Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Takes at-bats Thursday
Arias (ankle) took at-bats during a live batting practice session Thursday, MLB.com reports.
Arias was part of a BP session that featured injured starter Shane Bieber (elbow). It's an encouraging sign that Arias has returned to baseball activities after being carted off the field June 29, but as yet a return timeline for the infielder isn't clear.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Doubles twice in loss
Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 4-3 loss to San Diego.
The two doubles increased Perdomo's total to 20, the third consecutive season he's delivered at least 20 two-baggers. He's overcome a shaky beginning to June and hit safely in 16 of the last 21 contests, posting a slash line of .301/.414/.458 during that span. Other than that stretch in June, Perdomo has been remarkably consistent in 2025 and overall sports a .980 OPS with runners in scoring position, which has fueled a career-high 65 RBI through the first 93 games.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Productive in Thursday's loss
Neto went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Thursday's 11-4 loss to the Rangers.
Neto has collected two homers and four multi-hit efforts over his last eight games. Those two homers have been solo shots, accounting for all of his RBI in that span, and he's added 11 runs scored from atop the Angels' lineup. Neto continues to be consistent at the plate with a .273/.318/.485 slash line, 14 homers, 31 RBI, 57 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 74 games this season. The one downside in his recent run of success has been an uptick in strikeouts, which he has 10 of over his last five games.

Dansby Swanson SS | CHC
Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Productive in win Thursday
Swanson went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Twins.
Swanson was one of five Chicago players to record multiple hits in the easy win. The shortstop is now riding a nine-game hitting streak, and he's batting .342 this month with a home run, four RBI and seven runs scored. Swanson remains a steady fantasy performer who plays nearly every day, which gives him a stable floor for managers.

Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Homer, four hits in doubleheader
Henderson went 4-for-6 with a two-run homer, a double and an additional run scored in Thursday's doubleheader sweep of the Mets.
After starting the opening game on the bench, Henderson provided the decisive blow as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, launching a two-run homer off Ryne Stanek, his 11th of the year, to put the Orioles ahead 2-1. The 24-year-old Henderson would then add three more hits in the nightcap. It was an encouraging day for the shortstop, who'd gone just 8-for-39 (.205) in his previous nine games. Overall, Henderson's slashing .277/.343/.451 with 31 RBI, 48 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 361 plate appearances this season.

Brice Matthews SS | HOU
Astros' Brice Matthews: Joining Astros on Friday
The Astros are expected to select Matthews' contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Matthews will get a chance to show off his skills in the majors after slashing .298/.401/.504 with four homers, 16 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 31 games since the beginning of June. The Astros may look to use the 23-year-old regularly at second base while returning Jose Altuve to left field to provide aid for an outfield unit that has been hit hard by injuries recently.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Out again Thursday
Wilson (hand) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.
Wilson will sit down for a second consecutive contest Thursday after getting hit on his left hand by a pitch Tuesday. Max Muncy will pick up another start at shortstop as a result and bat sixth.

Colson Montgomery SS | CHW
White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Sitting versus southpaw
Montgomery is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Guardians.
The left-handed-hitting Montgomery started Wednesday against Blue Jays lefty Eric Lauer, but he'll grab a seat as the Guardians send southpaw Logan Allen to the bump. Chase Meidroth will play shortstop and Lenyn Sosa will be at second base for the White Sox.

Colt Emerson SS | SEA
Mariners' Colt Emerson: Adjustments paying off
Emerson is hitting .333 with three home runs, two steals and a 12:12 K:BB in his last 20 games for High-A Everett.
Emerson is slashing .265/.365/.411 with seven home runs, five steals and a 17.5 percent strikeout rate in 71 games for the AquaSox, but he's been making adjustments at the plate to better incorporate his lower half to get to more power while also introducing a toe-tap. Emerson's 51.4 percent groundball rate on the year is still something to monitor, but his stock is trending back up after a lengthy stretch where he struggled to hit for power.
