Peterson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians on Monday.

Peterson's 401-foot shot to right center in the second inning extended Oakland's lead to 6-2 at the time and served as his first time leaving the yard in an A's uniform. Monday was only Peterson's second start over the first four games of the season, but he should continue to see plenty of opportunity against right-handed pitching.

Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored, two RBI, a steal and a walk in Monday's win against the Athletics.

Ramirez did most of his damage in the eighth inning by scoring a run after smacking an RBI triple. He later singled in a run and swiped second base in the 10th. It was his first multi-hit game of the year after tallying exactly one hit in each of the first four contests. Ramirez has gone 7-for-22 with two steals and three extra-base hits.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Monday's loss to Detroit.

After an 0-for-16 start to his 2023 campaign, Bregman finally looked like himself with a three-hit day. All three hits were singles, though two of them were ripped over 98 mph off the bat. Bregman is now 3-for-21 with two walks and seven strikeouts.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win against Texas.

The star rookie's solo shot in the fourth inning against Jon Gray proved to be the only offense the Orioles needed. Henderson snapped an 0-for-8 skid to begin his 2023 campaign with Monday's multi-hit performance. He also struck out twice, bringing his season K:BB to 6:6.

Rendon's suspension has been reduced to four games and he'll begin serving Monday against the Mariners, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Rendon was initially suspended for five games, but in return for him dropping his appeal the third baseman has the punishment reduced by one game. The suspension comes after Rendon was in an altercation with a fan on Opening Day in Oakland where the third baseman grabbed someone by the shirt while attempting to strike them before leaving the field. He'll be eligible to return Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Rendon (knee) has been suspended five games and received an undisclosed fine for his role in an altercation with a fan on Opening Day in Oakland, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon appears to be appealing the suspension as he's in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners. The veteran first baseman was seen on video grabbing a fan by his shirt and then attempting to strike the fan while using some off-color language in the process. Even if Rendon wins the appeal, it's likely he'll miss at least a a couple of games at some point this spring as punishment.

Urias is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

After striking out in all five of his plate appearances in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Red Sox, Urias saved face to some degree in Baltimore's 9-5 loss in the series finale Sunday, when he went 1-for-3 with a double and a run. He'll cede his spot in the infield in Monday's series opener in Texas to Adam Frazier, who gets the nod at the keystone.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Donaldson will get a breather after he manned third base for each of the Yankees' three games in the team's season-opening series with the Giants, during which he went a collective 2-for-11 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run. Though he remains the team's preferred option at the hot corner, Donaldson will likely be subject to at least one or two days off per week while the Yankees rotate leadoff man DJ LeMahieu across three infield spots.

Chapman went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

The veteran third baseman has gotten off to a blistering start to 2023, going 6-for-12 during a three-game set in St. Louis. Sunday's doubles were Chapman's first extra-base hits of the year, and he's slugged 27 homers in each of the last two seasons. If he can hit for a respectable batting average as well -- the 29-year-old has batted above .249 only once in his big-league career -- he could prove to be a mid-round fantasy steal.

Jung went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Phillies.

Jung launched his first homer of the season to lead off the second inning. His bat was quiet during the Rangers' first two games when the club scored 27 runs, but it was vital in Sunday's low-scoring affair. The third baseman, who had a single and two walks in the first two contests, has crossed the plate four times, which is tied for the team lead.
