  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Makes third straight start

    Duran made a third consecutive start and has hit safely in all three, going 4-for-12. Prior to this run, Duran's playing time was sporadic. The injury to third baseman Josh Jung (thumb) created an opportunity, but the lefty-hitting Josh Smith has been the main beneficiary.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    Mountcastle is off to a hot start this season with a .305/.368/.492 slash line through 15 games, but he'll take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Ryan O'Hearn will shift to first base while Adley Rutschman rests his legs as the designated hitter.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Back on bench Tuesday

    Schanuel returned to the lineup Monday after missing a game with a testicular contusion, but he'll now head back to the bench for Tuesday's contest. Miguel Sano will occupy first base and bat cleanup for the Angels. Schanuel went 0-for-5 Monday and is now just 4-for-42 on the season.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ARI

    Twins' Carlos Santana: Taking seat Tuesday

    Santana is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Baltimore.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Returns to lineup

    Schanuel (groin) will start at first base and bat fifth in Monday's game in Tampa Bay.

    Schanuel exited Saturday's game and didn't play Sunday because of a testicular contusion, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The rookie first baseman is sporting a woeful .108/.292/.189 batting line through his first 12 contests this season.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Taking next steps in recovery

    Aranda will have the pins removed from his surgically repaired right ring finger Monday, MLB.com reports.

    Aranda has continued to engage in all baseball activities besides swinging, but with the pins getting removed, he should be able to start taking some hacks in the batter's box. The Rays haven't provided an exact timeline for Aranda to return from the 10-day injured list, though early or mid-May could be a realistic target.
