Schanuel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

The left-handed-hitting Schanuel will sit for the first time this season while the Angels face off against a lefty (Matthew Boyd) for the series finale in Chicago. Jeimer Candelario will spell Schanuel at first base and will bat seventh Wednesday.

Torkelson is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Arizona.

Torkelson will receive his first day off of the season after going 3-for-20 with eight strikeouts through five games. Colt Keith will get a start at first base for the Tigers in Wednesday's series finale.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Casas (knee) will be will be shut down from hitting after sustaining a left intercostal strain, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Casas missed time during the 2024 season due to torn cartilage in his left rib cage, though this setback appears unrelated. He hasn't undergone an MRI and will be re-evaluated in a few days. The first baseman is on the 10-day injured list as he continues his recovery from patellar tendon surgery and faces an uncertain timetable. If the intercostal issue is deemed serious enough of a setback, Casas will be a candidate to shift to the 60-day IL.

Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Mountcastle has found playing time difficult to come by in the early going; he's started just once in the Orioles' first six games and has logged five plate appearances in total. With Samuel Basallo serving as the Orioles' primary designated hitter and offseason pickup Pete Alonso handling an everyday role at first base, Mountcastle likely won't have a path to steady at-bats unless either of the former two players misses time at some point.

Kurtz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.

Kurtz will receive his first day off of the season after going 1-for-17 with 11 strikeouts through five games. Andy Ibanez will get a start at first base and bat second as the Athletics take on lefty ace Chris Sale at Truist Park.

Guerrero went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored during the Blue Jays' 5-1 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

Guerrero gave the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead in the fifth after drawing a bases-loaded walk, and he was brought home in the seventh on a Nathan Lukes RBI single. Guerrero has yet to record an extra-base hit through five regular-season games, though he's reached base safely in 12 of 22 plate appearances to open the 2026 campaign.

Kayfus isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Kayfus has yet to record his first hit of the season through 11 plate appearances, and he'll take a seat Tuesday with Shohei Ohtani on the mound for Los Angeles. Angel Martinez will fill the resulting void in left field and bat ninth.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win over the Brewers.

Diaz led off the game with a solo blast off Kyle Harrison, and he later singled off Harrison in the second inning. The veteran designated hitter is swinging a hot bat to begin the season, as Diaz is 11-for-20 with one double, one home run, six RBI, four runs scored and a 1:1 BB:K through four contest.

Kayfus is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Monday.

Kayfus will take a seat for Monday's series opener while the Guardians roll with Steven Kwan, Daniel Schneemann and Angel Martinez in the outfield from left to right. Kayfus went 0-for-8 with two walks, one run and four strikeouts across three games against the Mariners this past week. He also struggled in his start in left field Sunday, which could limit the amount of at-bats he sees until he shores up that part of his game.

Hoskins is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Monday.

Hoskins opened the regular season strongly, going 3-for-3 with one double and one run scored against the Mariners on Thursday before following that up with an 0-for-3 performance with two strikeouts Friday. He will not be in the Guardians' lineup for a third consecutive game, with Kyle Manzardo starting at first base while Chase DeLauter serves as the designated hitter for Monday's series opener.
