  • Ryan Bliss SS | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Crushes first homer in win

    Bliss went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Monday's 4-3 win over Houston.

    Bliss crushed a two-run homer to left field that traveled 387 feet, putting the Mariners on the board in the fifth inning with his first long ball of the year. The 25-year-old won Seattle's second base job during spring training, having now started 10 of the club's first 11 games at the keystone, but he's slashing just .200/.294/.300 with three RBI and two stolen bases across 30 at-bats and has minimal fantasy appeal while functioning in the lower part of the batting order.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Goes to bench Monday

    Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

    The left-handed-hitting Julien had started in each of the Twins' last five games -- all against right-handed pitchers -- but he went just 3-for-14 with one walk against four strikeouts during that span. Julien will head to the bench Monday even as the Royals send a right-hander (Michael Lorenzen) to the mound, opening up a starting spot in the infield for Jose Miranda.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: First day off Monday

    Campbell is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Blue Jays.

    Campbell had started each of the Red Sox's first 10 games this season, including both legs of a doubleheader Sunday, so he will receive a well-earned day off Monday. David Hamilton is handling second base in the series opener versus Toronto.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Goes deep, swipes bag

    Paris went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Cleveland.

    Paris singled, swiped second base and came around to score in the second inning. He later gave the Angels an insurance run with his solo shot in the eighth. Paris has gone 8-for-18 (.444) with two home runs and four steals through eight games to begin the season. Paris has played center field and second base in 2025 and should continue seeing consistent playing time as long as his bat stays effective.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Hitting bench Sunday

    Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Sosa will head to the bench after he started at second base in the first two games of the series. The 25-year-old has cobbled together a .200/.200/.360 slash line through 25 plate appearances on the season, and he could be at risk of losing playing time with Brooks Baldwin likely to see more reps in the infield with outfielder Mike Tauchman (hamstring) returning from the injured list Sunday.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Not starting Sunday

    Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    The 23-year-old began the season as Detroit's starting first baseman, but he was shifted to second base with Gleyber Torres (oblique) on the injured list. Keith has a .174/.441/.261 slash line through 34 plate appearances this season and is receiving his first day off this season.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Makes splash in Double-A

    Bazzana went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI and four runs scored for Double-A Akron on Saturday.

    Bazzana has made a great first impression at the Double-A level, going 6-for-8 with two walks, two extra-base hits, two steals, three RBI and five runs scored through his first two games for the RubberDucks. The first overall in the 2024 draft, Bazzana immediately showed off his 70-grade hit tool and could breeze through the system on his way toward the starting job at second base for the Guardians later this season.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Homers in Saturday's win

    Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk against the Guardians in Saturday's 10-4 victory.

    Rengifo exited Friday's game early due to left hamstring tightness, but he was back starting at third base Saturday. The hamstring issue didn't seem to affect his swing, as the utility man knocked a solo homer on the third pitch of his first at-bat. Rengifo did give way defensively to Nicky Lopez in the eighth inning, but the Angels were ahead 10-3 at the time, and Rengifo appeared to emerge from the contest without a setback.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Four-game hitting streak

    Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk Saturday against the Twins.

    Rodgers started his fourth consecutive game at second base and has gradually picked up his performance. He has at least one hit in each of those four contests and has doubles in consecutive games. Rodgers appears to have a clear grip on a starting role, and his recent performance should help him maintain playing time.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Pops third homer

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Rangers.

    Lowe popped his third home run of the season in the third inning and now has at least one hit in six of his eight starts. He's hit primarily second in the Rays' order, helping him record at least one RBI in four of his last six contests.
