  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Out again Wednesday

    Urias (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

    Urias hasn't played since exited Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks with lower-back spasms and is considered day-to-day. Max Schuemann will get another start at second base in Urias' stead.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Late addition to lineup

    Julien will start at first base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    The left-handed-hitting Julien had been slated to sit for the second day in a row against a right-handed starter (Jack Flaherty), but Julien will end up moving back into the starting nine after Trevor Larnach (shoulder) was scratched. Kody Clemens will head to the outfield to fill in for Larnach while Julien covers Clemens' usual post at first base.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Idle against southpaw

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Schneemann and fellow left-handed hitters Kyle Manzardo, Bo Naylor and Nolan Jones will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the hill for the finale. With Schneemann out of the lineup, Angel Martinez and C.J. Kayfus will pick up starts in the outfield alongside left fielder Steven Kwan.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Losing work to Keaschall

    Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Detroit.

    After getting recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Julien started at second base in four straight games and went 2-for-12 with a double and a walk during that stretch. However, with the Twins bringing Luke Keaschall back from the injured list Tuesday, the left-handed-hitting Julien appears to have since faded into a reserve role. Julien will cede second base to Keaschall for a second straight day to close out the series with the Tigers, who have sent right-handed starters to the hill for both of those contests.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Returns to Detroit lineup

    Torres (forearm) will start at second base and bat second in Wednesday's game versus the Twins.

    Torres was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 6-3 loss as he battled some tightness in his left forearm, but he's been cleared to play in Wednesday's series finale. The second baseman enters play Wednesday with two home runs in his first four games this month.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | TB

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Smacks two-run homer

    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Tuesday against the Angels.

    Lowe led off the scoring for the Rays in the fourth inning by smacking his 20th home run of the season. He has at least one hit in six of eight games since the All-Star break and now has seven home runs across his last 26 games. Lowe also has at least 20 long balls in three consecutive campaigns.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Goes yard Tuesday

    Sosa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.

    Sosa opened the scoring with his first-inning solo shot off Bryan Woo. The long ball extended Sosa's hitting streak to eight games, during which he has gone 13-for-28 (.464) with three homers and seven RBI. This hot stretch at the plate has helped solidify Sosa's place in the lineup, though he still doesn't have just one position. He's starting to settle in at first base while Miguel Vargas (oblique) is out. For the season, Sosa is batting .281 with a .747 OPS, 12 homers, 44 RBI, 36 runs scored and two stolen bases across 96 contests.

  • Kody Clemens 2B | MIN

    Twins' Kody Clemens: Doubles twice in win

    Clemens went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over Detroit.

    Clemens knocked an RBI double and scored a run during the Twins' three-run first inning. He later doubled again in the third and knocked a single in the eighth. Clemens was 7-for-35 (.200) with one extra-base hit over his past 10 games before Tuesday's three-hit performance. He's now slashing .232/.306/.490 with 24 extra-base hits and 33 RBI through 223 plate appearances.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Scratched from lineup

    The Tigers scratched Torres from Tuesday's lineup versus the Twins due to left forearm tightness.

    Torres was set to start at second base and bat second in the initial lineup prior to being scratched. The adjusted lineup has Zach McKinstry sliding over from shortstop to second while Javier Baez takes over at short.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Out with back issue

    Urias (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nationals.

    Urias had to exit Sunday's contest against the Diamondbacks with lower-back spasms and isn't ready to play even after his team was idle Monday. Max Schuemann will handle second base, and Gio Urshela will be at third base for the Athletics.
