Acosta went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Starting at shortstop and batting ninth as a late replacement for Otto Lopez (illness), Acosta took Yariel Rodriguez deep in the eighth inning. It was the second straight game with a homer for the 22-year-old infielder, with the two longs balls accounting for his only hits in 14 plate appearances over his first four MLB contests. Lopez isn't like to miss much more time, but Acosta is beginning to make a case for more playing time over the final weeks of the season.

Montgomery went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Saturday against the Twins.

Montgomery has showcased his power consistently for the last month, with all 11 of his home runs coming in his last 26 starts. After a one-game absence earlier in the week due to side soreness, Montgomery has returned to start a pair of consecutive games and should be a mainstay in the White Sox's lineup moving forward.

Pena went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Friday's 10-7 win over the Orioles.

The shortstop took Cade Povich deep for a three-run shot in the third inning as part of a four-run frame that gave the Astros a lead they would never relinquish. Pena has 14 long balls on the season, with three of them coming in his last 12 games, but he's otherwise struggled to build any momentum over that stretch, managing a .213/.288/.447 slash line with two steals, four runs and six RBI.

Wilson (forearm) went 1-for-4 with one RBI in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

Wilson missed four weeks with a left forearm fracture. He was able to supply his RBI as the Athletics tried to mount a comeback in the ninth inning that ultimately fell short. The 23-year-old is set to resume his role as starting shortstop. He's at a .311/.353/.437 slash line with 10 home runs, 46 RBI, 46 runs scored and five stolen bases over 95 contests, so fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to activate him.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Friday's 5-4 loss against the Brewers.

The shortstop opened the scoring with a blast off Jose Quintana in the first inning and added another solo shot against Aaron Ashby in the eighth, giving the 29-year-old his 21st and 22nd homers on the year. Adames has now gone deep in back-to-back games and recorded his third multi-homer performance of the season. Across 127 contests, he's slashing .224/.312/.410 with 65 RBI, 76 runs scored and six stolen bases.

Williams went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-6 win over the Cardinals.

Making his big-league debut, Williams went deep in the seventh inning to give the Rays a 9-6 lead. As long as Ha-Seong Kim (back) is on the 10-day injured list, Williams should be able to handle everyday reps as Tampa Bay's shortstop. Williams slashed a pedestrian .213/.318/.447 with 55 RBI but did launch 23 homers and steal 22 bases over 451 plate appearances with Triple-A Durham in 2025, so fantasy managers in deeper settings can consider adding the rookie infielder for his power and speed potential.

Lopez was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays due to a stomach illness, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Lopez was a late scratch from Friday's lineup, though it sounds like he may not have to miss any additional games. Maximo Acosta will start at shortstop and bat ninth due to Lopez's illness.

Acosta will bat ninth and play shortstop Friday against the Blue Jays.

Acosta will enter the starting nine Friday after Otto Lopez (undisclosed) was scratched. Acosta has gone 1-for-10 with a solo home run in his first taste of MLB action. The 22-year-old posted a .711 OPS in 431 plate appearances with Triple-A Jacksonville.

Lopez was scratched from the Marlins' lineup against the Blue Jays on Friday for an undisclosed reason.

An update on why Lopez was removed from the lineup should come from the Marlins during or shortly after Friday's game. Maximo Acosta will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in Lopez's absence.

Williams is starting at shortstop and batting seventh against the Cardinals on Friday.

Williams should see regular playing time at shortstop while Ha-Seong Kim (back) is on the 10-day injured list. Williams has had his fair share of struggles at the plate in Triple-A with a .213 batting average across 451 plate appearances, but he's also displayed his speed and power with five triples, 22 stolen bases, 23 homers and 55 RBI.
