Oakland Athletics shortstop Max Schuemann broke out with his first career four-hit day in Saturday's 11-9 victory over the Braves. The 26-year-old went 4-for-4 with three singles, a double, one RBI, and three runs scored. Since May 11 (19 games), Schuemann is hitting .309 (21-for-68) with two home runs, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, and two stolen bases. If he can continue hitting he could become fantasy-relevant in 12-team leagues, especially due to his positional eligibility in Yahoo leagues, able to be slotted in at 2B, SS, and OF. Schuemann is rostered in just 1% of Yahoo leagues at the moment.


New York Mets starting pitcher Sean Manaea went five-and-two-thirds innings in Saturday's 10-5 loss to the Diamondbacks, striking out a season-high 10 batters but surrendering six runs (five earned) on six hits and two walks. Manaea took the loss in the game and it ended a 7-game stretch in which he had allowed three earned runs or less. On the season, the lefty is now 3-2 with a 3.73 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a 57:24 K:BB over 57 innings pitched (11 starts). He'll likely face the Phillies in his next start during next weekend's London Series.


Detroit Tigers outfielder Mark Canha (hip) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox and right-hander Brayan Bello, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup for the Tigers. Canha is back in the fold after missing the last two games due to a minor hip strain. The 35-year-old veteran outfielder is in the heart of Detroit's batting order against an up-and-coming Boston hurler who he has never faced in his career. Canha is returning to a modest .247/.358/.401 slash line this year with six home runs, 24 RBI, one stolen base and 27 runs scored in 182 at-bats and 52 games in his first season in the Motor City. He'll be attempting to extend his current hitting streak to seven games on Sunday. During his six-game streak, he's gone 9-for-21 (.429) with no homers, two doubles, four RBI, two walks and five strikeouts in 24 plate appearances.


The Boston Red Sox officially placed infielder Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a right-hamstring strain and also placed infielder/outfielder Romy Gonzalez (hamstring) on the 10-day IL (retroactive to May 31) with a left-hamstring strain. In corresponding moves, right-hander Garrett Whitlock (elbow) was moved to the 60-day IL, infielder/outfielder Jamie Westbrook was selected from Triple-A Worcester and infielder/outfielder Bobby Dalbec was recalled from Worcester. Grissom suffered a mild hamstring strain on Saturday but will have to miss at least the next 10 days. Enmanuel Valdez is playing second and batting fifth on Sunday for Boston against Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize, and he's the most likely to benefit from more playing time with Grissom out. Grissom got a late start to his first season in Boston due to injury and has gone just 12-for-81 (.148) with no homers or steals to this point.


For the first time since 2019, Toronto Blue Jays infielder Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is starting at third base on Sunday against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Quinn Priester. Guerrero is hitting in the three-hole. Regular third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa is getting the start at second base on Sunday for the series finale. Guerrero has been taking grounders at third base recently and could become an option at the hot corner for Toronto moving forward, although the bulk of his time will still likely come across the diamond at first base. Fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up that the 25-year-old will regain eligibility at third base in 2024. Although it hasn't come with much power (only five long balls), Guerrero has hit well so far this season, slashing .292/.390/.406 with 25 RBI, two steals and 25 runs scored in 219 at-bats. Keep him in your lineups against Priester.
