  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Flirts with cycle

    De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Yankees.

    De La Cruz knocked an RBI triple during the Reds' three-run fourth inning and added an RBI single in the fifth. He capped off his big night with a solo shot in the eighth. It was his 18th long ball of the year and sixth in his last 11 contests. De La Cruz has gone 24-for-72 (.333) in June, raising his season slash line to .272/.348/.513 with 35 extra-base hits and 55 RBI.

  • Mikey Romero SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Mikey Romero: Returns from IL

    Romero (undisclosed) went 4-for-8 with two home runs, a double and eight RBI in two games for Double-A Portland since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

    The nature of Romero's injury remains a mystery, but he was cleared to return to action for Portland after a three-week hiatus. The 21-year-old infielder owns a .260/.341/.507 slash line with seven home runs and three stolen bases over 168 plate appearances at Portland this season.

  • Vinny Capra SS | CHW

    White Sox's Vinny Capra: Seeing limited playing time

    Capra will start at third base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Capra has been with the White Sox since he was claimed off waivers from the Brewers on May 15, but he'll be picking up just his 10th start Monday. With southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez on the hill for Arizona, the right-handed-hitting Capra will be filling in for the left-handed-hitting Josh Rojas in the White Sox infield.

  • Michael Arroyo SS | SEA

    Mariners' Michael Arroyo: Promoted to Double-A

    Arroyo has been promoted from High-A Everett to Double-A Arkansas, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Arroyo will be bumped up a level after slashing .269/.422/.512 with 15 home runs and three stolen bases over 65 contests with Everett, which includes a .309/.454/.599batting line since the start of May. He will play the entirety of the 2025 season at just 20 years of age, but Arroyo appears ready to be tested in the Texas League.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Returning to lineup in four spot

    Swanson is starting at shortstop and batting fourth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    After getting his first day off of the season Sunday, Swanson will return to the lineup Monday in St. Louis, and he's in a prime position to produce as the team's cleanup hitter against lefty starter Matthew Liberatore. Over the past three years, Swanson's OPS is 107 points higher when facing southpaws as opposed to righties.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Idle for series opener

    Smith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

    The left-handed-hitting Smith started against Pirates lefty Bailey Falter in Sunday's 8-3 loss, but he'll head to the bench for the series opener in Baltimore while the Orioles send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the bump. Jonah Heim will replace Smith in the lineup at designated hitter.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Getting day off Monday

    Seager is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore.

    Seager will get a rare day off while he battles through uncharacteristic struggles in June with a lowly .143/.313/.222 batting line so far this month. Ezequiel Duran will fill in at shortstop and bat eighth for the Rangers.

  • Padres' Jose Iglesias: Produces clutch RBI in win Sunday

    Iglesias went 1-for-2 with three RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win against the Royals.

    Iglesias didn't start but got an opportunity to impact the game upon entering as a pinch hitter for Jake Cronenworth in the seventh inning. Iglesias came through with a two-run single in that frame to tie the score, then notched a walk-off fielder's choice in the ninth. Iglesias endured an 0-for-17 stretch at the plate earlier this month but has one hit in each of his past three games, going 3-for-7 with four RBI during the latter span.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Homers off bench Sunday

    Neto swatted a solo homer as a pinch hitter in Sunday's loss to the Astros.

    Neto began the game on the bench, but he entered as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and went deep to left field to bring the Angels to within a run. The long ball snapped a 17-game homerless stretch for the talented young shortstop. Despite that drought, Neto has had a decent June overall, posting a .272/.322/.432 slash line with two homers, seven RBI, 15 runs and four stolen bases through 20 contests.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: On base four times Sunday

    Edwards went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

    The 25-year-old infielder continues to pile up hits in June. Edwards is slashing .357/.430/.414 through 18 contests on the month, and while a lack of power still limits his fantasy ceiling -- he has yet to hit a homer in 2025 -- he's supplied three steals, five RBI and 10 runs during that span as the Marlins' leadoff hitter.
