The Marlins announced Monday that Norby (oblique) is progressing in his baseball activities, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

The report doesn't outline specifically what Norby is doing as he works his way back from a left oblique strain, but the fact that he's not shut down from activity can be taken as a positive sign. Norby still appears to be multiple weeks away from being ready to make his 2025 debut, though a firmer target date for his return should come into focus once he's cleared to go out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Triolo is on the bench for Monday's game against the Rays.

Though he appeared to have a chance at seeing steady playing time at first base to begin the season while Spencer Horwitz (wrist) is on the shelf, Triolo has started just twice through the Pirates' first five games, with one of those coming at third base. Endy Rodriguez has instead emerged as the preferred option at first base and should handle a near-everyday role while moving between that position and catcher.

Freeman is tending to a sore left wrist after being hit by a pitch in the sixth inning of Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Rays, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Making his first start of the season Sunday, Freeman played second base and grounded out in his first at-bat in the top of the third inning before taking his base on the hit-by-pitch in the sixth. Freeman came around to score a game-tying run and then went back out in the field for the bottom of the sixth, but he was lifted for a pinch hitter the next time his turn in the batting order came up in the top of the seventh. Fortunately for Freeman, X-rays on his wrist came back negative, but he's considered day-to-day while he waits for the soreness and swelling to subside. Kyle Farmer will start at second base in Monday's series opener in Philadelphia.

DeJong went 3-for-3 with two doubles in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

After an 0-for-6 start to his Nationals tenure with five strikeouts, DeJong broke out with two-baggers off Aaron Nola and Jose Ruiz. The veteran infielder is just a placeholder at third base for Washington, but he slugged 24 homers in 139 games last year between the White Sox and Royals and he could provide some thump from the bottom half of the order. DeJong isn't likely to do much more than that, however -- he's posted a strikeout rate north of 30 percent in each of the last three seasons, leading to a .205/.263/.372 slash line in 1,119 plate appearances.

Dunn is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Milwaukee will face a left-handed starting pitcher (Kris Bubic) for the third time in four games, and the left-handed-hitting Dunn has found himself on the bench for each of those contests. Vinny Capra will get another start at third base, but Dunn still looks to be in line for the bulk of the playing time at the position as the strong-side platoon option.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Reds.

Chapman doubled the Giants' lead to 4-0 with a two-run homer off Nick Martinez in the sixth inning. The 31-year-old enjoyed a great first season with San Francisco and has started 2025 strong, recording a hit in all three games so far.

Machado (calf) is starting at third base and batting third Sunday against Atlanta, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The 32-year-old departed Saturday's contest due to right calf tightness, but his presence in the lineup Sunday indicates it's not a serious concern. Machado went 2-for-3 with a double and two walks in the season opener, though he's gone 0-for-6 with a strikeout in the past two games.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Hayes has gone 2-for-13 with two runs and two steals through the first three games of the season, and he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Jared Triolo will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Pauley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Pauley went 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI over the Marlins' first two games of the season, but he'll head to the bench for a second straight day with Pittsburgh sending another southpaw (Andrew Heaney) to the bump. Jonah Bride will step in at third base for the lefty-hitting Pauley, who looks poised to fill a strong-side platoon role until Connor Norby (oblique) is ready to return from the injured list.

Candelario served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 3-2 win over San Francisco.

Candelario, who started Opening Day at third base, moved to DH on Saturday when Spencer Steer was given a rest day. Steer is dealing with a wonky shoulder that's limiting him to DH for now. Candelario will see time at third base, first base and DH, while the Reds cope with Steer's situation and Austin Hays' calf injury. Gavin Lux, who is also expected to get starts at the hot corner, has been filling in for Hays in left field. Candelario is keeping himself in the lineup by collecting three hits, two walks and three RBI through eight plate appearances to begin the year.
