Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Breaks out of slump
Correa went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's victory over the White Sox. He ended an 0-for-18 streak to begin the season.
Correa had been hitting the ball hard his first four games but came up empty before Wednesday. He looks back on track but more importantly is healthy after playing just 86 games last season due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Swats first homer
Story went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Baltimore.
Story went deep for the first time in 2025, taking the first pitch he saw in the second inning over the fence in center field. While all eyes were focused on the historically slow start of teammate Rafael Devers, Story's 2-for-15 start (.133) flew under the radar.

Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Swipes bag in loss
De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Texas.
De La Cruz doubled then stole third base in the fourth inning but was left on base. The steal was De La Cruz's second of the season. Through six games, he's batting .333 (8-for-24) and is the lone Reds regular with an average above .250.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Extends hitting streak to seven
Wilson went 3-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Cubs.
Wilson was responsible for three of the Athletics' five hits Wednesday, including his first double of the season in the ninth inning. Wilson has logged a hit in each of the first seven games of the 2025 season and is slashing .375/.375/.542 with three runs scored, one home run and two RBI.

Trey Sweeney SS | DET
Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Pops first home run
Sweeney went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.
Sweeney popped his first home run of the season in the fifth inning against Seattle starter Luis Castillo. While it was the young shortstop's first extra-base hit of the year as well, he's still performed respectably with a .273 average and .713 OPS in the early going. As a rookie in 2024, Sweeney batted .218 with a .642 OPS during the regular season. The 24-year-old could be primed to take a step forward in 2025, and he figures to start at short most days against righties, with Javier Baez subbing in versus southpaws.

Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW
White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Goes yard Wednesday
Baldwin went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Twins.
The 24-year-old switch hitter spoiled a shutout bid by Pablo Lopez with his seventh-inning blast. It was Baldwin's first long ball of the season, and he's making a case to take over the starting shortstop job for the White Sox with a five-game hitting streak to begin the season, during which he's batting .357 (5-for-14).

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Smacks solo homer Wednesday
Abrams went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Toronto.
Abrams got the Nationals on the board in the sixth inning, when he took Brendon Little deep for a 386-foot solo homer to right field. Abrams had a productive series in Toronto despite Washington being swept, with the 24-year-old shortstop going 5-for-12 with two doubles, three runs, two home runs and three RBI. The Nationals have an off day Thursday before starting a three-game home series against the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Gunnar Henderson SS | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Availability for Thursday uncertain
Henderson (intercostal) is scheduled to play 7-to-9 innings in the field Wednesday in his final rehab game for Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Though Henderson is poised to rejoin the big club immediately after completing the rehab assignment, the Orioles may not be keen on reinstating him from the 10-day injured list ahead of Thursday's game against the Red Sox, which begins at 1:05 p.m. ET. Before making a decision on whether to activate Henderson on Thursday or to delay his season debut until the weekend, the Orioles will wait and see how Henderson is feeling physically coming out of Wednesday's contest. After straining his right intercostal Feb. 27 and landing on the IL, Henderson has looked healthy through his first four rehab games, going 5-for-16 with a pair of home runs. Manager Brandon Hyde reiterated that Henderson will serve as the Orioles' everyday shortstop and leadoff hitter once he's activated.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Returning to lineup Wednesday
Turner (back) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.
Turner will make his first start since Opening Day, as he's been battling lower-back spasms. He appeared as a pinch hitter in Monday's 6-1 win and is back in the lineup for the second game of the series Wednesday.
