Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Cabrera is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
Cabrera has operated as the Yankees' primary third baseman early in the season but will take a seat Tuesday after starting the previous three games. He's batting .278 though 39 plate appearances but doesn't have any extra-base hits. Oswald Peraza is taking his place at the hot corner.

Royals' Jonathan India: Absent from Tuesday's lineup
India is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.
India returned to action Monday after sitting out Sunday's contest with right quad tightness. It's not yet clear whether he has had a setback or if this is just maintenance.

Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN
Reds' Noelvi Marte: Returns to Triple-A
The Reds optioned Marte to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old was called up last week and appeared in three games during his brief time in the majors, going 1-for-6 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored. Marte is heading back to the minors with Matt McLain (hamstring) making his return from the injured list Tuesday.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Homers in third straight
Caminero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Red Sox.
The Rays' offense exploded for 16 runs and Caminero played his part with a solo home run in the fifth inning. He has gone yard in three straight games to bring his homer total to four on the campaign. After a relatively slow start to the season, Caminero has three multi-hit games in his last five starts and has six runs scored and six RBI in that span.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Crushes three extra-base hits
Arenado went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, two total runs and two total RBI in Monday's 8-3 victory versus the Astros.
Arenado led a potent Cardinals offense that racked up eight extra-base hits against Astros pitching. Among his knocks were a seventh-inning solo homer and a fifth-inning run-scoring double. Arenado has run hot and cold this season -- he began the campaign with a nine-game hitting streak, then failed to get a hit while going 0-for-14 over his next five contests. The veteran third baseman may be in the midst of another hot streak, though, as he's gone 5-for-8 with four extra-base hits over his past two games.

Matt Chapman 3B | SF
Giants' Matt Chapman: Records RBI single in win
Chapman went 1-for-5 with an RBI during Monday's 10-4 win over the Phillies.
The third baseman singled on a grounder to shortstop Trea Turner in the ninth inning, beating the throw to first and driving in Mike Yastrzemski for the Giants' final run. The RBI single marked Chapman's first hit since the club's win over Seattle on April 5. The 31-year-old didn't draw a walk in the victory, though he's tied for the third-highest total in the majors with 14 free passes thus far. Chapman is slashing .179/.343/.321 with two homers, two doubles, nine RBI, eight runs and a 14:19 BB:K across 70 plate appearances in 16 games.

Royce Lewis 3B | MIN
Twins' Royce Lewis: Begins baseball activities
Lewis (hamstring) has taken on-field batting practice since Thursday and fielded groundballs in defensive drills Monday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Lewis is demonstrating some signs of progress since he suffered a left hamstring strain March 16. It's not clear when he may begin a rehab assignment, but he could be on track to return from the 10-day injured list in early May.

Andy Ibanez 2B | ATH
Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Records two hits, two RBI in win
Ibanez went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 9-1 win over the Brewers.
This was the first multi-hit game of the year for Ibanez, who's been scuffling a bit overall with a .185 batting average. The utility player batted .241 during the regular season for the Tigers in 2024 and .264 the year prior, so he should be able to continue to trend upward in that category.

Austin Riley 3B | ATL
Braves' Austin Riley: Drills two homers
Riley went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Monday's win over Toronto.
Riley knocked a two-run shot in the third inning and added a three-run homer in the fifth. After starting the season in a 5-for-35 (.143) slump, the slugging third baseman has caught fire. He's gone 14-for-31 (.452) with six extra-base hits and eight RBI over his last seven games. During that span, Riley has produced six multi-hit performances.

Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Steals base, drives in three
Hayes went 2-for-4 with a steal and three RBI in Monday's 10-3 victory over the Nationals.
After getting a breather Sunday, the Pittsburgh third baseman opened the game's scoring in the first with a run-scoring single off starter Brad Lord. Hayes later plated two more on another single in the eighth inning, then stole second when on the basepaths. This performance marks the 28-year-old's first multi-hit effort since April 5 against the Yankees. Overall, Hayes is now slashing .232/.317/.339 with three steals across 63 plate appearances.
