, Pena's fifth long ball of the season. After a sluggish start to the season at the plate, Pena has hit safely in 24 of the last 26 games, boosting his slash line on the season to .279/.340/.434 with five steals, 16 RBI and 19 runs.
