Rays' Junior Caminero: Homers in third straight
Caminero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Red Sox.
The Rays' offense exploded for 16 runs and Caminero played his part with a solo home run in the fifth inning. He has gone yard in three straight games to bring his homer total to four on the campaign. After a relatively slow start to the season, Caminero has three multi-hit games in his last five starts and has six runs scored and six RBI in that span.

Twins' Royce Lewis: Begins baseball activities
Lewis (hamstring) has taken on-field batting practice since Thursday and fielded groundballs in defensive drills Monday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Lewis is demonstrating some signs of progress since he suffered a left hamstring strain March 16. It's not clear when he may begin a rehab assignment, but he could be on track to return from the 10-day injured list in early May.

Andy Ibanez 2B | LAD
Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Records two hits, two RBI in win
Ibanez went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 9-1 win over the Brewers.
This was the first multi-hit game of the year for Ibanez, who's been scuffling a bit overall with a .185 batting average. The utility player batted .241 during the regular season for the Tigers in 2024 and .264 the year prior, so he should be able to continue to trend upward in that category.

Royals' Jonathan India: Back in action Monday
India (quadricep) will serve as the Royals' designated hitter and leadoff batter in Monday's game against the Yankees.
He'll re-enter starting nine after he sat out his first game of the season in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Guardians while tending to right quad tightness. The Royals will ease India back into the lineup in a non-defensive role, but he should be ready to resume playing in left field or at third base within the next few days.
