Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Not starting Sunday
Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Gimenez has gone 4-for-13 with two walks, a double and two runs in four games since coming back from a quadriceps strain, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota. Alan Roden will receive a start in the outfield, pushing Addison Barger back to the hot corner and Ernie Clement to second base.

Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Swipes sixth bag
Kim went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.
Kim got the start in center field and continued to make a strong impression with his bat, collecting his third multi-hit effort across his past four starts. The rookie has gone 8-for-15 with a homer, two RBI and two stolen bases during that span but continues to play sporadically -- he didn't start in any of Los Angeles' three games prior to Saturday. Kim has started at three different positions (center, second base and shortstop) this season as manager Dave Roberts looks to find room for him on a talented roster. Kim has done all he can to make a case for playing time, slashing .411/.441/.554 with two home runs, seven RBI, 13 runs and six stolen bases (in six attempts) across 25 games.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Slugs 12th homer
Marte went 2-for-7 with a two-run home run in losses to the Reds on Friday and Saturday. The Friday game was suspended after six innings due to weather and completed Saturday.
Marte launched his 12th homer of the year during the Friday portion of the suspended game, giving him home runs in consecutive games and four in a four-game span. Marte has nine home runs and 16 RBI over the last 19 contests, during which he's slashed .342/.455/.740 across 89 plate appearances.

Brandon Lowe 2B | TB
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Clubs 13th homer
Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Saturday's 11-10 loss to the Marlins in extras.
Lowe hit his 13th home run on the season Saturday and knocked in his 34th RBI of the year in the process. The 30-year-old is on pace to top 30 home runs and 80 RBI, which would be his best season since 2021 -- the last time he was healthy enough to play more than 109 games. He is currently slashing .247/.298/.454 for the campaign.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Rangers' Marcus Semien: Stays hot in win
Semien went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 5-0 victory over the Nationals.
After going 0-for-4 in the series opener against the Nationals, Semien bounced back Saturday to stay hot at the plate. He struggled mightily in May, slashing just .207/.302/.272 with two extra-base hits and eight RBI, but the second baseman is off to a scorching start to June with a .421/.522/.895 line, five extra-base hits and five RBI through six games. For a Rangers team that has underwhelmed in 2025, a resurgence from the 34-year-old could be a key factor in helping them work their way back into contention.

Chris Taylor RF | LAA
Angels' Chris Taylor: Makes impact off bench in win
Taylor went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Mariners. He was also hit by two pitches.
Jorge Soler (groin) was pulled from the game early, so Taylor filled in as the right fielder. He made an impact right away with a second-inning homer and also plated the tying run one frame later. Should Soler miss any time, Taylor would be an option to fill in until Mike Trout is ready to play in right field. Taylor is slashing .220/.258/.356 with one homer, five RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base over 62 plate appearances between the Angels and the Dodgers this season.

Jeff McNeil 2B | NYM
Mets' Jeff McNeil: Clubs homer in Saturday's win
McNeil went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.
McNeil has hit safely in eight of his last nine games, going 9-for-32 (.281) with two homers in that span. The 33-year-old's blast gave the Mets a 4-1 lead in the sixth inning. McNeil is batting .240 with an .805 OPS, four homers, 13 RBI, nine runs scored, four doubles, three triples and a stolen base across 34 contests this season. He's been a regular in the lineup since returning from a season-opening oblique injury, splitting time between second base and the outfield.

Max Muncy SS | ATH
Athletics' Max Muncy: Getting rest
Muncy is out of Saturday's lineup against the Orioles.
Muncy had started three straight games at third base since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. He's gone 3-for-13 with a home run and five strikeouts and will hit the bench Saturday in favor of Logan Davidson.
