  • Kody Clemens 1B | PHI

    Phillies' Kody Clemens: Getting third straight start at 1B

    Clemens will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    With Bryce Harper (hamstring) landing on the injured list, Clemens looks to have settled in as the Phillies' primary first baseman, at least against right-handed pitching. He'll make a third straight start Sunday after going 1-for-6 with a double in his first two games following his return from a stint on the IL due to a back issue.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | TB

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Getting day off versus lefty

    Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    The lefty-hitting Lowe will hit the bench for the series finale while Washington sends southpaw Patrick Corbin to the hill. Jose Caballero checks in at second base for Lowe.

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Homers in return to lineup

    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday in a loss to the Nationals.

    Lowe returned to the starting lineup after logging just a single pinch-hit appearance over Tampa Bay's previous five games due to a broken toe. The second baseman didn't seem to have any rust, as he belted a 405-foot solo shot in his first at-bat of the contest for what turned out to be the Rays' only run. Lowe has hit five homers over 19 games in June after going deep just once across his first 18 contests of the campaign.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Collects two hits, steals base

    Turang went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Cubs on Saturday.

    Turang's speed was on display in the defeat -- he plated the Brewers' first run with an RBI bunt single in the third inning and followed the hit with a steal of second base. The swipe was his 28th of the season, second most in the majors. Fantasy managers should have been aware of Turang's speed coming into the campaign after he swiped 26 bags in 137 games last year, but the second baseman's other offensive stats have been a pleasant surprise. He's slashing .290/.354/.406 with five homers, 33 RBI and 39 runs through 317 plate appearances.

  • Jose Iglesias 2B | NYM

    Mets' Jose Iglesias: Two doubles in three-hit effort

    Iglesias went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Astros.

    Iglesias has gone 7-for-17 over his last 10 contests, recording a plate appearance in just seven of those games. Over 43 plate appearances this year, he's batting .425 with seven RBI, six runs scored, one stolen base and four doubles, but the typically light-hitting infielder has yet to hit a home run. Iglesias' best path to playing time is at second base, where he's currently on the short side of a platoon with Jeff McNeil, who is hitting just .221 on the year and .211 in June.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Reaches four times in win

    Marte went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and one RBI in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Athletics.

    Marte opened the scoring with an RBI single in the second inning, which was ultimately enough offense for Arizona to win. He's been good over the latter half of June, going 16-for-45 (.356) with seven extra-base hits and 12 RBI over his last 12 contests. Marte is at a .290/.352/.525 slash line with 17 home runs, 49 RBI, 55 runs scored, three stolen bases, 19 doubles and two triples across 80 games this year.

  • Blue Jays' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Extends hit streak to 13 games

    Kiner-Falefa went 4-for-5 with an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

    Kiner-Falefa singled and scored in the first inning and added another base hit in the fifth. He smacked an RBI single and scored in the sixth frame and then finished his huge day by doubling and scoring again in the eighth. The 29-year-old has put together a 13-game hit streak and seen his season average climb from .263 to .296. He also has seven home runs, 33 RBI, 32 runs scored and three steals over 277 plate appearances in what has been a surprisingly productive 2024.

  • Jonathan India 2B | CIN

    Reds' Jonathan India: Extends hit streak to 11 games

    India went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Cardinals.

    India hit an RBI double and scored in the second inning and then added another RBI double in the seventh. The second baseman is on fire, hitting safely in 11 consecutive games and registering multiple hits in eight straight. He has increased his average to .279 with five home runs, 34 RBI, 38 runs scored and eight steals over 311 plate appearances this season. The 27-year-old will likely continue to hit leadoff until TJ Friedl (hamstring) returns from the injured list.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Homers, scores twice in loss

    Rodgers went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 loss to the White Sox.

    Rodgers opened the scoring with a solo home run in the second inning, walked and scored in the fifth and then added a single in the seventh. The second baseman has been great in June, hitting .340 with three home runs and 10 RBI despite missing about two weeks with a hamstring injury. On the year, he is batting .280 with five home runs, 27 RBI and 27 runs scored over 253 plate appearances.

  • Brandon Drury 2B | LAA

    Angels' Brandon Drury: Still out of lineup

    Drury (illness) isn't part of the starting lineup Saturday against Detroit.

    Drury will be held out of the starting lineup for a ninth consecutive contest and it's unclear how close he is to returning. Luis Rengifo will bat second and play second base.
