  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: On base three times Sunday

    Arcia went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

    It's the first time all season the veteran shortstop has drawn multiple free passes in a game. Arcia's rough start to the year has continued into June, and through eight games this month he's batting just .207 (6-for-29), but three of those hits have gone for extra bases -- two doubles and a homer.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    White Sox's Paul DeJong: Keeps mashing

    DeJong went 2-for-3 with a double and a three-run home run during Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox in 10 innings.

    DeJong has been on a tear across the White Sox's last three series, launching five homers in nine games, and Sunday's multi-hit performance was his fourth during that stretch. The veteran shortstop is amidst a bit of a career revival during his first season in Chicago, slashing .238/.287/.482 -- each mark of which would be his best since 2020.

  • David Hamilton 3B | MIL

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Homers, swipes another bag

    Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run during Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

    Hamilton clubbed his third home run of the season Sunday, taking Chris Flexen yard in the fifth inning. He also scored the game-tying run in the ninth, reaching on a double off Tanner Banks and stealing third base before scoring on a sac fly by Reese McGuire. Hamilton finished the four-game series against the White Sox having gone 6-for-17 (.353) with four stolen bases, two doubles, a homer and three runs scored.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Reaches base four times

    Correa went 3-for-5 with a walk, two runs scored and two RBI in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Pirates.

    Correa plated two on a 10th-inning single, scoring later in the frame to cap off a seven-run inning for the Twins. The 29-year-old notched his third multi-hit effort over his past four games, reaching base four times in Sunday's win. Correa owns a solid .265/.335/.441 slash line, but he has provided limited power with just five home runs and 26 RBI in 47 games played.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Closing in on return

    Turner (hamstring) said Sunday he's "getting close" to returning from the 10-day injured list, and it's possible he's activated within the next week, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Manager Rob Thomson indicated the shortstop is running at about 75-to-80 percent of full speed, which makes a return this week seem less likely. Turner isn't expected to embark on a rehab assignment before being reinstated, however, which shortens his potential return timeline. The 30-year-old will attempt to get back to running full speed this week in Boston, which could be one of the final hurdles before he's cleared for game action.

  • Max Schuemann LF | NYY

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Records fourth steal in loss

    Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.

    The Athletics fell victim to Kevin Gausman's first career shutout and went down on strikes 10 times against the veteran right-hander, so Schuemann's performance is one that passes for a successful one in that context. The rookie now has singles in back-to-back games and is enjoying a solid June thus far, producing a .348 average and .766 OPS across his first 24 plate appearances of the month (seven games).

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Still out of lineup

    Seager (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Giants.

    Seager will miss his third straight game Sunday due to a left hamstring strain he sustained Wednesday against the Tigers. The Rangers have an off day Monday, so the 30-year-old will have four days off before the upcoming road series against the Dodgers starting Tuesday. Josh Smith will once again start at shortstop Sunday, while Ezequiel Duran serves at the hot corner against Giants right-hander Keaton Winn.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Stays hot Saturday

    Swanson went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Reds.

    It's a small sample, but over his last five games, Swanson has gone 7-for-19 with four extra-base hits, including a home run in Friday's contest. On the season, the shortstop is batting just .220 with a .658 OPS, though if he continues his recent level of play, his overall stats will start to look better. Swanson will see ample playing time moving forward as long as he's healthy, so he should remain locked into fantasy lineups as he heats up.

  • Romy Gonzalez DH | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Rehab assignment on tap

    Gonzalez (hamstring) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

    Boston's unsettled second base position offers a path to regular playing time for Gonzalez once he's activated. The right-handed hitter should be part of a rotation along with Enmanuel Valdez while Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) remains on the injured list. Even when Grissom returns, Gonzalez could still figure into the mix.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Not starting Sunday

    Baez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Brewers.

    Baez will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after starting in each of the first two games of the series, going 1-for-7 with two strikeouts. The lefty-hitting Zach McKinstry will start at shortstop and bat seventh against Milwaukee right-hander Bryse Wilson.
