  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Monster performance in win

    Turner went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Monday's 10-7 win over the Dodgers.

    It was the 20th career multi-homer game by Turner, who registered his first such effort of the year and also tallied career homer No. 200 in the process. The five RBI were a season high as well for the veteran shortstop, who's finally starting to pick up some steam at the dish. He's cranked four long balls during his five-game hitting streak, but Turner is still slashing just .246/.296/.396 with 14 big flies, 40 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 68 runs scored over 433 trips to the plate.

  • Jim Jarvis SS | ATL

    Braves' Jim Jarvis: Settling in at shortstop

    Jarvis will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Padres.

    Jarvis will cover shortstop for the fifth game in a row, with three of those starts coming against righties and two coming versus lefties. Since being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on July 2, Jarvis has posted a strong .297/.333/.459 slash line with one home run, four RBI and five runs in 11 games and has provided solid defense in the middle infield. So long as he keeps hitting, Jarvis should be able to hold down a near-everyday role at shortstop while Mauricio Dubon is needed in the outfield as long as at least one of Ronald Acuna (hamstring) and Mike Yastrzemski (elbow) remain on the shelf.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Not in Monday's lineup

    Lopez (finger) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

    Per Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com, Lopez was spotted on the field playing catch during pregame warmups, but the Marlins will keep him on the bench for the second day in a row while he recovers from right ring finger inflammation. Javier Sanjoa will serve as Miami's shortstop and bat ninth inm Monday's series opener.

  • Seaver King SS | WAS

    Nationals' Seaver King: Shelved at Triple-A

    Triple-A Rochester placed King on the 7-day injured list July 3 with a left oblique strain.

    King has split his age-23 season evenly between Double-A and Triple-A, although he was notably more impressive at Double-A (163 wRC+) than for Rochester (102 wRC+). He has a .306/.385/.504 slash line, 10 home runs, nine steals and a 20 percent strikeout rate in 68 games. Since getting to Triple-A, King has started 26 games at shortstop and seven games at second base.

  • Diamondbacks' Demetrio Crisantes: Bumped up to Triple-A

    Crisantes has been promoted from Double-A Amarillo to Triple-A Reno, Chase Ford of MiLB Central reports.

    Crisantes earned the promotion after slashing an impressive .319/.413/.548 with five home runs and a 19:29 BB:K in 35 games with Amarillo. The 21-year-old has played second base exclusively this season, which lessens his chances of a promotion later this season since that's Ketel Marte's position with the big club.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Hits inside-the-park homer Sunday

    Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

    Perdomo's lone hit was a memorable one, as his line drive to left field in the seventh inning was misplayed by Jose Fermin and resulted in an inside-the-park homer. It's been a fairly pedestrian July for Perdomo, who's hitting just .204 with two homers, five RBI, 10 runs and three stolen bases across 13 games. The shortstop has taken a step back from his breakout 2025 campaign, slashing .238/.355/.358 with seven homers, 36 RBI, 48 runs and 15 stolen bases across 95 contests in 2026.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Goes yard, reaches five times

    Lindor went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two walks in Sunday's 6-1 win over Philadelphia.

    Lindor matched a season high in RBI in what was arguably his best game of the year at the plate, totaling a season-high seven bases. It's been a difficult campaign for the star shortstop amid injury, poor play and trade rumors, so perhaps Sunday's showing will get him going. Through 184 plate appearances, Lindor is slashing .220/.304/.390 with six homers, 18 RBI, two stolen bases and 23 runs scored.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Homers in win over A's

    Abrams went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

    Abrams is up to a career-high 21 homers on the season, including four over his last 13 games. He has gone 15-for-52 (.288) with 11 RBI and two stolen bases in that span. Overall, the shortstop is batting .277 with an .869 OPS, 70 RBI, 58 runs scored, 19 doubles, two triples and 15 steals over 96 contests.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Goes yard in loss

    Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

    Adames launched a home run to right field in the sixth inning, recording his second homer in his last two games. The veteran shortstop has recorded at least one hit in three straight games and is now batting .222 with 10 RBI, seven runs scored, three long balls and a stolen base across 51 plate appearances in July. He's slashing .230/.280/.432 with 47 runs scored, 42 RBI, 17 home runs and two stolen bases in 393 plate appearances this season.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Idle Sunday

    Lopez (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee.

    After taking a groundball off his right ring finger in the second inning of Saturday's game, Lopez will be on the bench for the series finale against Milwaukee. Javier Sanoja will play shortstop and bat cleanup in Lopez's absence Sunday.
