Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Knocks 10th homer
Sosa went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia.
Sosa knocked a two-run shot in the ninth inning of the 6-3 loss. He's up to 10 home runs through 91 games this season, including six over his last 26 games. Tuesday's long ball snapped an 11-game homerless drought. Sosa is now slashing .274/.299/.422 for the year and has gone 21-for-72 (.292) over his last 19 games.

Brice Matthews SS | HOU
Astros' Brice Matthews: Sitting out again Tuesday
Matthews is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nationals.
Matthews is just 1-for-15 with nine strikeouts over his previous five games and has now been out of the lineup three times across the Astros' last five contests. Shay Whitcomb is handling second base and batting eighth Tuesday.

Jackson Holliday SS | BAL
Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Idle for early game
Holliday is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Blue Jays.
The Orioles are going with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Blue Jays southpaw Easton Lucas in the first game of the day, so the lefty-hitting Holliday will begin the twin bill on the bench. Jordan Westburg will draw the start at second base in Game 1, but Holliday will likely occupy the keystone in the nightcap.

David Hamilton SS | MIL
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Has impact off bench
Hamilton entered as a pinch runner, stole two bases and scored a run in Monday's 5-4 loss to Minnesota.
Hamilton pinch ran for Abraham Toro in the top of the ninth and was responsible for giving the Red Sox the lead, but Jordan Hicks was unable to close out the Twins in the bottom of the frame. Hamilton, who was recently called up from Triple-A Worcester, is up to 17 steals over 64 games. He should remain up with the team for as long as it takes Marcelo Mayer (wrist) to heal.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Expected back when first eligible
Lowe (foot) is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against the Yankees, MLB.com reports.
Lowe ran in the outfield both Saturday and Sunday, and the tendinitis issue in his ankle and foot appears to have subsided enough for him to return from the IL on his first day of eligibility. Once he's officially reinstated, Lowe should take over as the Rays' primary second baseman, though he'll occasionally get held out of the lineup against left-handed pitching.

Braden Shewmake SS | NYY
Yankees' Braden Shewmake: Healthy again at Triple-A
Shewmake (undisclosed) has gone 1-for-9 with a walk in three games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.
Shewmake missed about a month of action due to the unspecified injury. The 27-year-old infielder possesses a spot on the Yankees' 40-man roster but has spent the entirety of the 2025 season at Triple-A, slashing .228/.317/.364 with four home runs and nine steals in 49 games for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Rangers' Marcus Semien: Reaches 10-steal mark
Semien went 0-for-5 with a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over Atlanta.
Semien reached base on a fielder's choice and stole second before coming around to score on Wyatt Langford's three-run double in the first inning. This was Semien's 10th steal of the campaign, and he's logged three of them over his last six games despite going 2-for-22 at the plate in that span. He continues to struggle with consistency, slashing .223/.303/.358 on the year while adding 13 home runs, 52 RBI, 51 runs scored, 11 doubles and one triple through 105 games.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Leads offense Sunday
Torres went 2-for-4 with a home run, an additional run scored and four RBI in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays.
Torres snapped a four-game hitless streak in a big way, delivering his 10th home run of the season and recording his first four-RBI game of the year. The infielder has been a steady presence for the Tigers, registering a .276/.378/.415 slash line through 94 contests, and he's third on the team with 54 runs scored. Torres remains in a fantasy-friendly spot batting second in Detroit's lineup, ahead of sluggers Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson as well as the newly reinstated Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) on Sunday.

Brice Matthews SS | HOU
Astros' Brice Matthews: Getting Sunday off
Matthews is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Matthews will hit the bench for the second time in the series while he's gone just 1-for-12 with seven strikeouts over his last four games. With Matthews out of the lineup, Jose Altuve will fill in at the keystone, while Cooper Hummel picks up a start in left field.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Idle for series finale
Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Schneemann will head to the bench along with Kyle Manzardo and Nolan Jones while the Royals send southpaw Noah Cameron to the bump. Brayan Rocchio will pick up another start at second base.
