Crawford went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Crawford has gone 18-for-42 (.429) with nine walks over his last 11 games, hitting safely in nine of those contests. The shortstop was able to make a rare contribution with speed Tuesday, logging his third steal of the season in the fifth inning. Crawford has maintained a .284/.401/.391 slash line with five home runs, 24 RBI, 28 runs scored and nine doubles across 64 games.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Dodgers.

Bogaerts was recently hampered by a shoulder issue, which may partially explain his recent 5-for-35 (.143) stretch at the plate over his previous 10 games. He broke out of the slump with three singles in Tuesday's win, while also notching his first RBI since May 27. The shortstop continues to hover between .230 and .250 with his batting average -- Tuesday's effort put him at .240 on the year. He's added a meager .649 OPS, three home runs, 13 stolen bases, 23 RBI and 27 runs scored across 65 contests this season.

Abrams went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI double, an additional double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mets in extra innings.

Abrams was 2-for-17 (.118) in his last five outings and had logged just one multi-hit game since May 18. The shortstop burst out of the slump Tuesday, and Abrams is now slashing .269/.338/.486 with nine home runs, 11 steals, 22 RBI and 37 runs this season.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Phillies.

Swanson hit his 12th home run of the season and first since May 23 to help lead the Cubs to a big victory. The shortstop is quickly nearing his 2024 total of 16 long balls. Swanson's career high in home runs is 27, which he recorded back in 2021 with Atlanta. He should continue to see regular playing time in the middle of a stacked Chicago lineup, giving him good fantasy upside the rest of the way.

Wilson reported tightness in his left hamstring before Tuesday's game against the Angels, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Manager Mark Kotsay said the decision to take Wilson out of the starting lineup before Tuesday's game was precautionary, so it doesn't seem like the rookie shortstop is in danger of missing significant time. The 23-year-old has been on fire since the start of June, slashing .500/.500/.676 across 36 plate appearances.

Wilson was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Angels.

It's currently unknown why Wilson was taken out of the starting nine Tuesday, but the A's should offer some more details in the near future. In the meantime, Max Schuemann will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

The Orioles selected Vazquez's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Vazquez has slashed .280/.345/.447 with five home runs and three stolen bases across 147 plate appearances for Norfolk in 2025. He was able to reach the majors in 2024 for the Cubs, but he was only able to etch one hit across his 14 plate appearances. In a corresponding move, Jorge Mateo was placed on the 10-day injured list.

The Orioles placed Mateo on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 7, due to left elbow inflammation.

Mateo missed the last two games for Baltimore and his absence will now extend until at least June 17. In a corresponding move, the Orioles selected Luis Vazquez from Triple-A Norfolk.

Story went 2-for-6 with an RBI in Monday's 10-8 extra-innings loss to Tampa Bay.

Story's bat continued to show life, as he logged a third consecutive multi-hit game. His revival started in the final two games of the Yankees' series, and the shortstop has gone 7-for-15 with a home run, a double and three RBI over that stretch. His season average is up to .229, its highest point since May 20.

Caballero walked in his only plate appearance and stole two bases before scoring a run against Boston on Monday.

Caballero began the game on the bench, but he still made an impact on the outcome. The utility man entered as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning, and in the ninth he walked before stealing both second and third base and coming around to score on a sacrifice fly. Caballero has been in and out of the lineup, starting just twice over Tampa Bay's past five games. However, he's brought value with his speed, as his 23 thefts are tied for most in the majors.
