  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Swipes two bases Sunday

    Witt went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two steals in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Houston.

    Witt's activity on the bases continued Sunday, as he recorded his ninth steal of the month and third multi-steal effort of the campaign to boost his season total to 26 stolen bases. The star shortstop is currently riding a modest five-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 9-for-22 (.409) with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored. Overall, Witt is hitting .287/.358/.455 with nine homers, 19 doubles, a triple, 28 RBI and 36 runs scored across 72 games this year.

  • Brewers' Josh Adamczewski: Advances to Double-A

    The Brewers promoted Adamczewski from High-A Wisconsin to Double-A Biloxi on Monday.

    Adamczewski earned the promotion after producing a ridiculous .331/.464/.572 batting line with nine home runs, 10 stolen bases and a 41:40 BB:K in 50 games at Wisconsin. The 21-year-old has made all of his starts in left field this season, but Adamczewski is also capable of handling second base.

  • Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Tending to glute injury

    Culpepper exited early Saturday in Triple-A St. Paul's win over Toledo due to glute tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    The 23-year-old shortstop appears ready to make his big-league debut after having thus far produced a .273/.377/.498 slash line with 14 home runs and 15 steals over 61 games with St. Paul, but his first order of business will be recovering from the glute injury. Per Emily Waldon of Baseball America, the Twins don't view the issue as a major concern, as Culpepper is expected to avoid a stint on the 7-day injured list and return to the St. Paul lineup in 3-to-5 days.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homer, stolen base in win

    Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

    Perdomo put the Diamondbacks ahead in the sixth inning with his 400-foot blast off Tejay Antone, his fourth of the year and first in 15 games. Perdomo got off to a slow start this season, though he's started to swing the bat better of late, going 14-for-39 (.359) with an .892 OPS in his last 12 contests. Overall, he's slashing .244/.350/.359 across 284 plate appearances this season with 24 RBI, 30 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.

  • Mookie Betts SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Launches seventh homer Sunday

    Betts went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox.

    Betts provided some late offense for Los Angeles, taking Grant Taylor deep in the eighth inning for a solo shot. The homer was his seventh of the season and his first in 15 games, ending a power drought where he batted just .188 with one RBI. He also stole his first base of 2026 in the fourth inning. Through 37 games, Betts is slashing just .204 with a .641 OPS.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Three hits in return

    Tovar went 3-for-6 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Athletics.

    Tovar missed a couple of games due to calf soreness. The shortstop played the bulk of this blowout, though Edouard Julien was brought in at second base with Willi Castro moving over to short in the eighth inning. It looks like Tovar should be good to handle a starting role again moving forward. He's hitting .231 (9-for-39) in June, and he's up to .218 on the year with a .605 OPS, five home runs, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored, 14 doubles and four stolen bases over 67 contests.

  • Caleb Bonemer SS | CHW

    White Sox's Caleb Bonemer: Promoted to Double-A

    Bonemer was promoted to Double-A Birmingham on Sunday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Bonemer will move up a level in Chicago's minor-league farm system, joining the Double-A squad after posting a .238 average with 18 home runs, 43 RBI, 52 runs and 10 stolen bases over 223 at-bats in 61 games with High-A Winston-Salem this year. The 20-year-old is considered to be the top overall prospect for the White Sox, and he'll look to build off of his impressive power numbers at the next level.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Dealing with concussion symptoms

    Seager (ribs/jaw) is dealing with concussion symptoms, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Seager is set to be sidelined for a third consecutive game Sunday night against the Red Sox as he continues to recover from his collison with Carter Jensen at home plate Thursday. Manager Skip Schumaker outlined that the shortstop is experiencing "mild" concussion symptoms, so it's unclear how close he is to returning to the lineup. Ezequiel Duran is drawing the start at shortstop and batting fourth in Sunday night's series finale in Boston.

  • Cooper Pratt SS | MIL

    Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Headed for call-up

    Pratt was removed Sunday from Triple-A Nashville's game against Durham prior to the sixth inning and will be recalled prior to the Brewers' next game Tuesday against the Guardians, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    The 21-year-old's eventual promotion to the majors seemed inevitable at some point in 2026, after he signed an eight-year, $50 million extension with Milwaukee in early April. Though Pratt has posted a modest .735 OPS at Triple-A this season, he's been running hot since mid-May, batting .281 with four home runs and six stolen bases while walking at a 10.1 percent clip over his last 25 games with Nashville. Pratt has played exclusively at shortstop since 2024, so the Brewers could have him displace Joey Ortiz (.561 OPS over 170 plate appearances on the season) as their primary option at the position.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Twins' Orlando Arcia: Pushed off 40-man roster

    The Twins designated Arcia for assignment following Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals, Audra Martin of Twins.tv reports.

    Arcia had his contract selected from Triple-A St. Paul on May 19 and produced a .271/.300/.354 slash line with one home run, two RBI and six runs in 19 contests with Minnesota. Minnesota will call up outfielder Kyler Fedko from Triple-A St. Paul to replace Arcia on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster.
