Guerrero went 3-for-5 with one run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-innings win over the Red Sox.

Guerrero reached base three times and scored one of the Blue Jays' two runs on the same day his 14-year, $500 million contract extension became official. It was his fifth multi-hit game of the season, four of which have come over his last six outings. Guerrero has yet to hit a home run and has started the 2025 campaign slashing .288/.367/.346 with six walks, five runs, three doubles and four RBI across 60 plate appearances.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.

Santana took Sean Burke deep to center field for a 410-foot solo home run, which turned out to be the deciding run in Wednesday's game. Santana is off to a good start in 2025, and over his last eight outings he's gone 10-for-30 with three walks, four runs, two home runs and three RBI.

Vaughn went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts, three walks and one run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Cleveland.

Vaughn was able to reach base three times Wednesday despite not recording a hit, and he scored the first run of the game on a Lenyn Sosa RBI single in the first inning. Vaughn has reached base in six of his last eight games but has gone 5-for-28 with four walks, one home run and five RBI over that span.

Naylor went 3-for-4 with a home run and three total RBI in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Orioles.

Naylor opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first inning before extending the lead to 5-0 with a homer off Dean Kremer in the fifth. While the home run was Naylor's first this season, he's gotten off to a nice start with Arizona, going 16-for-47 (.340) with a .929 OPS, nine RBI and three stolen bases through 13 games.

Mervis went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Mets.

While a fifth-inning RBI single that brought home the game's first run wound up being all the offense Max Meyer and the Marlins' bullpen would need, Mervis added some impressive insurance by golfing an Edwin Diaz slider over the right-field fence in the ninth for a two-run shot. After a 2-for-15 start to the season, Mervis has heated up with six hits and six RBI in the last four games, including his first three long balls of 2025.

Aranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

With lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the hill for the Angels, the Rays will counter with a lineup made up entirely of right-handed and switch hitters. Yandy Diaz and Junior Caminero will start at first base and designated hitter, respectively, while Aranda's streak of five consecutive starts comes to an end.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Freeman (ankle) will be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Freeman has not played any rehab games, but he's been taking live batting practice the last few days and will be thrown back into the lineup this weekend against the Cubs. The veteran first baseman has been out since late March after tweaking his surgically repaired right ankle when he slipped in the shower.

Soderstrom (calf) will start at first base and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Soderstrom was forced out late in Tuesday's 10-4 win due to a right calf contusion, but his early exit was likely precautionary more than anything, given that the Athletics held a six-run lead at the time of his departure. Even with a quick turnaround for Wednesday's day game, Soderstrom is feeling well enough to handle his usual duties as the Athletics' starting first baseman. The 23-year-old has been on fire at the dish to begin the season, batting .378 with a .440 on-base percentage and six home runs through 12 games.

Gonzalez started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Gonzalez replaced the lefty-hitting Triston Casas at first base against Toronto southpaw Easton Lucas. It was the second time this season the Red Sox have faced a left-handed starter, and Gonzalez started at first base in both games. Red Sox manager Alex Cora talked during spring training about Casas being the everyday starter -- against righties and lefties -- but it hasn't played out that way thus far in a small sampling. Gonzalez has hit in four consecutive outings (7-for-15, five runs) and has reached base safely in all five games played.

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said after Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Padres that the right calf injury Soderstrom sustained earlier in the game was a contusion, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

The team initially labeled Soderstrom's injury as right calf tightness shortly after he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, but Kotsay seemed to downplay the severity of the health concern afterward. Before exiting the game, Soderstrom went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. The Athletics will conclude their series with San Diego on Wednesday with a day game after a night game, and it wouldn't be surprising if Soderstrom were held out of that contest, especially with a team off day looming Thursday.
