Paredes went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 8-6 victory versus the Rockies.

The Rays were down by three runs with two outs in the eighth inning before Paredes ignited a comeback with a solo shot to left field. Prior to that, he had produced Tampa Bay's first run with a single in the first frame. Paredes is off to a nice start to the campaign, slashing .258/.324/.548 with three homers and seven RBI through 34 plate appearances, though his 35.3 percent strikeout rate so far is almost double his mark from last season.

Gelof went 0-for-1 with three walks, three runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Tigers.

It was an impressive display of patience from the 24-year-old second baseman, who managed an 8.7 percent walk rate as a rookie in 2023 but routinely posted marks in double digits in the minors. Gelof has struggled so far this season when he's had to swing the bat, however, going 5-for-32 (.156) with 13 strikeouts to balance out his five free passes, while chipping in two doubles, two steals and five runs.

LeMahieu (foot) took part in on-field batting practice Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone noted that he believes LeMahieu could be ready to resume playing soon. The veteran third baseman started the season on the 10-day IL and is working through a bone fracture in his right foot. Oswaldo Cabrera and Jon Berti will continue to hold down third base in LeMahieu's absence.

Urias is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Urias will have Saturday off after starting the two previous games, going 1-for-7 with one run over that span. Jordan Westburg will shift to third base while Jorge Mateo gets the start at second.

Toro is not in the Athletics' starting lineup Saturday against the Tigers.

Toro got his first hit of the season Friday with a two-run home run. He'll be in the dugout to start Saturday's contest, with Brent Rooker drawing the start at DH and batting in the cleanup spot against Tigers right-hander Kenta Maeda.

Nevin is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Tigers.

Nevin has started in left field in Oakland's last two games, going 1-for-4 with one walk over that span. He'll retreat to the bench against Tigers right-hander Kenta Maeda on Saturday, with Seth Brown drawing the start at left field.

Henderson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Henderson went just 1-for-11 during the Orioles' three-game series versus the Royals, but he snapped out of the funk Friday. He swatted his second homer of the campaign in the third inning and also scored in the seventh after getting aboard on a single. The shortstop is hitting .269 with six RBI, six runs scored, two homers and a triple over 30 plate appearances. He has yet to hit anywhere but leadoff this season.

Keith is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

Keith went 1-for-12 through the first four games of the season, but his bat came alive during Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets as he went 3-for-8 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs. Andy Ibanez will start at the keystone Friday against Oakland lefty JP Sears.

Cabrera is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Blue Jays.

Toronto is sending left-hander Yusei Kikuchi to the mound, so the Yankees are going with Jon Berti at third base while the switch-hitting Cabrera begins this one on the bench. After going 7-for-13 in his first three games of the season, Cabrera is 2-for-13 over his last four contests.

Keith went 3-for-8 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets. He also stole a base.

The double and the stolen base were both firsts for Keith at the MLB level. The 22-year-old isn't really known for his speed, as he never stole more than four bases in a season during his time in the minors. Instead, Keith should display more power when he settles in with the Tigers, as he posted an .890 OPS last season with Triple-A Toledo and a .976 OPS in 2022 with Double-A Erie. He only has a .554 OPS so far this year, but fantasy managers should remain patient because the upside is there.
