  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Good to go Wednesday

    Wilson (neck) is starting at shortstop and batting second Wednesday against the Twins, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    The 23-year-old sat out Tuesday's contest after he tweaked his neck during Monday's series opener versus Minnesota, but he'll rejoin the starting nine after missing just one game. Wilson has been on fire at the plate over the past couple weeks with a .426 average (23-for-54), four doubles, two homers, three steals, six RBI and six runs in his past 14 games.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Playing time dwindling

    Sweeney is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the White Sox.

    The left-handed-hitting Sweeney has now started just one of the last four games for the Tigers. The White Sox are starting a lefty opener Wednesday in Jared Shuster, but Sweeney's absence could be more about the Tigers prioritizing playing time for Zach McKinstry -- who is at shortstop Wednesday -- and Javier Baez.

  • Bryce Rainer SS | DET

    Tigers' Bryce Rainer: Suffers shoulder injury Tuesday

    Rainer was removed Tuesday from Single-A Lakeland's 4-3 win over Daytona after injuring his right shoulder while diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt, Lynn Henning of The Detroit News reports.

    Rainer was spotted after the game with his arm in a sling, so the 19-year-old looks as though he could be at risk of landing on Lakeland's injured list. The injury is unfortunate timing for Rainer, who had been building a strong case for a promotion to High-A West Michigan. The young shortstop has slashed .288/.383/.448 with five home runs, nine stolen bases and a 22.1 percent strikeout rate in 149 plate appearances in the Florida State League.

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Expected back in lineup Wednesday

    Wilson (neck) is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, MLB.com reports.

    Wilson had to sit out Tuesday's contest after tweaking his neck on a dive back into first base during Monday's game. He felt much better by the end of the night Tuesday and it appears it will be just a one-day absence for the rookie shortstop.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Swats key homer Tuesday

    Volpe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win over Cleveland.

    Volpe went deep in the seventh inning to give New York a 3-1 lead. The insurance run proved to be significant, as the Guardians scored once in the ninth but were unable to come all the way back from the deficit. Volpe's long ball snapped a 17-game homerless streak during which he batted just .226 over 62 at-bats, though he did knock in nine runs and log eight extra-base hits (six doubles and two triples) during the power drought. The shortstop has seven homers, seven steals, 34 RBI and a .760 OPS through 58 games on the season.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Taking seat in series finale

    Story is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Angels.

    Story went 1-for-8 with four strikeouts in the first two games of the series and will get some rest for Wednesday's finale. David Hamilton will start at shortstop and bat eighth as the Red Sox try to avoid the sweep.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Resting up Wednesday

    Edwards is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    The Marlins are wrapping up their series against Colorado with a day game after a night game, so Edwards is likely just getting a breather after he recently made his return from the injured list. Since being activated Saturday after he was on the shelf for just under two weeks due to a mid-back strain, Edwards has gone 7-for-13 with a double, a walk, two runs and an RBI in four games.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Homers twice Tuesday

    Turner went 3-for-5 with two homers and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

    Turner kicked off a six-run first inning with a two-run homer off Bowden Francis and later added some insurance with a solo blast in the eighth. This was his eighth game this season with at least three hits and his first with multiple homers. In 14 games since May 19, Turner is hitting .339/.394/.678 with five homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs, six steals and a 5:9 BB:K.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Two hits in return

    Betts (toe) went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mets.

    Betts missed nearly a week while dealing with a fracture on the tip of a toe on his left foot. The 32-year-old returned to his usual spot at shortstop and played all 10 innings, so it looks like he'll be good to go as long as he avoids setbacks. Prior to his absence, he had gone six games without a multi-hit effort. Betts is at a .257/.339/.405 slash line, eight home runs, 31 RBI, 43 runs scored and five stolen bases over 54 contests this season, and it wouldn't be surprising if he took a cautious approach on the basepaths until his toe is 100 percent.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Racks up four RBI in multi-hit game

    Witt went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.

    It was a strong bounce-back effort by Witt, who had gone just 6-for-36 over his previous nine games. Tuesday also marked his first multi-hit outing since May 21, and the All-Star shortstop is now slashing .287/.346/.494 with seven home runs, 22 doubles, 35 RBI and 20 stolen bases over 266 plate appearances in 2025. Witt trails only Luis Robert in steals in the American League so far.
