Paredes is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rangers.

Paredes went just 2-for-15 but slugged a home run during the Rays' season-opening four-game set versus the Blue Jays. He'll take a seat for the first time in 2024 while Curtis Mead receives a start at third base.

Devers went 1-for-5 in Sunday's 5-1 win over Seattle.

Devers was back in action after missing two games due to a shoulder injury. He was back at third base and batted second.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-0 win over the Twins.

Garcia didn't show much pop last season with just four homers over 123 contests, but he's already halfway to matching that total in 2024. Both of his hits across three games this season half left the yard. Garcia has also struck out four times. The 24-year-old looks locked in as the Royals' third baseman and leadoff hitter, and he has plenty of protection in the lineup with Bobby Witt batting second.

Caminero suffered a left quadriceps injury Sunday in Triple-A Durham's game against Norfolk, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Prior to exiting the contest, Caminero went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a single, a walk and two runs scored. He pulled up lame running to first base before having to be helped off the field. The Rays' top prospect is expected to undergo further evaluation Monday, and his status moving forward will be worth monitoring. Any time Caminero might have to spend on Durham's 7-day injured list would obviously delay any potential promotion to the majors.

The Athletics claimed Nevin off waivers Sunday.

Nevin was designated for assignment by Baltimore after missing the Opening Day roster and will now receive an opportunity in Oakland. The 26-year-old spent last season with the Tigers and posted a .200/.306/.316 slash line in 41 games. Nevin has no minor-league options remaining and will join the Athletics' 26-man active roster.

Devers (shoulder) will be in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

The 27-year-old sat out the past two days with shoulder soreness but will rejoin the starting nine for Sunday's series finale in Seattle. Devers went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI on Opening Day before being scratched from Friday's lineup.

Freeman went 1-for-5 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Athletics.

Platoons are emerging in right field and at designated hitter, but the right-handed Freeman has started all three games in center field so far. He's done fairly well, going 3-for-12 with two RBI, two walks, two runs scored and one steal on two attempts. It's not enough to say confidently he'll be the starter in center all season -- the Athletics are a soft season-opening series for a Guardians team trying to figure out its best alignment. Still, it's encouraging Freeman is getting early at-bats, though he's yet to excel in any one area. Should Freeman stumble, Estevan Florial represents a possible platoon partner.

Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Urias started the first two games of the season but will head to the bench Sunday after going 0-for-7 with a walk, two runs and a strikeout. Jordan Westburg will shift to the hot corner while Jorge Mateo starts at second base.

Miranda went 2-for-4 with a home run in Saturday's season-opening win for Triple-A St. Paul. He started at first base.

There's been conflicting reports about whether Miranda is at full strength to be able to throw from third base after offseason surgery to remove scar tissue from his right labrum and rotator cuff. He's set to play first base for St. Paul initially this season. As a result, he's not seen as a short-term option to help fill the void at third base with the Twins after the quad injury to Royce Lewis. Miranda could help force the issue if he continues his hot start to the season.

Jung went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Cubs.

Jung provided cushion with a two-run blast that was part of the Rangers' six-run eighth inning. He's played in two straight games after making just eight plate appearances during spring training due to a calf injury.
