  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Indians' Amed Rosario: Swipes bag

    Rosario went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 win over Detroit.

    The shortstop led off the sixth inning with a single and stole second base before coming around to score on a Harold Ramirez single. Rosario could be in line for near-everyday at-bats since Andres Gimenez was sent down to Triple-A Columbus last week. The 22-year-old Rosario has slashed .248/.309/.372 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 18 runs scored and four stolen bases in 40 games this season.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Stacking up hits at Double-A

    Turang has gone 11-for-30 (.366) with a double, a triple, four RBI and a 4:5 BB:K over his last seven games with Double-A Biloxi.

    Turang is seeing action at the Double-A level for the first time, and after picking up just three hits over his first eight games, he's picked up the pace in a big way. With the Brewers having acquired fellow shortstop Willy Adames, it seems unlikely Turang will make his MLB debut this year. However, he spent spring training with the big-league club and is one of the Brewers' top prospects, so he could at least reach Triple-A if he keeps producing at the plate.

  • Jorge Polanco DH | NYM

    Twins' Jorge Polanco: Gets back on field

    Polanco (right ankle) appeared as a pinch runner and played second base in Monday's win over Baltimore. "We prefer him to feel nothing, but I think he's going to be OK to play going forward," manager Rocco Baldelli told, MLB.com.

    Polanco did not start for a fourth consecutive game due to a sore ankle, which is concerning given that he's had ankle injuries the past two seasons. Last season, he played with a bone spur and a small bone chip in his right ankle which ultimately required offseason surgery. However, it's promising that he was able to appear as a pinch runner, as it doesn't seem likely the Twins would employ him that way if the ankle was a major concern.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Marcus Semien: Reaches 30 RBI in 2021

    Semien went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Rays.

    Semien belted his 12th home run of the season in the bottom of the 10th inning, a two-run shot to tie the game at seven. The 30-year-old continues to have an impressive month of May at the plate, hitting .359 with seven homers, 20 RBI and two stolen bases through 22 games.

  • Sam Haggerty LF | TEX

    Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Heads to IL

    Haggerty was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to right shoulder inflammation.

    It's unclear as to when the shoulder issue surfaced, but he'll need to spend at least the next 10 days on the injured list following this move. Ty France (wrist) was activated from the IL in a corresponding move.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Out at least another month

    McNeil's hamstring strain is a significant one and is expected to keep him out until late June, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

    The Mets have managed to limp to first place in a rather mediocre NL East despite a significant injury crisis, but that crisis won't be letting up any time soon, as both McNeil and Michael Conforto are expected to miss another month with their hamstring strains. Jose Peraza has been the primary second baseman in McNeil's absence and should remain in the role for now, though his .610 OPS could send the Mets searching for alternatives.

  • Jorge Polanco DH | NYM

    Twins' Jorge Polanco: Still sidelined Monday

    Polanco (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Polanco will be on the bench for a fourth consecutive game due to right ankle soreness. Andrelton Simmons will start at shortstop while Nick Gordon takes over at second base.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Twins' Luis Arraez: Not starting Monday

    Arraez isn't starting Monday's game against the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Arraez went 1-for-5 with two runs and two strikeouts in Sunday's series finale against Cleveland. Nick Gordon will start at second base and bat ninth.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Remains hot at plate

    Torres went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

    The shortstop put New York up early with a two-run single in the first inning. He added two more hits the rest of the way and now has four multi-hit performances over his past five games. During that stretch, Torres is batting .611 (11-for-18) with a home run, a double, a stolen base and eight RBI.

  • Tony Kemp 2B | MIN

    Athletics' Tony Kemp: Stays hot in leadoff debut

    Kemp went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run in a loss to the Angels on Sunday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.

    Kemp operated out of the top of the order for the first time this season and generated his second multi-hit effort in the last three contests. The veteran has shown a propensity for hard contact during that small sample, recording a double, Sunday's triple and a solo home run, with the latter two qualifying as his first of the year in those respective categories. While he doesn't possess a true everyday role at present, Kemp's .392 on-base percentage and three steals in four attempts are a big part of what affords him some fantasy value in AL-only formats and deep mixed leagues, and his recent modest flurry of extra-base hits would certainly boost it even further if it persisted over a longer sample.
