Bazzana went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.

Bazzana's first-inning single snapped an 0-for-17 stretch, which is part of a greater slump for the second baseman -- over the last eight contests, Bazzana is 4-for-31 (.129). He's managed to steal a couple of bases during the skid and is up 10 (on 12 attempts) across 39 games.

Holliday went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 7-2 victory over the Mariners.

Holliday broke the game open with his grand slam off Domingo Gonzalez with two outs in the seventh inning. It's the third career grand slam and third homer this season for Holliday. Coming into the day, he'd gone just 3-for-18 (.167) over his previous six contests. Since returning from the IL on May 19, Holliday is slashing .220/.319/.424 with 10 RBI, 10 runs scored and three stolen bases.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a walk and a run scored Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Lowe kicked off the Pirates' dramatic late-game rally in the seventh inning by delivering a two-run double, and he later came around to score. He has only one multi-hit game across his last 13 starts-- he's hit .166 in that span -- but he's still managed to tally 10 RBI and nine runs scored during that stretch.

Peraza went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Astros.

Peraza tried his best to manufacture a run after his seventh-inning single, but he was left stranded. He's maintained decent stats at the plate in June, going 8-for-36 (.222) with two extra-base hits, six RBI and three steals over nine contests this month. On the season, he's been a bit better, hitting .267 with a .755 OPS, seven home runs, nine steals, 21 RBI, 19 runs scored, eight doubles and two triples across 63 games.

Torres went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

Torres has been heating up lately with three three-hit performances across his last six games, and he's batting a robust .417 during the stretch. Overall, the veteran infielder now has a .283/.398/.379 slash line in 39 contests, and after missing about a month due to an oblique strain, he once again looks like a reliable fantasy contributor near the top of Detroit's lineup.

Massey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro will send Massey and fellow left-handed hitter Carter Jensen to the bench Wednesday while southpaw MacKenzie Gore takes the hill for the Rangers. With Massey sitting, Nick Loftin will pick up a start at second base and will bat eighth.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a walk, a triple, two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Guardians.

The 28-year-old infielder ripped a two-run triple in the second inning, kicking off a big day for the Yankees' offense despite zero home runs for the team. The three-bagger was Chisholm's 10th extra-base hit in his last 21 games (three doubles, two triples and five homers), a stretch in which he's batting .288 (23-for-80) with six steals, 15 RBI and 17 runs.

The Mariners optioned Bliss to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Bliss was just recalled Monday and started at second base the last two days. However, with Miles Mastrobuoni (calf) back from the injured list to reclaim his utility role, Bliss will head back to the minors.

McKinstry will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.

After earning a Silver Slugger Award as a utility player in 2025, McKinstry has noticed a big drop in production to begin the current season but has begun to show signs of life at the plate since the calendar flipped to June. Through his first five games on the month, McKinstry has gone 5-for-15 with a triple, four walks and four runs. He'll be rewarded with a third consecutive start and appears to have at least temporarily moved ahead of Matt Vierling and Wenceel Perez in the pecking order for one of two spots at the bottom of the Detroit lineup.

Arroyo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Since being called up from Triple-A Louisville on June 1, Arroyo has started in six of the Reds' ensuing nine games but hasn't gotten going at the plate. Spencer Steer will get the nod at second base Wednesday over Arroyo, who has begun his big-league career by going 5-for-22 (.227 average) with no extra-base hits and a 2:9 BB:K. He'll need to raise his production if he hopes to stick around with the big club once Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) is ready to return from the injured list.
