  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Cracks first homer with Giants

    Adames went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in Monday's 10-4 win at Philadelphia.

    Adames cleared the right-center field wall in the second inning to collect his first long ball after joining San Francisco on a seven-year, $182 million deal. The 39-year-old shortstop has been cold to open 2025, slashing .203/.287/.297 across 72 plate appearances, but perhaps this performance will get him going.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Goes deep in loss

    Witt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Yankees.

    Witt opened the game's scoring with a solo blast in the third inning. It was his second home run of the year and first since April 5. Despite the relative lack of power so far, Witt owns a strong .317/.397/.508 slash line with 11 runs scored through 17 games.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Losing work to Nick Allen

    Arcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Arcia has started just three times in the last 11 games and appears to have ceded the top job at shortstop to Nick Allen, who has produced a .321/.367/.393 slash line so far this season. Meanwhile, Arcia has struggled mightily at the plate, posting a .490 OPS while striking out at a career-worst 28 percent clip over 25 plate appearances.

  • Nick Allen SS | HOU

    Braves' Nick Allen: Getting third consecutive start

    Allen will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

    The playing time at shortstop has tilted in favor of Allen lately, with the 26-year-old picking up his fourth start in five games after going 4-for-10 with a double, two runs and a stolen base over his prior three starts. The owner of a .213/.258/.287 slash line over parts of four seasons in the majors, Allen has provided most of his value on the defensive end during his career, but his improved production at the dish to begin his time in Atlanta looks to have at least temporarily vaulted him ahead of Orlando Arcia on the depth chart.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Swats third homer

    Story went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

    Story opened the game's scoring with a two-run double in the sixth inning and tacked on an insurance run with his solo shot in the ninth. He had just one extra-base hit in eight games since his last home run April 4. The veteran shortstop looks more like his vintage self with a strong .308/.328/.477 slash line through 67 plate appearances.

  • Padres' Jose Iglesias: Cracks two doubles in victory

    Iglesias went 2-for-2 with two doubles, two walks, a run and two RBI in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Rockies.

    The 35-year-old finally made do on filling in for Jake Cronenworth (rib), picking up his first extra-base hits in his fifth consecutive start. Iglesias capped off the scoring in a four-run first inning with his first double of 2025 off Colorado starter Kyle Freeland. He then collected his second two-bagger in the fourth. The veteran Iglesias, who raised his slash line to .292/.370/.375 over 27 plate appearances with this effort, will continue to get playing time while Cronenworth is on the injured list.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Drawing start Sunday

    Rojas will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    With Andy Pages getting the day off and Tommy Edman filling in as the Dodgers' starting center fielder, Rojas will draw into the lineup for the ninth time in 17 games on the season, covering Edman's usual spot at the keystone. Three of Rojas' starts came during the first three games of the season when Mookie Betts was battling an illness, but Rojas' playing time will likely be more sporadic now that Los Angeles is at full strength in both the infield and outfield.

  • Padres' Jose Iglesias: Filling in for injured Cronenworth

    Iglesias will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Iglesias will pick up his fifth straight start Sunday, including his fourth in a row at the keystone. He looks set to serve as the Padres' everyday second baseman until Jake Cronenworth (rib) returns from the 10-day injured list.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    Angels' Tim Anderson: Hitting bench Sunday

    Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Anderson will hit the bench after he had made six straight starts at either second base or shortstop while going 2-for-19 with two walks, two runs, one RBI and one stolen base. Kyren Paris will likely hold down the fort at second base while Yoan Moncada (thumb) is on the shelf, and Luis Rengifo will shift to third base, but Anderson could still see consistent playing time at shortstop ahead of Kevin Newman and Nicky Lopez.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Getting first day off

    Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Correa will retreat to the bench for the first time all season after drawing 15 consecutive starts. Willi Castro will fill in at shortstop for Correa, who should be back in the lineup for the Twins' next game Monday against the Mets.
