Walker went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Walker hasn't produced much this season, as he's collected only 10 hits across 65 at-bats with two extra-base knocks. He is also hitless across seven of his last nine starts. If there is a positive to take away, Walker has struck out multiple times in only one of his last six games after doing so seven times in his first 11 matchups.

Burger went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Angels.

Burger returned to the lineup after missing one game due to an illness and recorded his first multi-hit game of the season. A slow start has given way to hot stretch for the first baseman. Burger, who batted .105 over his first 11 games, has now hit safely in five straight, going 7-for-19 with a double, two RBI and a run scored.

Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Atlanta.

The first baseman struck out against Spencer Strider in the first inning, but Guerrero was perfect the rest of the day and got his revenge on the right-hander with a no-doubt solo shot in the sixth inning that traveled 412 feet to left field. It was Guerrero's first homer of 2025, but he's been productive with a .292/.373/.389 slash line, seven runs and 10 RBI in 19 games.

Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Brewers.

As was the case Sunday when the Tigers fell 5-1 to the Twins, Torkelson provided all of the team's offense with a solo shot. The slugger is now up to six home runs through 18 games, and if he keeps up this level of production and stays relatively healthy, Torkelson has a good shot to surpass the career high of 31 long balls he posted back in 2023.

Burger (illness) will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's contest versus the Angels.

Burger missed Tuesday's tilt due to illness but feels well enough to give it a go in this one. The first baseman's tenure with the Rangers hasn't gotten off to an ideal start, as he'll carry a .484 OPS into play Wednesday.

Aranda is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Red Sox.

It's southpaw Sean Newcomb on the bump for the Red Sox, so the lefty-hitting Aranda will yield to the right-handed-batting Curtis Mead at first base. Aranda has been absent from the lineup all four times the Rays have faced a lefty this season.

Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Tuesday against the Athletics.

Vaughn deposited a Jeffrey Springs changeup into deep left field, tying the game up at 3-3 in the first inning. The White Sox are relying on Vaughn to be one of their big bats in 2025, but the former top prospect is off to a brutal start at the dish. Over his first 57 at-bats, Vaughn is slashing just .123/.180/.263 with two homers, two doubles, eight RBI and three runs scored.

Soderstrom went 3-for-5 with a pair of three-run home runs Tuesday against the White Sox.

Soderstrom continued his upstart beginning to the season, cranking his seventh big fly of the year to bring three runs in during the first inning. He wasn't done there, however, launching his eighth long ball to drive in three more runs and push the Athletics in front 9-3 in the sixth inning. The 2020 first-rounder leads the major leagues in homers to this point, slashing an exceptional .328/.403/.734 with two doubles, 17 RBI and 15 runs scored through 72 plate appearances.

Aranda went 2-for-3 with one walk and a solo homer in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Aranda got the Rays in the scoring column in the second inning, when he took the first pitch he saw from Walker Buehler deep to right-center field for a 398-foot solo homer. Aranda has the hot bat as of late, going 14-for-30 with four walks, eight runs scored, three home runs and 10 RBI over his last nine games.

Burger is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels due to an illness but may be available off the bench, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Burger started the previous four contests but will sit for the second time this season due to the ailment. Ezequiel Duran will take over at first base and bat eighth against Halos lefty Yusei Kikuchi.
