Kyren Paris SS | LAA
Angels' Kyren Paris: Subs in for injured Adell
Paris went 1-for-2 with a stolen base after entering Saturday's win against the White Sox in the fifth inning for Jo Adell (hip).
Adell grabbed at his left hip after beating out an infield single and was promptly removed from the game. Paris entered and stole second base, though he was left stranded there, and played the rest of the game in center field, where Adell had been stationed. It's unclear if Adell will need to miss more time -- he said after the game that he expects to "be OK," per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register -- but if he does, Paris could log some starts in the outfield in his place.

Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Fills in at third base
Arias entered to play third base after Jose Ramirez (wrist) was removed from Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Royals. He grounded out in his lone at-bat.
Ramirez injured his wrist on an attempted steal in the third inning and eventually left the game in the fifth. Either Arias or Daniel Schneemann can fill in if Ramirez needs a few days off. Arias, who started at second base Opening Day, was on the bench to start Saturday's game while Schneemann handled the keystone.

Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Homers, scores three times in win
Stott went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a double, two additional runs and two walks in the Phillies' 11-6 win over Washington on Saturday.
The second baseman was a menace against the Nationals and provided plenty of thump at the bottom of the Philadelphia lineup. His two-run homer in the fourth inning tied the ballgame at 2-2, and he scored again in the sixth inning on a wild pitch before his final run in the seventh inning. Stott went hitless Opening Day and slumped to a .245 average during the regular season last year, but there's optimism he can rebound closer to the .280 average he posted as a sophomore in 2023.

Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Launches first long ball of season
Chisholm went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run in Saturday's 20-9 victory versus Milwaukee.
The Yankees set a franchise record with nine home runs in the rout, and Chisholm got in on the action with a 442-foot solo blast in the third inning. The veteran slugger slotted into the cleanup spot but mostly came up with the bases empty since Aaron Judge blasted three homers one spot ahead of him in the lineup. Chisholm's big performance followed an 0-for-3, two-strikeout performance in New York's season opener.

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.

Otto Lopez SS | MIA
Marlins' Otto Lopez: Swipes bag in win
Lopez went 3-for-5 with a walk, one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Pirates.
Lopez stole his first base of the season in the third inning and later scored the game-winning run in the 12th frame. While the Marlins' lineup may not generate much excitement, the 26-year-old has tallied five hits with a homer, four RBI, three runs scored and a steal across the season's first three games.

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.
