Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Taking seat again Sunday
Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
The Angels will keep Moncada on the bench for the second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher, as Oswald Peraza will get the nod at third base against Mets righty Clay Holmes in the series finale. Manager Kurt Suzuki hasn't indicated that Moncada is on shaky ground atop the depth chart, as the skipper may have just wanted to reward Peraza with another start after a three-hit effort in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win.

Kyle Karros 3B | COL
Rockies' Kyle Karros: Spectating with righty on mound
Karros is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Karros will hit the bench for the second time in the series, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. Willi Castro will step in at third base in place of Karros, who has a modest four-game hitting streak going but has cobbled together an underwhelming .213/.339/.277 slash line over 115 plate appearances on the season.

Brady House 3B | WAS
Nationals' Brady House: Taking seat Sunday
House is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
He'll hit the bench for the series finale while the Nationals go with Jorbit Vivas at third base and Jose Tena at designated hitter. House hasn't produced multiple hits in a start since April 14 and is slashing just .175/.242/.281 with two home runs, one steal, eight RBI and six runs over his ensuing 15 games.

Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Taking seat Sunday
Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Hayes will hit the bench for the second time in the past four games. The 29-year-old's .119/.278/.190 slash line through 90 plate appearances this season may finally be costing him playing time, although his expected stats (including a .237 xBA and .416 xSLG) aren't as dire. Sal Stewart is getting a look at third base Sunday while Spencer Steer starts at first base.

Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Handed first day off of 2026
Henderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Henderson had started in each of the Orioles' first 33 games of the season and hit a bit of a rough patch with six strikeouts over his last three contests, prompting manager Craig Albernaz to give the star shortstop his first day off of 2026. With lefty Max Fried on the mound for the Yankees, the Orioles will go with an all right-handed-hitting lineup that includes Blaze Alexander as Henderson's replacement at shortstop.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Records first stolen base in win
Keith went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Keith tallied his first stolen base of the year as he continued his strong start from a contact perspective. The 24-year-old is now slashing .326/.360/.400 through 30 games, though he's yet to go deep and only has six RBI. Keith also isn't likely to steal many more bases, as he only had one of them in 2025, but his other counting stats should begin to tick upward if he keeps swinging a hot bat.

Rafael Devers 3B | SF
Giants' Rafael Devers: Logs RBI double in loss
Devers went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Rays.
Devers hit a two-out double to center field in the sixth inning, driving in San Francisco's lone run. The veteran infielder has recorded a hit in three straight outings following a six-game stretch in which he logged just one hit. The 29-year-old is now slashing .211/.250/.297 with 12 RBI, eight runs scored and two home runs across 136 plate appearances in what has been a lackluster start to the season for both Devers and the Giants.

Austin Riley 3B | ATL
Braves' Austin Riley: Shows off power, speed in rout
Riley went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Rockies.
The 29-year-old ended up in an 0-for-15 cold spell over his final four outings of April, but he's starting the month of May off on the right foot. Saturday marked the first time this year that Riley both left the yard and swiped a bag in the same game. Riley, who hit seventh in the Atlanta lineup Saturday, is still batting a poor .205 with four homers, six doubles, 20 RBI and three stolen bases over 127 at-bats.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Hits big milestone Saturday
Ramirez went 1-for-6 with a double, a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 14-6 win over the A's.
The steal was Ramirez's AL-leading 13th of the season and the 300th of his MLB career, making him just the second player in Cleveland franchise history to reach that milestone after Kenny Lofton. Ramirez also has 291 career homers, putting him weeks away from becoming the ninth member of the exclusive 300-300 club -- a group that includes Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Andre Dawson and Carlos Beltran, as well as Alex Rodriguez and the father and son duo of Bobby and Barry Bonds. Steve Finley and Reggie Sanders round out the list. Through 34 games this season, Ramirez is slashing .214/.336/.421 with six homers, 14 RBI and 20 runs.
