Ryan O'Hearn 1B | SD
Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Out of Sunday's lineup
O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The absence ends a run of 24 straight starts for O'Hearn, who batted .330 (30-for-91) with four doubles, two homers, two steals, 10 RBI and 11 runs during that stretch. The 31-year-old is seeing more playing time against lefties this year compared to previous seasons, but his solid .263 average versus southpaws is undercut a bit by a .316 slugging percentage. Still, O'Hearn has been incredibly productive overall in 2025 with nine homers and a .316/.397/.500 slash line through 54 games.

Yandy Diaz 1B | TB
Rays' Yandy Diaz: Powers offense in win
Diaz went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Marlins.
Diaz got the Rays on the board in the fifth inning, driving a two-out, opposite-field blast off Valente Bellozo to tie the game 2-2. It's the ninth homer of the year for Diaz, who's gone 10-for-27 (.370) over his last seven games. He's slashing .248/.297/.413 with 25 runs scored, 36 RBI and three steals across 263 plate appearances this season.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Set for additional testing
Soler, who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, is going to get more tests Monday on his injured groin, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Soler first hurt his groin Wednesday against Boston but was back in the lineup Friday. However, the veteran slugger exited during the first inning Saturday due to a flare-up of the issue and remains on the bench for the series finale versus Seattle. Soler said Sunday that he doesn't know if he'll need to go on the IL, so Monday's tests should give a better idea of the severity of the issue.

Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE
Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Taking seat against lefty
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
With southpaw Brandon Walter on the hill for the Astros, Manzardo will hit the bench for the series finale. Though he's produced a .206/.300/.647 slash line (155 wRC+) over 40 plate appearances versus lefties this season, Manzardo could have to settle for a strong-side platoon role at designated hitter with David Fry now off the IL.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Groin issue resurfaces
Soler was removed from Saturday's game against the Mariners due to groin tightness.
Soler exited Wednesday's contest versus the Red Sox with groin tightness before returning to the lineup Friday, but he appears to have aggravated the injury Saturday. The Angels will likely exercise more caution after the second occurrence of the injury, and the veteran slugger should be considered day-to-day until the severity of the issue is disclosed.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Pulled Saturday
Soler exited Saturday's game against the Mariners after the first inning for unspecified reasons, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
There was no reason disclosed for Soler's removal. However, he dealt with groin tightness earlier in the week, so it's possible he aggravated the issue.

Giancarlo Stanton DH | NYY
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Nearing rehab assignment
Stanton (elbow) will travel to New York on Sunday or Monday and could begin a rehab assignment thereafter, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Stanton will likely undergo a final evaluation before being cleared to play in games. He and the Yankees are reportedly targeting a mid-June activation, and this progress aligns with that timeline.

Rafael Devers 3B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Homers in loss
Devers went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-6 loss to the Yankees.
Devers brought the Red Sox a bit closer with a two-run shot in the seventh inning, but that's where an attempted comeback from an early 7-0 deficit ended. For Devers, the homer was his first in 13 games and extended a hit streak to five games. He was one of the hottest hitters in MLB for much of May, but the designated hitter entered Friday's contest with a .195 average (8-for-41) over the previous 11 games. Devers has 13 home runs and 56 RBI through 65 games this season.

David Fry C | CLE
Guardians' David Fry: Limited to DH for now
Fry is limited to designated-hitter duties while he continues a throwing program and progression, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Fry was recently activated from the 60-day injured list where he spent first two months of the regular season rehabbing from an elbow procedure he underwent last November. He's started three of the last four games and will serve as the primary DH against lefties. Fry will also get occasional starts against righties.

David Fry C | CLE
Guardians' David Fry: Hits first homer in loss
Fry went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Astros.
Fry struck out in his first at-bat before reaching base three straight times, including a solo homer in the sixth inning. In five games (three starts) since returning from the injured list, the 29-year-old has gone 3-for-10 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base.
