Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Goes deep in loss to Orioles
Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, walk and strikeout in a 9-5 loss to Baltimore.
After hitting just nine home runs in 2024 over 583 at-bats, the 26-year-old is already up to two homers through three games this year. Gimenez was acquired by Toronto from Cleveland in December and has batted cleanup in the first three games of 2025, so it appears he'll have more RBI potential with his new club.

Kristian Campbell 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Blasts first major-league home run
Campbell started in left field went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Campbell tied things up for the Red Sox in the fourth inning when he took Jacob Webb deep for a 431-foot solo homer to center. Campbell earned a spot on Boston's Opening Day roster despite struggling in spring training, but he appears to have settled in nicely and has gone 5-for-10 over his first three major-league games. He's made two starts at second base and one start in left field. He'll look to finish the four-game series off strong Sunday against Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Not starting Saturday
Torres (ribs) is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Saturday.
Torres was removed in the sixth inning of Friday's extra-inning loss when he aggravated a rib injury after hitting a home run in the third frame. The injury doesn't appear to be severe enough for him to warrant a stint on the IL, but he'll sit out of Saturday's contest ahead of Monday's series opener against the Mariners. Colt Keith will start at the keystone and bat fifth against Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Removal deemed precautionary
Torres aggravated a rib injury during Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Seidel of The Detroit Free Press reports.
Torres was grabbing at his left side after hitting a home run in the third inning Friday. He remained in the game for a few additional innings but was eventually removed in the sixth, though the team said after the game that his removal was precautionary due to a rib injury that he's been fighting recently. The Tigers may continue to take a cautious approach and keep Torres out for a game or two, though a trip to the IL doesn't seem imminent.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Exits early Friday
Torres was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers due to an apparent side injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Torres hit a solo home run in the third inning of Friday's contest but was grabbing at his left side while rounding the bases. He remained in the game for a bit longer but was eventually replaced at second base in the sixth frame. The fact that he was able to stay in the game after initially displaying discomfort may be a good sign that his injury is minor, but the Tigers should provide more details on his status in the near future.

Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Not starting Friday
Bliss is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Athletics on Friday.

Dylan Moore 2B | TEX
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Past illness
Moore (illness) is starting at second base and batting eighth in Friday's game against the Athletics.
Moore fell ill towards the tail end of the spring, but he has recovered in advance of Seattle's first series of the year. Moore finished the 2024 regular season with a .201/.320/.367 slash line with 32 stolen bases, 10 home runs and 42 RBI across 441 plate appearances.

Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL
Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Out of lineup again Friday
Dubon is not in the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Mets, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
All signs had pointed to Dubon opening the season as the Astros' starting second baseman, but he's now been on the bench in favor of Brendan Rodgers for each of the first two games. Dubon should still play plenty in a utility role, but it's clear that Rodgers is higher than him in the second base pecking order right now.
