  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Exits with bruised wrist

    Turner was removed from Monday's game against the Marlins due to a bruised right wrist, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Turner was hit by a pitch on his right hand earlier in the game, and he's presumably being sent for further testing. Alec Bohm entered the game at third base and Edmundo Sosa shifted over to shortstop following Turner's departure. He can be considered day-to-day until the Phillies have more information to share.

  • Grae Kessinger SS | NYM

    Mets' Grae Kessinger: Back from IL

    Kessinger (hamstring) has gone 2-for-19 (.105 average) with five RBI in five games since Triple-A Syracuse reinstated him from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Kessinger is back in action for Syracuse after completing his recovery from the significant left hamstring injury he sustained early in spring training. Before reporting to Triple-A, Kessinger slashed .172/.442/.414 with one home run, one stolen base and a 11:12 BB:K in 10 games between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and High-A Brooklyn.

  • Zack Short SS | NYM

    Mets' Zack Short: Scooped up by Mets via waivers

    The Mets claimed Short off waivers from the Tigers on Monday.

    Short had been designated for assignment late last week. The 31-year-old does not have minor-league options remaining, so he will report directly to the Mets and provide some experienced infield depth.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Nearing rehab assignment

    De La Cruz (hamstring) could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment this weekend at a yet-to-be-determined affiliate, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

    The Reds plan to have De La Cruz test his strained right hamstring by running the bases Monday and Tuesday, and if all goes well, the 24-year-old will join a minor-league affiliate for what would presumably be a short rehab stint before he returns to the big club next week. While De La Cruz has been shelved, Matt McLain has taken over as the Reds' primary shortstop, which has cleared the way for Edwin Arroyo and Spencer Steer to pick up more reps at second base.

  • Brewers' Josh Adamczewski: Advances to Double-A

    The Brewers promoted Adamczewski from High-A Wisconsin to Double-A Biloxi on Monday.

    Adamczewski earned the promotion after producing a ridiculous .331/.464/.572 batting line with nine home runs, 10 stolen bases and a 41:40 BB:K in 50 games at Wisconsin. The 21-year-old has made all of his starts in left field this season, but Adamczewski is also capable of handling second base.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homer, stolen base in win

    Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

    Perdomo put the Diamondbacks ahead in the sixth inning with his 400-foot blast off Tejay Antone, his fourth of the year and first in 15 games. Perdomo got off to a slow start this season, though he's started to swing the bat better of late, going 14-for-39 (.359) with an .892 OPS in his last 12 contests. Overall, he's slashing .244/.350/.359 across 284 plate appearances this season with 24 RBI, 30 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.

  • Mookie Betts SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Launches seventh homer Sunday

    Betts went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox.

    Betts provided some late offense for Los Angeles, taking Grant Taylor deep in the eighth inning for a solo shot. The homer was his seventh of the season and his first in 15 games, ending a power drought where he batted just .188 with one RBI. He also stole his first base of 2026 in the fourth inning. Through 37 games, Betts is slashing just .204 with a .641 OPS.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Three hits in return

    Tovar went 3-for-6 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Athletics.

    Tovar missed a couple of games due to calf soreness. The shortstop played the bulk of this blowout, though Edouard Julien was brought in at second base with Willi Castro moving over to short in the eighth inning. It looks like Tovar should be good to handle a starting role again moving forward. He's hitting .231 (9-for-39) in June, and he's up to .218 on the year with a .605 OPS, five home runs, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored, 14 doubles and four stolen bases over 67 contests.

  • Cooper Pratt SS | MIL

    Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Headed for call-up

    Pratt was removed Sunday from Triple-A Nashville's game against Durham prior to the sixth inning and will be recalled prior to the Brewers' next game Tuesday against the Guardians, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    The 21-year-old's eventual promotion to the majors seemed inevitable at some point in 2026, after he signed an eight-year, $50 million extension with Milwaukee in early April. Though Pratt has posted a modest .735 OPS at Triple-A this season, he's been running hot since mid-May, batting .281 with four home runs and six stolen bases while walking at a 10.1 percent clip over his last 25 games with Nashville. Pratt has played exclusively at shortstop since 2024, so the Brewers could have him displace Joey Ortiz (.561 OPS over 170 plate appearances on the season) as their primary option at the position.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Taking seat Sunday

    Winn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Rookie JJ Wetherholt will slide over from his usual spot at second base to make his first MLB start at shortstop. Winn had started the last five games, going 3-for-20 with a double, a stolen base, two walks, four runs and two RBI during that stretch.
