Baker will start at designated hitter and bat third in Monday's game versus the Angels.

Baker didn't play in any of the Cardinals' three games during their opening series against the Twins, but he's in the lineup Monday versus lefty Tyler Anderson and is occupying a prime spot in the batting order. The 28-year-old is expected to play regularly against southpaws.

Sheets went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 5-0 win over Atlanta.

Sheets has started the last three games at DH against right-handed pitching. He's responded well to the opportunity, going 4-for-11 with a home run to start the campaign. Playing the strong side of a platoon, Sheets should offer decent fantasy value in a high-powered Padres lineup.

McCutchen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Marlins.

McCutchen rested Saturday but returned to the lineup one day later. He also bumped up to the cleanup spot and delivered a solo home run -- his first long ball of the season -- to lead off the second inning. McCutchen has two hits across 11 at-bats but has struck out only once in the early going.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Phillies.

Bell was hitless in his first 10 plate appearances this season before opening the scoring with a three-run homer in the fourth inning. The 32-year-old has hovered around 20 homers with 70-plus RBI in each of the past three seasons. He also entered Sunday with a strong track record at Nationals Park, boasting a .291 average and 25 home runs over 152 career games.

Bryant is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Bryant will take a seat after he went 0-for-8 with three strikeouts while serving as Colorado's designated hitter in the first two games of the season. Hunter Goodman will get a day off from catching duties and spell Bryant as the Rockies' DH.

Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in a 11-6 win over Washington on Saturday. He also had two strikeouts.

With Edmundo Sosa and Brandon Marsh aboard during the sixth inning, Schwarber deposited a Lucas Sims' sweeper into the stands for his second home run in as many games for the Phils. The 32-year-old slugger launched 38 homers in 2024 and is on his way to matching that to begin 2025.

Ozuna went 0-for-1 with three walks and one strikeout during Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Padres.

Ozuna struck out in the first inning, but he showed more discipline over his next three plate appearances and managed to draw three walks for the fifth time in his major-league career. Ozuna has gone 2-for-7 with six walks and two RBI across the first three games of the season.

Ohtani went 0-for-2 with two runs, two walks and a stolen base in a 7-3 win against Detroit on Saturday.

Though he ended the game without a hit for the first time this season, Ohtani drew two walks and scored twice. The superstar slugger also got into the stolen base column for the first time on the campaign with a swipe of second base in the seventh inning. After becoming MLB's first 50-50 player last year, there's some expectation that Ohtani will be less active on the basepaths this season, but Saturday served as a reminder that he's still capable of making an impact in that category.

McCutchen isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami.

After going 1-for-7 with an RBI and a walk over the first two games of the series, McCutchen will take a seat Saturday. Bryan Reynolds will serve as Pittsburgh's DH instead while Jack Suwinski starts in right field.

Steer isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus San Francisco.

After an 0-for-4 performance on Opening Day that saw Steer strike out three times, the 27-year-old will step out of the lineup Saturday. Jeimer Candelario will serve as Cincinnati's designated hitter instead, opening up third base for Santiago Espinal.
