  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Angels' J.D. Davis: Pushed off 40-man

    The Angels designated Davis for assignment Tuesday.

    Since joining the active roster April 10, Davis has gone just 1-for-9 with three strikeouts while appearing in only five games. His lack of success and playing time has now caused him to lose his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Gustavo Campero, who was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Back in lineup Tuesday

    Tellez (hand) is back in the lineup and batting sixth for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    Tellez was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup but is back in action against Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz. Tellez is slashing .170/.250/.434 with four home runs, 12 RBI and seven runs scored across 60 plate appearances this season.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: First day off this season

    Naylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    It's the first day off this season for Naylor, who has slashed .318/.388/.505 with four home runs over his first 28 contests in 2025. Pavin Smith is starting at first base and batting seventh in the series opener.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ARI

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Logs two hits in loss

    Santana went 2-for-3 in Monday's 11-1 loss to Minnesota.

    Santana snapped a hitless run during Sunday's contest and followed up Monday with his first multi-hit effort in 10 games. He's batting .220 with a .598 OPS through 114 plate appearances.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Cracks homer in win

    Walker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in an 8-5 win against the Tigers on Monday.

    Walker put the Astros on the board with a two-run shot to left-center field in the fourth inning. The long ball was his fourth of the season, three of which have come over his past eight games. Walker is still slashing a modest .192/.273/.354 on the campaign, but he's shown improvement with a .267 batting average and six RBI to go along with the three homers over the aforementioned eight-game stretch.

  • Xavier Isaac 1B | TB

    Rays' Xavier Isaac: Enjoying three-game hitting streak

    Isaac (elbow) is 4-for-10 with one home run, four RBI and two runs scored over his last three games at Double-A Montgomery.

    Isaac, who began the 2025 campaign on the 7-day injured list due to an elbow injury suffered during spring training, got off to a tough 2-for-20 start at the dish in his first six appearances. However, he's turned the corner of late, racking up three extra-base hits over his last three games, including his first home run of the year.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Expected to return Tuesday

    Arraez (concussion) is expected to be activated from the 7-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game versus the Giants, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Arraez landed on the IL last week following a collision with the Astros' Mauricio Dubon, but he's poised to return after the minimum seven-day absence. The Padres have been using Gavin Sheets as their regular first baseman since Arraez went down, and Sheets will go back to being the club's primary designated hitter when Arraez returns.

  • Nick Kurtz 1B | ATH

    Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Taking seat versus lefty

    Kurtz is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Texas.

    The left-handed-hitting Kurtz started each of the previous three contests when the opponent had a left-hander on the mound, but he'll begin Monday's tilt on the bench as southpaw Patrick Corbin draws the start for the Rangers. Tyler Soderstrom will shift back to first base Monday, and Miguel Andujar will draw the start in left field for the Athletics.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Hits off tee Monday

    Reds manager Terry Francona said that Encarnacion-Strand (back) hit off a tee Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    It's the next step in the progression for Encarnacion-Strand, who was given an epidural last week as he works his way back from low-back inflammation. The infielder has several items he still needs to check off the list before a timetable for his return becomes clearer.

  • Donovan Solano 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Donovan Solano: First extra-base hit this season

    Solano went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's win over Miami.

    Solano, who stepped in at first base for the injured Rowdy Tellez (hand), recorded his first extra-base hit of the campaign Sunday. After batting a strong .286 over 283 regular-season at-bats last year with the Padres, Solano hasn't been able to carve out a steady role for his new team in 2025. The journeyman infielder should handle the bulk of the reps at the cold corner until Tellez is ready to rejoin Seattle's lineup, but Solano is hitting a dreadful .114 (5-for-44) with one RBI and one run scored across 18 outings so far.
