Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Not in Thursday's lineup
Hayes is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Hayes looks to be getting some routine maintenance for a day game after a night game. With Hayes on the bench, the Pirates will shift Jared Triolo over to third base Thursday and give Alika Williams a start at second base.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Four more hits Wednesday
Bohm went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Reds.
Bohm's been on a tear of late. He now has multiple hits in four straight contests while extending his hitting streak to eight games -- he's 16-for-30 with a 1.522 OPS in that span. The 27-year-old Bohm's now slashing .337/.430/.558 with three homers, 21 RBI and 11 runs scored through his first 25 games this season.

Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL
Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Not in Thursday's lineup
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh.
He started the last four games at third base but will give way to Oliver Dunn for Thursday's tilt. Ortiz has been struggling at the plate lately, going 1-for-13 across his last seven contests, though he does have a 3:3 K:BB over that span.

Nick Senzel 3B | LAD
Nationals' Nick Senzel: Goes yard in Wednesday's loss
Senzel went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 11-2 loss to the Dodgers.
The 28-year-old third baseman produced the Nationals' first run of the night in the second inning by launching a Landon Knack fastball over the fence in left-center field. Senzel has two homers on the season with both coming in the last three games, but he's gone just 5-for-25 with a 2:9 BB:K since returning from the thumb injury he suffered Opening Day. His spot in the starting lineup seems fairly secure unless Brady House forces an early promotion, but Senzel's fantasy upside remains limited.

Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: Swipes two bags
Garcia went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two stolen bases during Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.
Garcia collected his fifth and sixth stolen bases of the season for his second multi-steal game of 2024. He plated Kyle Isbel in the second inning on a single and notched another single in the fifth. Garcia is batting .368 with four runs scored and four RBI in his last five games.

DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY
Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Shut down for seven days
LeMahieu is still dealing with swelling in his right foot and will be shut down from baseball activity for a week, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
LeMahieu had to make an early exit from his first rehab game at Double-A Somerset on Tuesday after his fractured right foot began bothering him in the first inning. After getting checked out by team doctors Wednesday, he will officially be pulled off his rehab assignment and shut down from all activity for the next seven days. Next steps for the 35-year-old infielder will be determined once his seven days are up, though it seems his target return date will be pushed back well into May.

Rafael Devers 3B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Returns with bang
Devers went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over Cleveland.
Devers was in the lineup for the first time in a week while dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee. He returned as the designated hitter and recorded his first multi-hit game since Opening Day. The next hurdle for Devers will be playing a game in the field.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Struggles with abdominal soreness
Gelof was scratched from Oakland's lineup ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Yankees due to left abdominal soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
The severity of the 24-year-old infielder's injury is still unknown, but the team could provide more information after the contest. Gelof had not missed a game with 24 straight starts at second base to begin the season, but that starting streak will end Wednesday. Third baseman Abraham Toro will take the field at the keystone in place of Gelof.

Athletics' Abraham Toro: Added to lineup Wednesday
Toro is starting at second base and batting sixth for Wednesday's outing against the Yankees.
The switch-hitting infielder was originally left out of the starting nine for Wednesday's matchup, but he will take the field and make his first start at second base after Zack Gelof (abdomen) was scratched. Toro currently has a .232/.293/.377 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI and eight runs through 21 games.

Athletics' Zack Gelof: Late scratch Wednesday
Gelof was scratched from Oakland's lineup ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Yankees, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
It's unclear why the A's took Gelof out of their lineup, but the team should offer some clarity soon. Abraham Toro will replace him at the keystone while batting sixth.
