  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Impressive start to career

    Quero went 2-for-3 with an RBI, two walks and two runs scored Saturday against the Athletics.

    Quero has performed well since being recalled for his big-league debut April 17, with Saturday marking his third multi-hit effort in nine starts. He's also struck out at just a 5.9 percent clip, as opposed to a 15.2 percent walk rate. While he won't remain this successful, Quero certainly doesn't look overmatched in the majors.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Day off Saturday

    Langeliers is not in Saturday's lineup against the White Sox.

    Langeliers had started seven games in a row, so this is just a routine day off. He's hitting .220 with two home runs, four runs, four RBI and one steal over his last 10 games.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Sitting out early game

    Naylor isn't in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Naylor went 0-for-7 with a walk during Cleveland's last series against the Yankees, and he'll now grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's twin bill. Austin Hedges will start behind the plate and bat ninth.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Sitting for Game 1

    Rutschman isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Detroit.

    Rutschman has really been struggling as of late, slashing .128/.227/.231 in 44 plate appearances over his last 10 games. He'll take a game off to begin Saturday's festivities but will likely return to the starting nine for the nightcap. In the meantime, Gary Sanchez will start behind the plate and bat eighth.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Idle for Game 1

    Narvaez isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Narvaez will take a seat after hitting a solo home run and striking out twice Thursday. Blake Sabol will start behind the plate and bat eighth.

  • Royals' Blake Mitchell: Playing at extended spring training

    Mitchell (wrist) has started playing in extended spring training games, MLB.com reports.

    Mitchell broke his right hamate bone in February and was originally expected to miss just four-to-six weeks. It's not clear when he'll make his minor-league season debut. Mitchell was the eighth overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft and spent most of last year at the Single-A level, slashing .240/.375/.443 with 18 home runs, 50 RBI and 24 stolen bases before finishing the campaign with five games at High-A.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Smacks go-ahead double

    Kirk went 2-for-4 with a two-run double in Friday's 4-2 win over the Yankees.

    Kirk's double in the ninth inning off Devin Williams brought home Andres Gimenez and George Springer and gave the Blue Jays a 3-2 lead. It was Kirk's sixth multi-hit game of the season, and the 26-year-old catcher is slashing .227/.263/.307 with four runs scored, one home run and eight RBI in 80 plate appearances.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATL

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Resting Friday

    Heim is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Giants on Friday.

    Heim will get a breather Friday while Kyle Higashioka starts behind home plate and bats ninth. Heim has gone 2-for-8 with a solo home run over his last two starts.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Taking seat Friday

    Quero isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

    Quero will get a chance to rest Friday after going 8-for-24 with four RBI and a run scored through his first eight career MLB games. Matt Thaiss fill in behind the plate and bat sixth.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Getting breather Friday

    Diaz is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Kansas City, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Diaz caught all three games of the Astros' previous series against the Blue Jays, so he'll get a breather Friday. Victor Caratini is behind the dish and batting seventh for Houston.
