  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Montgomery is absent from Saturday's starting lineup against the Guardians.

    Montgomery will be on the bench for the beginning of Saturday's AL Central game while Jacob Amaya starts at shortstop and bats eighth. Over his last 10 games, Montgomery has gone 8-for-39 (.205) with five home runs and 11 RBI.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Six-game hitting streak

    Correa went 2-for-3 with two walks and an RBI on Friday against the Yankees.

    Correa has hit very well since the All-Star break, going 21-for-63 with one home run, five RBI and nine runs scored across 17 contests. Friday's performance extended his hitting streak to six games, which includes four multi-hit performances. Correa has primarily hit cleanup since joining the Astros, so he should be able to record strong counting stats in the final two months of the regular season.

  • Ha-seong Kim SS | TB

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Sitting down Friday

    Kim isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Kim has gone 3-for-18 with two walks and seven strikeouts since returning from the injured list Aug. 1. He'll step out of the lineup Friday to kick off a three-game set in Seattle, giving Taylor Walls a chance to start at shortstop.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Goes on IL with bruised thumb

    The White Sox placed Meidroth on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right thumb contusion.

    Meidroth hadn't made a start in more than a week as he battled the nagging thumb issue, and the White Sox have finally decided to make a roster move with the infielder. He will be eligible for activation Aug. 15 and should have a good chance to be ready on that date. Colson Montgomery has shifted over from third base to shortstop in Meidroth's absence and will continue to play the latter position while Meidroth is out. Brooks Baldwin is likely to pick up most of the starts at the hot corner as a result.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Stays hot vs. Rockies

    Bichette went 2-for-6 with a three-run homer, an RBI double and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 20-1 win over Colorado.

    Bichette got Toronto's offensive outburst started Wednesday with a two-out, opposite-field blast off Kyle Freeland in the third inning, his 16th homer this year. The 27-year-old shortstop has been on a tear -- Bichette has at least one hit in seven straight games, going 14-for-33 (.424) with three homers, 12 RBI and no strikeouts in that span. Overall, he's slashing .301/.340/.475 with 78 RBI, 58 runs scored and four stolen bases across 514 plate appearances this year.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Idle Wednesday

    Meidroth (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Meidroth will miss a fifth consecutive start after getting hit on his right thumb by a pitch last Wednesday, though the White Sox still don't seem to plan on putting him on the injured list. Lenyn Sosa will cover second base while Meidroth takes another day to recover.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Sitting after four straight starts

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

    Walls will head to the bench after he went 2-for-12 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs while starting in each of the past four games. Though the Rays have both Brandon Lowe and Ha-Seong Kim healthy for one of the few times all season, Walls could continue to see semi-regular opportunities in the middle infield if Lowe ends up getting more exposure to first base while Jonathan Aranda (wrist) is on the shelf.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Taking seat Wednesday

    Pena is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Miami.

    According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, manager Joe Espada said that Pena will get a scheduled day off as "part of his buildup" after the shortstop recently overcame rib and hamstring injuries. Espada added that he expects Pena to resume handling an everyday role in the Astros' series against the Yankees this weekend. Houston will turn to Mauricio Dubon to start at shortstop in Pena's stead Wednesday.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Absent from lineup

    Baez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Twins.

    Baez had been slated for a day off Tuesday before being inserted to the lineup after Gleyber Torres (forearm) was scratched. Instead, Baez will get his breather Wednesday while Zach McKinstry plays shortstop and Matt Vierling handles center field.

  • Darell Hernaiz SS | ATH

    Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Leaves yard Tuesday

    Hernaiz went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

    Hernaiz left the yard for the second time in six games since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to take the Jacob Wilson's (forearm) spot at shortstop. Hernaiz has now recorded a hit in five of six games and has not struck out over 22 at-bats. Hernaiz should continue to get a lot of at-bats with Wilson's timeline to return still unclear.
