Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Homers in rehab game
Neto (shoulder) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday during a rehab appearance with Triple-A Salt Lake.
Neto began a rehab stint April 1 and has collected exactly one hit in each of his three games so far. He's gone a collective 3-for-13, and two of his hits (a double and Thursday's homer) have gone for extra bases. Neto hasn't yet played the field, however, as he's started all three of his games at DH. He'll likely need to get in some work on defense before he's ready to join the major-league club.

Jeremy Pena SS | HOU
Astros' Jeremy Pena: Pops second homer
Pena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Twins.
Pena has only three hits across his first 23 at-bats, though two have been home runs. He's also struck out just three times while walking twice, so more hits should start to fall in.

Gregory Barrios SS | TB
Rays' Gregory Barrios: Out with elbow injury
Barrios is facing a lengthy absence for High-A Bowling Green due to an elbow injury, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.
Barrios' absence is expected to stretch into at least May, as he is reportedly further behind Xavier Isaac (elbow), who is due back in late-April. Barrios, whom the Rays acquired from Milwaukee last year for Aaron Civale, is a glove-first shortstop prospect who hit .288 with one home run and 36 steals in 104 games at High-A in 2024.

Angel Genao SS | CLE
Guardians' Angel Genao: Out until June
Genao sprained his right shoulder during spring training and will be sidelined at Double-A Akron until June, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.
Genao grew taller and added notable lower-body muscle over the offseason, but his rapid ascent will be slowed by this injury. The switch-hitting shortstop hit .330 with 10 home runs, 25 steals and a 15.5 percent strikeout rate in 110 games last season split between Single-A and High-A. He turns 21 in late May, so he'll still be one of the youngest hitters at Double-A once he returns from injury.

Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Not activated Thursday
Henderson (intercostal) isn't included in the Baltimore lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox and isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list until Friday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
The Orioles' decision not to reinstate Henderson from the IL on his first day of eligibility isn't indicative of a setback. Instead, the 1:05 p.m. ET start time for Thursday's contest was likely a major factor, with manager Brandon Hyde telling Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com that Henderson will get a planned rest day after playing five innings in the field Wednesday night in his final rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk. Hyde said that Henderson will rejoin the Orioles in Kansas City ahead of the series opener with the Royals on Friday, and the 23-year-old will likely start at shortstop and bat leadoff in what will be his 2025 MLB debut.

Anthony Volpe SS | NYY
Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Belts another long ball Wednesday
Volpe went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.
The Yankees trailed 4-0 entering the bottom of the ninth inning, but Volpe gave the team life with his one-out, three-run blast to right field off A.J. Puk. New York wasn't able to complete the comeback, but it was yet another big early-season moment for the young shortstop. Volpe has gone deep four times in his first five games of the campaign -- only one major-leaguer (Eugenio Suarez) has more home runs so far in 2025.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Breaks out of slump
Correa went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's victory over the White Sox. He ended an 0-for-18 streak to begin the season.
Correa had been hitting the ball hard his first four games but came up empty before Wednesday. He looks back on track but more importantly is healthy after playing just 86 games last season due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Swats first homer
Story went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Baltimore.
Story went deep for the first time in 2025, taking the first pitch he saw in the second inning over the fence in center field. While all eyes were focused on the historically slow start of teammate Rafael Devers, Story's 2-for-15 start (.133) flew under the radar.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Extends hitting streak to seven
Wilson went 3-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Cubs.
Wilson was responsible for three of the Athletics' five hits Wednesday, including his first double of the season in the ninth inning. Wilson has logged a hit in each of the first seven games of the 2025 season and is slashing .375/.375/.542 with three runs scored, one home run and two RBI.
