DeJong is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Diamondbacks.

It's been a struggle for DeJong in the early going this season, as he's just 4-for-18 with 11 strikeouts. He'll get a day off to regroup while Jose Tena plays third base and bats eighth.

The Cardinals recalled Saggese from Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

He's taking the roster spot vacated by Nolan Gorman (hamstring). Saggese had gone 4-for-14 with one home run and a 3:2 K:BB over his first four games with Memphis this season. He is likely to serve in a reserve infielder role.

The Mariners reinstated Polanco from the paternity list Thursday.

After taking two days to welcome a new addition to his family, Polanco will officially be back in action for the Mariners' series opener against San Francisco on Friday. The 31-year-old has gone 6-for-15 with four RBI in four games this season and has collected a base hit in each contest. Leo Rivas was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, two doubles, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Thursday's 8-4 victory over the Orioles.

After failing to record an extra-base hit in his first six games this season, Bregman picked up three in Thursday's win, including a first-inning homer off Charlie Morton, his first long ball with the Red Sox. The 31-year-old Bregman is now 9-for-31 to start the year after slashing .260/.315/.453 with 26 home runs and 75 RBI in 634 plate appearances during the 2024 regular season with the Astros.

Dunn is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Reds.

The Brewers are facing a lefty in Nick Lodolo, which is the fifth time in seven games that they've gone up against a southpaw. Dunn has begun all of those tilts on the bench and will again yield third base to Vinny Capra on Thursday.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that LeMahieu (calf) is "about a week away" from taking live at-bats, SNY.tv reports.

Boone added that it would be "a pretty big build-up" for LeMahieu, who needs to go through the equivalent of a full spring training as he works his way back from a left calf strain. With that rough timeline, it would seem LeMahieu can safely be ruled out for the remainder of April. Oswaldo Cabrera has been serving as the Yankees' primary third baseman this season.

The Athletics reinstated Harris (oblique) from the injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Harris landed on the injured list ahead of the season due to a strained left oblique that's been bothering him since the start of March. He began playing in rehab games at Las Vegas on Sunday, going 3-for-9 with two RBI and two stolen bases, and he'll officially remain in the minors now that he's fully healthy.

Miranda is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

Miranda will take a seat for the second day in a row after getting on base at a .167 clip over 18 plate appearances through his first five starts of the season. The Twins haven't indicated that Miranda is dealing with an injury, so his consecutive benchings seem to be performance-related. The 26-year-old doesn't bring much value defensively at third base, so if he's unable to pick up the pace at the plate anytime soon, Miranda could lose hold of a regular spot in the lineup. Edouard Julien will pick up another start at the keystone Thursday while super-utility man Willi Castro shifts over to third base.

Paredes went 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Giants.

Paredes is off to a frosty start at the dish for his new team, batting .150 (3-for-20) with two RBI in six outings after going 6-for-32 (.188) with one home run during spring training. The righty-hitting infielder's reputation as a pull hitter should eventually translate to more power, with the short porch in left field at Minute Maid Park playing to his strengths.

Smith started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Cincinnati.

For the second straight day, the Rangers made one run enough. On Tuesday, Wyatt Langford's solo home run was the difference, and Smith's fourth-inning, two-out double plated Joc Pederson for the game's lone run Wednesday. Smith made his second start at shortstop and likely would have had a third if not for a minor quadriceps injury. The Rangers appear to be managing Corey Seager early in the season; he's played five of seven games including one at DH. In addition to shortstop, Smith is getting run at third base while Josh Jung (neck) is on the injured list.
