  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Bounces back with solo homer

    Jung went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.

    Jung snapped a 10-game homer drought with a fourth-inning shot off Athletics right-hander J.T. Ginn. While Jung posted four multi-hit efforts in his first six outings of the year, he's cooled off considerably since then. The third baseman is hitting just .128 (5-for-39) with two doubles and two runs scored across his last 10 contests, but Jung should still see plenty of RBI opportunities as long as he's functioning from the heart of Texas' lineup.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Belts first homer of 2025

    Vargas went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's 3-0 win over Minnesota.

    Vargas extended the White Sox's lead to three runs in the sixth inning, when he took Jorge Alcala deep to left-center field for a solo homer. It was Vargas' first home run of the season, and while he has a .163 average for the season, he's been marginally better of late with a .217 average in his past seven games.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Stays hot in loss

    Bregman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two total RBI in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

    Bregman got Boston on the board with his home run off Bryan Woo in the first inning, his fifth long ball this season, before adding a second RBI with a two-out single in the third. Bregman has been red hot at the plate -- he's hit safely in five straight games, going 8-for-18 (.444) with four extra-base hits in that span. The 31-year-old Bregman is now slashing .320/.393/.563 with 21 RBI and 17 runs scored through his first 117 plate appearances with the Red Sox.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Cleared to begin rehab assignment

    Lewis (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Lewis has been ramping up his running this week and didn't encounter any setbacks, so he's been cleared to test out his left hamstring in game action. It's not clear how many rehab contests Lewis will need before being activated from the IL, but he's missed over a month of action, so it will likely be more than a few games.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Resting for early game

    India is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Rockies.

    India had been scheduled to sit out Wednesday's matchup with right-hander German Marquez before the game was rained out, so it's not especially surprising that the 28-year-old finds himself on the bench for Game 1 of the twin bill while Marquez takes the hill for the Rockies. Expect India to be back in the lineup for the second game of the day.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Making third straight start

    Urias is starting at second base and batting ninth Wednesday against the Rangers.

    The 27-year-old has worked as a reserve infielder early in the season with four starts each at second and third base, but he should be in line for more consistent playing time after Max Muncy was demoted Wednesday. Zack Gelof (wrist) doesn't appear particularly close to returning from the IL, so at-bats at the keystone should mostly be up for grabs. Urias has certainly earned the additional opportunities with a .304/.370/.565 slash line through 27 plate appearances.

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Back in lineup Wednesday

    Rengifo (mouth) is starting at third base and batting seventh against the Pirates on Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Rengifo was not in the Halos' starting lineup for Tuesday's game after getting a root canal, though he did come in to pinch hit in the eighth inning. He's back in the lineup for the third game of the series and will face off against Pirates southpaw Andrew Heaney. Rengifo has started the year slashing .215/.250/.316 with eight runs scored, one home run and seven RBI in 84 plate appearances.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Not in Toronto lineup

    Clement is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston.

    Clement started the first two games of the series but will grab a seat for Wednesday's finale after going 1-for-6 with a strikeout. Will Wagner is at third base and batting eighth as the Blue Jays try to avoid the sweep.

  • Cam Smith 3B | HOU

    Astros' Cam Smith: Grabbing seat Wednesday

    Smith is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Smith had started each of the previous 13 contests but will get a breather Wednesday as the Astros try to complete a series sweep. Zach Dezenzo will cover right field and bat seventh.

  • Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Not starting against lefty

    Mastrobuoni is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Mastrobuoni had started in each of the Mariners' last four matchups versus right-handed pitching, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday while the Red Sox send southpaw Sean Newcomb to the bump. The Mariners will likely continue to deploy Mastrobuoni in a timeshare at third base with Ben Williamson until Jorge Polanco is cleared to play the field again while he manages a side injury.
