  • Jose Caballero SS | NYY

    Yankees' Jose Caballero: Homers in second straight game

    Caballero went 2-for-4 with a home run and two total RBI in Wednesday's 12-2 victory versus the White Sox.

    Caballero plated a run with a sacrifice fly in the third inning and capped the scoring in the contest with a solo blast to left field in the eighth. It was the second straight game with a long ball for Caballero, who has flexed his power more than ever this season -- through 60 contests, he's gone deep seven times, putting him near the career-high mark of nine home runs he clubbed across 139 regular-season games in 2024. Caballero has added 15 thefts and a .263/.315/.419 slash line this season, giving him plenty of fantasy value with eligibility at multiple positions.

  • Andres Gimenez SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Two XBH in win over Boston

    Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

    The shortstop went back-to-back with Davis Schneider in the fifth inning off Payton Tolle, propelling the Blue Jays to a 3-0 lead. Gimenez was held out of the starting nine Sunday against the Yankees due to a sore wrist, but Tuesday's performance suggests he's fully healthy. The long ball was his first since May 28, but through 13 games in June, Gimenez is slashing a respectable .282/.333/.436 with three doubles, a steal, three RBI and four runs.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Back in starting nine Wednesday

    Turner (wrist) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

    Though X-rays on Turner's right wrist returned negative after he was hit by a pitch in Monday's 7-0 win in the series opener, the Phillies elected to hold the 32-year-old out of the lineup Tuesday while he dealt with some painful bruising. The day off apparently provided sufficient time for Turner to recover, as he'll slot back into his usual spot in the field for the series finale. Even before hurting his wrist, Turner had been enduring a rough start to the season; he'll take a career-low .594 OPS -- down 218 points from 2025 -- into Wednesday's contest.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: On base four times Tuesday

    Witt went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Nationals.

    The star shortstop stayed ahead of Nasim Nunez in the other dugout to keep hold of the major-league steals lead with 27. Witt has three multi-hit effort in the last four games, and through 15 contests in June he's slashing .305/.414/.373 with four doubles, zero homers, three RBI, 10 runs and 10 stolen bases in 11 attempts.

  • Will Wilson SS | SEA

    Mariners' Will Wilson: Moves to 60-day IL

    The Mariners transferred Wilson (thumb) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

    Wilson has been on the shelf since May 2 due to a fractured left thumb, but he appeared to be closing in on a return after kicking off a rehab assignment earlier this month and going 6-for-16 with two doubles, three walks and a stolen base in five games between High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma. He hasn't played since Friday, however, and was pulled off his assignment with Tacoma after experiencing pain in his finger, per MLB.com. He's set to meet with a specialist in the coming days before a decision is made regarding whether he'll require season-ending surgery to address the injury. Even if Wilson avoids a procedure and is able to treat the injury with rest and rehab, he won't be eligible to return to action for the Mariners until June 29 after being shifted to the 60-day IL.

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Remains on schedule for return

    Walcott (elbow) will begin to ramp up his activity soon and is still on track for a late-July or early-August return to a minor-league affiliate, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Walcott, who has played catch at moderate distances and swung off a tee while rehabbing in Arizona, was brought to Arlington over the weekend for a change of environment. His rehab from an internal brace procedure on his right elbow has gone according to plan. "I feel pretty good, I feel physical," Walcott said. "I'm looking forward to being back soon. The rehab has been going really smoothly, so I'm happy with that." Walcott's career left off at Double-A Frisco, for whom he played 124 games in 2025, and he could rejoin the organization at Triple-A Round Rock when ready to return.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Bats second in order

    Rocchio was moved up to second in the order and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Brewers.

    Guardians manager Stephen Vogt was left scrambling over the weekend following several injuries, with Jose Ramirez's hand injury the most severe. Ramirez had settled in at the second spot in the batting order, but Vogt needs to find a replacement for the next 5-to-7 weeks. Rocchio, who's mostly batted ninth this season, got the first shot and deserved the opportunity. While his offense has slowed during the first half of June (.504 OPS), Rocchio outperformed expectations over the first two months of the season, posting a .293/.374/.415 slash line with four home runs, 27 RBI, nine steals and 26 runs across 58 games through the end of May. The configuration of the batting order could change when Chase DeLauter (ribs) and/or Angel Martinez (foot) are ready to return.

  • Gabriel Arias 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Returns to action

    Arias started at third base and went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Milwaukee.

    In Cleveland's first game without injured third baseman Jose Ramirez (hand), Arias got the call at the hot corner against a left-hander. It was his first appearance since being activated off the injured list Sunday. Ramirez's injury is expected to keep him sidelined between five and seven weeks, so there will be more opportunities for Arias. He could share third base with the left-handed-hitting Daniel Schneemann, while both have the ability to defend multiple positions around the diamond.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Homer, triple in win

    Neto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Neto entered Tuesday's game with no extra-base hits over his previous six contests. He changed that with a third-inning solo shot. The shortstop is batting just .223 on the season, but he's added a .761 OPS, 14 homers, 33 RBI, 50 runs scored, 14 doubles, two triples and 11 stolen bases through 71 contests. His blend of power and speed makes him a reliable source of counting stats in fantasy.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Gets aboard three times

    Crawford went 1-for-2 with two walks in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Orioles.

    Crawford missed the minimum time on the 10-day injured list due to a hand injury. Notably, he returned as the leadoff hitter and third baseman Tuesday, allowing Colt Emerson to stay at his natural shortstop position. That arrangement looks like it could stick, at least until Brendan Donovan (groin) returns, which isn't imminent. Crawford is batting .231 with a .773 OPS, 10 home runs, 23 RBI, 31 runs scored, five doubles and one stolen base over 56 contests. He hit .333 (14-for-42) over the 11 games immediately before his injury, so he'll be looking to sustain that momentum.
