Paul Goldschmidt 1B | NYY
Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Blasts solo homer Wednesday
Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Baltimore.
Goldschmidt didn't have the most efficient performance from the plate, but he made up for it in the fifth inning with a solo shot to center field off Cade Povich. Goldschmidt has seven 30-homer seasons in his career but has just two long balls on the season. However, his 42 hits and .356 batting average rank second in the majors behind teammate Aaron Judge (50 hits and .427 average).

Jonathan Aranda 1B | TB
Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Idle against lefty
Aranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
The lefty-hitting Aranda will get the night off while the Royals send southpaw Noah Cameron to the hill Wednesday. Curtis Mead will check in for Aranda at first base.

Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX
Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Getting day off versus lefty
Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
With southpaw Tyler Anderson on the hill for the Angels, the left-handed-hitting Tellez will take a seat along with switch hitter Jorge Polanco, who hasn't been batting from the right side of late while managing a side injury. Cal Raleigh will get a day off from catching and will fill in for Polanco as Seattle's designated hitter, while Donovan Solano covers Tellez's usual post at first base.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 1B | TOR
Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Provides only offense Tuesday
Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.
The Blue Jays managed just four hits as a team, but Guerrero was able to get a hold of one off Garrett Crochet in the third for his third homer of the year. Guerrero leads the Blue Jays in home runs and RBI (14), though that's not saying a ton, as Toronto has just 15 homers this season. He's hitting just .160 over his last seven games but holds a .271 average and .368 on-base percentage so far this season.

Ty France 1B | SD
Twins' Ty France: Supplies lone offense in loss
France went 3-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Guardians.
The 30-year-old was the only Minnesota player to collect multiple hits, and his solo homer during the fifth inning accounted for the club's lone run of the day. France has been on a tear over the past four games with three multi-hit performances, and he's gone 8-for-16 with three doubles and a home run during that stretch. He's enjoyed a decent start to the campaign with a .267/.345/.410 slash line and three long balls in 30 games while serving as the Twins' primary first baseman.

Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA
Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Back in lineup Tuesday
Schanuel (knee) is in the Angels' lineup Tuesday at first base and is batting second.
Schanuel missed Sunday's rubber match in Minnesota due to a right knee bruise. He suffered the injury when he fouled a pitch off his knee, which forced him to depart Saturday's game early. The 23-year-old will resume his first-base duties Tuesday after J.D. Davis took over for Sunday's game and following the Angels' off day Monday.

J.D. Davis 1B | LAA
Angels' J.D. Davis: Pushed off 40-man
The Angels designated Davis for assignment Tuesday.
Since joining the active roster April 10, Davis has gone just 1-for-9 with three strikeouts while appearing in only five games. His lack of success and playing time has now caused him to lose his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Gustavo Campero, who was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX
Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Back in lineup Tuesday
Tellez (hand) is back in the lineup and batting sixth for Tuesday's game against the Angels.
Tellez was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup but is back in action against Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz. Tellez is slashing .170/.250/.434 with four home runs, 12 RBI and seven runs scored across 60 plate appearances this season.

Carlos Santana 1B | ARI
Guardians' Carlos Santana: Logs two hits in loss
Santana went 2-for-3 in Monday's 11-1 loss to Minnesota.
Santana snapped a hitless run during Sunday's contest and followed up Monday with his first multi-hit effort in 10 games. He's batting .220 with a .598 OPS through 114 plate appearances.
