Dylan Moore 2B | TEX
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Records steal in return
Moore went 1-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.
Moore missed the minimum 10 days on the injured list due to a mild hip strain. The utility player played the full game in right field, though it's expected he'll move around the lineup going forward. Second base and right field are his best bets for playing time to help cover the absences of Ryan Bliss (biceps) and Luke Raley (oblique). Moore is batting .284 with an .878 OPS, six home runs, 10 RBI, 16 runs scored and six steals over 24 contests this season. That kind of production, as well as multi-position eligibility, makes him a useful player to roster in all fantasy formats.

Brendan Rodgers 2B | HOU
Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Swats three-run homer
Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers.
Rodgers abruptly ended Chad Patrick's night with a three-run blast in the seventh to get the Astros on the board. It was his first home run of the season and first RBIs since April 22. He's now hit safely in five straight games, but Rodgers has largely been unable to give much production, and his home run was just his fourth extra-base hit in 77 plate appearances.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Sitting down for Game 2
Schneemann isn't in the lineup for the nightcap of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.
Schneemann went 0-for-2 with a walk and scored a run during a 10-9 loss in Game 1 and will grab a seat on the bench to finish the day. Gabriel Arias will move to fill the opening at the keystone, opening up shortstop for Brayan Rocchio.

Luis Urias 2B | ATH
Athletics' Luis Urias: Racks up three hits
Urias went 3-for-4 in Monday's 7-6 win over the Mariners in 11 innings.
Urias provided some steady hitting from the No. 9 spot, though all three hits were singles and he wasn't directly involved in any scoring plays. Since April 20, he's been a regular in the Athletics' lineup, and he's gone 14-for-48 (.292) in that span. That has him up to a .272 batting average on the year to go with an .871 OPS, five home runs, nine RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases. Urias is holding down a starting role at second base, and with Zack Gelof (wrist/ribs) pausing his rehab assignment Monday, Urias should get a longer look in the lineup.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Pausing rehab stint
Gelof (wrist) had his rehab assignment paused after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his ribs, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Gelof is on a rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas that started Tuesday as he continues to work back from surgery on his right wrist, but he's now being bothered by his ribs. He'll be shut down from swinging a bat until he can get the stress reaction under control, likely pushing his 2025 debut to late May in a best-case scenario.

Brendan Rodgers 2B | HOU
Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Out of Monday's lineup
Rodgers is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Brewers on Monday.
Rodgers will be in the dugout for the beginning of Monday's game while Mauricio Dubon starts at the keystone and bats ninth against Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers. Rodgers has gone 4-for-15 with two runs scored over his last four games.

Josh Rojas 3B | CHW
White Sox's Josh Rojas: Sitting Monday
Rojas is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Royals.
Rojas started the season on the injured list due to a toe injury, but he made his 2025 debut against the Astros on Sunday and went 0-for-2 with a bases-loaded walk. With southpaw Cole Ragans taking the hill for the Royals on Monday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the contest in the dugout while Miguel Vargas starts at third base and bats second.

Edouard Julien 2B | MIN
Twins' Edouard Julien: Sent down to minors
The Twins optioned Julien to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.
Julien has been unable to find his footing this season, slashing only .198/.288/.319 across 104 plate appearances. With both Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Willi Castro (oblique) retuning from the 10-day injured list, Julien's playing time was set to drop significantly, so he'll head to St. Paul where he can see regular reps.

Willi Castro RF | CHC
Twins' Willi Castro: Back from injured list
The Twins activated Castro (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Castro hasn't played since mid-April because of the injury, but he will skip a rehab assignment and go right back onto the Twins' active roster. The super utility player will be in line for close to everyday playing time, likely alternating across multiple positions.
