  • Evan Carter CF | TEX

    Rangers' Evan Carter: Rips fourth homer in win

    Carter went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Yankees.

    Carter went deep for the first time since April 23, which was also his last multi-RBI effort. The 23-year-old outfielder still has a long way to go before commanding more fantasy attention, though. Across 130 trips to the plate this year, Carter is slashing a paltry .178/.299/.336 with four big flies, five doubles, 11 RBI and five stolen bases.

  • Chase DeLauter RF | CLE

    Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Drives in two runs Wednesday

    DeLauter went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run single during the Guardians' 3-1 win over the Royals on Wednesday.

    DeLauter gave the Guardians the lead for good in the fifth inning when his single off Luinder Avila brought both Austin Hedges and Petey Halpin home. DeLauter has recorded a hit in 10 consecutive games, and over that span he has gone 18-for-35 (.514) with one home run, seven RBI and a 4:4 BB:K.

  • Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Smacks fifth homer

    Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Atlanta.

    Rodriguez extended Seattle's lead to 2-0 in the sixth inning with a 436-foot blast off Martin Perez, his fifth homer this year. Rodriguez has been swinging a hot bat, going 11-for-34 (.324) with three long balls in his last eight games. Overall, he's slashing .260/.327/.407 with 17 RBI, 18 runs scored and three stolen bases across 165 plate appearances this season.

  • Steven Kwan LF | CLE

    Guardians' Steven Kwan: Taking seat Wednesday

    Kwan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    After going 0-for-12 over his last three games, the left-handed-hitting Kwan will be given a chance to catch his breath Wednesday rather than going up against a tough left-hander in Royals ace Cole Ragans. Angel Martinez will step in in as the Guardians' left fielder and leadoff man in place of Kwan, who had started each of the previous nine contests.

  • Brandon Nimmo RF | TEX

    Rangers' Brandon Nimmo: Back in lineup at designated hitter

    Nimmo (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Yankees.

    Nimmo tweaked his hamstring this past Friday and has not started a game in the outfield since then, occupying the DH spot twice and sitting out the other two contests. The Rangers could continue to ease Nimmo back into things in a non-defensive role until he feels back to 100 percent.

  • Twins' Emmanuel Rodriguez: Day-to-day at Triple-A

    Rodriguez is considered day-to-day with a muscle strain in his thumb but could return to the Triple-A St. Paul lineup within a few days, Theodore Tollefson of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

    He took batting practice over the weekend, which bodes well for his chances of avoiding an extended absence. Rodriguez, who left St. Paul's game May 1 with the injury, had a right thumb sprain in 2024 that only cost him a week of action, although he has missed significant time due to various ailments throughout his career. He is slashing .247/.417/.506 with six home runs and three steals in 25 games, and as a member of the Twins' 40-man roster, Rodriguez could get the call to the majors at any point once he's healthy.

  • Joshua Lowe LF | LAA

    Angels' Josh Lowe: Taking seat in series finale

    Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    After making starts in each of the Halos' last seven games, the left-handed-hitting Lowe will head to the bench Wednesday while the White Sox send southpaw rookie Noah Schultz to the bump. Bryce Teodosio will check in for Lowe in left field and will bat ninth.

  • Jesus Sanchez DH | ARI

    Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Taking seat against southpaw

    Sanchez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    With southpaw Shane McClanahan on the bump for the Rays in the series finale, the Blue Jays will counter with a more right-handed-heavy lineup. Sanchez and fellow left-handed batters Andres Gimenez and Daulton Varsho will head to the bench, opening up spots for righties Lenyn Sosa, Myles Straw and Davis Schneider.

  • Daulton Varsho CF | HOU

    Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Sitting versus southpaw

    Varsho is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rays.

    The left-handed-hitting Varsho will get a day off as the Rays send southpaw Shane McClanahan to the bump. Myles Straw will patrol center field for the Blue Jays, while Yohendrick Pinango will grab a start in right field.

  • Rays' Richie Palacios: Taking seat Wednesday

    Palacios is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    With southpaw Patrick Corbin starting for the Blue Jays, the left-handed-hitting Palacios will hit the bench for the third time in four games. Ben Williamson will draw the start at second base Wednesday as he and Palacios continue to work in a loose platoon at the position amid the ongoing absence of Gavin Lux (shoulder/ankle), who has been stuck on the injured list all season.
