  • Harold Ramirez DH | WAS

    Rays' Harold Ramirez: Lone source of offense

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run batted in during Monday's 7-3 loss to the Angels.

    Ramirez provided all three of Tampa Bay's runs, plating Jose Siri on a fielder's choice in the fifth inning before launching a two-run homer off Matt Moore in the eighth. The long ball was Ramirez's first of 2024, and just his second extra-base hit through 62 at-bats. In 15 games, Ramirez is slashing .258/.258/.323 with nine runs scored.

  • Eloy Jimenez DH | BAL

    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Activated from injured list

    Jimenez (adductor) was activated from the 10-day injured list by the White Sox on Monday.

    Jimenez is not in Monday's lineup against the Royals but will be available off the bench. He hasn't played since March 31 because of a left adductor strain but was cleared to return after ramping up his running over the weekend. Gavin Sheets is getting another start at designated hitter Monday.

  • Wyatt Langford LF | TEX

    Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Day off Monday

    Langford is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest in Detroit.

    It looks to be a regular day of rest for the rookie. Langford is still looking for his first home run, but an 11:6 K:BB over his first 68 plate appearances shows that he hasn't been overmatched by big-league pitching. Evan Carter is in left field and Travis Jankowski is in the designated hitter spot Monday.

  • Alex Kirilloff LF | MIN

    Twins' Alex Kirilloff: Sits against left-hander

    Kirilloff is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore.

    Southpaw Cole Irvin is on the hill for the Orioles, so Kirilloff will take a seat. Christian Vazquez is getting a start in the designated hitter spot.

  • Guardians' Estevan Florial: Playing time trending up

    Florial will start in right field and bat seventh in Monday's game in Boston.

    It's the fourth straight start against a right-hander for Florial, and in the game he didn't start versus a lefty he came off the bench to hit a pinch-hit home run. Florial is 2-for-9 with two home runs and a 4:2 K:BB over that stretch. Ramon Laureano and Will Brennan will be on the bench Monday.

  • Guardians' Estevan Florial: Goes yard again

    Florial hit a solo home run as a pinch hitter in Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

    Florial enjoyed a vengeful weekend, hitting his first two homers of the season against his former team over the last two days. The outfielder is still batting .190 through 25 plate appearances, to go with a 4:10 BB:K, but it looks like he's starting to build some momentum. Florial remains in a crowded competition for playing time between center field, right field and designated hitter, and he should have chances to draw into the lineup at least versus right-handed pitchers.

  • Justin Turner 1B | SEA

    Blue Jays' Justin Turner: Three hits, three RBI in win

    Turner went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Sunday's 5-0 victory over Colorado.

    Turner made his mark early Sunday, notching an RBI single in the first inning. He later added an RBI double in the fourth frame before driving in another run on a base knock in the fifth inning. Turner has now recorded at least one hit in six consecutive games, batting .526 with three doubles, four RBI and three runs scored over those contests.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | BAL

    Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Swats solo homer

    O'Hearn went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during Sunday's win over the Brewers.

    O'Hearn's hot start to 2024 continued Sunday, as he notched his 10th and 11th hits in 12 games played. He took Colin Rea yard in the third inning for a solo home run, marking his second long ball of the season -- both of which have come off right-handed pitching. With Baltimore expected to face three right-handed starters during a homestand against the Twins that starts Monday, O'Hearn should have plenty of opportunities to keep raking.

  • Guardians' Estevan Florial: Lifts homer in nightcap

    Florial went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees in the second game of a doubleheader.

    Florial went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in the matinee before getting his third hit and first homer as a Guardian -- against his former organization -- in the nightcap. The outfielder is still hitting a paltry .150 with one stolen base, one RBI, two runs scored and a triple over 24 plate appearances. Florial is competing with Ramon Laureano, Tyler Freeman and Will Brennan for playing time between center field, right field and designated hitter, and none of them have made compelling cases to grab a starting role so far.

  • Royals' Nelson Velazquez: Records steal Saturday

    Velazquez went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Mets.

    Velazquez was one of six Royals to log multiple hits Saturday. He's known for his power more than his speed -- this was his first steal and attempt since 2022. He's earned a significant role early in 2024, slashing .333/.385/.521 with two home runs, seven RBI, eight runs scored and three doubles over 13 contests as the Royals' primary designated hitter.
