Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Belts another homer Wednesday
Henderson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 4-2 win against Cleveland on Wednesday.
Henderson knocked in Baltimore's first two runs with a single in the second inning and a solo shot to center field in the fifth. The talented young shortstop has gone deep eight times over 24 games in June, including four times across his past six contests. Henderson ranks second in the majors with 26 homers through 79 games on the campaign and needs just two more long balls to match the 28 home runs he belted over 150 contests last year.

Braves' Orlando Arcia: Sitting Game 2
Arcia (head) is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
The 29-year-old exited Monday's contest due to dizziness and won't start the night game of Wednesday's twin bill. Luke Williams will start at shortstop in place of Arcia for the nightcap.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Drives in two, steals base
Crawford went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a walk, and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-2 win against Tampa Bay.
Crawford had an all-around showing Wednesday, reaching base three times and picking up his third stolen base of the season. The three steals are already more than he had all of last season. The 29-year-old extended his hitting streak to a season-best seven games. Since his return from the IL, he's started every game at the leadoff spot and is trending upward despite the .217/.315/.371 slash line.

Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Big game in return from IL
Wilson (knee) was reinstated from Triple-A Las Vegas' 7-day injured list and went 2-for-3 with two walks and three runs while starting at shortstop in Tuesday's 11-0 win over Sacramento.
Wilson made his first appearance for Las Vegas since May 14 after a six-week absence due to knee tendinitis. Prior to rejoining Las Vegas, Wilson went 8-for-14 at the dish over five rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Reaches double-digit steals
Neto went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-5 win against Oakland.
Neto was also hit by a pitch in the fourth inning, and he came around to score when the next batter (Mickey Moniak) belted a grand slam. Neto's eighth-inning theft was his 10th of the campaign through 76 contests; as a rookie last year, he stole a modest five bases in 84 games. The shortstop also has 10 homers this season, making him one of 14 big-leaguers to have reached double-digit home runs and stolen bases so far in 2024.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Taking seat in series finale
Seager is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Seager will get a breather for the day game after a night game, opening up shortstop for Josh Smith as the Rangers close out their series in Milwaukee. While starting in each of Texas' last 11 games, Seager went 7-for-42 (.167 average) with no home runs and one stolen base.

Orlando Arcia SS | MIN
Braves' Orlando Arcia: Out for Game 1 of twin bill
Arcia (head) is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.
Before Tuesday's game was rained out, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker disclosed that Arcia still wasn't feeling well after exiting Monday's 4-3 loss due to dizziness. Snitker didn't entirely rule Arcia out for both games of the twin bill, but it wouldn't be surprising if Atlanta opted to give the veteran shortstop the full day off to recover. Zack Short will cover shortstop in Arcia's stead in the first game of the day.

Otto Lopez SS | MIA
Marlins' Otto Lopez: Swipes bag Tuesday
Lopez went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Royals.
The 25-year-old infielder ripped a one-out double in the seventh inning and came around to score the Marlins' first run of the night in a 2-1 victory. Lopez has slowed down at the plate in June, slashing .203/.224/.250 with three doubles, two steals, four RBI and five runs in 18 games, but he continues to hold down the starting job at second base.
