  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Resting against southpaw

    Turang isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Philadelphia.

    Turang doesn't typically bow out of the lineup whenever the Brewers face a lefty, but the team will use Thursday's matchup against Ranger Suarez as an opportunity to get the white-hot Turang a day to rest. Andruw Monasterio will fill in at the keystone and bat seventh.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Swipes two bags in win

    Garcia went 1-for-4 with a run scored, two RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Marlins.

    The 25-year-old swiped multiple bags in the same game for the first time since May 1, giving him 13 steals on the season in 18 attempts. Garcia hasn't been able to repeat his 2024 numbers, but he's reached double-digit home runs and stolen bases for the second straight year. Over his last 11 contests, he's batting .286 (10-for-35) with two doubles, two homers, three steals, five runs and six RBI.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Continues revival in second half

    Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 5-1 win over the Cubs on Wednesday.

    Albies ended Chicago's no-hit bid with a seventh-inning single, and he also launched his 15th homer of the campaign. While the second baseman has been a fantasy bust overall -- he has a .675 OPS in 2025 -- he's now tallied multiple hits in seven of his last nine outings amid his surge in the second half of the year. Since the All-Star break, Albies is slashing .283/.346/.474 with eight long balls, nine doubles, 34 RBI and five stolen bases over 191 plate appearances.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Cubs' Willi Castro: Swipes base, collects RBI in loss

    Castro went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Atlanta.

    Castro had one of just four Chicago hits and drove in the Cubs' only run in the bottom of the second inning. The utility player also recorded his 10th stolen base of the year in 13 attempts. It's the second straight season that Castro has reached double figures in both steals and home runs. That gives the 28-year-old some fantasy appeal when he's in the lineup, though he has struggled since coming over to Chicago at the trade deadline, posting a .159 batting average and .410 OPS in 21 games with his new team.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | HOU

    Astros' Ramon Urias: Drawing fourth straight start

    Urias will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    Urias will pick up his fourth straight start at the keystone after going 3-for-10 with a home run, a double, a walk and two RBI over the previous three contests. With Jose Altuve seeing most of his playing time of late at designated hitter or in left field, Urias looks like he could be a stable part of the lineup at second base while he's swinging a hot bat. Urias could eventually face competition for reps at second from Mauricio Dubon, who has been playing more in center field of late but may become more of a factor in the infield once Jake Meyers (calf) returns from the injured list.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Sitting for second time in four games

    Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    Dubon will hit the bench for the second time in four games and could be transitioning back into more of a part-time role after he had been a near-everyday player for Houston since about mid-May. The last two of his starts have come in center field, but Jake Meyers (calf) will likely see the bulk of the opportunities at that position once he returns from the injured list, perhaps as soon as this weekend.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Twins' Kody Clemens: Idle Wednesday

    Clemens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Clemens will take a seat against a right-handed starter (Yoendrys Gomez) for the second time in five games, allowing Edouard Julien to receive a turn at first base. Dating back to the time Julien was called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Aug. 1, both players have posted a sub-.600 OPS, so the two could operate in a timeshare until one clearly separates himself from the other from a performance standpoint.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Taking seat against southpaw

    Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    The left-handed-hitting Stott will retreat to the bench Wednesday while the Brewers send southpaw Jose Quintana to the hill. Edmundo Sosa will replace Stott at second base and will bat eighth.

  • Cole Young SS | SEA

    Mariners' Cole Young: Not in Wednesday's starting lineup

    Young is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Rays on Wednesday.

    Young will be on the bench for beginning of Wednesday's game while Jorge Polanco shifts to the keystone, Cal Raleigh serves as the designated hitter and Mitch Garver gets the start behind home plate. Young struggled at the plate in August and has gone 1-for-25 over his last 10 games, which has lowered his season OPS to .639 across 240 plate appearances.

  • Aron Estrada 2B | BAL

    Orioles' Aron Estrada: Back in action

    Estrada (quadriceps) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Double-A Chesapeake on Tuesday.

    He missed a little under two weeks with a quad injury and went 2-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in his first game back. Estrada, who was promoted from High-A Aberdeen to Chesapeake on July 29, is slashing .310/.372/.563 with five home runs, four steals and a 14.1 percent strikeout rate in 19 games for the Baysox. The 20-year-old switch hitter has split time between second base and left field since getting to Double-A.
