Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Brewers.

As was the case Sunday when the Tigers fell 5-1 to the Twins, Torkelson provided all of the team's offense with a solo shot. The slugger is now up to six home runs through 18 games, and if he keeps up this level of production and stays relatively healthy, Torkelson has a good shot to surpass the career high of 31 long balls he posted back in 2023.

Burger (illness) will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's contest versus the Angels.

Burger missed Tuesday's tilt due to illness but feels well enough to give it a go in this one. The first baseman's tenure with the Rangers hasn't gotten off to an ideal start, as he'll carry a .484 OPS into play Wednesday.

Aranda is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Red Sox.

It's southpaw Sean Newcomb on the bump for the Red Sox, so the lefty-hitting Aranda will yield to the right-handed-batting Curtis Mead at first base. Aranda has been absent from the lineup all four times the Rays have faced a lefty this season.

Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Tuesday against the Athletics.

Vaughn deposited a Jeffrey Springs changeup into deep left field, tying the game up at 3-3 in the first inning. The White Sox are relying on Vaughn to be one of their big bats in 2025, but the former top prospect is off to a brutal start at the dish. Over his first 57 at-bats, Vaughn is slashing just .123/.180/.263 with two homers, two doubles, eight RBI and three runs scored.

Soderstrom went 3-for-5 with a pair of three-run home runs Tuesday against the White Sox.

Soderstrom continued his upstart beginning to the season, cranking his seventh big fly of the year to bring three runs in during the first inning. He wasn't done there, however, launching his eighth long ball to drive in three more runs and push the Athletics in front 9-3 in the sixth inning. The 2020 first-rounder leads the major leagues in homers to this point, slashing an exceptional .328/.403/.734 with two doubles, 17 RBI and 15 runs scored through 72 plate appearances.

Aranda went 2-for-3 with one walk and a solo homer in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Aranda got the Rays in the scoring column in the second inning, when he took the first pitch he saw from Walker Buehler deep to right-center field for a 398-foot solo homer. Aranda has the hot bat as of late, going 14-for-30 with four walks, eight runs scored, three home runs and 10 RBI over his last nine games.

Burger is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels due to an illness but may be available off the bench, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Burger started the previous four contests but will sit for the second time this season due to the ailment. Ezequiel Duran will take over at first base and bat eighth against Halos lefty Yusei Kikuchi.

The Athletics have mulled giving Soderstrom some reps at third base as a way to clear a spot for the arrival of Nick Kurtz, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

It might be the least likely of the numerous ideas the A's are kicking around to come to fruition. Soderstrom has never played third base before, and having him attempt to learn a new position on the fly while he's showing signs of an offensive breakout could be unwise. A likelier scenario is Brent Rooker moving back to the outfield while Soderstrom and Kurtz split reps between first base and designated hitter.

Triple-A Durham activated Morgan (quadricep) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Morgan will make his Triple-A debut Tuesday after he slashed .324/.408/.483 with 10 home runs and 20 stolen bases across three levels in 2024. The 22-year-old could push to make his big-league debut in 2025, although 2026 is more likely.

Aranda went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Red Sox.

Aranda started his eighth straight game with a right-handed pitcher on the mound and helped the Rays to a 16-run outburst. The majority of his damage came in the third inning, when he led off with a single and then later doubled in a pair in the same frame. Aranda has multiple hits in four of his last seven starts and has nine RBI with seven runs scored in that span.
