Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Taking part in full activities
The Red Sox announced June 28 that Story (sports hernia) is taking part in full baseball activities, MLB.com reports.
Story hasn't yet been cleared to do every activity at 100 percent intensity, so until he reaches that benchmark in his recovery from sports hernia surgery, he won't be ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 33-year-old shortstop previously said that he expected to miss around eight weeks after undergoing surgery May 21, so he may have a shot at returning from the 60-day injured list at some point shortly after the All-Star break.

Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Mets' Francisco Lindor: Crosses plate three times Sunday
Lindor went 1-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
The shortstop reached on an error to lead off the game, singled in the second inning and drew a free pass in the ninth, coming around to score each time. Lindor is gaining some momentum at the plate, hitting safely in four straight contests while going 5-for-16 with a homer, two RBI and four runs, but on the season he still carries what would be a career-low .690 OPS through 145 plate appearances.

Michael Arroyo SS | SEA
Mariners' Michael Arroyo: Promoted to Triple-A
The Mariners promoted Arroyo from Double-A Arkansas to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Daniel Kremer of MLB.com reports.
Arroyo earned a promotion to the Mariners' top minor-league affiliate after slashing .287/.364/.456 with 10 home runs and 13 stolen bases across 65 games at Arkansas. The 21-year-old has split time between second base and left field this season, two positions that are occupied by Cole Young and Randy Arozarena, respectively, in the majors. Arroyo is now one step away from his debut, but it might take an injury for him to be summoned to the big leagues in 2026.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Not hitting since landing on shelf
Wilson (thumb) hasn't resumed hitting since landing on the injured list June 29 and isn't expected to be available to play until after the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.
The Athletics likely won't have a good feel for a target date for Wilson's return until he's able to resume full baseball activities, but the 24-year-old appears to be shut down from activity for now while he waits for the swelling in his right thumb to subside. Since Wilson was placed on the IL, Alika Williams and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer have been sharing time at shortstop.

Bobby Witt SS | KC
Royals' Bobby Witt: Records 30th steal Sunday
Witt went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, a steal and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Phillies.
Witt didn't drive in any runs but still made an impact offensively, reaching base three times and scoring twice. After drawing a walk in the eighth inning, the speedy shortstop swiped second base for his 30th stolen base of the season. Only Nasim Nunez (32) has more stolen bases than Witt this season. Since re-entering the lineup after dealing with a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee, the 26-year-old is slashing .241/.303/.483 with two homers, four RBI, six runs and two stolen bases across eight games.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Goes yard in three-hit effort
Neto went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Red Sox.
With two outs in the ninth inning, Neto turned on an Aroldis Chapman fastball for a solo homer to cap off a three-hit performance for the shortstop. Over his past 18 games, Neto is slashing .271/.320/.614 with six homers, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored. The 25-year-old has put together another solid campaign in 2026, slashing .231/.323/.458 with 19 homers, 45 RBI, 61 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 89 games, though he's striking out at a hefty 31.8 percent clip.

Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX
Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Goes deep in loss
Duran started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Tigers.
Duran trimmed Detroit's lead in the eighth inning by taking Drew Anderson deep for his seventh home run of the season. He started at the hot corner in place of Josh Jung (knee) after filling in for shortstop Corey Seager (back) on Saturday. Prior to that, Duran had a stretch of games in right field while filling in for the then-injured Brandon Nimmo. The versatile infielder has swung the bat well recently, batting .353 with an .802 OPS over his last nine games. Through 301 plate appearances this season, Duran is slashing .273/.323/.418 with seven home runs, 15 doubles, two triples, 44 RBI, 35 runs scored and six stolen bases.

For the season, the shortstop is batting .346 with an .896 OPS, nine homers, 43 RBI, 59 runs scored, 25 doubles, five triples and 17 stolen bases through 89 contests.
