Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a double in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

Nothing has been able to slow down Perdomo, whether he's hitting at the top of the order in place of an injured Ketel Marte or back down in his familiar ninth spot. Since Marte's return, Perdomo is batting .375 (9-for-24) with a .964 OPS from the bottom of the order. While filling in for Marte, he had a 1.101 OPS from the leadoff spot and an .836 OPS when hitting second. Perdomo has generated more barrels and harder contact in 2025 while getting the ball in the air more often than he had in previous seasons.

Walls went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and was caught stealing in Thursday's game against the Phillies.

Walls started his fifth straight game at shortstop and has gone 7-for-17 at the plate in that span. He also has four runs scored in that stretch, while raising his average to .205. As the latter number indicates, Walls is a light hitter, limiting his fantasy appeal even if he continues to get consistent at-bats.

Sweeney went 4-for-8 with four runs scored in Thursday's doubleheader sweep over the Rockies.

Sweeney has hit safely in his last eight games and has racked up four straight multi-hit efforts. During the hitting streak, he has gone 15-for-32 (.469) with two home runs, one double, seven RBI and nine runs scored. The shortstop has carved out a near-everyday role in recent weeks after beginning the year in a platoon with Javier Baez, who is now in the outfield. When the streak started, Sweeney was hitting .198, but he's up to .269 with a .732 OPS, three homers, 15 RBI, 23 runs and two stolen bases across 37 contests on the year.

Witt went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Thursday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.

It was another standout effort from Witt, who's gone 10-for-22 (.455) with six extra-base hits and four steals in his last five contests. The star shortstop is now slashing .325/.392/.530 with five homers, 23 RBI, 25 runs scored and 13 steals across 171 plate appearances this season.

Trejo isn't in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

After going 0-for-2 with a sacrifice fly in the early game, Trejo will get a chance to rest during the nightcap while Kyle Farmer starts at shortstop and bats seventh.

Simpson is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Phillies, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Tough southpaw Jesus Luzardo is on the bump for the Phillies, so the Rays will give the lefty-hitting Simpson a breather. They are starting fellow left-handed-swinging Kameron Misner in center field for the series finale.

Workman (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Workman had made just one start for the White Sox before going down with a right hip flexor strain earlier this month. However, he has been cleared for games again and could be activated close to when he's first eligible Sunday.

Almeyda (shoulder) has gone 3-for-7 with a triple, a walk, a stolen base, two runs and three RBI in three games for the Orioles' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate.

Almeyda didn't play after July 25 last season due to a right shoulder injury, but the 19-year-old appears to have moved past the issue at some point prior to the start of the 2025 FCL campaign. He finished the 2024 season with a .200/.337/.316 slash line to go with five home runs and 12 stolen bases over 53 games in the FCL.

Seager is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Boston.

Seager started each of the Rangers' first four games upon his activation from the injured list, but he'll get some rest for Thursday's matinee. Josh Smith will handle shortstop and bat leadoff for Texas.

Wilson went 4-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

Wilson has been on a tear at the plate, recording multiple hits in four of his last five games -- he's gone 12-for-21 (.571) with a 1.275 OPS in that span. The rookie shortstop has boosted his slash line to .357/.383/.476 across 150 plate appearances this season with three homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored and a stolen base.
