Mauricio Dubon SS | ATL
Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Hits game-winning home run
Dubon went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Dubon hit a three-run blast into the right-field bullpen in the third inning to give Atlanta a 4-2 lead, which it wouldn't relinquish. The super-utility man has been playing left field pretty consistently after moving from shortstop once Ha-Seong Kim came back from injury. This game ended a 3-for-27 slump since May 23 for Dubon, and on the season he's slashing .249/.304/.380 with four homers, 23 runs and 32 RBI in 58 contests.

Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL
Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Getting rest Wednesday
Tovar isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Tovar will get a chance to regroup Wednesday after going 0-for-9 with six strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Willi Castro will shift to shortstop in Tovar's absence, opening up second base for Edouard Julien.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Sitting third straight
Neto (neck) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Wednesday will mark the Angels' third consecutive game without Neto in the starting nine while he battles whiplash. Manager Kurt Suzuki said the decision to sit him down was precautionary, per Bollinger, so it doesn't seem like the team is worried about the 25-year-old's injury leading to a stint on the IL. Oswald Peraza will pick up another start at shortstop; meanwhile, Neto will have a team off day to recover ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Dodgers.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Launches 10th homer
Crawford went 3-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Mets.
Crawford was responsible for three of the Mariners' six hits Wednesday and their lone run -- the shortstop led off the home half of the first inning with a 409-foot blast off Freddy Peralta for his 10th homer of the year and fourth in the last nine games. Crawford's boosted his slash line to .224/.351/.406 across 231 plate appearances with 30 runs scored and 23 RBI this season.

Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Beginning assignment Thursday
Arias (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Arias has been on the shelf since early April due to a strained left hamstring, but a week after resuming baseball activities, he's now ready to test his hamstring in a competitive setting. He's likely to require an extended rehab assignment because he's been out for so long, but he should be able to return from the IL by the end of June.

Luis Vazquez SS | BAL
Orioles' Luis Vazquez: Overcomes broken thumb
Triple-A Norfolk activated Vazquez (thumb) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Vazquez missed about two months of action due to a broken right thumb, but he's since rejoined Norfolk following a rehab assignment with High-A Frederick. After going 6-for-23 (.261) with four doubles, four RBI and two stolen bases during his assignment, Vazquez launched a solo home run in his return to the Tides on Tuesday.

Aidan Miller SS | PHI
Phillies' Aidan Miller: Slated for back surgery
The Phillies announced that Miller will undergo a radiofrequency ablation of the facet joints in his back Friday and is expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.
Miller might have pushed for a promotion to the majors by now had he been healthy and performing well at Lehigh Valley. However, he's been sidelined all season with nagging back problems, and a decision was made to have the minimally invasive procedure after he visited with multiple spine specialists. The top prospect will rest for one week before beginning the rehab process, and he could be ready to play for Triple-A Lehigh Valley as soon as late July.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Pops solo homer against Milwaukee
Adames went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and one walk in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Brewers.
Adames was the only Giants hitter to experience success against Brewers lefty Kyle Harrison. In three trips to the plate against Harrison, Adames walked, singled and belted a solo blast. It was Adames' ninth homer of the season and his sixth in the last 14 games. After a miserable start to the 2026 campaign, Adames is hitting .326 with 13 extra-base hits, including six homers, 18 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .989 OPS over his last 22 games. For the season, Adames is slashing .245/.285/.436 with nine long balls, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored, one stolen base and a 13:70 BB:K across 256 trips to the plate.

Taylor Walls SS | TB
Rays' Taylor Walls: Not starting Wednesday
Walls (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Walls exited Monday's 10-9 loss due to left hamstring tightness, though he described his removal from the contest as precautionary and said he felt "100 percent" ready to play if needed, per MLB.com. The Rays have nonetheless opted to hold Walls out of the lineup for the final two games of the series, though he may be available off the bench Wednesday. Ben Williamson will receive another start at shortstop in place of Walls.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Begins rehab assignment
Seager (back) started at shortstop and went 1-for-2 for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday.
Seager played three innings before being removed. In addition to getting on base, he had a few opportunities in the field to begin his rehab assignment. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker described it as a "really good day" for Seager, per Joe Harris and Theo DeRosa of MLB.com. Seager has been on the 10-day injured list since May 18 with lower-back inflammation.
