Kurtz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Mariners.

It's Kurtz's second day off since his promotion in late April and the first time he's been out of the lineup against a right-hander. The rookie has been better so far in May (.278/.417/.389, 7:5 K:BB) after a sluggish April (.250/.240/.250, 12:0 K:BB) but is still looking for his first major-league home run. Tyler Soderstrom is handling first base Wednesday for the Athletics while Seth Brown patrols left field.

Busch is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Justin Turner will pick up the start at first base in place of Busch as the Cubs go with an extra right-handed bat to counter Giants southpaw Robbie Ray. Busch has logged 19 plate appearances against lefties this season and is batting .188 with one extra-base hit (a double) in those matchups.

Triolo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

After making starts at either middle-infield spot in each of the last eight games, Triolo will take a seat for the series finale in St. Louis. Triolo could continue to serve as the Pirates' primary shortstop until Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) is cleared to return from the injured list, but Liover Peguero gets the nod Wednesday.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in an extra-inning loss to Miami on Tuesday.

Freeman twice gave the Dodgers a lead in the contest -- he plated a run with a single in the first inning and belted a 405-foot solo shot to center field in the sixth. The star first baseman not only has an 11-game hitting streak going, he's also tallied multiple hits in seven of those contests and is slashing a scorching .452/.531/.810 with four home runs, 14 RBI, 10 runs and a 7:6 BB:K during that span. Freeman missed some time earlier in the season due to an ankle injury and doesn't have enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting-average leaderboard, but if he did he'd be leading the National League with a .344 mark.

Toro started at first base and went 1-for-3 in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Rangers.

It was mostly a good night for Toro, who made his first start since having his contract selected from Triple-A Worcester last Saturday. He was involved in an unassisted double play early and later roped an opposite-field single off the Green Monster, though he was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. Romy Gonzalez had started the two previous games at first base in place of the injured Triston Casas (knee) before Toro got his shot Tuesday. For now, there are no plans to move Rafael Devers from DH to first base, so it looks like manager Alex Cora will make do with a Toro/Gonzalez rotation.

Soderstrom went 3-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.

Soderstrom has opened May going 8-for-25 (.320) over six games. It's been mostly an empty average so far this month -- he's added one RBI, one stolen base and three runs scored, and his double Tuesday was his first extra-base hit of the month. Overall, Soderstrom is at a .291/.353/.525 slash line with nine home runs, 25 RBI, 23 runs scored, two stolen bases and six doubles over 37 contests. He's already matched or surpassed many of his totals from 61 games in 2024, so this could end up being a breakout year for the 23-year-old.

Bauers went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

Bauers got his day started with a two-run shot to center field in the first inning to extend the Brewers' lead to 4-0. He's now plated half his runs for the season in his last five games and owns a .358 on-base percentage in 55 plate appearances.

Santana went 4-for-9 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and four runs scored across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader split with the Nationals.

The 39-year-old was productive in both contests, rattling off three singles and scoring twice in the matinee before launching a three-run homer off Brad Lord in the sixth inning of the nightcap. Santana is slashing .236/.329/.350 through 34 games this season with four homers, two steals, 13 RBI and 18 runs.

Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The 28-year-old started the past two games at first base in the wake of Triston Casas' knee injury, but Abraham Toro will make his first start of the season Tuesday. Gonzalez has a .327/.382/.449 slash line with six RBI and three steals through 55 plate appearances this season, and he's likely to operate as Boston's primary first baseman as long as he continues to carry a hot bat.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

The veteran first baseman started the previous seven games and will receive a day off after going 9-for-29 with two homers, seven RBI and seven runs during that span. After posting a career-worst .716 OPS last season, Goldschmidt has enjoyed a resurgence so far in 2025 with a .353/.400/.481 slash line through 35 games.
