The White Sox recalled Burger from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Burger narrowly missed out on a spot on Chicago's Opening Day roster, but he'll be up with the big club just one week into the season with Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) heading to the 10-day injured list. While Jimenez is sidelined, the lefty-hitting Gavin Sheets will likely be the top candidate to step in as the White Sox's primary designated hitter, with the righty-hitting Burger representing a potential platoon mate.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Phillies.

Getting the start at first base and hitting leadoff, LeMahieu spoiled the Phillies' combined shutout bid by taking Craig Kimbrel deep in the ninth inning. It's LeMahieu's first homer of the season, and the veteran super-utility player has already seen action at three different infield positions this season while batting .294 (5-for-17) through four games with a double, a triple, two RBI and four runs scored.

Duffy went 3-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Individually, this was an encouraging game from Duffy, but the hitters behind him in the order went a combined 0-for-11 with one walk. Through two games, Duffy is 5-for-7 with a home run, two RBI and one strikeout. He's been one of the Royals' few bright spots, so there's a case to be made for him challenging for more regular playing time -- at least against southpaws.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters that Henderson is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers while dealing with a sore right hand, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

"He's fine, just it's tender," Hyde said while also noting that Henderson could be available off the bench to pinch-hit. The rookie took a 107 mph grounder off his right hand in Monday's game against the Rangers, and Baltimore will give the 21-year-old some rest to recover. There's a very good chance Henderson will be back in the lineup Wednesday, but fantasy managers will want to pay close attention.

Henderson isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

After recording his first two hits of the season Monday, including a home run off Jon Gray, Henderson will get a day off Tuesday against fellow lefty Andrew Heaney. His absence from the lineup moves Ramon Urias to third base, Anthony Santander into the designated hitter role and allows Ryan McKenna to play in left field and bat ninth.

Paredes is absent from the Rays' lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.

Paredes clubbed his first home run of the season in Monday's win but finds himself riding the pine a day later. Tampa Bay is going with the slick-fielding Taylor Walls at third base.

Gelof is on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Las Vegas with a left shoulder strain and is expected to return this month, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.

Lockard had a tweet from March 31 where she said Gelof would return in a week, so he shouldn't miss much time at all to start the season. Gelof, who has a chance to be Oakland's second baseman of the future, could reach the majors this summer if he handles Triple-A pitching.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run-scoring double in a loss to the Angels on Monday.

The hot-hitting third baseman delivered his second straight multi-hit effort and his second and third RBI of the young season with his timely knocks. Suarez's encouraging 6-for-20 start at plate now includes a trio of extra-base hits, all two-baggers.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Pirates.

Devers hit his first home run of the season -- the first of three first-inning home runs -- but Boston pitching squandered an early advantage. Thus far, it's looking like Red Sox bats will carry the team, as only one starter has pitched into the fifth inning. Devers has done his part, hitting safely in all four games (8-for-19) with three extra-base hits, five runs scored and two RBI.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 6-2 win against Washington on Monday.

Paredes recorded his first homer of the campaign in the fourth inning, swatting a 404-foot solo shot to left field. He added a leadoff single in the ninth and came around to score Tampa Bay's final run of the contest. Paredes has gotten at least one hit in three of his four contests so far this season and is slashing .308/.308/.538 with three runs and a pair of RBI.
