Adames went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Rays.

Adames had gone 12 appearances without an extra-base hit entering Sunday's contest, batting .078 in 52 plate appearances during that span. He snapped that drought in the seventh inning Sunday, collecting his 11th two-bagger of the season. It's been a rough start to the campaign for both the Giants and Adames, as the shortstop is now slashing .195/.236/.346 with 12 runs scored, six RBI and three home runs across 140 plate appearances.

Winn went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Winn had a solid series at the plate against Los Angeles, going 5-for-11 with a double. He's now posted multiple hits in eight of his last 13 games and is 19-for-52 (.365) during that span with three doubles, a triple, eight RBI, six runs scored, two stolen bases and a 2:11 BB:K. Winn now has his average up to .273 with a .726 OPS across 125 trips to the plate this season.

Schmitt went 2-for-4 with an RBI and stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rays.

Schmitt was the only Giants player to log multiple hits, accounting for two of the team's six knocks. Schmitt has hits in five straight games and eight of his last nine. Seeing the vast majority of his at-bats as the designated hitter after a tumultuous start to the season as the Giants' first baseman, Schmitt is slashing .308/.354/.519 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 4:22 BB:K across 113 plate appearances.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

Bogaerts singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and also swiped a bag after getting on base. The shortstop's effort Sunday was enough to end just his third multi-game stretch without a hit this season. His consistency is evident in a .269 batting average and .763 OPS, and he's added five home runs, 18 RBI, 15 runs scored, four steals and two doubles over 32 contests. Bogaerts has a firm grasp on a starting role in the middle of the Padres' lineup.

Mateo went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Sunday's 11-6 win over Colorado.

Mateo drew his fourth straight start at shortstop and delivered with his second homer of the season, a two-run blast off Kyle Freeland in the second inning to go back-to-back with Jonah Heim. Mateo has generally been effective when called upon in 2026, as the veteran speedster is hitting .286/.318/.476 with two homers, two doubles, five RBI, 12 runs and three steals across 44 plate appearances.

The Yankees reinstated Volpe (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Volpe is healthy again after being shelved to begin the season while completing his recovery from the left shoulder surgery that he underwent Oct. 14, but the Yankees aren't yet willing to commit to using him in an everyday role at the big-league level. With his 20-day rehab window coming to a close Sunday, the 25-year-old will end up sticking around in the minors while the Yankees proceed with Jose Caballero as their primary shortstop. Volpe had split time between Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Somerset over his rehab assignment and wasn't overly impressive, slashing .250/.306/.318 with one extra-base hit and two stolen bases over 13 games. Volpe will continue to play on a regular basis at Triple-A, and if he's able to show improvement at the plate and/or if Jose Caballero's performance regresses, the Yankees could turn shortstop duties back over to Volpe at some point later this season.

The Guardians promoted Genao from Double-A Akron to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

After posting a .682 OPS over 77 games with Akron in 2025, Genao improved that mark by more than 100 points this season to earn the bump up to Triple-A. The 21-year-old shortstop hasn't displayed much growth in the power department, but he's made stark improvement with his plate discipline. He walked in 21.6 percent of his 105 plate appearances in 2026, well above the 8.6 percent walk rate he posted a season ago.

The Blue Jays promoted Nimmala from High-A Vancouver to Double-A New Hampshire on Sunday.

Nimmala will make the jump to Double-A after submitting a .241/.362/.483 slash line with four home runs and two stolen bases over 105 plate appearances for Vancouver to begin the season. Not set to turn 21 years old until October, Nimmala will be one of the youngest players in the Eastern League, so if he can produce at even a league-average level for New Hampshire, it would bode well for his chances of emerging as the everyday shortstop for Toronto at some point in 2027.

Martinez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

He'll head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Guardians go with Steven Kwan, Petey Halpin and Chase DeLauter as their starting outfield from left to right. During his lone start in Sacramento, Martinez went 3-for-6 with a run scored in Saturday's 14-6 win, lifting his season average up to .275.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said this weekend that a decision hasn't been made if Volpe (shoulder) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Volpe remains on assignment in the minors with Double-A Somerset, but his 20-day rehab window will come to a close following the weekend. Through his first 12 games between Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Volpe has slashed .275/.333/.350 with an 8.9 percent walk rate and 20 percent strikeout rate, but it's unclear if that level of production will be enough for the Yankees to reinstall him as their everyday shortstop in place of Jose Caballero (.719 OPS over 120 plate appearances). As Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News notes, Caballero hasn't been practicing at other infield positions in anticipation of Volpe's return, and Volpe has worked exclusively as a shortstop since 2023. Volpe has minor-league options remaining, so the Yankees could elect to activate him from the IL and send him to Triple-A if they don't believe he's an upgrade over Caballero but want to have him continue playing on an everyday basis.
