Henderson went 3-for-4 with a triple, a home run, three RBI and two runs in Saturday's 13-4 win over the Angels.

The 22-year-old has opened the campaign as Baltimore's leadoff man, and he popped a solo homer on Griffin Canning's sixth pitch of the game Saturday. Henderson is 4-for-8 with a walk, three RBI and three runs through the first two games of the season, and he should continue to be a strong producer across the board for fantasy managers atop a potent Orioles lineup.

Gelof went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in a loss to the Guardians on Saturday.

The Athletics lost for the third time in as many games to open the new campaign, but Gelof broke out of a season-opening 0-for-7 skid with his multi-hit effort. The 24-year-old more than held his own over his first 300 plate appearances against major-league arms last season, and his power-speed combination, combined with what he gleaned from that experience, could well lead to a full breakout 2024.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Devers (shoulder) is feeling better, and the skipper is optimistic the third baseman will return to the lineup Sunday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Devers is sitting out a second straight game Saturday with left shoulder soreness, but he was able to take some swings in the batting cage pregame and is trending in the right direction. Pablo Reyes is filling in at third base for Devers in Saturday's contest versus the Mariners.

Devers (shoulder) isn't in the Red Sox's lineup Saturday against the Mariners, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Left shoulder soreness caused Devers to be scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's contest, and the issue is apparently severe enough to keep him from playing again Saturday. Pablo Reyes will start at third base and bat eighth while Devers recovers.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed Saturday that LeMahieu has a non-displaced bone fracture in his right foot, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

LeMahieu was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. He underwent an MRI on Friday, which revealed the bone fracture, and the veteran infielder will be re-imaged in two weeks. In LeMahieu's absence, Oswaldo Cabrera has drawn the starts at third base to start the season, but the newly acquired Jon Berti could also factor into the mix at the position.

Farmer is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Farmer got the start at second base for the season opener Thursday and finished 0-for-3 with one walk and two strikeouts. With the Royals starting right-hander Seth Lugo on Saturday, Edouard Julien will draw the start at second base. However, Farmer may see most of his action at third base with Royce Lewis out a month or more with a quad injury. Willi Castro and Farmer are likely to platoon at third base in his absence.

Toro is not in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

Toro made his season debut Friday as the designated hitter. He was fifth in the batting order and finished the game 0-for-4. Brent Rooker, who started in the season opener Thursday, will return to the lineup Saturday at DH and will bat in the cleanup spot.

Lewis suffered a severe quad strain during Thursday's game against the Royals and will be sidelined for over a month, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

President of baseball operations Derek Falvey said Saturday that Lewis will require at least one month of rest to simply recover. At that point, the team will reassess his situation and begin to put together a plan to build him back up. With Lewis out, Willi Castro figures to serve as Minnesota's primary third baseman going forward.

Ramirez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-4 win over the Athletics.

Ramirez set the tone with a first-inning blast, but that was his lone hit of the game. He has gone 2-for-10 with a homer and a triple, as well as three RBI and two runs scored, through the first two games of the season. Ramirez hit third against right-hander Ross Stripling, but it's expected the Cleveland third baseman will bat either second or third throughout the season, and it's unclear how much the opposing pitcher will affect manager Stephen Vogt's decisions.

The Twins placed Lewis on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right quadriceps strain, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Lewis was taken out of Thursday's game versus Kansas City after suffering a quad injury while running the bases. He initially said his injury felt like a cramp, but MRI results revealed the injury to be more serious. He'll be sidelined for at least the next 10 days, and the Twins will promote Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul to take Lewis' place on the active roster.
