Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Guardians.

Freeman has had a slow start to the season, going 5-for-24 (.208) over his first six games. He's logged an extra-base hit in two of his last four contests, including his ninth-inning homer Wednesday to keep the Dodgers from getting shut out. The first baseman has added three RBI. The slow start among the Dodgers' top hitters is a little concerning, but the defending champions should be fine in the long run, and Freeman's move down to the cleanup spot versus right-handed pitchers should benefit his run production this year.

Santana is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Starting at first base will be Jose Fernandez, who clubbed two home runs in his first major-league game Tuesday. Santana had started the first five games of the season, going 1-for-16 with a 2:6 BB:K.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Cincinnati.

The left-handed-hitting O'Hearn was in the lineup the first two times the Pirates faced a lefty this season, but he'll take a seat in Wednesday's series finale as the Reds send southpaw Andrew Abbott to the hill. Jake Mangum will cover right field and Spencer Horwitz will handle first base for the Pirates.

Crim (oblique) went 1-for-3 with a single in his first rehab game with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Crim missed most of Cactus League action with a strained oblique but has been deemed ready to play in games again. It's essentially the start of spring training for Crim, so his rehab assignment could be a lengthy one and he's not a given to rejoin the major-league roster at the end of the assignment.

Polanco isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said Monday that Polanco has been dealing with a sore Achilles, and the 32-year-old infielder will now get a chance to rest after opening the series with a 2-for-5 performance. Jared Young will pick up a start at first base as a result and bat fifth.

Vaughn underwent successful left hamate bone surgery Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Vaughn suffered the injury Opening Day and landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday after tests revealed a fracture. The Brewers hope he will be ready to return around mid-May. Jake Bauers and Gary Sanchez will handle first base for the Brewers while Vaughn is sidelined.

Steer is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Steer is just 1-for-13 at the plate to start the season, so he'll get a day to regroup. Will Benson is handling left field and batting sixth in Steer's stead.

Santana started at first base and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 9-6 win over the Tigers.

Santana was in the lineup against a right-hander after Pavin Smith (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. The switch-hitting Santana, in theory, could start against pitchers of either hand, but it's uncertain how manager Torey Lovullo wants to handle first base going forward without Smith. Tim Tawa and Ildemaro Vargas are also options. Santana is 1-for-12 through four games played in the regular season.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Monday that Polanco is dealing with a sore Achilles but feels well enough to serve as a designated hitter, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Polanco is in the Mets' lineup at DH on Monday in St. Louis and could remain in that slot for a bit as a precaution. Jared Young is getting a start at first base Monday in Polanco's place, but it should be Brett Baty getting the bulk of the reps there until Polanco is able to play the field. Baty is starting in right field Monday.

Stewart went 2-for-2 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox.

There was no let-up for Stewart in the third game of the season. He's now had multiple hits and reached base at least three times in all three games, going 7-for-10 with three walks, zero strikeouts and more extra-base hits than singles. He also showed advanced baserunning Sunday, advancing to second base on a flyout to center field, which put him in a position to reach third base when the next batter singled to left field.
