  • Giants' Christian Koss: Multi-hit effort in loss

    Koss went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored, a stolen base and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the White Sox.

    The 27-year-old made his sixth straight start Sunday, including his fourth straight at third base due to Casey Schmitt (wrist) being sidelined. Koss drew a walk in the second inning and subsequently stole second before coming around to score the Giants' first run. He also lined a double to left field in the fourth and added a single in the eighth. The infielder has recorded two hits in each of his last four games, slashing .533/.563/.667 with three runs scored, two doubles and a stolen base across 16 plate appearances during that span.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Smacks seventh homer

    Gorman went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, a stolen base and a second run scored in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Guardians.

    Gorman got the scoring started early, launching a 428-foot homer with two outs in the first inning off lefty Logan Allen. The 25-year-old Gorman has taken advantage of a regular starting role since Ivan Herrera (hamstring) landed on the IL, going 8-for-27 (.296) with three homers, seven RBI and a .951 OPS in his last seven games. Overall, Gorman's slashing .224/.314/.412 with seven homers, 25 runs scored and 25 RBI across 191 plate appearances this season.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Steps in at shortstop

    Schneemann replaced Gabriel Arias (ankle) at shortstop in Sunday's 7-0 loss to the Cardinals. Schneemann went 0-for-2 with a walk.

    Arias was removed from the game in the third inning with what looks like a significant ankle injury. Schneemann is the most logical replacement among the players on the active roster, but the Guardians could reach down to Triple-A Columbus for Brayan Rocchio.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | TB

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Homers to extend hitting streak

    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Orioles.

    Lowe accounted for the Rays' only run of Sunday's game with a leadoff home run in the ninth inning. The long ball extended his hitting streak to 16 games, during which he's gone deep five times while tallying 13 RBI and 16 runs scored.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Homers again Sunday

    Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.

    Marte is up to 17 homers on the year, including five over his last nine games. Despite going hitless three times, Marte is 14-for-37 (.378) in that span as he continues to provide excellent hitting from the No. 2 spot in the order. The second baseman has a .305/.405/.600 slash line with 37 RBI, 48 runs scored, two stolen bases and 11 doubles over 57 contests this season.

  • Adrian Pinto 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Adrian Pinto: Shut down at High-A

    High-A Vancouver placed Pinto on its 7-day injured list May 16 due to an unspecified injury.

    The 22-year-old second baseman had been raking for Vancouver prior to being shelved with the injury, slashing .284/.376/.608 with seven home runs and three stolen bases in just 85 plate appearances. Listed at 5-foot-6 and 156 pounds, Pinto generates a surprising amount of power, but durability is starting to become a concern for him; he's now spent multiple months on the IL for four consecutive seasons.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Three base knocks and steal in win

    Estrada went 3-for-5 with a steal and one RBI in Sunday's 4-3 extra-innings win at Milwaukee.

    The Colorado second baseman notched his second three-hit performance of the weekend when he laced a clutch RBI single in the 10th to give his team a 3-2 lead. After collecting the hit, Estrada picked up his first steal of the season when he swiped second off Brewers closer Trevor Megill. Estrada is now slashing .292/.323/.393 with a homer, 13 RBI and six runs scored across 96 total plate appearances.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Injures finger in win

    Rojas was removed in the eighth inning of Sunday's 5-1 win over the Royals due to an injury to his left ring finger, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Rojas appeared to jam his finger during an unsuccessful steal attempt of second base in the seventh inning. He initially stayed in the game but was eventually lifted for Hyeseong Kim. The Dodgers should provide an update on Rojas' injury once he undergoes further tests. He went 2-for-2 with a walk and an RBI single before leaving Sunday's game.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Homers, drives in four

    Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, four total RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 12-5 win over the A's.

    Chisholm opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo shot off Luis Severino before extending New York's lead to 4-0 in the third with a bases-clearing triple. The 27-year-old Chisholm is up to 13 homers this year, with three coming in his last four games. He's slashing .242/.336/.495 with 35 RBI, 31 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 220 plate appearances this season.

  • Giants' Christian Koss: Getting sixth straight start

    Koss will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Koss will pick up his sixth straight start, including his fourth in a row at third base with Casey Schmitt (wrist) still not ready to return to the lineup. Schmitt is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday and could still land on the injured list, which would allow Koss to retain a regular spot in the starting nine. If Schmitt is back in action in the coming days, however, Koss would vie with Brett Wisely for playing time at second base.
