  • 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.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Fuels win with three RBI

    Story went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Royals.

    The shortstop broke open a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning with a two-run single, before adding another RBI knock in the seventh. Story has been able to stay healthy in 2025, and the production has followed -- his 72 RBI through 111 games represent his highest totals in both categories since 2021, his last season as a Rockie, and Story sits two homers and one steal away from his fourth career 20-20 campaign.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Smacks eighth homer

    Montgomery went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.

    All eight of those homers have come over his last 12 games dating back to July 22 versus the Rays. The infield prospect struggled a bit initially when he joined the major-league roster, but he's taken little time to find a groove. He's now batting .256 and slugging .567 with 24 RBI, 12 runs scored and no stolen bases across his first 26 contests. Montgomery has helped fill in for Chase Meidroth (thumb) at shortstop, but there should be room for Montgomery in the lineup on a near-everyday basis even when the White Sox have a fully healthy infield.

  • Ha-seong Kim SS | TB

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Not starting Tuesday

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

    After going 3-for-14 with two walks in four games since his return from the injured list, Kim will grab a seat on the bench Tuesday while Taylor Walls starts at shortstop.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Out again Tuesday

    Meidroth (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Seattle.

    Despite entering Sunday's contest as a defensive replacement, Meidroth seemingly still isn't quite ready to return to the starting nine after taking a pitch off his thumb last week. Josh Rojas will pick up another start at second base as a result while Brooks Baldwin covers third.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Starting after lineup adjustment

    Baez is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday versus the Twins.

    Gleyber Torres was slated to start at second base Tuesday, but he was scratched from the lineup due to left forearm tightness. Zach McKinstry is the starting second baseman after being originally set to start at short.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Playing catch and running

    Wilson (forearm) has been playing catch and running but has yet to be cleared for a hitting progression, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Wilson hasn't played in nearly two weeks as he recovers from a fractured left forearm. There is no timetable for the rookie shortstop's return to action, but his status should become clearer once he's ready to ramp up his hitting. With Wilson sidelined, Darell Hernaiz has been handling shortstop for the Athletics of late.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Taking seat Tuesday

    Baez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    Baez had started each of the previous five contests but will get a breather Tuesday. Zach McKinstry is at shortstop, and Matt Vierling will cover center field for the Tigers.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Enjoys huge game in Colorado

    Bichette went 3-for-6 with two home runs and six RBI in a 15-1 rout of the Rockies on Monday.

    Bichette quietly gave the Blue Jays an early lead with a run-scoring single in the first inning. His remaining two knocks were much louder -- he belted a 413-foot, two run homer in the third inning and added a 434-foot, three-run blast in the seventh. Bichette has been red-hot during the second half of the campaign, batting .385 with 21 RBI through 18 contests. However, Monday's outburst stood out in that it included two home runs; prior to the performance, he had gone deep just once over his previous 23 contests.
