  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Tallies 10th stolen base

    Meidroth went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Giants.

    Meidroth has struggled of late, as Sunday marked just his second multi-hit effort in his last 10 starts. He's gone a total of 8-for-38 in that span, though he has also managed to work five walks. Meidroth also tallied just his second stolen base since May 23 -- bringing his total on the season to 10 -- and has also been thrown out twice in that stretch.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Swipes bag, knocks in two

    Lopez went 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Lopez got a rare look at leadoff while Xavier Edwards rested for Sunday's game. Lopez has certainly earned the opportunity to fill in atop the lineup -- he's hit safely in his last 10 games, going 17-for-41 (.415) with 15 RBI in that span. The infielder has lifted his batting average from .230 to .260 during the streak, and he's added a .723 OPS, eight home runs, 40 RBI, 36 runs scored and nine steals over 67 contests this season.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Delivers clutch homer

    Seager went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a sacrifice fly during Sunday's 6-4 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

    All three of Seager's RBI came in extra innings, as he swatted a game-tying two-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning and plated Kyle Higashioka on a sac fly in the 12th. Seager has homered in three consecutive games and boasts a five-game hit streak. During that five-game stretch, Seager is 6-for-18 (.333) with six runs scored and seven RBI.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Swats homer, two doubles

    Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and two doubles in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

    Bogaerts notched his second homer of the month when he popped a 389-foot solo shot off Cincinnati starter Nick Lodolo in the fourth. The San Diego shortstop also roped his 16th and 17th two-baggers of the season in this contest to tally his fourth performance with three or more hits in June. Through 327 total plate appearances, Bogaerts is slashing .251/.327/.362 with five homers, 13 steals, 35 runs scored and 30 RBI.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Tossed from Sunday's contest

    Volpe went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's game against the Athletics before he was ejected following the eighth inning for arguing balls and strikes, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

    During his fifth and final plate appearance of the afternoon, Volpe took issue with a checked swing that was called for a strikeout and was tossed from the game by the first-base umpire. Oswald Peraza shifted over from second base to cover Volpe's spot at shortstop in the top of the ninth inning.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Resting up Sunday

    Edwards is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Edwards will get a routine day off for the series finale in Arizona after he had started in each of the Marlins' last 13 games. Jack Winkler will fill in at second base and will bat eighth while Edwards hits the bench.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Remaining on bench Sunday

    Neto (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Neto will miss a fourth consecutive start after he jammed his right shoulder while attempting to steal a base Tuesday versus Boston. However, the 24-year-old appeared as a pinch hitter in both of Friday's and Saturday's contests, which indicates that he isn't dealing with a serious injury. Kevin Newman will make another start at shortstop for the Halos on Sunday.

  • Ryan Ritter SS | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Getting Sunday off

    Ritter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Ritter will hit the bench after he went 2-for-9 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored while starting in each of the past three games. Orlando Arcia will replace Ritter at shortstop Sunday.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Absence continuing Sunday

    Pena (ribs) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Pena will sit for a second consecutive game, as he's still feeling sore after being hit by a pitch Friday. The 27-year-old shortstop will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery ahead of a trip to Coors Field beginning Tuesday. Mauricio Dubon will fill in at shortstop again Sunday.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Suffers ankle sprain Sunday

    Arias was diagnosed with a left ankle sprain after exiting in the third inning of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. He went 0-for-1 at the plate prior to exiting the contest.

    Arias appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario after he needed to be carted off the field when he sustained a painful-looking ankle injury while attempting to track down a groundball. X-rays on the ankle returned negative, but his sprain could still be significant enough to force him to the injured list.
