Peraza went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Astros.

Peraza tried his best to manufacture a run after his seventh-inning single, but he was left stranded. He's maintained decent stats at the plate in June, going 8-for-36 (.222) with two extra-base hits, six RBI and three steals over nine contests this month. On the season, he's been a bit better, hitting .267 with a .755 OPS, seven home runs, nine steals, 21 RBI, 19 runs scored, eight doubles and two triples across 63 games.

Torres went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

Torres has been heating up lately with three three-hit performances across his last six games, and he's batting a robust .417 during the stretch. Overall, the veteran infielder now has a .283/.398/.379 slash line in 39 contests, and after missing about a month due to an oblique strain, he once again looks like a reliable fantasy contributor near the top of Detroit's lineup.

Massey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro will send Massey and fellow left-handed hitter Carter Jensen to the bench Wednesday while southpaw MacKenzie Gore takes the hill for the Rangers. With Massey sitting, Nick Loftin will pick up a start at second base and will bat eighth.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a walk, a triple, two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Guardians.

The 28-year-old infielder ripped a two-run triple in the second inning, kicking off a big day for the Yankees' offense despite zero home runs for the team. The three-bagger was Chisholm's 10th extra-base hit in his last 21 games (three doubles, two triples and five homers), a stretch in which he's batting .288 (23-for-80) with six steals, 15 RBI and 17 runs.

The Mariners optioned Bliss to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Bliss was just recalled Monday and started at second base the last two days. However, with Miles Mastrobuoni (calf) back from the injured list to reclaim his utility role, Bliss will head back to the minors.

McKinstry will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.

After earning a Silver Slugger Award as a utility player in 2025, McKinstry has noticed a big drop in production to begin the current season but has begun to show signs of life at the plate since the calendar flipped to June. Through his first five games on the month, McKinstry has gone 5-for-15 with a triple, four walks and four runs. He'll be rewarded with a third consecutive start and appears to have at least temporarily moved ahead of Matt Vierling and Wenceel Perez in the pecking order for one of two spots at the bottom of the Detroit lineup.

Mayer is absent from Wednesday's lineup versus the Rays due to back and neck stiffness, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy is hopeful that Mayer will be available to pinch hit. However, with a team off day looming Thursday, the club could elect to stay away from Mayer on Wednesday with the goal of having him return to the lineup Friday, when the Red Sox begin a three-game set against the Rangers.

Mayer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest at Tampa Bay.

The left-handed-hitting Mayer will get a rare day off versus a right-handed starting pitcher, as the Rays are sending Drew Rasmussen to the bump. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will handle shortstop for the Red Sox, leaving Andruw Monasterio to cover second base.

Williamson will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Williamson suffered an injury scare back on May 29, when he was hit on the left hand by a pitch and needed to be removed from a game against the Angels. After X-rays returned negative, Williamson was back in the lineup a day later, and he's now drawn eight starts out of the middle infield in the Rays' last 12 games. Four of those starts have come against left-handed pitchers, and two of the starts against righties came while Taylor Walls was out of the lineup due to a hamstring injury, so the Rays may still be viewing Williamson largely as a short-side platoon player.

Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Cleveland.

Chisholm provided the biggest swing of the game in the eighth inning, breaking a tie with a solo homer that ultimately stood as the game-winning run. While the infielder has continued to provide power, the overall production has been inconsistent of late. He has homered four times over his last 10 games but has managed just seven total hits during that span. On the season, Chisholm is batting .231 with a .709 OPS across 257 plate appearances.
