    Guardians' Amed Rosario: Raps out three hits

    Rosario went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 12-9 extra-innings win over the White Sox.

    All three of Rosario's hits were singles. This was his first multi-hit game since April 22, which is an encouraging sign for the 26-year-old as he looks to maintain an everyday role in the lineup. The strong play of Andres Gimenez lately has forced Rosario into left field, where he'll likely compete with Oscar Mercado and Steven Kwan for two places on manager Terry Francona's lineup card. Rosario owns a .220/.278/.260 slash line with seven RBI, 12 runs scored, two doubles and a stolen base through 108 plate appearances. He's yet to hit a home run after going yard 11 times last year.

  • Andres Gimenez SS | TOR

    Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Key part of comeback

    Gimenez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Monday's 12-9 extra-innings win over the White Sox.

    Gimenez sparked the Guardians' six-run ninth inning with a solo shot. In the 10th, he knocked in Ernie Clement with a double, though Emmanuel Clase failed to protect the one-run lead. With multiple hits in four of his last six games, Gimenez continues to impress with the bat. The speedy infielder has a .351/.363/.571 slash line with three homers, 17 RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases through 80 plate appearances.

  • Reds' Brandon Drury: Two hits with three-run homer

    Drury went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's win over the Brewers.

    Drury singled in the third inning before launching a three-run homer off Brandon Woodruff in the bottom of the fifth frame. The 29-year-old notched multiple hits for the third time in four games and extended his hit streak to six games Monday. Over that six game stretch, Drury has produced 10 hits including two long balls while collecting 10 RBI and scoring seven runs over 25 at-bats. After signing with the Reds in the offseason, he's batting .284 with six homers and 18 RBI over 24 games this season.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Mariners' Adam Frazier: Sits against southpaw

    Frazier will sit against lefty Ranger Suarez and the Phillies on Monday.

    Frazier has effectively an everyday role this season, but when he does sit, it's come against a southpaw. He's started against every righty the Mariners have faced this season while starting against five out of eight lefties. Abraham Toro will get the start at second base.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Swats walkoff homer Sunday

    Torres went 2-for-4 with a walkoff solo home run in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against Texas.

    The contest was a pitchers' duel throughout, and the score was knotted 1-1 heading into the bottom of the ninth. Torres took matters into his own hands with a blast to the short porch in right field leading off the frame from the Yankees. The infielder went 0-for-3 with a walk in the nightcap and is slashing .228/.267/.443 overall this season. Three of Torres' four home runs this season have come in his last eight games.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Three-game multi-hit streak ends

    Semien went 2-for-8 with a pair of base hits while picking up starts in both ends of Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees.

    Semien provided both of his singles in the Rangers' 2-1 loss in Game 1, marking the third straight contest in which he provided exactly two hits. He came up empty at the dish in Texas' 4-2 win in Game 2, however, and enters Monday's series finale with a .184/.252/.243 slash line on the season. Despite his underwhelming production in his first season in Texas, Semien will sit atop the lineup Monday against Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Climbs above .200

    Marte went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 win over Colorado.

    Marte extended his hitting streak to eight games and climbed above .200 for the first time in three weeks. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic that Marte has gotten "a little bit of his swagger back" at the plate. "He's not there quite yet. But he's checking off the pitches he's supposed to. He's starting to impact the ball at certain times in certain situations," the manager added. The second baseman is 11-for-28 (.393) with five walks, seven extra-base hits and seven runs scored during the eight-game run.

  • Owen Miller 2B | CHC

    Guardians' Owen Miller: Ties game with homer

    Miller went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Miller had two game-tying plays Sunday. His third-inning sacrifice fly tied the game at 2-2, and he added a solo shot in the eighth to knot the score at 3-3. The 25-year-old infielder has knocked in five runs in his last three games after posting just one RBI in the previous 12 contests. For the season, he's slashing .352/.424/.620 with three homers, 13 RBI, 19 runs scored and 10 doubles through 85 plate appearances.

  • Rangers' Luisangel Acuna: Returns from IL

    Acuna (hamstring) was reinstated from High-A Hickory's 7-day injured list Thursday and has gone 1-for-7 with two walks and two runs in his first two games since being activated.

    Acuna was sidelined for just under a month with the strained hamstring he sustained in his High-A debut in early April. The younger brother of Ronald Acuna is expected to spend the majority of the 2022 campaign with Hickory.

  • Nicky Lopez 2B | TEX

    Royals' Nicky Lopez: On bench versus lefty

    Lopez is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Lopez went 0-for-3 with a walk and run during the matinee, and he'll head to the bench with lefty Bruce Zimmermann pitching in Game 2 for Baltimore. Bobby Witt will shift to shortstop while Emmanuel Rivera starts at the hot corner.
