Bregman went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to Pittsburgh.

Bregman has struggled for the first week-plus of the season but he didn't have any issues Tuesday. He blasted a solo homer off Mitch Keller two batters into the game, the first round tripper of the season for the third baseman. Even with the pair of extra-base hits, Bregman is slashing just .188/.316/.271 on the young season, but history tells us those numbers should rise considerably as the season progresses.

Maton went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Maton provided all the offense for the Tigers in the 9-3 loss with his first home run of the season in the second inning. It was only the third hit overall for the third baseman, who's batting just .120 in the early going. Maton should continue to see regular playing time, though it remains to be seen if he'll have much of a fantasy impact moving forward.

Rendon (shoulder) is hitting fourth and playing third base Tuesday against the Nationals, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon was a late scratch from Monday's lineup with soreness in his left shoulder, but he's feeling well enough to hit in the middle of the Angels' lineup against Josiah Gray.

Walls (elbow) told reporters that he is available off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox and could return to the starting lineup as soon as Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls is dealing with tendinitis in his left elbow. The infielder will take a seat to start the game against the Red Sox, but he has a good chance of contributing in some capacity before the week ends.

Donaldson (hamstring) has been upping the intensity of his workouts, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

It's not clear whether Donaldson has tested out his hamstring with any running yet, but he appears to be making progress. The hope is that he'll be ready for activation when his 10 days are up.

Burger is starting at third base and batting sixth for the White Sox in Tuesday's game versus the Twins.

The White Sox have been forced to shuffle things around as they deal with multiple injuries and Burger is one of the guys who could see a boost in playing time as a result. He's 3-for-8 with a home run and a pair of doubles in four games with the big club this season.

Moncada (back) is expected to remain sidelined for the final two games of the White Sox's series with the Twins on Tuesday and Wednesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Moncada sat out Monday's 4-3 win with back tightness and looks poised to miss at least two more games. The White Sox have an off day Thursday before beginning a home series Friday with Baltimore, so perhaps Moncada will be ready to play by this weekend. Hanser Alberto and Jake Burger could see time at the hot corner while Moncada is banged up.

Peterson went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Orioles on Monday.

Peterson's multi-hit effort was both the only one of the night for the Athletics and the first of the season for the veteran, who's now hit safely in three of the last four games. The 32-year-old has a ways to go toward a palatable slash line, however, as he's still carrying figures of .172/.194/.310 over his first 31 plate appearances.

Ramirez went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.

Ramirez's season-opening hitting streak ended at 10 games, but he was able to pick up his fourth steal in as many attempts through 11 contests. The third baseman is still looking for his first home run, but he has five extra-base hits and is slashing .273/.377/.409 through 53 plate appearances.

Rendon won't play Monday against the Nationals due to left shoulder soreness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon was initially slated to draw the start at the hot corner, but he'll take a seat due to the shoulder issue. He may have picked up the injury Sunday after being struck by a pitch. Gio Urshela draws the start at third and will bat seventh in Rendon's absence.
