  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Three hits, steal in loss

    Meidroth went 3-for-5 with one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

    Meidroth recorded his first career multi-hit game and added his first major-league steal in the fifth inning. Recently moved into the leadoff spot, the rookie is hitting .269 with one RBI, four runs scored, a stolen base and an impressive 5:4 BB:K across 26 plate appearances this season.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Homers in win

    Henderson went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Reds.

    Henderson got off to a fast start, homering in the first inning and tacking on an RBI double in the second. He also drew two walks and, for the first time in 13 games this season, avoided striking out. The 23-year-old appears to be finding his rhythm and is now slashing .245/.286/.472 with two home runs, three RBI, nine runs scored and two steals across 56 plate appearances.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Sitting Saturday

    Walls is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Walls owns a .459 OPS across 30 plate appearances over his last eight games and will now take a day to collect himself. Jose Caballero will fill the resulting void at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Back in lineup Saturday

    Sweeney is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the Royals.

    Sweeney received Friday off with Kansas City starting southpaw Cole Ragans but will return to the lineup against righty Seth Lugo. The young shortstop hasn't really gotten going yet, as he's batting just .228 with a .641 OPS, though he has gone 3-for-6 over his last two games.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: RBI double in season debut

    Neto went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

    Activated off the injured list earlier in the day, Neto wasted no time in making an impact, driving home Nolan Schanuel with a two-bagger in the second inning and then racing home on a Matt Chapman fielding error. Neto hit seventh in his 2025 debut, but he's likely to move into a more prominent spot in the order once he's fully up to speed -- although Friday's performance suggests he's already there. After a breakout 2024 in which the 24-year-old shortstop slugged 23 homers and stole 30 bags in 155 games, big things are expected from Neto now that he's recovered from offseason shoulder surgery.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Posts 20th career multi-homer game

    Story went 3-for-4 with a pair of three-run home runs and an additional run scored in Friday's win over the White Sox.

    It was the 20th career multi-homer game by Story, who first went yard in the first inning to get Boston on the board. He later got the rout fully underway with his second three-run jack, giving the Red Sox a 9-2 lead in the seventh inning. Although the oft-injured shortstop went just 2-for-15 in March, Story is batting .364 with five long balls, 14 RBI, eight runs scored and four stolen bases across 66 at-bats in the month of April and should be rostered in virtually all fantasy leagues at this point.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Returns from IL

    The Angels reinstated Neto (shoulder) from the injured list Friday.

    Neto has spent the first few weeks of the season on the injured list while finishing up his recovery from a shoulder procedure he underwent in November. The 24-year-old has been playing rehab games at Triple-A Salt Lake since the start of April, however, and has slashed .286/.397/.592 with four homers, eight RBI and 16 runs scored while logging a base hit in 11 of his 13 contests. Now fully healthy, he figures to slide back in as the Angels' everyday shortstop. Nicky Lopez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Back in lineup

    Correa (wrist) is starting at shortstop and batting fifth against Atlanta on Friday.

    Correa tweaked his left wrist against the Mets on Tuesday. He underwent an MRI and missed Wednesday's contest, but the injury doesn't appear to be of much concern, as he's back in the lineup for Friday's series opener. Correa is slashing .164/.227/.246 with five walks, five runs scored and four RBI through 66 plate appearances to begin the season.

  • Rays' Chandler Simpson: Not in Friday's lineup

    The Rays selected Simpson's contract from Triple-A Durham on Friday.

    While Simpson is now officially on the Rays' active roster, he is still traveling and will not arrive in time for the start of Friday's game against the Yankees, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Thus, he is not in the lineup but could conceivably appear off the bench. Manager Kevin Cash indicated earlier Friday that Simpson will play regularly while with the big club.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Absent from Friday's lineup

    Rocchio is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Pittsburgh.

    Rocchio isn't dealing with any known injury, but he's now been out of the lineup for two of the last three games. Gabriel Arias will get the call at shortstop for the Guardians while Angel Martinez handles second base.
