    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Taking seat Sunday

    Sweeney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Sweeney started the previous 19 games and had a .736 OPS during that stretch, but he will head to the bench after striking out in all four of his plate appearances Saturday to don a Golden Sombrero. Zach McKinstry will step in at shortstop for the series finale versus Texas.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Tallies three hits Saturday

    Pena went 3-for-6 with a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 13-9 loss to the Reds.

    Pena smacked an RBI single and double in the fifth and ninth innings, respectively, for his ninth multi-hit game of the season, and he was one of four Astros batters to record two RBI. Pena has reached base safely in 12 of his last 13 games, and over that span he has slashed .357/.390/.536 with two home runs, seven runs and 11 RBI.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Lifts second homer

    Bichette went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

    Bichette has racked up five multi-hit efforts over his last 11 games, a span that includes both of his homers as well as four doubles and five RBI. The shortstop started the Blue Jays' comeback effort Saturday with a two-run homer in the fifth inning. He's batting .287 with a .732 OPS, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases across 39 contests this season.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Homers twice in win

    Seager went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, three RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Tigers.

    Seager sat out two straight contests but returned with a bang Saturday, notching his second two-homer game of the season. The shortstop has hit safely in each of his five games since returning from the injured list May 3, going 8-for-23 with four extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs scored in that span. On the season, he's slashing .300/.346/.520 with six long balls, 12 RBI and 15 runs scored across 107 plate appearances.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Smacks three-run home run

    Story went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Royals.

    Story -- who entered Saturday's game having gone 7-for-62 (.113) over his last 15 games -- gave the Red Sox a 7-1 lead in the seventh inning, when he took Angel Zerpa deep to left-center field for a three-run home run. It was Story's sixth home run of the season and first since April 18 against the White Sox. Story batted fifth Saturday and has primarily hit there this season, though his recent struggles at the plate resulted in him hitting out of the No. 6 hole for most of the week.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Playing time slipping again

    Rocchio is not in Saturday's lineup against the Phillies.

    Rocchio has received inconsistent playing time of late due to struggles at the plate, as he is without a hit in his past 26 at-bats. He'll now be out of the lineup Saturday for the fourth time in the last six games, with Gabriel Arias manning shortstop and Will Wilson entering the lineup at second base while hitting eighth.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Back in action

    Meidroth (shoulder) is leading off and playing shortstop Saturday against the Marlins, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Meidroth was a late scratch for Friday's matchup due to right shoulder soreness. However, he'll immediately return to take over his usual role as the White Sox's leadoff hitter.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Returns to lineup

    Seager is hitting third and playing shortstop Saturday against the Tigers.

    Seager sat two consecutive days -- the latter against lefty Tarik Skubal -- to rest a right hamstring injury. He'll return to the lineup Saturday, and it's a positive sign that he'll man shortstop rather than serve as the designated hitter.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: On base four times Friday

    Bichette went 2-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Friday's win over the Mariners.

    The shortstop is getting locked in at the top of the order for Toronto. Bichette is slashing .279/.354/.419 over the last 10 games with a homer, two steals, three RBI and five runs, and he's reached base multiple times in five of the last six contests.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Makes second straight start at SS

    Smith started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

    Smith made a second straight start at shortstop, as Corey Seager rested his hamstring Thursday and Friday, per Steve Kornacki of MLB.com. Smith has hit safely in five consecutive games, going 10-for-21 with a triple, two RBI and three runs scored.
