  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Day off versus lefty

    Chisholm is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

    The left-handed-hitting Chisholm will get a breather as the Orioles send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the hill. Jose Caballero will get the start at second base and bat ninth for the Yankees.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Records second steal

    Massey went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Angels.

    Massey hadn't been in the lineup since Saturday, with two of his three games out of the lineup coming against left-handed pitchers. The lefty-hitting second baseman has two multi-hit efforts over his last three games but looks set to end the year in a timeshare as the Royals also try to keep Adam Frazier and Jonathan India involved at the keystone. Massey has posted an uninspiring .233/.258/.300 slash line with three home runs, two steals, 19 RBI and 17 runs scored over 268 plate appearances this season.

  • Leonardo Rivas 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Scratched from Thursday's lineup

    Rivas was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Rockies for an undisclosed reason.

    Rivas was originally slated to start at second base while hitting ninth. It's unclear why he was removed from the lineup, but Jorge Polanco will take over at second base with Mitch Garver entering the lineup to serve as the catcher.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Logs two RBI in win

    Altuve went 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored during the Astros' 11-5 win over the Athletics on Thursday.

    Altuve was one of four Astros players to record two RBI or more in Thursday's series finale. He has tallied at least two hits in three of his last five games, going 7-for-17 (.412) with one steal and three RBI over that span.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Exiting starting nine

    Sosa is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Yankees.

    It appears to be a routine day off for Sosa, who had started each of the last four contests. Miguel Vargas will play first base and Curtis Mead will be at third base for the White Sox in the series finale.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Undergoes MRI on injured knee

    Holliday underwent an MRI on his injured knee Thursday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Holliday is missing a second straight start Thursday and will get imaging to make sure there's nothing structurally wrong with his knee. Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino appeared optimistic Holliday will be OK, noting that he's hopeful the 21-year-old will be back in the lineup Friday versus the Yankees, but more will be known after the test results are in.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Remains out of lineup

    Holliday (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

    Holliday will miss a second straight start due to knee soreness. He's considered day-to-day, but even a minor injury at this point of the season could be a season-ender. Jorge Mateo will start at second base and bat ninth for the Orioles on Thursday.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | TB

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Day off Thursday

    Lowe is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Baltimore.

    The left-handed-hitting Lowe plays against most lefties, but he'll take a seat in this one as the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the bump. Richie Palacios will cover second base for the Rays.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Lands on IL with sprained thumb

    The Twins placed Keaschall on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left thumb sprain.

    Keaschall suffered the season-ending injury during Tuesday's game against the Rangers while stealing second base. He'll visit with a specialist next week to determine whether surgery is necessary. Even if a procedure is required, Keaschall should be fine by the time spring training rolls around. The rookie finishes his promising first season with a .302/.382/.445 batting line, four home runs and 14 steals over 207 plate appearances.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Out for rest of 2025

    Keaschall was diagnosed with a sprained left thumb and will be out for the rest of the 2025 season, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

    Keaschall suffered the injury while stealing second base in the second inning of Tuesday's game against the Rangers. He'll see a specialist next week to evaluate the severity of the sprain, but Martin relays that surgery is on the table. Keaschall burst onto the scene following his major-league debut April 18 but was out of action for just over three months due to a fractured right forearm. He'll end the 2025 season with a .302/.382/.445 slash line, 14 steals, 25 runs, 14 doubles, four home runs and 28 RBI over 207 plate appearances.
