  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | SD

    Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Hammers fifth home run

    O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Monday's win over the Yankees.

    O'Hearn belted a three-run shot in the third inning, which made the difference in the 4-3 victory. It was his fifth long ball of the year and fourth over his last nine appearances. He's now slashing .300/.372/.557 with eight extra-base hits and 11 RBI through 78 plate appearances.

  • Joc Pederson DH | TEX

    Rangers' Joc Pederson: Idle against southpaw

    Pederson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

    With southpaw JP Sears toeing the rubber for the Athletics, the left-handed-hitting Pederson will hit the bench for the series opener. Jonah Heim will fill in for Pederson as Texas' designated hitter.

  • Ben Rice C | NYY

    Yankees' Ben Rice: Idle for series opener

    Rice is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

    Though the Orioles are sending right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Rice will hit the bench for the series opener in Baltimore, breaking a streak of five consecutive starts. Rice missed two straight starts early last week due to a left elbow contusion, but he went 3-for-19 with a home run, a double and three walks over the ensuing five games, and the Yankees haven't indicated that he's dealing with any setbacks on the health front. With Rice out of the lineup, Trent Grisham will draw a second consecutive start atop the batting order, while Aaron Judge returns to the two hole after batting third behind Rice in Sunday's 5-1 win over Toronto.

  • Joc Pederson DH | TEX

    Rangers' Joc Pederson: Climbs above .100

    Pederson went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss the Giants.

    Pederson's bat has shown recent life. He's gone 4-for-11 over his last five games and inched his average to .101 through 78 plate appearances. Pederson is not the only member of the team that's struggled to produce; the Rangers rank dead last in MLB with 86 runs over 28 games.

  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Smacks homer in nightcap

    Santander went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer in the Blue Jays' 5-1 loss to the Yankees in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.

    Santander went 0-for-4 with three punchouts in Game 1, but he rebounded in Game 2 when he took Clarke Schmidt deep to right field for a solo homer. Santander's moonshot was his third of the season and snapped a five-game hitless streak. He's slashing .179/.261/.302 with eight runs scored and nine RBI over 119 plate appearances.

  • Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU

    Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Homers in win

    Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Royals.

    Alvarez doubled in the first inning and then gave the Astros a lead they wouldn't relinquish with a 436-foot blast to center field in the third. It marked the 27-year-old's first game with multiple extra-base hits this season and his first two-hit effort since April 11. On the year, he's slashing .213/.312/.360 with three homers, 16 RBI, six runs scored and a steal across 109 plate appearances.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Homers in win

    Devers went 2-for-6 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Guardians.

    Devers went deep during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader and followed it up with another long ball in the sixth inning Sunday. The 28-year-old entered the weekend below the Mendoza Line for the year but went 5-for-13 with three extra-base hits, three RBI and five runs scored against the Guardians. He's now hitting .216 with four homers, 17 RBI and 20 runs scored across 137 plate appearances.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Manzardo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Manzardo has a .936 OPS with three homers in his past eight games, but he'll take a seat Sunday even though Boston is sending a righty-hander (Brayan Bello) to the mound. Jose Ramirez is resting his legs as the designated hitter while Will Wilson receives a start at the hot corner.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Makes hard contact Saturday

    Devers went 3-for-7 with two walks, a double, a home run, two RBI and three runs across both ends of Saturday's doubleheader split against the Guardians.

    After going 0-for-15 over the last five games of Boston's most recent homestand, Devers was happy to get away from Fenway. The 28-year-old slugger launched a solo shot off Ben Lively in the third inning of the matinee, his third long ball of the season, and he reached base three times in each contest including a hit-by-pitch. Despite his struggles making consistent contact so far in 2025, Devers has had no trouble getting on base, and over his last 11 games he's slashing .184/.373/.421 thanks to an 11:9 BB:K.

  • Jorge Polanco 2B | NYM

    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Clubs two homers in blowout win

    Polanco went 2-for-4 with a walk, two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Saturday's 14-0 win against Miami.

    The 31-year-old went deep in the first and fourth innings Saturday and now has four long balls in his past four games. Despite being limited to hitting from the left side and not being able to play the field due to a lingering side injury, Polanco has continued his hot start to the campaign and has a .354/.377/.708 slash line with seven homers, 18 RBI and 10 runs in 70 plate appearances.
