Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE
Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Receiving breather Wednesday
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
With lefty Reid Detmers on the hill for the Angels, the left-handed-hitting Manzardo will get a break after he had started in each of the Guardians' last four games. Rhys Hoskins will step in for Manzardo at first base and will bat cleanup.

Spencer Horwitz 1B | PIT
Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Two more hits Tuesday
Horwitz went 2-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rockies.
With a second straight two-hit game, Horwitz now has his average up to a season-high .272, and he's currently riding a six-game hitting streak. In nine games this month, Horwitz is 10-for-30 (.333) with four doubles, one triple, nine RBI, two runs scored and an 8:3 BB:K. On the year, Horwitz has an impressive .393 on-base percentage and has walked more times (23) than he's struck out (18) across 140 trips to the plate.

Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL
Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Not starting Tuesday
Vaughn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Vaughn has gone 3-for-13 with three walks, a double and a homer in five games since coming off the injured list last week, though he finds himself on the bench Tuesday for the second time in Milwaukee's past three contests. Jake Bauers, who has an .850 OPS across 20 at-bats in May, will instead start at first base in the series opener versus San Diego.

Nate Lowe DH | CIN
Reds' Nathaniel Lowe: Sitting again Tuesday
Lowe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
It's the second straight game on the bench versus a right-handed starter for Lowe, who has an .876 OPS through 29 games but has scuffled a bit of late with just four hits and nine strikeouts in his past 22 at-bats. Eugenio Suarez (oblique) isn't expected to come off the injured list in the near future, so Lowe should still get plenty of playing time going forward despite the consecutive absences.

Jonathan Aranda 1B | TB
Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Racks up three RBI in victory
Aranda went 2-for-3 with a home run, two total runs and three total RBI in an 8-5 win over Toronto on Monday.
Aranda got the scoring started with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, added a run-scoring single in the second and swatted a solo homer in the fifth. The 27-year-old had gone 11 games without a long ball coming into Monday, but he's otherwise been hot at the plate, slashing .469/.526/.594 with seven RBI through 10 games in May. Aranda has eight homers through 40 contests on the campaign, putting him well on pace to surpass the career-high 14 long balls he hit across 106 regular-season games in 2025.

Ben Rice 1B | NYY
Yankees' Ben Rice: Swats 13th homer
Rice went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Orioles on Monday.
Rice got the Yankees going with a two-run blast in the third inning. Those ended up being the only runs the team would score, and Rice finished with two of New York's five total hits. The powerful first baseman went 0-for-13 in his prior three contests after returning from a four-game absence due to a hand injury, but Monday's homer suggests the issue is a thing of the past.

Bryce Eldridge DH | SF
Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Will remain in mix for at-bats
Manger Tony Vitello stated Monday that Eldridge will receive a chance to pinch hit in every game that he isn't listed in the starting lineup, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Eldridge isn't in the starting nine for a second straight game, as San Francisco is electing to deploy Casey Schmitt at first base and Rafael Devers in the designated hitter slot for Monday's series opener against the Dodgers. However, Vitello acknowledged that Eldridge will remain in contention for starts, and the club will also utilize his power bat off the bench in late-game situations as needed in an effort to continue his development.

Carlos Santana 1B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Carlos Santana: Setback on rehab assignment
Santana suffered a setback with his right adductor strain Sunday while on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Santana had appeared poised for activation from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Rangers, but his status is now up in the air. The 40-year-old was functioning as the Diamondbacks' primary first baseman before getting hurt in early April, but with the emergence of Ildemaro Vargas, Santana could be looking at a reduced role when he does make it back.

Jack Gurevitch 1B | STL
Cardinals' Jack Gurevitch: Moving up to High-A
Gurevitch was promoted from Single-A Palm Beach to High-A Peoria on Monday.
Gurevitch earned a bump up to a new level after slashing .274/.398/.538 with six home runs and a 20:39 BB:K over 28 games with Palm Beach. The 22-year-old was a third-round pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.

Dustin Harris LF | HOU
White Sox's Dustin Harris: Back with ChiSox on MiLB deal
The White Sox signed Harris to a minor-league contract Monday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
It's a return to the organization Harris started with this season before he went from the White Sox to the Astros via waivers last month. In 17 games this season between both stops, Harris has slashed .233/.333/.302 with no home runs, four stolen bases and a 6:7 BB:K. He will report to Triple-A Charlotte.
