Abrams went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and a double in Monday's 6-4 victory against the Dodgers.

Abrams led off the game with a double, reached third base on a groundout and scored on a Tyler Glasnow wild pitch. He added a solo homer off Tyler Glasnow in the third inning to round out a productive night. Abrams has gone 5-for-13 over his past three games, with all five of his hits during that span going for extra bases. On the season, he has an impressive 1.004 OPS with four homers, three doubles, two triples, 10 RBI, nine runs and three stolen bases over 60 plate appearances.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 7-4 win over the Twins.

Henderson logged his fifth multi-hit effort of the season, two of which have come over his last two games. The shortstop has gone 9-for-30 (.300) with two homers and five RBI across his last seven contests, putting his struggles from earlier in May behind him. Overall, he's slashing .250/.319/.516 with four long balls, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, four stolen bases, two triples and a double through 16 games as Baltimore's leadoff hitter.

Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-0 win over the Red Sox.

Rocchio has just two hits over his last six contests, but he was able to draw a walk Monday for the first time since April 4. He's maintained the starting job at shortstop through his recent slump, though Gabriel Arias is starting to hit well and could pose a threat to Rocchio's playing time. For the season, Rocchio is batting .224 with one steal on two attempts, three RBI, five runs scored and six doubles over 53 plate appearances.

Bichette went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's win over the Yankees.

After swiping his first base of the season Friday night against Colorado, Bichette quickly added his second steal Monday against the Yankees. The Toronto shortstop only stole five bases in 2023, so it's possible he is looking to return to his running ways, as he stole 38 bases from 2021 to 2022. Bichette's first 65 plate appearances have been rough so far as he's slashing .217/.277/.333.

Seager is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Detroit.

It's a routine day off for Seager, who has now started 14 of 17 games so far this season. The Rangers are going with Josh Smith at shortstop and Ezequiel Duran at third base.

Anderson (illness) will start at shortstop and bat fourth in Monday's game versus the Giants.

Anderson missed the previous two contests with an illness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Monday. It's the first time this season that he's been up in the cleanup spot for Miami, as Anderson has mostly hit sixth or seventh.

Lopez was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Lopez earned a promotion after 15-for-26 with two home runs at Jacksonville. He's starting at third base Monday against the Giants but should ultimately settle into a utility role.

Lopez will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Monday's game against the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Lopez was claimed off waivers earlier this month and has gone 15-for-26 with two home runs at Jacksonville. The utility player should be used in a reserve role.

Hamilton is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Guardians.

Hamilton had started six of the last seven games at shortstop, but he will yield to Ceddanne Rafaela on Monday. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Wilyer Abreu will become a regular versus righties moving forward, per Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, which would seem to indicate he plans to use Rafaela more at shortstop. It could mean Hamilton squeezed out of regular at-bats.

Henderson went 2-for-3 with a stolen base, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Brewers.

Henderson hit a game-tying RBI single in the seventh inning. The shortstop has turned things around by hitting safely in five of the last six games while adding four RBI in that span. He's batting .233 on the year with a 5:16 K:BB through 67 plate appearances, but he's also provided well-rounded production in the counting stats with three home runs, four steals, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored. Henderson has yet to hit anywhere other than leadoff in 2024.
