  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Returns from IL

    The Angels reinstated Neto (shoulder) from the injured list Friday.

    Neto has spent the first few weeks of the season on the injured list while finishing up his recovery from a shoulder procedure he underwent in November. The 24-year-old has been playing rehab games at Triple-A Salt Lake since the start of April, however, and has slashed .286/.397/.592 with four homers, eight RBI and 16 runs scored while logging a base hit in 11 of his 13 contests. Now fully healthy, he figures to slide back in as the Angels' everyday shortstop. Nicky Lopez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Back in lineup

    Correa (wrist) is starting at shortstop and batting fifth against Atlanta on Friday.

    Correa tweaked his left wrist against the Mets on Tuesday. He underwent an MRI and missed Wednesday's contest, but the injury doesn't appear to be of much concern, as he's back in the lineup for Friday's series opener. Correa is slashing .164/.227/.246 with five walks, five runs scored and four RBI through 66 plate appearances to begin the season.

  • Rays' Chandler Simpson: Not in Friday's lineup

    The Rays selected Simpson's contract from Triple-A Durham on Friday.

    While Simpson is now officially on the Rays' active roster, he is still traveling and will not arrive in time for the start of Friday's game against the Yankees, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Thus, he is not in the lineup but could conceivably appear off the bench. Manager Kevin Cash indicated earlier Friday that Simpson will play regularly while with the big club.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Absent from Friday's lineup

    Rocchio is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Pittsburgh.

    Rocchio isn't dealing with any known injury, but he's now been out of the lineup for two of the last three games. Gabriel Arias will get the call at shortstop for the Guardians while Angel Martinez handles second base.

  • Rays' Chandler Simpson: Getting call to big leagues

    The Rays will call up Simpson from Triple-A Durham, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    The most prolific base stealer in the minors, Simpson swiped 104 bags between High-A Bowling Green and Double-A Montgomery last season and has already stolen eight bases this year with Durham. Simpson has no power and it's fair to question how much he'll ultimately hit, but his difference-making ability on the basepaths makes him a must-add in rotisserie leagues. Manager Kevin Cash said Friday that Simpson is "going to get an opportunity here and a little bit of a runway."

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Out of Friday's lineup

    Sweeney is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Royals on Friday.

    Sweeney has gone 3-for-11 with two RBI against left-handed pitching this season, but he'll begin Friday's contest in the dugout with the Royals sending southpaw Cole Ragans to the mound. Javier Baez will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Socks fourth homer in win

    Seager went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Angels.

    Seager socked a 427-foot blast into deep center field in the seventh inning, giving the Rangers an insurance run to put the team ahead 5-3. The star shortstop is off to a strong start at the dish in 2025, slashing .306/.368/.516 with four round trippers, one double, six RBI and six runs scored through 62 at-bats (17 games). Seager now has multiple hits in three straight contests.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Smacks first homer of 2025

    Henderson went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Guardians.

    Henderson got the Orioles on the board with a solo home run off Tanner Bibee in the first inning. Thursday marked Henderson's first homer of 2025 and could be a sign that the 23-year-old shortstop is fully past the right intercostal strain that forced him to begin the season on the 10-day injured list. After going 4-for-29 in his first seven games of the year, he has three multi-hit performances with three extra-base hits in his past four contests.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Extends hit streak to 10 games

    Witt went 1-for-4 with one walk and one double in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Tigers.

    Witt drew a walk in his first plate appearance, and his double to right field in the fifth inning extended his hitting streak to 10 games. The superstar shortstop ranks 10th in the American League in both batting average (.307) and on-base percentage (.384), and he's tied for ninth in stolen bases (five) across 86 plate appearances to start the season.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Heating up this month

    Lindor went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.

    Lindor lined a single to drive in a run in the fourth inning but also helped another run come across while getting caught in a rundown to end the frame. The All-Star shortstop has now hit safely in 13 of his 14 outings in April, slashing .317/.377/.433 with one home run, six RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases across 60 at-bats this month following a 0-for-11 start in March.
