  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Day off Wednesday

    Walls is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Walls had a rare big night offensively in Tuesday's 11-3 win over Seattle, going 3-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored. He'll begin Wednesday's game on the bench, enabling Jose Caballero to pick up a start at shortstop.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: On base five times Tuesday

    Abrams went 3-for-3 with two walks, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Padres.

    Abrams has rattled off three hits in four of his last five games, and he's added three steals, three RBI and eight runs scored in that span. The shortstop's sizzling stretch has him up to a .283/.335/.507 slash line through 71 contests. His .842 OPS is his highest mark since May 12. Abrams has done a little of everything this year, adding 12 home runs, 40 RBI, 48 runs scored, 13 steals, 19 doubles and five triples.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Most productive game of season

    Walls went 3-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Mariners.

    Walls recorded just his second multi-hit game in 12 starts this season, and the performance brought his average to .175 on the campaign. Despite his struggles at the plate, Walls has made five consecutive starts at shortstop, all of which have come against right-handed pitchers.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Homers, scores three times in loss

    Henderson went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in a 10-8 loss to the Guardians on Tuesday.

    Henderson hit a two-run home run in the first inning then walked and scored in the third. He later singled and scored in the seventh frame and added another walk in the eighth. Henderson registered his seventh-multi hit game in June and is now slashing .333/.436/.667 with seven home runs and 14 RBI this month. On the season, the 22-year-old shortstop is slashing .282/.383/.607 with 25 homers, 55 RBI, 69 runs scored and 13 steals over 305 at-bats.

  • Ryan Kreidler 3B | MIN

    Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Swipes two bases Tuesday

    Kreidler went 2-for-2 with a walk, a run and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.

    Kreidler stole the first two bases of his MLB career in the seventh inning. The 26-year-old has mostly been a bench player in the majors, so while Tuesday's effort was promising, it looks to be an outlier. Zach McKinstry should get most of the playing time at shortstop in the near future with Javier Baez (back) still on the injured list, pushing Kreidler to a reserve role most days.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Not close to IL return

    Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Baez (back) won't be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of the team's road trip July 7, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Baez became eligible to return from the IL on June 19, but Hinch noted that the shortstop will miss the upcoming 10-game road trip and requires an "extensive" rehab assignment prior to being activated. Given Hinch's comments, Baez seems likely to remain out through the All-Star break. Zach McKinstry and Ryan Kreidler have been splitting time at shortstop since Baez was placed on the IL.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: On bench as expected

    Arcia (head) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Arcia was expected to miss Tuesday's game after being lifted from Monday's contest due to dizziness. Zack Short will fill in at shortstop and Arcia should be considered day-to-day moving forward.

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Back in action Tuesday

    Sosa (elbow) will start at second base and bat sixth in Tuesday's game in Detroit.

    Sosa had to depart a game over the weekend after being hit in the left elbow by a pitch, but he's ready to roll now. He and his teammates will be tasked in trying to solve Tarik Skubal on Tuesday.

  • David Hamilton SS | MIL

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Absent from lineup

    Hamilton is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

    Hamilton hit a big home run in the Red Sox' comeback win over the Blue Jays on Monday, but he will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Ceddanne Rafaela is at shortstop and Enmanuel Valdez will play second base.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Back from IL, as expected

    The Blue Jays activated Bichette (calf) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Bichette will skip a rehab assignment and rejoin the floundering Blue Jays following a minimum 10-day stay on the IL. He'll bat leadoff Tuesday against the Red Sox. Isiah Kiner-Falefa had been handling shortstop while Bichette was on the shelf but now will slide back to third base.
