  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Logs multiple RBI in loss

    Story went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.

    Story got the Red Sox rolling with a two-out, two-run single in the first inning, but the offense went flat the rest of the game. For Story, it was his fourth multi-RBI game in June and fifth over the last 24 contests, during which he's driven in 20 runs. He's second on the team with 41 RBI, second only to the departed Rafael Devers (58).

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Extends hitting streak in win

    Correa went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Mariners.

    Correa ran his hitting streak up to a modest five games, and he's been hitting well since returning from a concussion. In 112 plate appearances since coming off the IL, the veteran shortstop is slashing .298/.348/.471 with four home runs, six doubles, 11 RBI and 16 runs scored covering 28 outings. Although the RBI count is relatively low during that period, Correa should see plenty of chances to drive in runs as long as he's hitting in the heart of the Twins' order.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: On bench Wednesday

    Walls is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Walls will hit the bench for the second time in three games as Jose Caballero gets the nod at shortstop. Though the Rays value Walls mainly for his defense and baserunning, he's maintained an .826 OPS so far in June, which should allow him to continue holding down at least a semi-regular role in the lineup.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: MRI reveals no damage

    MRI results on Neto's right shoulder came back negative Wednesday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Neto was pulled from Tuesday's contest early after jamming his right shoulder during a stolen-base attempt in the eighth inning. However, he didn't suffer any structural damage and is currently being viewed as day-to-day. Scott Kingery filled in as Philadelphia's shortstop during Wednesday's game against the Red Sox and and may be in line for a few more starts until Neto is ready to return.

  • Jorge Mateo SS | BAL

    Orioles' Jorge Mateo: Ramping up activities

    Mateo (elbow) told reporters Wednesday that he has participated in all baseball activities and is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk soon, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Mateo reported to Norfolk on Tuesday while continuing to build back up from left elbow inflammation that caused him to be placed on the 10-day injured list June 10. Mateo sported a .510 OPS with 14 steals, three doubles, one home run and three RBI in 65 plate appearances with the Orioles prior to landing on the IL.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Sitting for second straight game

    Duran is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    After Jake Burger (oblique) was placed on the injured list Saturday, Duran started each of the Rangers' ensuing three games at first base and went 1-for-10 with a walk and a run scored. The poor three-game run as a starter may have closed Duran's window for steady playing time temporarily, as he'll now find himself on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Brandon Young) for the second straight day. Super-utility man Josh Smith will serve as the Rangers' first baseman Wednesday, and the Rangers may use Burger's vacated lineup spot to cycle in a number of different players at designated hitter.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Out of lineup, will undergo MRI

    Neto (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Neto jammed his right shoulder on a stolen base attempt in the eighth inning of Tuesday's 3-2 extra-inning win and was removed from the contest in the ninth after making a wild throw. His injury is to the same shoulder that he had surgically repaired last November, and he is scheduled to undergo an MRI, per Sam Blum of The Athletic. The Angels could have more information on Neto's status after Wednesday's contest. Scott Kingery will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Juan Brito SS | CLE

    Guardians' Juan Brito: Back from Triple-A IL

    Triple-A Columbus activated Brito (thumb) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

    Brito needed surgery in late April to repair a high-grade ligament sprain in his right thumb, but he's ready to go after playing seven rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. The 23-year-old infielder slashed .291/.406/.491 with two home runs and four steals in 16 games for Columbus before getting hurt. Brito could eventually become an option for Cleveland at second base if he plays well at Columbus.

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Seeing time at third base

    Walcott started at third base and went 2-for-4 with three steals for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday.

    Walcott, who has played mostly shortstop this season, made his seventh start at third base. All seven have come over the last month. At 6-foot-4, Walcott can be viewed as a slugger first, but the prospect also has a speed component and uses his long legs to eat up distance on the basepaths. The 19-year-old Walcott has 15 steals (caught five times) through 66 games.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Battling jammed shoulder

    Neto jammed his right shoulder during Tuesday's win over Boston, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports.

    Neto suffered the injury while attempting to steal second base during the eighth inning. He then made a wild throw to first base during the ninth frame, so the Angels pulled him as a precaution. The severity of his injury remains unknown, though the team may have more information ahead of Wednesday's series finale.
