Triolo went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Saturday's 9-7 loss to the Reds.

Triolo was involved in several rallies Saturday and tallied his second three-hit game of the season. He had been serving as Pittsburgh's primary shortstop while Konnor Griffin was on the shelf for nearly a month, but with Griffin returning to action Friday, Triolo is expected to shift back to a utility infield role and see a steady drop in playing time.

Betts went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 15-3 win over the Padres.

Betts has homered in three straight contests, giving him 11 long balls on the year. His blast Saturday capped a nine-run sixth inning for the Dodgers to put them in full control in this blowout win. Betts is now batting .230 with a .732 OPS, 25 RBI, 30 runs scored, one stolen base and seven doubles over 209 plate appearances on the year, but he has trended up by hitting .358 (19-for-53) with five homers over his last 13 games.

Wilson (shoulder) isn't starting against the Angels on Saturday, but he's available off the bench and could be back in the starting lineup Sunday, Michael Huntley of the Orange County Register reports.

Wilson is beginning on the bench for the third straight game while nursing a left shoulder issue. However, manager Mark Kotsay indicated before the contest that the 24-year-old infielder won't need an IL stint and could come off the bench Saturday. Alika Williams is starting at shortstop for a third consecutive contest, but it sounds like that run could end with Wilson's potential return Sunday.

Lindor went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk, two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.

Lindor tied things up with a two-run triple before scoring what proved to be the game-winning run in the sixth inning. In three games since returning from the injured list Wednesday, the 32-year-old has gone 2-for-12 and has yet to strike out. On the season, he's slashing .219/.305/.352 with seven extra-base hits, seven RBI, 15 runs scored and two steals across just 118 plate appearances.

Pena went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Tigers.

The shortstop continues to rake in June. Over 24 games this month, Pena is batting .326 (28-for-86) with five doubles, three homers, five steals, 13 RBI and 18 runs as he makes up for lost time after missing more than a month earlier in the season due to a hamstring strain.

Wilson (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Angels.

Wilson will miss his third straight game after being removed early from Wednesday's contest with a left shoulder injury. It's not clear if the Athletics are considering a stint on the injured list for the 24-year-old. Alika Williams will once again take over at shortstop and bat ninth Saturday.

Tovar isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Tovar will catch a breather after going 2-for-15 at the plate across his last four starts. Willi Castro will slide over to shortstop as a result, giving Kyle Karros a start at the hot corner.

Griffin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Griffin went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a hit-by-pitch during his first game back from the injured list Friday, but he'll take a seat Saturday while the Pirates look to manage his workload. Jared Triolo will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth.

Duran isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Duran will grab a seat on the bench after going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a steal during Friday's win. His absence will allow Nicky Lopez to pick up another start at second base.

Kim went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's win over the Giants.

Making his second straight start at shortstop while batting ninth in the order, Kim saw his hitless streak extend to 25 plate appearances -- his last base knock was a single back on June 3. His struggles, both at the plate and in the field, since returning from finger surgery in mid-May have cost him his starting job at shortstop and allowed Jorge Mateo to get consistent playing time, but Atlanta hasn't completely given up on Kim. If he doesn't turn things around soon, however, the team could have a tough decision to make about his future once Ronald Acuna (hamstring) returns from the IL in July and frees Mauricio Dubon up for regular shortstop duty again. Over 76 PAs in 2026, Kim is slashing a woeful .072/.158/.072 with a career-worst 26.3 percent strikeout rate.
