  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Removed early

    Abrams was pulled from Friday's game against Miami due to an apparent injury, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

    It's not immediately clear what kind of injury Abrams is dealing with, though it may have something to do with the hip/thigh injury that held him out of two games earlier in the week. If the All-Star shortstop ends up needing to miss more time, Amed Rosario and Jose Tena would be candidates for additional starts in the infield.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Starting Friday

    Tovar (hip) is starting at shortstop and batting third against the Padres on Friday.

    Tovar was held out of Thursday's game against the Brewers due to a nagging hip issue, but he's back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta. Tovar has started the season slashing .277/.306/.404 with two stolen bases, four doubles and four RBI across 49 plate appearances.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Headed to Chicago

    The White Sox selected Meidroth's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    To make room for Meidroth on the 40-man roster, the White Sox designated Justin Anderson for assignment. Meidroth was acquired from the Red Sox in the Garrett Crochet trade during the offseason, and he's now headed to the big leagues after slashing .267/.450/.600 with three home runs, four RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases across 40 plate appearances at Triple-A. Meidroth is expected to see the bulk of his playing time at shortstop.

  • Greg Jones RF | HOU

    White Sox's Greg Jones: Sent back to minors

    The White Sox optioned Jones to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    Jones spent just two days in the majors following his Wednesday promotion. The outfielder didn't appear in a game for the White Sox during his short stay with the big club. In a corresponding move, the White Sox selected the contract of infielder Chase Meidroth.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: On base three times

    Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Thursday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.

    Rocchio returned to the lineup after a routine day off Wednesday and delivered his second multi-hit game of the season. He hasn't done much offensively, batting just .231 with two extra-base hits, two runs scored and three RBI (all in one game) across 36 plate appearances.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Scratched from Thursday's lineup

    Montgomery was scratched from Triple-A Charlotte's lineup Thursday.

    The reason for Montgomery's removal from the lineup is unclear, but no injury has been announced. Montgomery has struggled to start the season with Charlotte, collecting only three hits across 37 at-bats while striking out at a 50 percent clip.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Swipes two bags, walks it off

    Story went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Thursday's 4-3 extra-inning victory over the Blue Jays.

    After stealing two bases earlier in the outing, Story grounded out with the bases loaded to bring home the winning run in the ninth inning and walk it off for the Red Sox. The oft-injured shortstop went just 2-for-15 to open the season, but Story is picking it up in April, batting .316 with two home runs, one double and five RBI over 38 at-bats this month.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Headed to big leagues

    The White Sox are expected to call up Meidroth from Triple-A Charlotte, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

    Acquired from the Red Sox over the offseason in the Garrett Crochet trade, Meidroth earned the promotion by slashing .267/.450/.600 with three home runs, two stolen bases and a 5:8 K:BB over his first nine contests with Charlotte. He has played both second base and shortstop with Charlotte, but each of his last four starts there have come at shortstop, and that's likely the position where the White Sox intend to use him. The White Sox will need to make space on their 40-man roster in order to add Meidroth.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Sitting Thursday

    Arcia isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

    Arcia has gone 3-for-7 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in two games since his four-game benching, but he'll get another day off Thursday while Nick Allen starts at shortstop and bats ninth.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Held out with hip issue

    Rockies manager Bud Black said that Tovar is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers due to a hip issue, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

    Black noted that while the hip problem has nagged at Tovar for a bit, the club does not think it's serious. The Rockies begin a road trip Friday in San Diego, and Tovar looks like he has a chance to be back in the lineup at that time. Kyle Farmer will start at shortstop Thursday.
