Nick Sogard SS | BOS
Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Slated for promotion
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Sogard will be called up from Triple-A Worcester ahead of Wednesday's game at Tampa Bay, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
Alex Bregman will head to the paternity list in a corresponding move, which means he will be unavailable for as many as three games. Sogard will give Cora another infield option while Bregman is away, but it could be Romy Gonzalez who serves as the primary replacement at third base over the next few days.

Will Wagner 2B | SD
Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Sitting against righty again
Wagner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
The lefty-hitting Wagner is off to a 3-for-28 start to the plate in April, and the ongoing slump has started to cost him some playing time. He'll be on the bench for the second time in the Blue Jays' last three matchups versus right-handers, with Ernie Clement getting the nod at third base as Atlanta sends Spencer Strider to the mound.

Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX
Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Starts at first base
Duran started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Angels.
Duran entered the starting lineup with Jake Burger sitting out due to an illness. Duran, who opened the season in Texas and was recently recalled from the minors, is hitless through 14 at-bats.

Brooks Lee SS | MIN
Twins' Brooks Lee: Belts first homer off bench in win
Lee went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Mets.
The former top prospect replaced the injured Carlos Correa (wrist) in the fifth inning, later belting a solo shot in the seventh inning to put the Twins in front 6-3. The status of Correa remains uncertain going forward, and Lee could be primed for more playing time until the former is ready to rejoin the lineup. Through three outings so far this year, Lee has gone 2-for-7 with the aforementioned long ball, two RBI, one walk and one run scored.

Dylan Moore 2B | TEX
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Knocks two homers
Moore went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's loss to Cincinnati.
Moore popped a leadoff homer before adding an RBI single in the second inning. He capped off his day with a two-run shot in the fifth, but unfortunately for Seattle, his four-RBI day was the only offense in the 8-4 loss. Moore's big night boosted his slash line to .306/.375/.639 with four home runs and six RBI through 40 plate appearances.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Homers twice against Tampa Bay
Bregman (personal) went 5-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rays.
Bregman powered the Red Sox's offense Tuesday, with four of his five hits driving in a run. He got Boston on the board with an RBI single in the first inning, then proceeded to belt his third and fourth home runs of the season in the third and seventh innings, respectively. It was Bregman's seventh two-homer game and the first time in his major-league career that he recorded five hits in a game, and he was a triple shy of a cycle. Bregman will fly back to Boston on Wednesday and be placed on the paternity list, which will allow him to miss up to three games. Romy Gonzalez will likely fill in at third base while Bregman is away from the team.

Bregman will fly back to Boston on Wednesday for the birth of his child, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
The Red Sox will place Bregman on the paternity list Wednesday, which will allow him to miss up to three games while he welcomes a new addition to his family. Romy Gonzalez could start at third base while Bregman is away.

Jose Miranda 3B | MIN
Twins' Jose Miranda: Out with hand strain
Triple-A St. Paul placed Miranda on its 7-day injured list Tuesday due to a left hand strain, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
The 26-year-old was optioned to Triple-A over the weekend but will shift to the injured list before seeing game action with St. Paul. According to Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune, Miranda suffered the injury on St. Paul's off day Monday while he was shopping and grabbing for a case of water. Miranda had hit just .167 over 12 games with the Twins prior to his demotion.

Jorge Polanco 2B | NYM
Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Polanco is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Polanco started the previous four games at designated hitter but will receive a day off after going 4-for-13 with a homer, two RBI and two runs during that stretch. The 31-year-old isn't expected to play the field for a bit longer due to lingering side soreness, but the injury hasn't dampened his production early in 2025, as he has a 1.007 OPS with three homers through 11 contests.

Oswaldo Cabrera LF | NYY
Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Cabrera is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
Cabrera has operated as the Yankees' primary third baseman early in the season but will take a seat Tuesday after starting the previous three games. He's batting .278 though 39 plate appearances but doesn't have any extra-base hits. Oswald Peraza is taking his place at the hot corner.
