Amed Rosario 3B | NYY
Yankees' Amed Rosario: Mashes two homers Tuesday
Rosario went 4-for-6 with two home runs, three total runs and four total RBI in a 15-1 rout of the Royals on Tuesday.
New York put on an explosive offensive performance in the victory, racking up 24 hits, including six homers. Rosario led the way with his two long balls, both of which were two-run shots. The utility man finished with his first multi-hit game since April 18, and the homer was his first since April 22. Rosario has played sporadically this season but has performed well when called upon, slashing .279/.316/.547 with six homers, 13 runs and 20 RBI over 95 plate appearances.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Triples, scores twice Tuesday
Keith went 2-for-2 with a triple and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Angels.
Keith had been slumping a bit with a .160 batting average across his last 10 games, but he snapped out of it with his first multi-hit effort since May 12 before getting lifted for a pinch hitter when Los Angeles turned to lefty reliever Mitch Farris in the fifth. The triple was also the first of the season for the 24-year-old Detroit infielder. Keith is now batting .289 overall, though he rarely gets to face southpaws, which limits his fantasy ceiling.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Opening Tuesday's game on bench
McMahon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
Left-hander Bailey Falter is opening the game on the mound for the Royals, so the left-handed-hitting McMahon will begin the contest on the bench. He could end up subbing in for Amed Rosario -- who will start at third base -- at some point during Tuesday's game once Falter exits.

Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Available off bench Tuesday
Mayo (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.
Though he'll miss out on a fourth consecutive start Tuesday, Mayo said that his sore back feels much better after he went through a pregame workout and anticipates being able to play off the bench, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com. Blaze Alexander will cover third base Tuesday, but Mayo could return to the starting nine at the hot corner in Wednesday's series finale.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Checking back into starting nine
Jung (shoulder) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game against the Astros.
After getting the last two games off to recover from the sore left shoulder that knocked him out of Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels, Jung made enough progress in his recovery to reclaim his usual spot in the starting nine Tuesday. After a disappointing 2025 campaign, Jung has posted a career-best .819 OPS over 199 plate appearances to begin the current season.

Miles Mastrobuoni 2B | SEA
Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Begins rehab assignment
Mastrobuoni (calf) began a rehab assignment Monday with the Mariners' Arizona Complex League affiliate, going 0-for-2 with a 1:1 K:BB.
It was his first game action in more than four weeks, as he is working his way back from a right calf strain. The utility player should move up to a higher affiliate soon and is tracking toward a return in early June.

Addison Barger 3B | TOR
Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Not ready to throw yet
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Barger (elbow) is "probably still a couple days away from starting throwing," Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The club had expressed hope that Barger could do some throwing Sunday, but Schneider said Barger's recovery from right elbow inflammation has "been a little slower" than anticipated. He's already been sidelined for more than two weeks, and with his recovery inching along there's no timetable at this point for Barger's return.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Held out again Monday
Jung (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Astros.
Jung had to be removed from Saturday's game against the Angels because of left shoulder soreness and has now missed two straight starts. Per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, an MRI on Jung's shoulder came back negative. He could return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday, though it's not a given. Ezequiel Duran will grab another start at third base in Jung's stead.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Absent from lineup versus righty
McMahon is not in the lineup for Monday's tilt in Kansas City.
It's a rare instance of the left-handed-hitting McMahon not starting against a right-hander, but it makes sense because righty Michael Wacha has reverse splits. Jose Caballero will slide over to third base and Anthony Volpe will start at second base for the Yankees.
