Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Productive in win
Chisholm went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base during Thursday's 4-0 win over the Guardians.
The performance marked Chisholm's second three-hit game in 33 appearances this season and his second multi-hit outing since being activated from the injured list Tuesday. He's up to seven stolen bases this year. In 136 plate appearances, Chisholm is slashing .207/.316/.440 with eight homers, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored.

Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Slump deepens in blowout loss
Stott went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 9-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
It's becoming a deep slump for Stott, who struck out multiple times Thursday for the first time since May 10. Across his last 29 games (112 at-bats), the speedy middle infielder is hitting just .196 with two home runs, two doubles, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored. The lefty-hitting Stott's playing time doesn't appear to be in any kind of immediate danger -- backup second baseman Edmundo Sosa has a .562 OPS versus righties in 2025 -- but it wouldn't be surprising if the Phillies considered moving him down the lineup until he can get back on track.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Stays hot in win
Marte went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 11-10 win over Atlanta.
Marte launched a solo homer in the eighth inning, and then added an RBI and scored during Arizona's seven-run comeback in the ninth. The 31-year-old went deep three times in the series against Atlanta and has now hit safely in 14 of his past 15 games. On the season, he's slashing .299/.422/.606 with 11 home runs, 19 RBI, 30 runs and two stolen bases across 154 plate appearances.

Jose Rodriguez 2B | PHI
Jose Rodriguez: Reinstated, non-tendered by PHI
The Phillies reinstated Rodriguez from the ineligible list and non-tendered him Thursday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Major League Baseball issued a one-year suspension to Rodriguez last season for violating the league's gambling policy. Now that his suspension has been fulfilled, the Phillies have opted to push the 24-year-old infielder out of the organization and into the open market. Rodriguez played 38 games at Double-A Reading before getting suspended last year, during which he slashed .265/.329/.422 across 164 plate appearances.

DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY
Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Out of Thursday's lineup
LeMahieu isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Cleveland.
LeMahieu will get a chance to rest his legs Thursday after making four consecutive starts at second base, and he went 5-for-13 with two walks and three RBI during that span. Oswald Peraza will pick up a start at the keystone as a result and bat ninth.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Rejoins starting nine
Edman (ankle) will start at second base and bat sixth during Thursday's game against the Mets, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Manager Dave Roberts revealed Wednesday that Edman tweaked his ankle a few days ago, but the 30-year-old now seems to be fully recovered. Edman has been on a bit of a hot streak at the plate recently, going 8-for-27 with a home run, three RBI and seven runs scored across his last seven games.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Could settle in at third base
Keith, who is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox, recently began taking pregame reps at third base and is now considered an available option at the position, Evan Petzold of The Detroit Free Press reports."Just giving [Keith] different looks on ground balls," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday. "He used to play third base a little bit, so it's not that foreign to him. You may see him there from time to time. We'll see."
Keith saw the majority of his playing time at third base in the minors, but due to concerns about his throwing after he suffered a labrum injury in his right shoulder in July 2022, he hasn't played the position at all since reaching the big leagues in 2024 and has instead served as a second baseman, first baseman or designated hitter. The Tigers never fully closed the door on Keith getting a look at third base, however, and the 23-year-old appears poised to get an opportunity to prove he can hold up defensively at the hot corner while Detroit looks to extract more offense from the position. Zach McKinstry, Andy Ibanez and Javier Baez have all received double-digit starts at third base this season, but with Ibanez typically being used as a short-side platoon player and with McKinstry and Baez both beginning to see their production at the plate trend down, Keith could represent a notable upgrade. Since May 1, Keith is slashing .293/.333/.500 with three home runs, 13 RBI and 18 runs in 27 games.

Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Out of Thursday's lineup
Gimenez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Phillies.
Gimenez started both of the Blue Jays' first two games upon his activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, but the left-handed hitter will get some rest against tough southpaw Jesus Luzardo. Davis Schneider will cover second base and bat sixth for the Blue Jays.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Absent from lineup
Keith is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the White Sox.
Kerry Carpenter will likely be limited to designated-hitter duties for a bit as he overcomes a hamstring issue, which is affecting Keith's playing time. Keith has been absent from the lineup twice in the last three contests after he had started each of the previous seven tilts.
