  • Colt Keith 2B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Back in lineup Friday

    Keith is starting at first base and batting fifth in Friday's game against the Reds.

    Keith was not in the starting lineup Thursday with Baltimore deploying lefty Keegan Akin as the opener, though he did pinch hit and ultimately receive three at-bats in the contest. The young infielder, who has a .706 OPS for the season, will slot back in as a regular starter Friday against Cincinnati righty Nick Martinez.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Still out of lineup

    Donovan (toe) isn't part of the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

    Donovan is absent from the starting nine for a third straight game, but appears to be making progress in his recovery from a sprained left big toe. The 28-year-old participated in a light pregame workout Thursday and was said to be feeling "a lot better." Nolan Gorman will bat seventh and play second base in place of Donovan. Per Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Donovan is pushing for a return this weekend, but the Cardinals are willing to give him until Tuesday before placing him on the injured list.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Still idle Friday

    Chisholm (groin) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

    Chisholm exited Wednesday's game with tightness in his left groin and will miss a second consecutive game due to the issue, though Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that he hopes the 27-year-old will be available as a pinch hitter, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. In Chisholm's place, Oswald Peraza will play third base and bat eighth.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | TB

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Kim (shoulder) was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment Thursday due to right hamstring tightness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Kim has yet to play in the majors this season while he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery, but he did begin a rehab assignment late last month and has appeared in 12 games for Triple-A Durham. Across 49 trips to the plate with Durham, Kim is slashing .211/.347/.263 with just two extra-base hits, four RBI, eight runs scored, two stolen bases and an 8:5 BB:K. Kim is expected to resume his rehab stint as soon as next week.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Officially called up

    The Angels selected Moore's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

    Moore, the Angels' first-round pick in 2024, will make his MLB debut Friday, batting ninth and playing second base. The 22-year-old slashed .350/.424/.575 at Salt Lake City in 92 plate appearances and will get an opportunity to seize an everyday role at the keystone with the Halos.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Goes through light workout

    Donovan (toe) went through a light pregame workout Thursday and Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol indicated the second baseman "felt a lot better," Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Donovan exited Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays and didn't play Wednesday or Thursday due to a sprained left big toe. While he appears to be on the mend, the Cardinals do not plan to play shorthanded much longer. A decision on whether Donovan needs a stint on the 10-day injured list is expected to be made soon.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Records RBI in loss

    Fitzgerald went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Rockies.

    Fitzgerald hit a sacrifice fly in the second inning, giving him an RBI in back-to-back games for the first time since April 16-17. The 27-year-old infielder has struggled through 11 outings in June, batting .121 with two RBI, two runs scored, two stolen bases and a 4:10 BB:K across 40 plate appearances this month.

  • Jose Devers 2B | ATL

    Braves' Jose Devers: Not yet retiring

    Devers (undisclosed) did not retire as previously reported and plans to continue his playing career, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

    A previous report suggested that Devers had retired, but that report apparently came about due to an error in translation. He will continue to rehab an undisclosed injury that has kept him from playing for Triple-A Gwinnett since June 1. The 25-year-old infielder has maintained a .276/.279/.431 slash line across 61 plate appearances with Gwinnett this season.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Set for MLB debut

    The Angels plan to select Moore's contract Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Moore was selected in the first round by the Angels in 2024 and has risen through their minor-league system quickly. He has excelled at Triple-A Salt Lake in 2025, slashing .350/.424/.575 across 92 plate appearances. Moore figures to start every day at second base and hit in a prominent spot in the lineup.

  • Jose Devers 2B | ATL

    Jose Devers: Playing days over

    Devers has decided to retire from baseball, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

    Devers briefly reached the majors with the Marlins in 2024, but he had spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Gwinnett. Only 25, the reason for Devers' decision is not known.
