Albies went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

Albies opened the scoring in the first inning with an RBI fielder's choice before putting Atlanta ahead 3-2 in the fourth with a 413-foot blast off Michael King. The biggest question for Albies will be health in 2025 -- the 28-year-old second baseman was limited to 99 games last season, during which he slashed .251/.303/.404 with 10 homers and eight stolen bases.

Gonzales was removed from Thursday's game versus Miami due to left ankle soreness, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Gonzales smacked a two-run homer in the sixth inning of Thursday's contest but seemingly injured himself in the process, as he had a noticeable limp while rounding the bases. He's being considered day-to-day for now, though the Pirates' medical staff will continue to keep an eye on him. Adam Frazier entered Thursday's contest as Gonzales' replacement and would be the favorite to start at second base if the latter needs to miss any amount of time.

The Mets placed McNeil (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

McNeil suffered a right oblique strain in mid-March and is set to miss the first couple weeks of the season. Brett Baty and Luisangel Acuna will handle second base for the Mets while McNeil is shelved.

The Diamondbacks placed Alexander on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right oblique strain, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Alexander suffered the injury in late February and only just resumed baseball activities last week. He isn't a given to join the major-league roster once he's physically ready to do so.

Capra will start at third base and bat eighth in Thursday's season opener versus the Yankees.

Capra emerged from spring training with a spot on the Opening Day roster after he turned in a 1.087 OPS with six home runs and two steals across 55 plate appearances in Cactus League play. Though he'll be included in the lineup for the opener, the right-handed-hitting Capra could end up serving as a short-side platoon mate for the lefty-hitting Oliver Dunn, who will take a seat Thursday while southpaw Carlos Rodon takes the hill for the Yankees. Capra will also provide the Brewers with some backup help at shortstop and second base.

Sanoja made the Marlins' Opening Day roster, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Sanoja made his major-league debut for the Marlins in 2024 and appeared in 15 regular-season games. Jesus Sanchez (side) is beginning the season o the injured list, and Sanoja's ability to play multiple positions helped him earn a roster spot as a super-utility player. Sanoja finished spring training with a .297/.381/.378 slash line with five walks, eight runs scored and seven RBI across 42 plate appearances.

Acuna will be on the Mets' Opening Day roster, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

The .966 OPS that Acuna delivered in his first 14 games of MLB action late in the regular season last year didn't quite carry over into spring training, as he wrapped up camp with a .250/.304/.269 slash line alongside five RBI, seven runs scored and three steals in 21 Grapefruit League games. Likely destined to spend most days on the Mets' bench, the 23-year-old's best path to playing time is in the short side of a platoon with Brett Baty at second base until Jeff McNeil (oblique) returns.

The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Wisely competed for a utility role this spring and hit well with an .835 OPS, but the Giants ultimately chose against including him on the Opening Day roster. The 25-year-old will play all over the diamond while at Sacramento.

Bote has exercised his upward mobility clause, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The move allows Bote to leave if another organization wants to give him a major-league contract. If that doesn't happen, he will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Bote had a great spring training, hitting .400 with a couple homers, but he has just 48 plate appearances in the big leagues over the last two seasons.

Hoerner (forearm) will start at second base and bat sixth in Tuesday's exhibition game against Atlanta.

Hoerner will close out the spring having started at the keystone in three of the Cubs' final five games. He has just one hit in six at-bats through his first two starts, but assuming that he's been able to get some additional swings in against live pitching between batting practice and minor-league games, Hoerner looks like he'll be ready to handle an everyday role when the Cubs play their first domestic series of the season later this week in Arizona. While he was still completing his recovery from the flexor tendon surgery he underwent in October, Hoerner wasn't available last week for the Cubs' two-game season-opening series in Tokyo versus the Dodgers, resulting in Jon Berti picking up a pair of starts at second base.
