    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Drives in three Monday

    Torres went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 9-1 win over the Brewers.

    Torres walked and scored to start things off in the top of the first inning, then chipped in an RBI groundout and a two-RBI single later in the game. The infielder has only played in five contests so far, as he missed some time due to an oblique strain, but he's gotten at least one hit every time he's been in the lineup. Overall, Torres is batting .389 with a 1.032 OPS, and a big campaign could be in store if he stays healthy the rest of the way.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Still sitting Monday

    Rodgers (hip) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Rodgers will be on the bench for the fourth straight game while he contends with a sore left hip, paving the way for Mauricio Dubon to make his third start during that stretch. According to Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle, manager Joe Espada said that Rodgers was able to field some grounders Saturday, which suggests that the Astros are viewing the veteran infielder as day-to-day and remain optimistic that he'll avoid a trip to the injured list.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Heads to bench Monday

    Keith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Milwaukee is starting lefty Tyler Alexander, so the lefty-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench. Spencer Torkelson will start at first base, and Justyn-Henry Malloy will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Getting checkup next week

    Kim will travel with the Rays to the West Coast next week to get a checkup with Dr. Neal El Attrache, who performed his October right shoulder surgery, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Kim has been throwing while taking infield and doing other baseball activities and will be looked at by Dr. El Attrache to check his progress. The 29-year-old aims to make his season debut before the end of May, and it's possible a timetable for a rehab assignment will come into focus after next week's exam.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Ends dry spell at plate

    Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Giants.

    One of the multiple Yankees players who's been using a torpedo bat this season, Chisholm made some early waves by slugging four home runs in the team's first two series of the campaign, but his power surge has since tapered off a bit. He had gone just 2-for-31 with a pair of doubles over his previous eight games before ending his dry spell in the home-run column when he took Tyler Rogers deep in the eighth inning of Sunday's contest. If health prevails, Chisholm -- who has gone 4-for-4 in stolen-base attempts -- still looks to be a good bet for a second straight 20-20 season and perhaps even his first 30-30 season, but he's been sacrificing some of his contact skills as he sells out for more power. As a consequence, he's struck out at a career-high 36.9 percent rate this season, which has limited him to a .169 batting average and a Statcast-measured .210 xBA.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Minimal progress

    Rojas (toe) is still experiencing pain while moving side to side in cleats, MLB.com reports.

    Rojas hasn't made much progress in his recovery from a hairline fracture, though it was noted that he felt okay doing work on turf. He isn't expected to be able to return until early May.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Hits first homer of season

    Julien went 1-for-4 with a home run in Sunday's victory over the Tigers. He started at second base and hit leadoff.

    Julien has been improving at the plate and gaining more playing time in the last week. He's hitting .380 (8-for-21) with a home run over his last eight games. He could stay in the leadoff role against right-handed pitching if he stays hot.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Doubles, scores in loss

    Schneemann went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Royals.

    Schneemann was involved in a "little-league home run" in the second inning when his run-producing double led to an errant throw, allowing him to score. The double snapped an 0-for-15 run for Schneeman, who has just two hits and is batting .091.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Getting Sunday off

    Semien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Semien will get his first day off this season after starting at second base and leading off in each of Texas' first 15 games. With Semien getting off to a 5-for-38 start to April, he stands to benefit from a chance to clear his head. Designated hitter Joc Pederson will assume leadoff duties, while Josh Smith fills in for Semien at second base.

  • Ryan Bliss SS | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Mariners transferred Bliss (biceps) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

    Bliss is expected to miss up to five months after he underwent surgery Friday to repair a left biceps tear, so his move to the 60-day IL won't affect his timeline. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Ben Williamson, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma.
