  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: MRI on tap

    Arias (ankle) will undergo an MRI on Monday, MLB.com reports.

    Arias was removed from Sunday's 7-0 loss to the Cardinals in the third inning after attempting to make a sliding stop on a groundball in the hole. He was carted off the field with a splint on his left leg and was later diagnosed with a sprained ankle. The MRI should provide clarity on the extent of the injury, but if Arias is forced to miss time, Daniel Schneemann could step in as the Guardians' primary option at shortstop.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Tallies 10th stolen base

    Meidroth went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Giants.

    Meidroth has struggled of late, as Sunday marked just his second multi-hit effort in his last 10 starts. He's gone a total of 8-for-38 in that span, though he has also managed to work five walks. Meidroth also tallied just his second stolen base since May 23 -- bringing his total on the season to 10 -- and has also been thrown out twice in that stretch.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Delivers clutch homer

    Seager went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a sacrifice fly during Sunday's 6-4 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

    All three of Seager's RBI came in extra innings, as he swatted a game-tying two-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning and plated Kyle Higashioka on a sac fly in the 12th. Seager has homered in three consecutive games and boasts a five-game hit streak. During that five-game stretch, Seager is 6-for-18 (.333) with six runs scored and seven RBI.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Tossed from Sunday's contest

    Volpe went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's game against the Athletics before he was ejected following the eighth inning for arguing balls and strikes, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

    During his fifth and final plate appearance of the afternoon, Volpe took issue with a checked swing that was called for a strikeout and was tossed from the game by the first-base umpire. Oswald Peraza shifted over from second base to cover Volpe's spot at shortstop in the top of the ninth inning.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Remaining on bench Sunday

    Neto (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Neto will miss a fourth consecutive start after he jammed his right shoulder while attempting to steal a base Tuesday versus Boston. However, the 24-year-old appeared as a pinch hitter in both of Friday's and Saturday's contests, which indicates that he isn't dealing with a serious injury. Kevin Newman will make another start at shortstop for the Halos on Sunday.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Absence continuing Sunday

    Pena (ribs) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Pena will sit for a second consecutive game, as he's still feeling sore after being hit by a pitch Friday. The 27-year-old shortstop will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery ahead of a trip to Coors Field beginning Tuesday. Mauricio Dubon will fill in at shortstop again Sunday.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Suffers ankle sprain Sunday

    Arias was diagnosed with a left ankle sprain after exiting in the third inning of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. He went 0-for-1 at the plate prior to exiting the contest.

    Arias appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario after he needed to be carted off the field when he sustained a painful-looking ankle injury while attempting to track down a groundball. X-rays on the ankle returned negative, but his sprain could still be significant enough to force him to the injured list.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Carted off field Sunday

    Arias was removed from the field on a cart during the third inning of Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to an apparent left ankle injury, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Arias was in pursuit of a Masyn Winn grounder when his cleat got stuck in the dirt, causing his lower leg to contort. The Guardians will send Arias for further testing before providing a diagnosis, but the infielder could be headed for a lengthy absence. Daniel Schneemann came off the bench to replace Arias at shortstop.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Losing playing time

    Caballero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Since the start of June, Caballero is slashing just .137/.290/.137 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate. The 28-year-old utility player has still been able to provide some semblance of fantasy value during that time by collecting 10 stolen bases, but his ongoing struggles have begun to cost him playing time. He'll be on the bench for the third time in four games Sunday, and his starting opportunities moving forward could mostly be limited to left-handed pitching.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Belts homer in loss

    Arias went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday in a loss to the Cardinals.

    All of Cleveland's runs Saturday came in the fourth inning, and Arias contributed a 427-foot, two-run blast in that frame. It was just his second homer over his past 60 games after Arias began the campaign with four long balls across his initial 16 contests. The infielder/outfielder set his major-league high of 10 home runs in 2023, which he established over 345 plate appearances and has a chance of topping this year.
