France was placed on the paternity list Friday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

France will likely miss the entirety of the Mariners' weekend series in Milwaukee before rejoining the club next week in Toronto. Luke Raley and Dylan Moore will likely handle first base while France is away.

Noda is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Detroit.

The left-handed hitting Noda will take a seat as the Tigers send ace southpaw Tarik Skubal to the mound. J.D. Davis will be at first base and Darell Hernaiz is at the hot corner.

Sano went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Marlins.

Sano had gone just 1-for-10 in his previous three games to start the season. Wednesday's outing was a positive sign for the 30-year-old first baseman -- he made the Angels' Opening-Day lineup after signing as a non-roster invitee. Sano didn't play professionally in 2023 after batting just .083 with one homer in 71 plate appearances with the Twins in 2022. While Sano should still offer some power upside, he'll likely be limited to a short-side platoon role to start the year.

Kirilloff went 4-for-4 with a walk, a double, a triple and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Milwaukee.

The 26-year-old has hit safely in all five games to begin the season, but Wednesday was his first multi-hit performance. Kirilloff is 8-for-18 (.444) to kick off the campaign with three of those hits (two doubles and a triple) going for extra bases. He slashed a solid .270/.348/.445 over 88 games in 2023 with 11 homers and 41 RBI, and if he can stay healthy, Kirilloff might finally begin to deliver on the talent that made him a first-round pick back in 2016.

Singleton will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Despite posting a lowly .500 OPS in spring training, Singleton was able to secure a spot on Houston's Opening Day roster as a bench bat. Singleton will pick up his second start of the season Wednesday, spelling a resting Jose Abreu at first base.

Abreu is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Abreu was on the bench for Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees due to a sore hand, but he returned to the starting nine for both of the Astros' first two games against the Blue Jays, going 2-for-8 with a run scored. The Astros haven't indicated that Abreu suffered a setback with his hand in either contest, so his absence from the lineup Wednesday may be little more than a maintenance day. Jon Singleton will spell Abreu at first base and bat sixth.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will sit for the third time in six games to begin the season, with all three of his absences coming against left-handed starting pitchers. With O'Hearn on the bench, the Orioles will give Adley Rutschman a day off behind the plate and deploy him as their designated hitter while James McCann forms a battery with starting pitcher Corbin Burnes.

Schanuel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

With southpaw A.J. Puk on the bump for Miami, the lefty-hitting Schanuel will head to the bench in the series finale. Miguel Sano will fill in at first base for Schanuel, who had started in each of the Halos' first five games while reaching base at a .400 clip and hitting a home run.

Walsh went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rays.

The lefty-batting Walsh made a fourth consecutive start at first base, including one against a lefty, and has hit safely in all four, going 7-for-18 with two extra-base hits, three RBI and five runs. The season started as a likely platoon of Walsh (against righties) and Ezequiel Duran (lefties) while primary first baseman Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) recovers. However, third baseman Josh Jung's wrist injury, which is expected to keep him sidelined for at least six weeks, may require Duran to help fill that void.

Schanuel went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Monday's 7-4 victory versus the Marlins.

Schanuel hit the first of the Angels' back-to-back jacks in the sixth inning, with Mike Trout following with a massive blast of his own. Schanuel has quietly put together an impressive on-base streak of 33 games dating back to his MLB debut last season. Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com, it's the third-longest on-base streak to begin a career in league history.
