Eric Haase C | SF
Brewers' Eric Haase: Pops homer in team's first win
Haase went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Royals.
With William Contreras serving as the Brewers' designated hitter, Haase picked up his first start of the season behind the dish. Haase provided some pop at the bottom of the order, putting Milwaukee on the board with a 419-foot blast off Michael Lorenzen in the third inning. Despite playing a big part in the leading the Brewers to their first win of 2025, Haase will likely see scant playing time during his second season in Milwaukee with Contreras coming off an All-Star campaign.

Jeffers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Taking seat Tuesday
O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Jason Delay C | BOS
Pirates' Jason Delay: Designated for assignment
The Pirates designated Delay for assignment Tuesday.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Thomas Harrington, who is up to start Tuesday's game against the Rays. Delay is just a career .231/.295/.315 hitter over parts of three big-league seasons but could draw interest via waivers from a club in need of catching depth.

Austin Wells C | NYY
Yankees' Austin Wells: Batting sixth again Tuesday
Wells will start at catcher and bat sixth in Tuesday's contest against the Diamondbacks.
After hitting leadoff on Opening Day, Wells has now batted sixth in three straight games, including in two straight against right-handed pitching. Paul Goldschmidt is again serving as the Yankees' leadoff hitter. The development dings Wells' fantasy outlook a bit, as he had appeared in line to be the team's regular leadoff hitter versus righties.

Jose Trevino C | CIN
Reds' Jose Trevino: Getting breather Tuesday
Trevino is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
Austin Wynns will do the catching while Trevino gets some rest. Trevino has started three of the first five tilts this season, going 2-for-9 at the plate.

Ivan Herrera C | STL
Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Sitting out Tuesday
Herrera is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels.
Herrera -- who sports a 1.055 OPS in the early going -- has now drawn three starts to Pedro Pages' two in the first five games. Pages will do the catching for Matthew Liberatore on Tuesday.
