Dylan Moore 1B | PHI
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Swipes bag in Sunday's win
Moore went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a steal in Sunday's win over the Athletics.
Moore led things off with a base hit and stole second before eventually coming around to score on a Mitch Garver single to give the Mariners a quick lead. He later drove in a run on a sacrifice fly. It was just his third stolen base since April 24, though he's on pace for double-digit steals again after only managing seven in 67 games last season. Moore continues to see regular at-bats with J.P. Crawford (oblique) still working his way back and even works out of the leadoff spot against lefties like he did Sunday. For the year, the 31-year-old is slashing .222/.321/.411 with three homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs and an 11:28 BB:K in 106 plate appearances.

Brandon Crawford SS | STL
Cardinals' Brandon Crawford: Playing time sparse
Crawford is slashing .107/.194/.107 over 10 games with the Cardinals this season.
Crawford was signed to serve as backup to rookie Masyn Winn, who has been one of the Cardinals' better hitters. As such, Crawford has seen minimal playing time. All three of his hits this season have been singles, and he's also posted a 3:11 BB:K. The veteran shortstop is unlikely to see a larger role unless Winn suffers an injury or enters a severe slump.

Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU
Athletics' Aledmys Diaz: Plays first two rehab games
Diaz (calf) went 0-for-3 with two walks over his first two rehab games with Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday and Sunday.
Diaz has yet to play a full game, but he did take a trio of plate appearances as the designated hitter when kicking off the rehab assignment Friday. He then progressed to playing defense Sunday, logging five innings at third base in the win over Round Rock. Diaz will probably continue to be given a day off between games for the time being given his age and the length of time it's taken for him to be able to return to game action.

Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL
Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Homers early in win
Tovar went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
The Rockies got to Jose Urena early in the first inning, and Tovar's blast was ultimately all they needed in the win. The shortstop has hit safely in six straight games, going 8-for-26 (.308) with four extra-base hits in that span. For the season, he's at a .266/.308/.411 with four homers, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored, three stolen bases, nine doubles and a triple over 39 contests.

Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL
Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Dealing with wrist injury
Kim was hit by a pitch on his left wrist in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Kim took a 94 mph fastball from Walker Buehler off his left wrist in the bottom of the fourth inning, ultimately exiting the contest the following frame. The infielder underwent X-rays on his arm following the contest that came back negative, according to manager Mike Shildt, which bodes well for Kim moving forward. The 28-year-old can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of San Diego's three-game series with the Rockies at home beginning Monday.

Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Resting Sunday
Winn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Winn will head to the bench after he went 4-for-11 with a stolen base while starting in each of the first three games of the series. Brandon Crawford will fill in for Winn at shortstop in the series finale.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
Marlins' Tim Anderson: Out again Sunday
Anderson (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
He'll be on the bench for a second straight game and remains day-to-day with lower-back tightness. Vidal Brujan will move over from second base to replace Anderson at shortstop.

Jose Caballero SS | NYY
Rays' Jose Caballero: Not starting Sunday
Caballero is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Caballero struck out all four times he was at the plate in Saturday's 7-2 win and will get a day off to clear his head. Amed Rosario will serve as the Rays' starting shortstop Sunday and will bat sixth against Yankees right-hander Luis Gil.

Tristan Gray SS | MIN
Marlins' Tristan Gray: Called up from Triple-A
The Marlins selected Gray's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
Gray slashed .227/.301/.523 with 10 home runs and 23 RBI over 143 plate appearances prior to getting his first big-league call-up of 2024. He made his MLB debut with the Rays in 2023, going 2-for-5 with a solo home run over two games. He's played all four infield spots in the minors this season for Jacksonville and will likely serve as a utility player for Miami while he's with the big club.

Anthony Volpe SS | NYY
Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Collects three hits Saturday
Volpe went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in a loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Volpe was the only Yankee to stand out offensively in the loss -- he was responsible for three of the team's five hits, plated both of the club's runs on a second-inning single and added a stolen base to boot. The young shortstop has reached base safely via hit or walk in nine straight contests, slashing .286/.375/.486 with two homers, seven RBI, seven runs and a 5:11 BB:K over that span. After swiping 24 bags as a rookie last year, Volpe is on pace to exceed that mark with eight steals in nine attempts so far in 2024.
