  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Showcases power Friday

    Montgomery went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Saturday against the Twins.

    Montgomery has showcased his power consistently for the last month, with all 11 of his home runs coming in his last 26 starts. After a one-game absence earlier in the week due to side soreness, Montgomery has returned to start a pair of consecutive games and should be a mainstay in the White Sox's lineup moving forward.

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Leads offense in Friday's win

    Pena went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Friday's 10-7 win over the Orioles.

    The shortstop took Cade Povich deep for a three-run shot in the third inning as part of a four-run frame that gave the Astros a lead they would never relinquish. Pena has 14 long balls on the season, with three of them coming in his last 12 games, but he's otherwise struggled to build any momentum over that stretch, managing a .213/.288/.447 slash line with two steals, four runs and six RBI.

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Collects one RBI in return

    Wilson (forearm) went 1-for-4 with one RBI in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

    Wilson missed four weeks with a left forearm fracture. He was able to supply his RBI as the Athletics tried to mount a comeback in the ninth inning that ultimately fell short. The 23-year-old is set to resume his role as starting shortstop. He's at a .311/.353/.437 slash line with 10 home runs, 46 RBI, 46 runs scored and five stolen bases over 95 contests, so fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to activate him.

  • Rays' Carson Williams: Goes yard in major-league debut

    Williams went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-6 win over the Cardinals.

    Making his big-league debut, Williams went deep in the seventh inning to give the Rays a 9-6 lead. As long as Ha-Seong Kim (back) is on the 10-day injured list, Williams should be able to handle everyday reps as Tampa Bay's shortstop. Williams slashed a pedestrian .213/.318/.447 with 55 RBI but did launch 23 homers and steal 22 bases over 451 plate appearances with Triple-A Durham in 2025, so fantasy managers in deeper settings can consider adding the rookie infielder for his power and speed potential.

  • Rays' Carson Williams: Making major-league debut

    Williams is starting at shortstop and batting seventh against the Cardinals on Friday.

    Williams should see regular playing time at shortstop while Ha-Seong Kim (back) is on the 10-day injured list. Williams has had his fair share of struggles at the plate in Triple-A with a .213 batting average across 451 plate appearances, but he's also displayed his speed and power with five triples, 22 stolen bases, 23 homers and 55 RBI.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Returning Friday

    Neto (wrist) is starting at shortstop and batting in the leadoff spot against the Cubs on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Neto was removed from Wednesday's game against the Reds after being hit by a pitch on the left hand. X-rays didn't reveal any structural damage, and the 24-year-old shortstop has been given the green light to play in Friday's series opener. Neto has gone 12-for-40 (.300) with one steal, five runs, four homers and nine RBI over his last 10 games.

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Activated from IL

    The Athletics activated Wilson (forearm) from the 10-day injured list, and he will start at shortstop and bat fifth against the Mariners on Friday.

    The 23-year-old will return to the majors after fully recovering from a fractured left forearm that landed him on the IL in late July. He appeared in four games for Triple-A Reno during his rehab assignment and went 3-for-14 with a solo homer and two additional runs scored. Max Schuemann was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Likely to return this weekend

    Wilson (forearm) is likely to be activated from the injured list in time for series in Seattle that begins Friday, MLB.com reports.

    Wilson is hitting .214 (3-for-14) with a home run in four games during his rehab assignment. If he doesn't have a setback Thursday, there's a good chance he'll return to the A's lineup Friday.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Heading back to injured list

    The Rays will place Kim (back) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Kim was scratched from Wednesday's lineup with back tightness and evidently the injury is bad enough to require another trip to the IL for the veteran infielder. The 29-year-old Kim has been limited to only 29 games this season due to myriad injuries, and he's slashed just .214/.290/.321 in those contests. It's not clear how long Kim will be sidelined this time around. Top prospect Carson Williams will take Kim's spot on the active roster.

  • Rays' Carson Williams: Receiving promotion to big leagues

    The Rays will call up Williams from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Ha-Seong Kim (back) is headed to the 10-day injured list, and Williams should man shortstop for the Rays regularly while Kim is out. Williams has not had a great 2025 season with Durham, slashing just .213/.318/.447 with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate. He has, however, socked 23 home runs and stolen 22 bases, so there is a tempting combination of power and speed if Williams is able to make enough contact.
