  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Drives in four runs

    Adames went 3-for-5 with four RBI during Saturday's 7-2 win against the Athletics.

    Adames didn't provide any extra-base hits, but he singled with the bases loaded in the first and third innings to provide San Francisco with an early lead. It's the sixth three-hit game of the campaign for the veteran shortstop, who has gone 10-for-23 with two doubles, a homer, six RBI and five runs during a six-game hit streak.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: First big-league hits

    Montgomery went 3-for-5 with a triple and an RBI on Saturday against the Rockies.

    Montgomery has started two straight games since being recalled for his big-league debut, hitting seventh and fifth. He recorded the first hits of his big-league career Saturday, including an RBI triple in the first inning. Montgomery has seen his stock as a prospect dip in the last two seasons, but he is still an interesting name to monitor across the second half of the season.

  • Zack Short SS | HOU

    Astros' Zack Short: Key knock in first start

    Short went 1-for-2 with a double and two RBI on Saturday against the Dodgers.

    Short made his debut with the Astros on July 2 and drew his first start Saturday while hitting ninth. He began the scoring for Houston with a two-RBI double in the third inning. Even with Jeremy Pena (rib) sidelined, Short isn't likely to see consistent playing time moving forward.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Swats 10th homer

    Volpe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mets on Saturday.

    Volpe temporarily brought the Yankees to within two runs with his 408-foot solo shot in the seventh inning. It was just his second long ball over his past 27 games and his first since June 21. Volpe will look to use the homer as a springboard to busting a slump that has seen him bat just .129 (9-for-70) over his past 20 contests.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Pushes hit streak to seven games

    Crawford went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Pirates.

    Crawford extended his hitting streak to seven games and has now registered at least one hit in eight of his last nine. The 30-year-old shortstop continues to offer the Mariners some stability at the leadoff spot while Victor Robles (shoulder) sits on the injured list. Crawford hasn't supplied much in the way of power -- he's slugging just .383 over his last 58 outings -- but he's batting .287 with 19 RBI, 23 runs scored, 32 walks and four stolen bases across his last 267 plate appearances.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Continues collecting hits

    Turner went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Reds.

    The 32-year-old star shortstop tallied multiple hits for the third time in his past four games, also extending his hitting streak to five outings. Turner was batting just .245 and slugging .316 as of April 26, but he's found a groove over the past two months or so. Across his last 62 contests, Turner is hitting .322 (84-for-261) with 10 home runs, 14 doubles, two triples, 47 runs scored and 16 stolen bases while working as Philadelphia's everyday leadoff man.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: In Saturday's lineup

    Bogaerts (hamstring) will start at shortstop and bat fifth Saturday against the Rangers.

    Bogaerts suffered a hamstring injury toward the end of Friday's contest, but it won't be enough to prevent him from playing Saturday. The 32-year-old infielder has been heating up at the plate recently, going 9-for-23 (.391) with a homer and three runs scored over his last six games.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Swipes another bag Friday

    Abrams went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Red Sox.

    The shortstop continues to surge toward a breakout campaign. Abrams has hit safely in seven straight games and 13 of his last 14, a stretch in which he's slashing .339/.397/.565 with three long balls, four steals, eight RBI and 14 runs as the Nationals' leadoff hitter. He needs one more stolen base to become the eighth player in the majors with 10-plus homers and 20-plus steals on the season.

  • Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Sitting Saturday

    Kim (calf) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Kim had to leave his Rays debut early Friday after his calf began to cramp up on him in the seventh inning. He'll take an extra day off to recover Saturday; meanwhile, Taylor Walls will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Fields grounders Friday

    Arias (ankle) fielded groundballs prior to Friday's game, MLB.com reports.

    Arias is dealing with what an MRI revealed to be a "moderate" sprain, according to Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt. The manager noted that the infielder, who had taken over as the primary shortstop, appears to have avoided a major injury. Since Arias landed on the 10-day injured list, the Guardians have used a combination of Brayan Rocchio and Daniel Schneemann at shortstop.
