  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Likely sitting Tuesday

    Manager Brian Snitker stated that the team will probably give Arcia (head) Tuesday off, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Arcia received fluids after leaving Monday's game due to dizziness and didn't appear to be feeling well in the clubhouse afterward, per Toscano. "Just probably dehydrated, I guess," said Snitker. "I don't know. I know they gave him fluids, so we'll probably put him down tomorrow and let him regroup and see where he's at." Zack Short would be the obvious choice for a start at shortstop Tuesday in Arcia's place.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Exits due to dizziness

    Arcia left Monday's game against the Cardinals after experiencing dizziness.

    The club notes that Arcia's removal from the matchup was only precautionary, and he's likely headed for further testing. The starting shortstop will be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Back in lineup Monday

    Neto (calf) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth for Monday's series opener against Oakland, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Neto was removed in the fourth inning of Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers due to left calf tightness. Angels manager Ron Washington said after Saturday's game that the injury was minor, per Sam Blum of The Athletic, and Neto will end up not missing any games with the team having its off day Sunday. Neto is slashing .250/.299/.433 with 10 home runs and 32 RBI across 272 plate appearances this season.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Remains on track to return Tuesday

    Bichette (calf) went through a full workout Monday and remains on track for activation from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

    Bichette's placement on the IL earlier this month with a right calf strain seemed to be precautionary more than anything else and he's slated for a minimum absence. He will resume everyday shortstop duties upon activation, pushing Isiah Kiner-Falefa back to third base.

  • Angel Martinez SS | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Martinez: Heads back to minors

    The Guardians optioned Martinez to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

    The Guardians gave Martinez a brief look while Gabriel Arias (personal) was away from the team over the weekend while on the family medical emergency list. Arias was activated ahead of Monday's series opener in Baltimore, so Martinez will go back to Triple-A to pick up more regular playing time. He's produced a .333/.438/.550 slash line at Columbus in 2024.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Getting Monday off

    Rocchio is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

    Rocchio will get a breather after he started at shortstop in each of the Guardians' last four games while going 3-for-12 with a double and a walk. Gabriel Arias (personal) was reinstated from the family medical emergency list Monday and will be thrust into the lineup immediately upon his return, replacing Rocchio at shortstop.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Likely bound for reserve role

    Moore is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    The versatile Moore should retain a regular spot in the Seattle lineup against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to play against righties should take a sizable hit with Jorge Polanco (hamstring) making his return from the injured list Monday. Moore had already seen his streak of nine consecutive starts come to an end in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins, when manager Scott Servais opted to move him to the bench against Miami right-hander Kyle Tyler.

  • Ryan Bliss SS | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Set to lose out with Polanco back

    Bliss is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    Bliss had started at the keystone in each of the Mariners' last four games, but his playing time will likely fall by the wayside with Seattle bringing back Jorge Polanco (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday. Polanco won't be eased back in as a designated hitter Monday and will take back his usual spot in the field at second base.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | NYY

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Rough start in leadoff role

    Schuemann hit leadoff in both of the Athletics' games against the Twins over the weekend after Abraham Toro's (hamstring) placement on the injured list, going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts.

    Schuemann, who went into Saturday's game having reached safely in four straight, may not be long for the top of the order given the results, although manager Mark Kotsay might exhibit some patience. Toro has put together a .240 average and .613 OPS as the leadoff hitter this season, so the standard he's set isn't extraordinarily high by any means. Nevertheless, there are several other candidates Kotsay could turn to for the role, so Schuemann, who's most frequently hit in the No. 7 and No. 9 spots this season, could soon shift back down the order.

  • Oneil Cruz SS | PIT

    Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Swipes sixth bag

    Cruz went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Sunday against the Rays.

    Cruz made plenty of highlights Saturday by blasting a home run into the Allegheny River, but he's slumped with only two hits across 19 at-bats during Pittsburgh's current homestand. He did manage to tally his sixth stolen base of the season Sunday, his first since returning from ankle soreness that caused him to miss games on June 14th and 15th.
