  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Pops solo homer against Milwaukee

    Adames went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and one walk in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Brewers.

    Adames was the only Giants hitter to experience success against Brewers lefty Kyle Harrison. In three trips to the plate against Harrison, Adames walked, singled and belted a solo blast. It was Adames' ninth homer of the season and his sixth in the last 14 games. After a miserable start to the 2026 campaign, Adames is hitting .326 with 13 extra-base hits, including six homers, 18 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .989 OPS over his last 22 games. For the season, Adames is slashing .245/.285/.436 with nine long balls, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored, one stolen base and a 13:70 BB:K across 256 trips to the plate.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Not starting Wednesday

    Walls (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Walls exited Monday's 10-9 loss due to left hamstring tightness, though he described his removal from the contest as precautionary and said he felt "100 percent" ready to play if needed, per MLB.com. The Rays have nonetheless opted to hold Walls out of the lineup for the final two games of the series, though he may be available off the bench Wednesday. Ben Williamson will receive another start at shortstop in place of Walls.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Begins rehab assignment

    Seager (back) started at shortstop and went 1-for-2 for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday.

    Seager played three innings before being removed. In addition to getting on base, he had a few opportunities in the field to begin his rehab assignment. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker described it as a "really good day" for Seager, per Joe Harris and Theo DeRosa of MLB.com. Seager has been on the 10-day injured list since May 18 with lower-back inflammation.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Notches two steals in win

    Rocchio went 1-for-2 with two steals, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Yankees. He was also hit by a pitch.

    Rocchio stole second and third base following his seventh-inning single and scored the Guardians' sixth run. The thefts give him 11 on the season, a new MLB benchmark for Rocchio, who was a prolific base stealer in the minors. He's had double-digit swipes every year since becoming a professional, including a career-high 25 in the 2023 regular season.

  • Jordan Lawlar LF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Could move rehab to Triple-A

    Lawlar (wrist) could move his rehab to Triple-A Reno by the end of the week, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

    Lawlar had a third rehab outing and second in as many days Tuesday for the ACL D-backs. The outfielder has gone 2-for-8 with a stolen base and two runs scored while playing center field, left field and designated hitter. Lawlar, who is eligible to return this week, has been out since April 3 with a broken right wrist. His return will create an outfield logjam, and Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) is also working his way back.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Smacks solo homer Tuesday

    Lopez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Miami's 7-3 win over Washington on Tuesday.

    The Marlins hit three consecutive home runs off Miles Mikolas in the fifth inning, capped off by Lopez's solo shot, which was his fifth long ball of the season and first since May 5 against the Orioles. Over his last seven games, Lopez has gone 10-for-28 (.357) with two steals, three RBI and two extra-base hits.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Shut down from activity

    The Tigers announced Tuesday that Sweeney (shoulder) is dealing with a rotator cuff issue and has been shut down from baseball activities to be evaluated further, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Sweeney has been on the shelf all season due to a shoulder strain he sustained at the start of spring training, and the rotator cuff issue will extend his absence. It's not clear how much longer the 25-year-old will be sidelined, but he seems unlikely to rejoin the Tigers anytime soon.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Taking seat Tuesday

    Montgomery is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    Montgomery started the previous 17 games and will receive a day off after going 15-for-66 (.227 average) with three doubles, four homers and a 31.5 percent strikeout rate during that span. Luisangel Acuna is picking up a start at shortstop Tuesday for the White Sox.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Sitting again Tuesday

    Neto (neck) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Neto will miss a second consecutive start after being scratched from Monday's lineup due to whiplash following his collision at the plate Saturday. Oswald Peraza will pick up another start at shortstop and bat seventh with Neto out.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Walls (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

    The shortstop was removed from Monday's game as a precautionary measure due to hamstring tightness, and he'll be held out of the starting nine for at least one game. Ben Williamson is stepping in at shortstop Tuesday in Walls' stead.
