Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Solo shot against Baltimore
Schneemann went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Orioles.
Schneemann got the Guardians on the board in the third inning, when he took the first pitch he saw from Tomoyuki Sugano deep to center field for a 395-foot solo homer. It was Schneemann's second home run of the season, and the 28-year-old has gone 5-for-11 with one homer and two RBI over his last three games.

Tyler Fitzgerald 2B | SF
Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Cracks second homer of 2025
Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.
Fitzgerald struck out in his first three at-bats but launched a 381-foot homer to left field in the ninth inning. The 27-year-old infielder logged at least one hit in all four games of the Giants' series against the Phillies, going 8-for-17 at the plate during that span. Fitzgerald dealt with a lower-back injury during spring training and struggled at the start of the 2025 campaign. When asked about his slow start to the season Wednesday, Fitzgerald said, "I just felt like I had some really bad habits from when I hurt my back in Spring Training," according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com. However, he has been stellar of late and is now slashing .309/.345/.527 with 10 runs scored, seven extra-base hits, six RBI and a 3:15 BB:K across 60 plate appearances.

Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN
Twins' Luke Keaschall: Bound for big leagues
The Twins plan to select Keaschall's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
With the Twins currently dealing with injuries to Royce Lewis (hamstring), Willi Castro (oblique) and Carlos Correa (wrist), the team will call upon Keaschall to provide a healthy body capable of playing in the infield. The 22-year-old prospect has only started at second base (and DH) in the minors this year, though he also has a bit of experience at first and in center field. He owns a .727 OPS with five RBI, eight runs scored and four stolen bases through 14 Triple-A contests this year and will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Caleb Durbin 2B | MIL
Brewers' Caleb Durbin: En route to Milwaukee
The Brewers will recall Durbin from Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Brewers were left with a hole at third base after optioning Oliver Dunn to Nashville on Thursday, and it now appears that Durbin will take over as Milwaukee's primary starter at the hot corner once he officially joins the big-league club. The 25-year-old speedster has slashed .278/.316/.481 with two home runs, three RBI, 12 runs scored and three stolen bases through 58 minor-league plate appearances, and he's recorded a base hit in 11 of his 13 contests. His first game in Milwaukee will mark his MLB debut.

Coco Montes 2B | TB
Rays' Coco Montes: Optioned to Triple-A
The Rays optioned Montes to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
He's clearing out to make room on the active roster for Richie Palacios (finger), who was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday. Montes is 2-for-10 at the dish during his brief time with the big club in 2025.

Max Schuemann 2B | ATH
Athletics' Max Schuemann: Drawing third start of season
Schuemann will start at third base and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the White Sox.
Schuemann has the ability to play all over the infield and outfield, but with the Athletics having enjoyed generally good health so far this season from their position players, the 27-year-old utility man hasn't been able to pick up meaningful playing time. He'll be starting Thursday for just the third time in the Athletics' first 19 games.

Luisangel Acuna 2B | NYM
Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Swipes fifth bag of year
Acuna went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Twins.
Making his fourth straight start at second base, Acuna extended his hitting streak to six games while swiping his fifth bag in five attempts. The 23-year-old is batting .381 (8-for-21) during his heater with two doubles, six runs and a 3:4 BB:K, and the Mets may be exploring ways to keep Acuna in the lineup -- Jeff McNeil (oblique) is seeing time in center field during his rehab assignment.

Brendan Rodgers 2B | HOU
Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Hitless in return
Rodgers went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Thursday against the Cardinals.
Rodgers was in the lineup for the first time since April 9 after dealing with a hip issue. He retook the starting job at second base and hit sixth, also pushing Mauricio Dubon back to the bench.
