  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Moves into tie for MLB homer lead

    Soderstrom went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in a loss to the Padres on Monday.

    Soderstrom first went deep with a 385-foot blast to right field in the third inning, then tacked on another homer with a 389-foot shot to right in the seventh. The third-year first baseman is off to a blistering start to the campaign, slashing .381/.435/.857 with six homers, 10 RBI and nine runs through 46 plate appearances. The six long balls are tied for the MLB lead with Aaron Judge, and Soderstrom is one of 18 players to have reached double-digit RBI to date.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Impacts Sunday's doubleheader

    Gonzalez went a combined 4-for-7 with an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's doubleheader sweep over St. Louis.

    Gonzalez entered the matinee as a pinch hitter, singling in place of starting second baseman David Hamilton in the seventh inning, and finished out at the keystone. The utility infielder then had a big hit in Boston's two-run ninth inning against Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley, delivering a one-out double that plated the first run and put the tying run in scoring position. Boston eventually won the first game in the 10th inning. Gonzalez finished an impactful day by starting the nightcap at first base, contributing two more hits and two runs.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Inks massive contract extension

    Guerrero and the Blue Jays agreed Sunday on a 14-year, $500 million contract extension, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    Guerrero will be a mainstay in the Toronto lineup for many years to come, inking a lucrative deal to remain with the Blue Jays through the 2039 campaign. The first baseman has produced a career .288/.363/.499 slash line with 160 home runs over six-plus seasons with the team, which has earned him the third-largest contract in MLB history. Guerrero is batting .256/.333/.333 with three doubles, four RBI and three runs scored over 45 plate appearances in 10 games this season.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Goes deep Sunday

    Soderstrom went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Rockies.

    Soderstrom gave the Athletics a quick lead with a two-run blast in the first inning for his fourth home run of the year. He's tallied multiple hits and at least one RBI in each of his last three games and is catching some early buzz as a breakout candidate for the 2025 season.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Takes seat for Game 2

    Casas is not in the starting lineup for the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Casas will take a seat after going 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in the team's 5-4 extra-inning win in Game 1 on Sunday. Romy Gonzalez will draw the start at first base and bat seventh versus St. Louis.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Cracks game-winning double

    Torkelson went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the White Sox.

    The Detroit first baseman stepped to the plate in the ninth against Jordan Leasure with the bases juiced and did not disappoint, hitting a walkoff two-run double. Torkelson has been electric to start the season, slashing .324/.439/.618 over his first 41 plate appearances with two homers and six runs and RBI apiece. However, he is also striking out at a 31.7 percent clip and sporting a .474 BABIP, so caution should be taken with the 25-year-old's outlook for the rest of 2025.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Twins' Ty France: Not in Sunday's lineup

    France is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    France started Minnesota's first eight games of the season and will receive a day off after going 6-for-30 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored. Mickey Gasper will step in at first base for the series finale versus Houston.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Provides early cushion

    Burger went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Rays.

    After Marcus Semien led off the bottom of the first inning with a solo homer, Burger extended the Rangers' cushion with a three-run blast in the same frame. It was Burger's second homer of the season, and the knock snapped an 0-for-11 run.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ARI

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Slugs first long ball

    Santana went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run, an additional RBI and a walk against the Angels in Saturday's 10-4 loss.

    Santana knocked in half of Cleveland's runs in the contest, launching a solo homer to center field in the first inning and adding an RBI groundout in the third. The veteran first baseman has been a steady presence in the Guardians' lineup this season, as he's gotten at least one hit in six of his eight games and is slashing a sturdy .290/.343/.452 through 35 plate appearances.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Records first homer of 2025

    Aranda went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double Saturday against the Rangers.

    Aranda started for the sixth time in seven games when the Rays have faced right-handed pitching to begin the season. While Saturday's long ball was his first of the season, he was already providing some power with five doubles. Aranda has only three RBI for the campaign, but he should have more opportunities to drive in runs thanks to his status as Tampa Bay's primary cleanup hitter.
