O'Hearn is starting at first base and batting ninth for the Orioles on Tuesday versus the Nationals.

It's his second start in five games since O'Hearn was added to the roster last week. He's 3-for-5 with five RBI over that stretch. With O'Hearn handling first base, Ryan Mountcastle is in the designated hitter spot.

Manzardo is slashing .262/.333/.548 with three home runs and a 10:5 K:BB in 48 plate appearances for Triple-A Durham.

The Rays didn't mess around, sending Manzardo to Triple-A this year after he dominated in 30 games at Double-A to close last season. Manzardo also set a career high in exit velocity (111.9 mph) on one of his home runs this season, and his 42.4 percent hard-hit rate is up from the 33.5 percent mark he logged in 2022.

Arias is will start at first base and bat second in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

It's the second game in a row that Arias has been in the No. 2 spot for the Guardians after he filled in at shortstop for Amed Rosario (back) on Sunday. Arias is just 1-for-12 versus lefties this season, but that one hit was a home run. He'll go up against southpaw Matthew Boyd in this contest.

Naylor is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

The Tigers are throwing lefty Matthew Boyd in the first game and southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez in the nightcap. The lefty-hitting Naylor has made just one start against a left-hander this season but could get a shot in the second game. Gabriel Arias is handling first base in the first contest.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Blue Jays.

Abreu opened the scoring for the Astros in the first inning with a two-run double before also coming around to score. He has yet to homer this season, but he has two doubles, two runs scored and four RBI across his last five games -- though he's also hit only .143 in that span. Overall, Abreu has a very underwhelming 54 wRC+ and .250 wOBA after 75 plate appearances, but he continues to hit exclusively in the cleanup spot in the Houston lineup.

Raley is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Raley, Josh Lowe and Harold Ramirez all appear to be vying for two regular spots in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, and Raley will find himself as the odd man out Monday. Since slugging three home runs in his first five games of the season, Raley has slashed .174/.269/.261 over a stretch of eight contests.

The Red Sox optioned Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

Dalbec's stay with Boston lasted just under a week, with the 27-year-old infielder appearing in four games and going 2-for-9 with two walks against five strikeouts during his time with the big club. Boston called up outfielder Jarren Duran from Triple-A to replace Dalbec on the 26-man active roster.

Noda went 2-for-4 with a walk in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.

Noda notched his second multi-hit effort of the season and most-admirably drew a walk for the seventh game in a row. His patience has been noteworthy, but the 27-year-old is slashing just .211/.388/.395 with two home runs, two RBI and nine runs scored over 16 games.

Pasquantino went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Atlanta.

Pasquantino tied the game at 4-4 with his seventh-inning blast off reliever Michael Tonkin. Over his last six games, Pasquantino has gone 6-for-21 (.286) with two homers, three RBI, four runs scored, five walks and two doubles. The first baseman has been a relative bright spot in an otherwise weak-hitting lineup, slashing .269/.387/.538 through 62 plate appearances.

Kirilloff (wrist) went 1-for-4 Sunday for Low-A Fort Myers, playing in back-to-back games for the first time this season. His rehab assignment could be transferred to Triple-A St. Paul soon, and he could be activated in about a week, Phil Miller of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The Twins wanted to see Kirilloff play in consecutive games before taking the next step. It sounds like he may need a few games at Triple-A before the Twins consider activating him to the big-league roster. After undergoing surgery on his wrist in August, Kirilloff's recovery has taken longer than expected this spring.
