Sosa is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins.

Sosa has now started four of the first six contests this season at second base. He will begin Wednesday's tilt on the bench as Brooks Baldwin mans the keystone for the White Sox.

Sosa went 3-for-4 with a double Tuesday against the Twins.

Sosa made an early impression by slugging a home run on Opening Day. However, he was hitless across his last eight plate appearances entering Tuesday's action, and he now has four hits across 16 at-bats for the season. Sosa has started four of five games at second base with Josh Rojas (toe) sidelined.

Lowe went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk, three RBI and two runs in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

Lowe buoyed the Rays with a two-run blast in the fourth and added another RBI with a base knock in the eighth. He's enjoyed a productive homestand to open up the 2025 season and is the team leader in hits (seven), RBI (five) and home runs (two) through the first five games of the year.

Rengifo went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-inning win over St. Louis.

Rengifo doubled to plate Tim Anderson and get the Angels on the board in the second inning of Tuesday's high-scoring affair. Although Rengifo is batting just .211 through 19 at-bats to begin the season, it's encouraging to see the utility man healthy after missing time during spring training with a hamstring injury.

Cronenworth is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

After starting the first five games of the season and going 3-for-15 with a double, a homer and a 4:6 BB:K, Cronenworth will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Jose Iglesias will man the keystone and bat seventh against Cleveland lefty Logan Allen.

Fitzgerald is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Fitzgerald started the first four games of the season at second base and will receive a day off after going 4-for-14 with a double, two runs, a stolen base and four strikeouts. Rookie Christian Koss is making his MLB debut at the keystone Tuesday.

Julien will start at designated hitter and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

It's the first start of the season for Julien, who has been limited in the early going due to an illness. He did receive three plate appearances off the bench in Monday's loss to the White Sox, going hitless.

Baty is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

The lefty-hitting Baty started the past three games after sitting against a southpaw starter Opening Day, and he'll head to the bench Tuesday after going 1-for-9 with a double and three strikeouts to begin the campaign. Luisangel Acuna will man the keystone and bat eighth against Miami righty Sandy Alcantara.

The Rays placed Kim (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Kim didn't play in any games during spring training while continuing his recovery from October surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, but he was throwing, hitting and taking part in fielding drills by the end of the spring. The 29-year-old expressed optimism that he'll be ready to come off the IL by the end of April, but a May debut looks more realistic for Kim, who should handle an everyday role in the middle infield once he's officially cleared.

Gorman is starting at designated hitter and batting fifth in Tuesday's contest versus the Angels.

It's just his second start in the Cardinals' first five games, but Gorman had three hits -- including a home run -- in his first start. Willson Contreras is getting a day off in this one, as Alec Burleson will shift from DH to first base.
