  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Exiting starting nine

    Lee is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cubs.

    Lee will grab a seat Wednesday after starting both of the previous two contests at second base for the Twins. Willi Castro will receive the start at the keystone and will bat second.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Getting afternoon off

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

    After starting in each of the last 31 contests, Clement will get a well-deserved breather for the day game after a night game. With a respectable .722 OPS over 328 plate appearances in addition to providing excellent defense at multiple infield spots, Clement has been an indispensable piece for the Blue Jays in 2025, but he could fade into more of a part-time role against right-handed pitching once Toronto gets healthier. Clement has been far more effective versus lefties (.396/.438/.635 slash line, 198 wRC+) than righties (.244/.283/.273 slash line, 57 wRC+) this season.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Hitless in return to lineup

    Moncada went 0-for-4 in his return to the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

    Starting at third base and batting sixth, Moncada was playing in his first game for the Angels in more than a month after battling right knee inflammation. With Moncada re-taking the third base job, Luis Rengifo shifted over to second base for the Halos on Tuesday.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Pops first homer

    Rojas went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Despite the White Sox's infield getting more crowded with the addition of Colson Montgomery, Rojas continues to play nearly every day. He tallied his first home run of the season in the sixth inning Tuesday and now has one hit in four of his last five starts. While that's a very limited positive sample, Rojas is hitting a disastrous .184/.256/.250 across 169 plate appearances for the season.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Homers again

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with two walks, a home run, two RBI, two steals and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 10-6 extra-inning win over Houston.

    Ramirez got the night started with a two-run home run in the first inning to give the Guardians an early lead. It was his second straight game with a homer and his third long ball in the last four games -- it's safe to say Ramirez has moved beyond the 0-for-21 slump he endured last week. He's up to 16 home runs and 24 steals for the season.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Launches eighth homer

    Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 10-1 win over Atlanta.

    Muncy has hit safely in eight of his last nine games, going 11-for-32 (.344) with three homers, three doubles and six RBI in that span. The infielder capped a five-run first inning for the Athletics with his blast. Muncy is up to a .222/.268/.404 slash line with eight homers, 22 RBI, 16 runs scored, seven doubles and one stolen base through his first 50 major-league games. It's unclear if Muncy will have a regular spot in the lineup once Miguel Andujar (oblique) completes his rehab assignment.

  • Nathan Eaton LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Heading to Worcester

    The Red Sox are expected to option Eaton to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    With Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) due to return from the injured list Wednesday, Eaton will end up as the man left without a place on the active roster. The 28-year-old is 6-for-24 in the majors this year with one RBI, five runs scored and three steals through 14 games, and his defensive versatility gives him a better chance to return to the Red Sox later in the year.

  • Tristan Gray SS | BOS

    White Sox's Tristan Gray: Optioned to Triple-A

    The White Sox optioned Gray to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Gray was with the big club for only one day and did not make an appearance. He's clearing out to make room for the return of Luis Robert (hamstring) to the active roster.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Activation imminent

    Moncada (knee) is headed to Los Angeles to rejoin the Angels and is likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    Moncada has missed more than a month of action with right knee inflammation but appears set to return after going 4-for-9 with a homer in three rehab games with the Angels' Arizona Complex League affiliate. The 30-year-old should regain his role as the Halos' primary third baseman, with Luis Rengifo shifting over to second base to cover for Christian Moore (thumb).

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Keeps raking Monday

    Barger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's win over the White Sox.

    The 25-year-old took Sean Burke deep in the sixth inning, one of three Toronto homers off the right-hander on the night. Barger is up to 12 long balls on the season, including four in the last nine games -- a stretch in which he's batting .323 (10-for-31) with two doubles, six runs and 12 RBI.
