  • 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.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Starts at second base

    Schneemann started at second base and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Kansas City.

    The lefty-hitting Schneemann handled second base against a right-hander, after the righty-hitting Gabriel Arias started Opening Day against a lefty. It's unclear if the keystone will be a strict platoon, but it would juice Schneemann's fantasy viability if it is. Depending on the state of Jose Ramirez's wrist, both Schneemann and Arias could be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Royals.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Goes deep again Saturday

    Volpe went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and two walks in a 20-9 thrashing of Milwaukee on Saturday.

    Volpe played his part on a historic day for the Yankees, smashing one of the team's franchise-record nine homers with a three-run blast to left field in the second inning. The 23-year-old has gone deep in each of New York's first two games of the campaign after hitting a modest 12 homers over 688 plate appearances last season. In fact, both of Volpe's hits so far have left the yard.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Collects four hits in loss

    Bichette went 4-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and two runs in a 9-5 loss to the Orioles on Saturday.

    The 27-year-old has a hot bat to start the 2025 season, hitting .500 (6-for-12) in the early going with three runs, two doubles, one walk and no strikeouts. As long as he can stay healthy, Bichette figures to be a good candidate for runs hitting atop the Blue Jays offense in 2025.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Cracks first homer of season

    Pena went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

    Pena got the scoring started in the fifth inning when he took Griffin Canning deep for a 363-foot solo homer to left field. Pena is looking to build off a solid 2024 campaign in which he slashed .266/.308/.394 with 20 stolen bases, 15 home runs and 70 RBI across 650 plate appearances. Pena and the Astros will enjoy a team day off Sunday before starting up a three-game home series against the Giants on Monday.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Swipes second bag

    Story went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 4-1 loss to Texas.

    Story singled in the fourth inning, stole second and came in to score on a Wilyer Abreu single. It was the second steal in as many games for Story, who had double-digit steals each season from 2018 to 2023. His first three years with Boston have not gone well (.693 OPS, 163 games), making it easy to forget his level of production while with Colorado. The 32-year-old may never get back to those Rockies' numbers, but a healthy Story will serve as a middle-of-the-order bat for Boston.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Plays field Friday

    Seager started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Seager was held out of the field and instead served as the designated hitter in Thursday's opener due to a recent calf issue. The Rangers exercised caution with the shortstop, whose calf injury was always considered minor.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Hits first MLB homer

    Muncy went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during the Athletics' 7-0 victory over Seattle on Friday.

    Muncy can officially check "first MLB hit" and "first MLB home run" off his bucket list, as he accomplished both on one swing of the bat against Tayler Saucedo during the eighth inning of Friday's contest. Although he now boasts a career .500 slugging percentage, fantasy managers should view the 22-year-old as more of a contact hitter while he fills in for the injured Zack Gelof (wrist) at second base.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Launches homer in loss to Blue Jays

    Holliday went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in an 8-2 loss to Toronto on Friday.

    The home run was a no-doubter that travelled 425 feet over the left-center field wall and had an exit velocity of 109 mph. It's a good reminder that Holliday is extremely talented and was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft. Holliday hit a woeful .189 as a 20-year-old in 2024 over 190 regular-season at-bats, but he could be a factor in a deep Baltimore lineup. He is 3-for-8 in the first two games of the season.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Two hits, RBI in victory

    Bichette went 2-for-4 with an RBI and one run in Toronto's 8-2 win over the Orioles on Friday.

    A career .290 hitter over 2,500-plus at-bats, Bichette had by far his worst season as a pro last year with an ugly .225 batting average over 81 games. Calf injuries played a large part in Bichette's struggles a year ago, so he'll hope to stay on the field in his contract year. He was caught trying to steal second base in the sixth inning, which perhaps is a sign that his legs are at full strength.
