  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Getting afternoon off

    Gonzales is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Gonzales will get his first day off since June 12, opening up the keystone for Adam Frazier. While starting the prior 14 games, Gonzales batted .333 with two home runs, seven RBI and six runs.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Not in Sunday's lineup

    LeMahieu is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    LeMahieu started the previous three games and will receive Sunday off after going 3-for-10 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored. Oswald Peraza will take over at the keystone Sunday for the Yankees.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Belts key homer Saturday

    Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-4 victory versus the Reds.

    Cronenworth helped spur a Padres comeback with a two-run blast in the sixth frame. It was his second long ball in his past four contests following a 26-game stretch during which he went deep just once. Cronenworth has been pretty quiet with seven home runs, 24 RBI and two thefts through 57 contests, though he's posting a career-best 14.6 percent walk rate.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Idle versus lefty

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    With southpaw Matthew Liberatore on the bump for the Cardinals, Schneemann will join fellow left-handed hitters Bo Naylor, Kyle Manzardo and Nolan Jones on the bench. Angel Martinez will replace Schneemann as the Guardians' starting second baseman.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: On bench again Sunday

    Hamilton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Hamilton has now hit the bench in four of the Red Sox's last five matchups, with Boston facing three lefties and two righties during that stretch. The Red Sox have continued to rotate a number of players at second base, as Romy Gonzalez, Marcelo Mayer (personal) and Nick Sogard have also seen starts at the position within the past week. Mayer could end up settling in as the primary option at the keystone when Alex Bregman (quadriceps) returns from the injured list and steps back in as the Red Sox's everyday third baseman.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Goes deep again in easy win

    Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Astros.

    Hoerner made his lone hit count, as he recorded his second home run in as many days and third in the last five games. Those three long balls account for all of Hoerner's home runs this season, so the power surge certainly came out of nowhere. The speedy infielder is also riding a seven-game hitting streak, and he's now batting .294 this year with 15 stolen bases through 79 games. Hoerner's speed and high batting average remain his most bankable fantasy assets, despite the recent uptick in pop.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Goes deep again Saturday

    Torres went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Twins.

    Torres hit his second home run in the last three days, giving him four long balls this month and nine total for the season. The infielder's power surge is notable, as his four June home runs have come across 25 games, while he had five long balls in his previous 46 contests. At this rate, last year's mark of 15 home runs with the Yankees is well within reach, and Torres could reach the 20-homer plateau for the fifth time in his career if he stays dialed in.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Delivers key blow in win

    Semien went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Seattle.

    Semien's bases-loaded single in the 10th inning gave the Rangers a walk-off win. It was the third consecutive game with an RBI for Semien, who is slashing .312/.365/.527 with 14 RBI during 24 games in June.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Engaging in baseball activity

    Bazzana (oblique) began baseball activities last week at the Guardians' spring training complex in Arizona, MLB.com reports.

    The first overall pick in 2024 is still "a few weeks away" from game action, per Guardians team president Chris Antonetti. At the time of his injury and placement on the 7-day injured list May 21, the club estimated an 8-to-10 week timeline for Bazzana's return.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Picks up pair of doubles

    Turang went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Rockies.

    The second baseman delivered a standout performance in Saturday's win, driving in the game's first run with an RBI single in the first inning and later tacking on an RBI double in the fifth inning -- both off Antonio Senzatela. Turang is putting together a strong third MLB season, highlighted by a scorching 15-game stretch during which he's slashing .400/.413/.533 with six extra-base hits and 10 RBI.
