  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Slugs homer No. 20

    Story went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 12-1 rout of the Yankees.

    The shortstop got the Red Sox on the board with a two-run double in the third inning before launching his 20th homer of the season in the fifth, a solo shot off Will Warren. It's the first time since he left Colorado after the 2021 campaign that Story has reached the 20-homer plateau, and the blast gave him his fourth 20-20 season. His next long ball will be the 200th of his career.

  • Nick Allen SS | ATL

    Braves' Nick Allen: Rare day off

    Allen is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    Allen's streak of 71 consecutive starts will end Saturday, as Vidal Brujan steps in to play shortstop and bat ninth. During that 71-game stretch, Allen slashed .211/.277/.240 with six doubles, 19 runs scored and nine RBI.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Still out Saturday

    Lopez (illness) isn't starting Saturday's contest against the Blue Jays.

    Lopez had to be scratched from Friday's lineup due to an illness, and he's slated to miss at least one more game. Maximo Acosta is Miami's starting shortstop Saturday with Lopez out of action.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Swipes two bags in win

    Lindor went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Friday's win over Atlanta.

    The shortstop stayed hot as the Mets' leadoff hitter, extending his hitting streak to 10 games -- a stretch in which he's batting a stunning .512 (22-for-43) with four homers, four steals, eight RBI and 12 runs. Lindor's surge has pushed him back up to a .797 OPS on the season, and he sits three stolen bases away from his third straight 25-25 campaign.

  • Maximo Acosta SS | MIA

    Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Goes yard in second straight game

    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.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Showcases power Friday

    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.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Leads offense in Friday's win

    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.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Collects one RBI in return

    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.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Launches two homers

    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.

  • Rays' Carson Williams: Goes yard in major-league debut

    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.
