  • Juan Brito SS | CLE

    Guardians' Juan Brito: Back from Triple-A IL

    Triple-A Columbus activated Brito (thumb) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

    Brito needed surgery in late April to repair a high-grade ligament sprain in his right thumb, but he's ready to go after playing seven rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. The 23-year-old infielder slashed .291/.406/.491 with two home runs and four steals in 16 games for Columbus before getting hurt. Brito could eventually become an option for Cleveland at second base if he plays well at Columbus.

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Seeing time at third base

    Walcott started at third base and went 2-for-4 with three steals for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday.

    Walcott, who has played mostly shortstop this season, made his seventh start at third base. All seven have come over the last month. At 6-foot-4, Walcott can be viewed as a slugger first, but the prospect also has a speed component and uses his long legs to eat up distance on the basepaths. The 19-year-old Walcott has 15 steals (caught five times) through 66 games.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Battling jammed shoulder

    Neto jammed his right shoulder during Tuesday's win over Boston, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports.

    Neto suffered the injury while attempting to steal second base during the eighth inning. He then made a wild throw to first base during the ninth frame, so the Angels pulled him as a precaution. The severity of his injury remains unknown, though the team may have more information ahead of Wednesday's series finale.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Exits with injury

    Neto was removed from Tuesday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent injury, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

    Neto was visited on the field by a trainer after making a bad throw to first base in the ninth inning. It's possible the young infielder's injury has something to do with his shoulder, which seemed to be giving him trouble after a steal attempt in the eighth, but more clarity should come after the Angels' training staff evaluates him.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Racks up season-high four RBI

    Winn went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 victory over the Cubs.

    Winn's four RBI established a season high, and it was just the fifth time this year that he ripped multiple extra-base hits. June has been a quiet period so far for the speedy shortstop, who's batting just .216 with five doubles, nine RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases through 88 at-bats this month, but Winn has remained St. Louis' everyday shortstop despite the recent cold spell.

  • Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Belts two homers

    Ortiz went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's win against Pittsburgh.

    Ortiz opened the game's scoring with a two-run shot in the third inning and added a solo blast in the fourth. It was his first long ball since May 23, snapping a 28-game drought. Ortiz has gone 14-for-33 (.424) over his last eight games and now owns a .217/.275/.297 slash line through 78 appearances.

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: On fire at High-A

    McGonigle is batting .382 with a 1.167 OPS, five home runs and 28 RBI across 26 games for High-A West Michigan.

    Before going 0-for-3 on Tuesday, McGonigle was riding a nine-game hitting streak, which included both a four-hit and a five-hit effort. The 20-year-old, who was selected with the No. 37 overall pick back in 2023, has quickly established himself as one of the best pure hitters in the minors. McGonigle has yet to appear above the High-A level and is likely still a few years away from the majors, but he's worth keeping a close eye on, particularly in dynasty formats.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Crosses plate three times in win

    Abrams went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Padres.

    Facing the team he made his big-league debut with in 2022 after being a first-round pick in 2019, Abrams had another impressive performance from the top of the Nationals' order. The 24-year-old shortstop has seven multi-hit efforts in his last 14 games, a blistering stretch in which he's slashing .368/.455/.596 with three homers, five steals, six RBI and 17 runs scored.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: On base twice in win

    Kiner-Falefa went 1-for-3 with a triple, an RBI and a walk Monday against the Brewers.

    Kiner-Faelfa delivered the game-winning run on an RBI triple in the sixth inning, his first extra-base hit since June 10. He's had a tough month, going 13-for-64 with five RBI, one stolen base and one run scored across 20 games. Despite the struggles, Kiner-Falefa remains the Pirates' everyday shortstop.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Moves to leadoff

    Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 with two walks, a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.

    Perdomo batted leadoff for a second straight game, as the Diamondbacks are without Corbin Carroll (hand), who is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list. That means Perdomo will likely replace Carroll as the leadoff hitter against right-handers, while Ketel Marte maintains his role atop the order against lefties. Perdomo has experienced a slight downturn during June -- he's batting .190 (15-for-79) with a .624 OPS -- but he's contributed seven extra-base hits, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored over 20 contests.
