  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Idle vs. southpaw

    Schneemann is not in the Guardians' lineup against the Padres on Monday.

    The lefty-hitting Schneemann will begin Monday's game in the dugout due to the Padres sending southpaw Kyle Hart to the mound. Gabriel Arias will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

  • Royals' Tyler Tolbert: Gets first call to majors

    The Royals selected Tolbert's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

    The 27-year-old Tolbert stole 48 bases in 53 attempts between stops at Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Omaha in 2024, but he struggled at the dish with both affiliates, slashing a combined .240/.323/.323 over 554 plate appearances. He stuck around in big-league spring training longer than anticipated after providing an .887 OPS over 19 Cactus League games, and he'll now get his first call-up to the majors while the Royals look to add some speed to the bench in place of Dairon Blanco (Achilles), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Tolbert likely won't see regular at-bats but could prove to be a useful weapon as a pinch runner and late-inning defensive replacement.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: On track for season debut Thursday

    Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Monday that Henderson (intercostal) is on track to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Thursday versus the Red Sox, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Henderson has played three rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk, going 4-for-12 with a home run. As long as he doesn't have any setbacks with his right intercostal strain, the 23-year-old will make his season debut during Thursday's series finale against Boston.

  • Jacob Amaya SS | ARI

    White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Settling in as everyday shortstop

    Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Twins.

    Amaya has now started at shortstop in each of the White Sox's first four games, but he has yet to do much with the opportunity. In the White Sox's season-opening series versus the Angels, Amaya went 1-for-8 with three strikeouts while slotting in as the No. 8 hitter in each of those contests. Even if the White Sox continue to give him an extended run in an everyday role, Amaya -- who owns a .402 OPS over 89 career big-league plate appearances -- can probably be ignored outside of AL-only formats until he performs well enough to warrant more attention.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Pops home run in win

    Schneemann went 1-for-1 with three walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over Kansas City.

    Schneemann was in the lineup for a second straight game and cracked his first home run. He's currently sharing second base with Gabriel Arias, who was needed at third base for the injured Jose Ramirez (wrist).

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Swipes bag in loss

    Holliday went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Holliday singled and stole his first base of the season in the second inning, but he also struck out in his other three at-bats. The 21-year-old has had a solid start to 2025, reaching base in all four games with a home run and a steal. However, he's struck out seven times in 16 plate appearances, continuing a trend from 2024, when he fanned at a 33 percent rate.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: On bench Sunday

    Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    The 22-year-old has gone 2-for-12 with a solo homer and four strikeouts in his first three MLB games, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Seattle. Max Schuemann will start at second base and bat ninth in place of Muncy.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Receiving Sunday off

    Seager is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Seager went 3-for-12 with a run and three strikeouts over the first three games of the series, and he'll sit for Sunday's finale. Jonathan Ornelas, who was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Kevin Newman 3B | LAA

    Angels' Kevin Newman: Heads to bench Sunday

    Newman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    With Zach Neto (shoulder) on the shelf, Newman began the season as the Angels' top shortstop, starting the team's first two games while going 0-for-6 with a strikeout. He'll give way to Tim Anderson at shortstop Sunday, and Newman will likely need to pick up the pace at the plate if he's to remain atop the depth chart until Neto returns.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: On bench Sunday

    Story is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

    Story batted fifth in the first three games of the season but will head to the bench Sunday after going 1-for-11 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs. David Hamilton will step in at shortstop and bat eighth in the series finale at Texas.
