Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Three hits, two RBI in win
Wilson went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.
Wilson dealt with a neck issue that kept him out of action Tuesday, but he's gone 8-for-13 over three games since returning to the lineup. It's part of a larger surge that has seen the shortstop log 11 multi-hit efforts over his last 17 games, batting .463 (31-for-67) in that stretch. He's up to a .369/.407/.527 slash line over 61 contests this season, which shows he's had no trouble adjusting to the majors in his first full big-league campaign.

Angels' Zach Neto: Swipes bag Friday
Neto went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and one RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

The shortstop has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, going 10-for-44 (.227) in that span. He's providing well-rounded production overall, batting .270 with an .818 OPS, 10 home runs, nine steals on 12 attempts, 24 RBI and 34 runs scored over 44 contests.

That single extended Bichette's hitting streak to 10 games, and over that span he has gone 13-for-40 (.325) with four home runs and 12 RBI.

Anthony Volpe SS | NYY
Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Imaging comes back clean
X-rays and a CT scan on Volpe's left elbow came back negative after he was pulled from Friday's game against Boston, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Volpe took a pitch off his elbow during the second inning, though it doesn't seem like he suffered any structural damage as a result. The Yankees may elect to give him a day or two off to recover, but a trip to the IL likely won't be necessary.

Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Getting Friday off
Henderson isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Henderson will get a breather during Friday's series opener after going 3-for-13 with a homer and five strikeouts during Baltimore's last series against the Mariners. Jorge Mateo will fill the vacancy at shortstop and bat ninth.

Bryce Rainer SS | DET
Tigers' Bryce Rainer: Done for 2025
Rainer will undergo season-ending surgery after dislocating his right shoulder during Single-A Lakehead's win over Daytona on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The 19-year-old shortstop suffered the injury while diving back to first base on a pick-off attempt. After receiving multiple opinions, the injury was determined to be severe enough to necessitate surgery, but Rainer is expected to be fully healthy for the start of spring training. He'll end the season with a .294/.383/.452 slash line with nine steals, five home runs and 22 RBI across 149 plate appearances in Single-A.

Trey Sweeney SS | DET
Tigers' Trey Sweeney: On bench again Friday
Sweeney is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
It's the fourth absence in Detroit's past six games for Sweeney, who appears to have fallen out of a regular role with the Tigers getting the likes of Parker Meadows and Wenceel Perez back from the injured list over the past couple weeks. Zach McKinstry and Javier Baez have both received starts at shortstop over the last week, with Baez getting the nod Friday while McKinstry mans third base. Sweeney has been unable to get on track offensively this season with a .222/.279/.312 slash line through 60 games.

Angel Genao SS | CLE
Guardians' Angel Genao: Activated Friday
Genao (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Double-A Akron on Friday.
Genao, who turned 21 in May, generated buzz in the spring by growing an inch over the offseason and showing up to spring training much stronger, but a sprained right shoulder sidelined him for the first two months of the campaign. He slashed .308/.438/.654 with three home runs over eight rehab games in the Arizona Complex League.
