Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Playing time trending down
Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Though his absence from the lineup against a lefty starter (Logan Allen) doesn't come as much of a surprise, Keith could be at risk of moving into a part-time role now that Detroit's roster is getting healthier. Matt Vierling returned from the injured list earlier this weekend, and Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back) are both in the midst of rehab assignments and could be activated from the IL in the near future.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Reaches five times in loss
Torres went 2-for-2 with three walks, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Saturday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.
Torres was effective from the No. 2 spot in the order and snapped a mini-slump in which he'd gone just 1-for-15 over his previous six contests. The infielder is enjoying a strong first year in Detroit, sporting an .806 OPS across 40 games. It would be his highest mark since posting an .872 OPS in his second MLB season back in 2019.

Otto Lopez SS | MIA
Marlins' Otto Lopez: Notches steal
Lopez went 1-for-3 with two walks, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Angels.
Lopez has reached base safely in all five contests since he returned from an ankle injury. He's gone 3-for-18 (.167) with four walks, a home run and four RBI in that span. The infielder is up to a .220/.298/.331 slash line with three homers, 15 RBI, 17 runs scored and four steals across 35 contests. He's splitting time between second base and shortstop as part of a middle-infield mix that also includes Javier Sanoja and Ronny Simon, with all three players competing regularly for two spots.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Swipes bag in win
Schneemann went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Saturday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Tigers.
Schneemann has hit safely in seven of his last 10 games, going 7-for-30 (.233) in that span. He's carved out a starting role, primarily at second base, since Brayan Rocchio was sent down to Triple-A Columbus, but Schneemann's bat has cooled off a bit after a stronger start to the month. Overall, he's at a .255/.339/.464 slash line with six home runs, five doubles, one steal, 13 RBI and 16 runs scored across 125 plate appearances.

Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI
Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Dealing with wrist issue
Sosa is day-to-day with a left wrist injury, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Sosa hurt his wrist in the ninth inning during Friday's win over the Athletics, and the issue kept him out of the lineup Saturday. Manager Rob Thomson hopes to get the infielder three days off ahead of Tuesday's series opener against Atlanta. The lefty-hitting Bryson Stott made a rare start against a southpaw Saturday, and the Phillies may need to lean on him even more at second base until Sosa is healthy.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Drives in three
Sosa went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and three RBI in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Rangers.
Sosa hit a bases-clearing double in the sixth inning off Jacob Webb that boosted the lead to 8-4. The infielder has been hot at the plate as of late, batting .354 (17-for-48) with five doubles, two home runs and six RBI in his past 15 games. The 25-year-old's poor plate discipline (2.9 percent walk rate) has been a major factor holding him back from becoming a more productive everyday player, but it hasn't slowed him down during this stretch of great hitting.

Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL
Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Set to begin rehab assignment
Rays manager Kevin Cash said Saturday that Kim (shoulder) is slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Monday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Kim has been participating in on-field drills and batting out of the cage, and he is ready to take the next step in his recovery by embarking on a rehab assignment. The 29-year-old shortstop suffered a right shoulder injury last August, which was severe enough for him to miss the rest of the 2024 season and undergo surgery in October. How Kim's shoulder reacts to a larger workload will dictate when he'll return to the majors to make his 2025 debut.

Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Starting against southpaw
Stott is starting at second base and batting seventh against the Athletics on Saturday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Stott will face off against a southpaw for the first time since April 8, with Jeffrey Springs taking the mound for the Athletics on Saturday. Stott has slashed .203/.236/.304 with three steals, two home runs and nine RBI since the beginning of May.

Kody Clemens 1B | MIN
Twins' Kody Clemens: Stays hot with homer
Clemens went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Royals.
The 29-year-old took Michael Wacha deep to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning and chase the righty from the game. Clemens has hit safely in each of his last six games and has an extra-base hit in five straight, and since May 11 he's batting .406 (13-for-32) with four doubles, a triple, three homers, six runs and nine RBI in 10 contests. The Twins' infield is nearly at full strength following the return of Carlos Correa from the concussion IL on Friday, but Clemens -- who has seen action at first base, second base, and both outfield corners in 2025 -- will be hard to dislodge from his strong-side platoon role given his current form.
