  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Hits in eight of last nine games

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Astros.

    Lowe is in the midst of an impressive stretch at the plate, as he has at least one hit in eight of his last nine appearances. He's gone 12-for-33 with three home runs, seven RBI and seven runs scored in that span. Despite the hot stretch, Lowe still has a disappointing .159 ISO and .382 slugging percentage across 185 plate appearances on the season.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Blasts first homer

    Dubon went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Rays.

    Dubon started for only the seventh time across 19 games in May and managed his first home run of the season Wednesday. He's gone 8-for-23 on the month but is still losing out on playing time to Jose Altuve and Brendan Rodgers.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Steals first bag of 2025

    Massey went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a run scored and a stolen base during Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Giants.

    Massey corralled his second three-hit game of the season, smacking a trio of singles during the victory. He swiped second base following his first single, marking his first pilfer of the campaign. Since the start of May, Massey has gone 16-for-68 (.235) with five RBI and five runs scored.

  • Jorbit Vivas 2B | WAS

    Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Serving as primary third baseman

    Vivas will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Since Oswaldo Cabrera landed on the injured list May 13 with what's expected to be a season-ending ankle injury, Vivas has taken over the strong side of a platoon at third base with Oswald Peraza. The 24-year-old Vivas' grasp on a regular role may be tenuous, however, as he's maintained a weak .167/.265/.200 slash line over his first 34 big-league plate appearances. Though Cabrera is likely done for the season, Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is expected to return from the IL at some point in June, at which point Vivas and Peraza might become bench options, with DJ LeMahieu likely shifting to the hot corner.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Receiving afternoon off

    Torres is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Torres looks to be receiving a routine maintenance day after he had started in every game for Detroit since May 3. Colt Keith will step in at second base in place of Torres, who is slashing .295/.405/.459 with two home runs, 10 RBI and eight runs over 17 games on the month.

  • Payton Eeles 2B | BAL

    Twins' Payton Eeles: Begins rehab assisgnment

    Eeles (knee) is 4-for-12 with two walks in four games for Single-A Fort Meyers during a rehab assignment.

    Eeles began the season on the Triple-A injured list after undergoing offseason surgery to address a cartilage issue. It looks like he could be activated from the injured list and join Triple-A St. Paul soon.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Two steals in win

    Paris went 1-for-2 with two walks, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.

    Paris has started just two of the last six games, as he's struggled to maintain a large share of playing time while Matthew Lugo's been swinging a hot bat. Prior to Tuesday, Paris had gone 1-for-22 over his previous seven games dating back to May 8. The 23-year-old is slashing .198/.279/.397 with a 10:53 BB:K, seven steals, six home runs, 11 RBI and 19 runs scored over 40 contests this season. The poor plate discipline and overall lack of hitting are likely to keep Paris in a part-time role, particularly if Lugo continues to command a majority of the starts in center field.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Not close to playing 1B in games

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Campbell is not close to playing first base in games, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Campbell has been working out pregame at first base as the team mulls its options at first base in the wake of Triston Casas' season-ending knee injury. While it seems as though the rookie is under real consideration to play the position in the future, it doesn't sound like it will happen anytime soon. Campbell is starting in center field and batting fifth for the Red Sox on Tuesday against the Mets.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Back to running

    Gimenez (quadriceps) started up a running program Monday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    The 26-year-old resumed taking part in baseball activities last week and is now running for the first time since being placed on the injured list May 9 due to the quadriceps strain. Gimenez is expected to require a brief rehab assignment in the minors before rejoining the Blue Jays, so his activation is likely at least a week away.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Keith is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest in St. Louis.

    Keith has now been out of the lineup two times over the last three games, and all three have been against right-handed pitching. Riley Greene is at designated hitter and Spencer Torkelson is at first base for the Tigers.
