  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: In Friday's lineup

    Soler (groin) is starting in right field and batting fifth against the Mariners on Friday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Soler was removed from Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to groin tightness, but it doesn't appear to be a lingering issue as he's back in the lineup for Friday's American League West clash. Soler has slashed .200/.279/.345 with two home runs and eight RBI in 61 plate appearances over his last 15 games.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Grabbing seat Friday

    Diaz is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.

    It's a routine day off for Diaz, who had started each of the previous nine contests. The Rays are going with Brandon Lowe at designated hitter, with Curtis Mead getting the nod at second base.

  • Brent Rooker DH | ATH

    Athletics' Brent Rooker: Drives in three

    Rooker went 3-for-4 with one double, three RBI, three runs scored and one walk in Thursday's 14-3 victory over the Twins.

    Rooker opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning of what turned into a blowout. The 30-year-old has been especially impressive over his past 15 games, slashing .373/.448/.610 with eight extra-base hits. On a struggling Athletics team, Rooker has emerged as one of the league's top power hitters with 82 homers since the start of 2023.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Taking seat Thursday

    Mayo is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Seattle.

    Mayo started the first four games for the Orioles upon his promotion from Triple-A Norfolk last week, but he'll get some rest during Thursday's series finale. Ryan O'Hearn is at first base and Adley Rutschman is in the designated-hitter spot.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Season debut could come in mid-June

    Stanton (elbows) is tracking toward making his season debut around mid-June, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

    Stanton is at the Yankees' spring training complex in Florida and could remain there to work out and take at-bats through the weekend. He's likely to begin a short rehab assignment after that, possibly as soon as early next week. Stanton is coming back from tennis elbow in both arms. The Yankees will have some decisions to make with their lineup upon Stanton's return, as they've already had to juggle playing time in the outfield and designated hitter between Ben Rice, Jasson Dominguez (thumb) and Trent Grisham. Stanton's arrival will only cloud that picture.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Snaps homer drought

    Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Yankees.

    Manzardo's eighth-inning homer finished the scoring and snapped his 15-game long-ball drought. He'd entered the contest mired in a slump, batting .180 (9-for-50) with three RBI during that span. Manzardo is up to 11 home runs and 29 RBI while batting .211 over 54 games.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Exits with tight groin

    Soler was removed from Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to groin tightness.

    Soler went 1-for-1 with a walk and a base hit before Matthew Lugo came on to replace him in right field in the bottom of the third inning. The severity of Soler's groin injury isn't yet known, and the Angels could send him in for further tests before an update on his status is provided ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Mariners.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Leaves with apparent injury

    Soler was removed from Wednesday's game in Boston in the third inning with an undisclosed injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    The Angels haven't provided word on what exactly happened with Soler, but he was replaced by Matthew Lugo in right field before the bottom of the third inning. Soler had an infield single and drew a walk in his two plate appearances before departing. The Angels should have an update on his condition soon.

  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Gets PRP injection in shoulder

    Santander will rest for 5-to-7 days after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in his injured left shoulder, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Santander landed on the 10-day injured list this past Friday with a shoulder injury that had been nagging at him for a while. The hope is that the PRP injection will help speed along the recovery process and that he will be ready to resume throwing and ramping up after a brief shutdown period.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Sitting versus southpaw

    Manzardo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    With lefty Carlos Rodon on the bump for the Yankees, the left-handed-hitting Manzardo will begin the tilt on the bench. David Fry is at designated hitter and batting cleanup for the Guardians.
