  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Goes deep in rare start

    Moore went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-0 win over the Pirates.

    The Mariners gave the lefty-hitting Dominic Canzone the day off versus southpaw Bailey Falter, enabling Moore to draw a rare start in right field and belt his first homer since May 22. Moore had briefly handled nearly an everyday role when Ryan Bliss (triceps) and Victor Robles (shoulder) went down earlier this year, but he's fallen into a utility role off the bench since Canzone and Cole Young joined the big-league club. Moore has taken just 39 at-bats over his last 25 games, going 2-for-39 with one steal during that span.

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Making move to hot corner

    Edman will begin playing third base against right-handed pitchers next week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Edman has been logging time at second base and in center field this season, but the Dodgers are in need to a fill-in at the hot corner for at least the next six weeks while Max Muncy (knee) is out of action. Edman does have some experience at third, but his last time seeing action there during a regular-season contest was in 2022 when he was with St. Louis. Plunkett notes that Edman has been getting in reps at third base during practice and that Hyeseong Kim will move to second base on days when Los Angeles faces right-handed starters, while Miguel Rojas and Enrique Hernandez are expected to split work at the hot corner versus southpaws. From a fantasy perspective, Edman could gain eligibility at third base if he ends up being the Dodgers' primary option there against righties for as long as Muncy is out.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Injures ankle again

    Gimenez was removed from Friday's game against the Angels due to an ankle injury, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Gimenez tweaked his ankle while running from first to third base in the sixth inning. The 26-year-old's ankle has been problematic recently, as he sat out Thursday's game after twisting it Wednesday. Now dealing with his second ankle injury in three days, Gimenez could end up spending time on the injured list so he can heal properly.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Lands on injured list

    The Athletics placed Urias on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain, retroactive to Thursday.

    Urias' hamstring forced him to make an early exit from Wednesday's game, and he'll spend at least 10 days on the injured list now that he's been officially diagnosed with a strain. Zack Gelof (ribs) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move, which means Urias likely won't benefit from regular playing time once he's healthy.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Activated from IL

    The Athletics reinstated Gelof (ribs) from the injured list Friday.

    Gelof landed on the injured list at the start of the season due to a hamate fracture, but he suffered a stress reaction in his ribs while on assignment in May, extending his time on the shelf. Now completely healthy, he'll rejoin the active roster and take over as the Athletics' primary second baseman. Luis Urias (hamstring) was placed on the IL in a corresponding move. Gelof is batting eighth in his season debut against San Francisco on Friday.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Beginning rehab stint in ACL

    The Guardians have assigned Bazzana (oblique) to the Arizona Complex League to begin a rehab assignment, per SI.com.

    Bazzana suffered a right oblique strain in mid-May and hasn't played since then. He resumed baseball activities in late June and has now been deemed able to return to game action. Bazzana will presumably head back to Double-A Akron -- with whom he posted a .795 OPS across 33 games before getting hurt -- when he's completed the rehab assignment.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Returning to action Friday

    Gimenez (ankle) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Gimenez seems to have already turned the page after an ankle issue forced him from Wednesday's game and kept him on the bench for Thursday's series finale against the Yankees. He will slot in atop the batting order, with Bo Bichette batting third against right-hander Kyle Hendricks in the absence of Vladimir Guerrero (foot).

  • Tim Tawa 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Starts at first base

    Tawa started at first base and went 0-for-3 in a 7-2 loss to the Giants.

    Tawa filled in for Josh Naylor, who was held out against San Francisco lefty Robbie Ray. Naylor, who recently experienced neck stiffness, had just returned to the starting lineup Wednesday as the designated hitter, and the decision to sit him Thursday does not appear to be injury related. Tawa has gone hitless over his last 24 at-bats while striking 10 times (41.7 percent strikeout rate).

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Reaches three times in loss

    Torres went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 11-7 loss to the Nationals.

    Torres has been locked in lately, going 12-for-40 (.300) over his last 10 games with two home runs, six RBI and 10 runs scored. That strong play has earned the second baseman a starting nod in the All-Star Game in his first season with the Tigers, and he's poised for a productive second half batting ahead of powerful hitters such as Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Back at keystone

    Schneemann started at second base Thursday against the Cubs and went 1-for-4 with a strikeout.

    The 28-year-old came off the bench to fill in at shortstop for Gabriel Arias (ankle) on Sunday, but Brayan Rocchio has stepped in as Cleveland's shortstop with Arias now on the injured list. Schneemann has seen most of his action at second base this season but also has multiple starts at shortstop, third base and all three outfield spots. He finished May with a .779 OPS but is batting just .188 (12-for-64) with four extra-base hits since the start of June.
