  • Brandon Lowe 2B | TB

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Knocks in two

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with two RBI and two walks Sunday against the Yankees.

    Lowe managed to drive in a pair with a single in the fourth inning, though he still hasn't snapped out of a slow start to the season. He's hitting only .203 paired with a 28.1 percent strikeout rate, but most problematic has been his lack of power. Lowe's only extra-base hits of the season have been his four home runs, leading to just a .102 ISO across 128 plate appearances.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Homers off bench Sunday

    Rojas went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Atlanta.

    Rojas has hit safely in six of his last seven games dating back to April 23. In that span, he has gone 8-for-15 with three RBI. The infielder is filling a bench role early in 2025, and he's batting .265 with a .647 OPS, one homer, three RBI, three runs scored and no stolen bases over 50 plate appearances. Tommy Edman's (ankle) stay on the injured list has opened up time at second base, but Rojas is competing with Enrique Hernandez and Chris Taylor, and Hyeseong Kim is also in the mix, though he's come off the bench in his first two major-league games.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Three hits, steal in matinee loss

    Acuna went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in a 6-5 loss to the Cardinals in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.

    Acuna continues to lead the Mets in steals -- his theft Sunday was his eighth of the season. This was also his third multi-hit effort in the last six games, though he followed it up with an 0-for-4 effort in the nightcap. Acuna is at a .298/.355/.369 slash line with no home runs, four RBI, 14 runs scored and six doubles across 93 plate appearances this season. He continues to see a majority of the playing time at second base, though he started at third in the day game.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Records three hits in win

    Arias went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over Toronto.

    Arias had his most productive game in a couple of weeks. He entered Sunday batting .184 (7-for-38) with one RBI over the last 13 games. Arias started at shortstop, his fourth start there in the last six games and 11th this season.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Twins' Willi Castro: Expected to return early this week

    Castro (oblique) isn't likely to need a minor-league rehab assignment and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    If he's fully healthy the utility player should immediately reclaim a regular starting role with the Twins struggling to find production at multiple lineup spots. Castro originally suffered the right oblique strain April 16, but he's since resumed baseball activities and has been taking batting practice without issue.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Homers twice in loss

    Holliday went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Royals.

    Holliday tied the game with a solo shot in the second inning and later knotted things up again with a 422-foot blast in the fourth. The 21-year-old has hit safely in eight of his last 10 contests and is currently riding a five-game hit streak. While his tendency to sit against lefties limits his ceiling for now, he's slashing a solid .273/.340/.443 with four homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and two steals across 97 plate appearances.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: On bench for second game of day

    Gorman is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets.

    The Cardinals are facing a right-hander (Tylor Megill) in the second game of the day, but the left-handed-hitting Gorman will nonetheless find himself on the bench. Gorman started at second base in the Cardinals' 6-5 win in Game 1, going 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | NYM

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Sitting out second leg of twin bill

    McNeil is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.

    McNeil will take a seat for the nightcap after he started at second base and went 0-for-4 with a walk and two runs in the Mets' 6-5 loss earlier in the day. Luisangel Acuna will cover the keystone and Tyrone Taylor will occupy center field in Game 2.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Likely to miss 2-to-3 weeks

    Lopez (ankle) said after Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Athletics that he expects to miss around 2-to-3 weeks, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Miami placed Lopez on the injured list prior to Sunday's game after he sprained his right ankle while stretching prior to Friday's 6-1 loss. Javier Sanoja has started at second base in both of the last two games and should serve as the primary option at the position in Lopez's absence, though Ronny Simon and Connor Norby could also be factors.

  • Giants' Christian Koss: Getting steady playing time at 2B

    Koss will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Koss will occupy the keystone for the third time in four games and could get a look as the Giants' primary option at the position after Tyler Fitzgerald (rib) joined Casey Schmitt (oblique) on the injured list. After making the Giants' roster out of spring training, Koss had seen limited playing time through the end of April, logging just 26 plate appearances over the team's first 31 games. Along with Koss, Brett Wisely is also in the mix for playing time at second base while Fitzgerald and Schmitt are on the shelf.
