  • Jose Caballero SS | NYY

    Yankees' Jose Caballero: Crushes two homers Monday

    Caballero went 2-for-3 with two home runs and four RBI during the Yankees' 5-1 win over the Rays on Monday.

    Monday's game was scoreless until Caballero smacked a three-run homer off Griffin Jax in the fifth inning, and the former followed that up with a solo shot in the eighth that gave the Yankees a 4-1 lead. It was Cabellero's first multi-homer game since Aug. 19, 2025 against Tampa Bay, and the 29-year-old infielder is up to 10 long balls on the season. He is slashing .249/.304/.407 with 20 steals and 33 RBI across 277 plate appearances this season.

  • Kaeden Kent SS | NYY

    Yankees' Kaeden Kent: Lands on MiLB IL

    Kent was placed on the 7-day injured list Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Conor Foley of YES Network reports.

    Kent has been seeing the ball well at High-A Hudson Valley, hitting .307 with six home runs, 43 RBI, 20 stolen bases and 56 runs scored over 76 games this season. However, he'll head to the shelf for at least the next week while on the mend from an unknown injury.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Taking seat Monday

    Bogaerts is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    He's receiving a routine day after after starting each of the previous 22 contests. Sung-Mun Song will fill in at shortstop for the Padres in Bogaerts' stead.

  • Royals' Tyler Tolbert: Career-high five hits Monday

    Tolbert went 5-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI double during the Royals' 15-1 win over the Phillies on Monday.

    The bats were hot for the Royals on Monday, with seven of the nine starters logging at least two hits and five players -- including Tolbert -- driving in at least two runs. However, the 28-year-old Tolbert stood out from his teammates with a career-high five hits -- including his first home run of the season -- while falling a triple shy from the cycle. Thanks to Monday's performance, he is now slashing .333/.383/.429 with nine steals, three RBI, two extra-base hits and 13 runs scored across 48 plate appearances.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Logs three hits in Monday's loss

    Turner went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored during the Phillies' 15-1 loss to the Royals on Monday.

    Turner opened Monday's game with a leadoff double and was brought home on an Alec Bohm double that turned out to be the Phillies' lone run in the loss. It was the 22nd multi-hit game of the season for Turner (eighth in his last 13 outings) and the fifth time he's recorded at least three hits. He has gone 11-for-32 (.344) with three home runs and seven RBI over his last seven games.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Kicking off rehab Tuesday

    Pena (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Pena is less than a week removed from landing on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain, but he's made enough progress to test himself in a game setting. The expectation is that Pena will play a couple rehab contests before being activated from the IL on Friday when first eligible.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Heading to bench Monday

    Volpe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    Volpe had started in four of the Yankees' previous five games but went just 3-for-17 with a walk during that stretch. Jose Caballero will cover Volpe's usual spot at shortstop in the series opener.

  • Astros' Braden Shewmake: Activated, will start Monday

    The Astros reinstated Shewmake (adductor) from the 10-day injured list Monday, and he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in the team's series opener in Washington, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Shewmake is back with Houston after a right adductor strain kept him on the shelf for just over a month. The 28-year-old completed a four-game rehab assignment between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Triple-A Sugar Land over the past week, going 3-for-11 with two doubles, three walks and one stolen base. Shewmake could temporarily supplant Nick Allen as the Astros' preferred option at shortstop, though both will be relegated to bench roles when Jeremy Pena (calf) likely makes his return from the IL later this week.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Scores twice in defeat

    Adames went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies.

    Adames singled in the second inning before coming around to score, and he drew a walk in the sixth before scoring again. The 30-year-old shortstop has recorded at least one hit in seven of his last nine outings, batting .313 with six runs scored, three RBI, a home run and a stolen base in 36 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .232/.279/.428 with 43 runs scored, 34 RBI, 14 long balls and two stolen bases across 355 plate appearances this season.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Taking part in full activities

    The Red Sox announced June 28 that Story (sports hernia) is taking part in full baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

    Story hasn't yet been cleared to do every activity at 100 percent intensity, so until he reaches that benchmark in his recovery from sports hernia surgery, he won't be ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 33-year-old shortstop previously said that he expected to miss around eight weeks after undergoing surgery May 21, so he may have a shot at returning from the 60-day injured list at some point shortly after the All-Star break.
