Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Tyler Freeman will get the nod at second base in the series finale after Farmer occupied the keystone in the first two games at Tampa Bay, going 1-for-6 with two RBI. Farmer and Freeman could form a timeshare at second base until Thairo Estrada (wrist) is ready to make his season debut.

Mervis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

The lefty-hitting Mervis will take a seat for the second day in a row with the Pirates sending another lefty (Andrew Heaney) to the hill. Eric Wagaman will step in for Mervis at first base and will bat cleanup.

Hoskins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Hoskins had started in both of the Brewers' first two games of the season, going 1-for-6 with a pair of walks and an RBI. He'll give way at first base Sunday to Jake Bauers, but Hoskins' spot in Milwaukee's everyday lineup should still be fairly secure with him coming off a 26-homer 2024 regular-season campaign.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.

Naylor hit safely for a third straight game to begin the regular season, but his most memorable play Saturday was getting thrown out at third base for the final out of the fourth inning. He'd doubled to lead off the bottom of the frame and got thrown out by Pete Crow-Armstrong, as he tried to tag up and advance to third later in the inning. Naylor also singled in the ninth and scored on Eugenio Suarez's home run.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in a loss to the Phillies on Saturday.

The first baseman connected for his first homer of the year, a two-run shot with the Nationals down 11-3 in the eighth inning. Lowe added an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth, but it was too little, too late. In 2022, Lowe blasted 27 home runs for the Rangers, but his power numbers dipped to 17 and 16 in the two seasons that followed. Now with a new team, he'll hope to find his power stroke again in 2025.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in a 7-3 win against the Tigers on Saturday.

Freeman put the Dodgers on the board with a 418-foot solo homer in the first inning and added a run-scoring double in the seventh. The star first baseman has gone deep in each of his past two games and has four RBI over that span. Freeman appears to be well past the rib issue that kept him out of Los Angeles' first two games of the campaign in Tokyo during mid-March.

Encarnacion-Strand went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Giants.

Encarnacion-Strand put the Reds ahead in the sixth inning with a solo shot off reliever Spencer Bivens. The 25-year-old earned the starting first base job after posting an .899 OPS over 56 plate appearances this spring. He's carried that momentum into the regular season, delivering back-to-back multi-hit performances to open 2025.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cubs.

Left-hander Shota Imanaga will toe the slab to begin Saturday's contest, so Smith and his career .600 OPS against lefties will remain on the bench. Randal Grichuk will serve as Arizona's designated hitter instead and bat fourth.

Mervis isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

The Marlins will load up their lineup with right-handed bats against southpaw Bailey Falter, so Mervis will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout. Eric Wagaman will fill in as Miami's first baseman and bat fourth.

Wade isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The left-handed bat of Wade will take a seat on the bench Saturday with fellow left-hander Nick Lodolo slated to start on the bump for Cincinnati. Wilmer Flores will shift to first base as a result, allowing Casey Schmitt to serve as San Francisco's designated hitter while batting eighth.
