  • Ryan Kreidler SS | MIN

    Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Nursing sore hand

    Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Kreidler hasn't played for Triple-A Toledo since Sunday due to a sore right hand, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Kreidler initially fractured the hand in late April and underwent surgery before he made his return to the Triple-A lineup May 27. However, he appeared in just two games for Toledo before his hand started bothering him again. The setback doesn't seem to be a significant one for Kreidler, but he could miss a few more games until the discomfort completely subsides.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Takes seat Thursday

    Walls isn't starting Thursday against the Rangers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Walls started in the last five games, but he'll get a breather after he went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts Wednesday. Yandy Diaz will shift to third base while Harold Ramirez takes over at first.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Productive despite no hits

    Bregman went 0-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Athletics.

    Bregman is hitless in his last 13 at-bats, but he still managed to produce Wednesday. He played a key role in the team's ninth-inning rally by working a bases-loaded walk while later coming around to score on a Yordan Alvarez double. Though he is hitting .221 for the season, Bregman has still maintained a .341 on-base percentage and 120 wRC+.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Pops solo shot

    Urias went 1-for-4 with a solo shot and two strikeouts in Wednesday's 9-2 win over the Mariners.

    Urias hit one of the Orioles' three homers in the sixth inning as they took control of the contest. He's homered in two of his last three games, and he's 15-for-47 (.319) in his last 12 contests. The infielder continues to show decent power from the bottom half of the order. He's at five long balls, nine doubles, 16 RBI, 19 runs scored and a .233/.279/.384 slash line in 173 plate appearances.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Yankees' Josh Donaldson: Nearing return

    Donaldson (shoulder) could be activated from the injured list when first eligible later this week, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    Donaldson recently had a cortisone injection that appears to have done its job, as the third baseman is "really encouraged with where his shoulder is at," according to manager Aaron Boone. Donaldson is still awaiting the result of his appeal of a one-game suspension, but he'll be eligible to return from the IL on Thursday, per Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Mariners' Abraham Toro: Comes back from IL

    The Mariners reinstated Toro (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

    Toro isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Baltimore, but he should be primed to take on a regular role at either third base or designated hitter beginning Thursday after Seattle placed another everyday player in Kyle Lewis (concussion) on the 7-day injured list. Toro produced a .603 OPS in 135 plate appearances before he landed on the IL on May 22 with a sprained left shoulder, but he was reinstated on the first day he was eligible to return from the shelf.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Sitting again Wednesday

    Moncada (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Toronto.

    The White Sox have thus far resisted placing Moncada on the 10-day injured list, but he'll be on the bench for a fifth consecutive game due to his sore quad. Jake Burger will pick up another start at third base Wednesday while the White Sox continue to evaluate Moncada on a game-by-game basis.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Steals seventh bag

    Ramirez went 1-for-2 with three walks, two runs and a stolen base during Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Royals.

    The 29-year-old was intentionally walked twice and was retired only once in five plate appearances. Ramirez slumped briefly in early May but came alive during the second half of the month, going 15-for-47 (.319 average) with six home runs, 19 RBI, 11 runs and four stolen bases in his last 13 games.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Mariners' Abraham Toro: Starts rehab stint

    Toro (shoulder) reported to High-A Everett for a rehab assignment Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    The 25-year-old landed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left shoulder May 22, and Wednesday is the first day he's eligible to be activated. Toro could be back on the active roster before the end of the current series in Baltimore, which finishes up Thursday.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Two hits, two RBI in win

    LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Tuesday's victory over the Angels.

    LeMahieu ripped an RBI double in the bottom of the second inning off Noah Syndergaard before later adding another RBI, a single and a walk. The second baseman has now secured a hit in all three games since returning from a wrist injury, going 4-for-12 with two doubles and two RBI over those contests. LeMahieu is now batting .256 over 156 at-bats this season, though that figure represents his lowest mark since his debut season with the Cubs in 2011.
