Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Sitting for Game 1
Rutschman isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Detroit.

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.

Blake Mitchell C | KC
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.

Hunter Goodman RF | COL
Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Scores three runs
Goodman went 2-for-3 with two walks, two doubles and three runs scored Friday against the Reds.
Goodman's production has come in waves this season, but he's performed well across his last 10 games. He had at least one hit in eight of his last nine games entering Friday, going 9-for-33 with two home runs, six RBI and six runs scored over that span. Goodman's production also hasn't come solely thanks to Coors Field.

Agustin Ramirez C | MIA
Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Impressive start continues in win
Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Friday's win over Seattle.
The rookie catcher continued his impressive start to his major-league career, adding his first home run Friday. Ramirez now has an extra-base hit and multiple knocks in each of his first three games, and he also has two walks and a stolen base through 12 plate appearances. With Nick Fortes (oblique) and Rob Brantly (lat) both on the injured list, Ramirez -- who is one of Miami's top prospects -- has an opportunity to establish himself at the highest level.

Alejandro Kirk C | TOR
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.

Braxton Fulford C | COL
Rockies' Braxton Fulford: Optioned to Triple-A
The Rockies optioned Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Fulford was promoted to the majors April 14 and smacked his first big-league home run this past Sunday against the Nationals. He appeared in four games (two starts) for the Rockies as the third catcher behind Hunter Goodman and Jacob Stallings. Colorado selected Owen Miller's contract from Albuquerque in a corresponding move.
