  • Jared Triolo 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Triolo: Out of lineup Monday

    Triolo isn't included in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Triolo's streak of seven consecutive starts will come to an end Monday with Alika Williams getting the nod at the keystone. The time off could prove beneficial for Triolo, who has gone 2-for-19 at the dish over his last six games.

  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Braves' Luis Guillorme: Sitting against lefty

    Guillorme is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Guillorme and fellow lefty-hitting regular Jarred Kelenic will head to the bench for the series opener while Miami brings southpaw Ryan Weathers to the hill. David Fletcher will spell Guillorme at the keystone.

  • Zach Remillard 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Zach Remillard: Set to lose 40-man spot

    The White Sox are expected to designate Remillard for assignment ahead of Monday's game against the Twins, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    The expected transaction will clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Danny Mendick, who is expected to have his contract selected from Triple-A Charlotte. Remillard has gone 1-for-5 during his brief time in the majors this season and will likely stick around in the organization at Charlotte once he clears waivers.

  • Pablo Reyes RF | SD

    Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Starts at first base

    Reyes started at first base and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

    Reyes slotted in for the injured Triston Casas (rib), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. The Red Sox are concerned that the injury could be a significant one, and Boston manager Alex Cora will use Monday's off day to decide how the team plans to proceed without Casas, according to Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe. Reyes, Rob Refsnyder and Bobby Dalbec, who started at third base Sunday for Rafael Devers (knee), are the primary candidates to play first base.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Homers in Sunday's win

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

    Bogaerts took Chris Bassitt deep in the third for his second home run of the year and later worked a bases-loaded walk in the ninth to give the Padres some insurance. Sunday was Bogaerts' first multi-hit effort since April 3, and he's knocked in runs in back-to-back games for the first time since the opening series in Japan. It's been a slow start for the 31-year-old, as he's now slashing .204/.275/.290 with 10 RBI, 15 runs and a 9:18 BB:K in 102 innings.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | WAS

    Rays' Curtis Mead: Swipes pair of bags

    Mead went 1-for-3 with an RBI and two stolen bases Sunday against the Yankees.

    Mead has been quiet since taking over the primary second base job with Brandon Lowe (oblique) sidelined, as he's gone just 8-for-40 with no extra-base hits. However, he enjoyed a productive Sunday, tallying an RBI single in the eighth inning while also recording the first stolen bases of his big-league career. Despite his struggles, Mead's playing time appears relatively safe, as he's started 11 of the last 13 games for the Rays.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Produces in clean-up role

    Garcia went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base during Sunday's 6-0 win over the Astros.

    Garcia's first inning single off Houston starter Hunter Brown provided the second and third runs for the Nationals. He later added his fifth steal while the three hits raised his average to .317. Perhaps more importantly, it was also the second-consecutive game Garcia was placed in the lineup as the clean-up hitter. Garcia already has seven doubles through 63 at-bats this season after posting 18 over 447 at-bats last year. With the added extra-base pop and a spot in the heart of the order, the 23-year-old Garcia could be in line for a breakout 2024.

  • Tigers' Buddy Kennedy: Launches first homer

    Kennedy went 1-for-2 with a home run, three RBI and a walk in Sunday's win over Minnesota.

    Kennedy brought home a run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning before drilling a two-run shot in the third. It was his first MLB home run since the 2022 campaign. The 25-year-old slashed .288/.354/.509 with nine extra-base hits in 15 games with Triple-A Toledo prior to being called up Saturday.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Drives in two runs

    Hoerner went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Sunday's loss to Miami.

    Hoerner put the Cubs on the board with an RBI single in the second inning before adding an RBI double in the fourth. The 26-year-old began the year in an 8-for-44 slump but has turned things around as of late. Over his last seven appearances, Hoerner has gone 14-for-32 (.438) with six extra-base hits and just three strikeouts. That hot stretch has boosted his season slash line to .289/.389/.395.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Ready for fielding drills

    Albies (toe) isn't wearing a protective walking boot Sunday and has been cleared to participate in fielding drills, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    The 27-year-old landed on the injured list Tuesday with a fractured toe, but he needed only a brief period with the walking boot. Albies will be eligible to be reinstated Friday, but he'd need to progress quickly in his rehab work this week in order to have a chance of being activated at that point. A potential return the following week seems more realistic.
