  • Trevor Larnach LF | MIN

    Twins' Trevor Larnach: Taking seat against southpaw

    Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

    Larnach is one of many Twins players in a platoon, and his absence from the lineup Tuesday will leave DH duties to Ryan Jeffers, who's batting second. Larnach is amidst an ugly slump, going hitless in his last 17 at-bats.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: Sitting again Monday

    Garver is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

    Garver returned to action Friday after missing a couple games due to back spasms, but he now finds himself on the bench for a second straight contest. Mitch Haniger will serve as the designated hitter while Luke Raley receives a start in the outfield.

  • Royals' Nelson Velazquez: Taking seat Monday

    Velazquez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

    Velazquez had started seven of the last eight contests but will begin this one on the bench. Salvador Perez will be the designated hitter, Hunter Renfroe will start in right field and Freddy Fermin will be at catcher.

  • Eloy Jimenez DH | BAL

    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Swipes third bag

    Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Sunday against the Yankees.

    Jimenez had a hit in all three games of the team's weekend series, but none went for extra bases, and he also didn't record any RBI or runs. However, he did steal his third base of the season Sunday and his second in his last four games. It's unclear what has led to his sudden aggressiveness on the basepaths, as he had never attempted a stolen base across the first five seasons of his career.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | BAL

    Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Smacks homer in win

    O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

    O'Hearn had gone nine games without an extra-base hit, hitting .240 (6-for-25) with three RBI in that span. The 30-year-old broke his power drought with a third-inning homer off Mariners starter George Kirby to give the Orioles a 4-1 lead. O'Hearn is up to six homers, 15 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .288/.368/.510 slash line through 33 contests in a strong-side platoon role while seeing time at designated hitter and first base and in the corner outfield spots.

  • Blue Jays' Daniel Vogelbach: Scores thrice

    Vogelbach went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two additional runs scored during Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rays.

    Vogelbach needed his second career triple to hit for the cycle Sunday after notching a single, double and solo homer off Aaron Civale. The performance marked Vogelbach's 10th career game with at least three hits and his first since July 7, 2023. Sunday's homer was Vogelbach's first of the season and could be what he needs after opening 2024 going 4-for-37 (.108) at the plate.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Garver started the first two games of the series after missing the previous two contests with back spasms, and he'll sit for Sunday's finale. Cal Raleigh will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Seby Zavala starts behind the plate.

  • Justin Turner 1B | SEA

    Blue Jays' Justin Turner: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Turner is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Turner was back in the starting nine for the past two games after missing three contests with an illness, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Daniel Vogelbach will step in as Toronto's designated hitter.

  • Kyle Manzardo DH | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Not starting Sunday

    Manzardo is not in the lineup for Sunday's outing against the Twins.

    Manzardo will begin the game from the bench in Cleveland's series finale against Minnesota after going 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 11-4 win. Jose Ramirez will move to designated hitter and bat third in place of Manzardo while Gabriel Arias takes over third base duties.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Slugs another long ball Saturday

    Stanton went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk and two total RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win against the White Sox.

    Stanton doubled home a run in the first inning and added a solo homer in the third. The long ball was his second in as many days and his third over his past four games. Stanton is enjoying a big month of May, slashing .308/.333/.654 with five homers and 10 RBI through 13 games, though he's also struck out 35.2 percent of the time.
