  • Marlins' Deyvison De Los Santos: Set to be recalled

    The Marlins will recall De Los Santos from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Friday's game in Detroit, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

    He's expected to be the roster replacement for Griffin Conine (hamstring), who is bound for the 10-day injured list. De Los Santos was up briefly with the big club earlier this season, going 1-for-2 with a double. He's an option for playing time between first base and designated hitter, though an everyday role is unlikely.

  • Jorge Polanco 1B | NYM

    Mets' Jorge Polanco: Sitting down Thursday

    Polanco isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Polanco will step out of the lineup Thursday after going 4-for-17 with a double over his last four games. His absence will move Francisco Alvarez into the DH spot while Luis Torrens starts behind the plate and bats eighth.

  • Ben Rice 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Ben Rice: Getting start against lefty

    Rice is starting at first base and batting fifth in Thursday's game versus the Athletics.

    Rice was not in the lineup the first time the Yankees faced a lefty earlier this season, but he's in there Thursday over the right-handed-hitting Paul Goldschmidt against southpaw Jeffrey Springs. Springs is not a hard thrower and has reverse splits in his career, and it's that type of lefty Rice is likely to get opportunities against.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Not starting versus lefty

    Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Athletics.

    The Athletics are sending left-hander Jeffrey Springs to the bump, but the Yankees are going with lefty Ben Rice at first base rather than the righty-swinging Goldschmidt. It's only the second lefty the Yanks have faced thus far, and Goldschmidt was in the lineup the first time, but the team will give Rice his chances against lefties this season on occasion.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Adds two-run homer to strong start

    Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Angels.

    Olson is putting together an excellent start to the season, hitting safely in 11 of his first 13 games. Each of his three homers have come in the month of April, during which the All-Star first baseman is hitting .290 with four doubles, seven RBI and six walks across 31 at-bats. Olson is tied for second in the National League with six doubles thus far.

  • Sal Stewart 1B | CIN

    Reds' Sal Stewart: Contributes with bat, legs

    Stewart went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Marlins.

    Stewart stole second base and scored in the first inning before mashing a two-run home run in the fifth, the rookie's third of the season. He's been a nice mix of power and speed out of the cleanup spot for the Reds; the steal was Stewart's third and his .683 slugging percentage (seven XBH) leads Cincinnati.

  • Dustin Harris 1B | CHW

    White Sox's Dustin Harris: Swipes two bags in first start

    Harris went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Orioles.

    Making his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Harris made an immediate impact with his legs -- not a big surprise for a player who went 34-for-39 on steal attempts over 110 games between Triple-A and the majors for the Rangers last season. The 26-year-old outfielder never really got a chance to show what he could do with Texas, but his career .276/.366/.417 slash line over more than 1,300 plate appearances at the top level of the minors suggests he may be able to contribute for Chicago at the plate as well. Harris could see consistent playing time in the short term while Austin Hays (hamstring) and Everson Pereira (ankle) are on the IL.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Rhys Hoskins: Bangs out three doubles Wednesday

    Hoskins went 3-for-4 with three doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Royals.

    The veteran first baseman is still looking for his first homer with the Guardians, but it's only a matter of time. Hoskins has gone 7-for-27 (.259) through nine appearances, and five of those hits have been two-baggers to go along with three runs, two RBI and a 6:12 BB:K.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Heading to bench Wednesday

    Torkelson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Torkelson will hit the bench for just the second time in the Tigers' first 12 games of 2026. Colt Keith will cover first base in place of Torkelson, who is batting .206 with no home runs, four runs and three RBI over 42 plate appearances on the season.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Swats first homer of 2026

    Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Pirates.

    The veteran infielder helped the Padres break open a scoreless tie when he turned on a Justin Lawrence fastball in the seventh inning and parked it in the seats in right-center field. It was Cronenworth's first homer of the year, and after a sluggish 4-for-32 (.125) start to the season, he's gone 3-for-9 over the last three contests with two walks, three RBI and his first two extra-base hits of the season.
