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.

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.

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.

Royals' Jonathan India: Absent from Tuesday's lineup

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 | ATH
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.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
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.
