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 3B | 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.

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.

Colson Montgomery SS | CHW
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 | ATL
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.
