  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Homers in home opener

    Story went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 13-9 win over the Cardinals.

    Story got Fenway Park rocking in Boston's home opener with a three-run blast in the first inning. It was his second homer in the last three games. Healthy again after three injury-plagued seasons, Story could finally deliver on a six-year contract he signed in 2022.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Hitting streak up to eight

    Wilson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run while collecting two more RBI and scoring another run in Friday's 6-3 win over Colorado.

    Wilson's solo shot in the fourth inning officially brought his hitting streak to eight games, and a two-RBI single in the 11th gave him his second consecutive multi-hit effort while also securing the win for the A's. The 23-year-old is now slashing .379/.379/.621 on the year and currently boasts one of the hottest bats in baseball.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Collects three RBI

    Rocchio went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 8-6 win over the Angels. He was also caught stealing once.

    Jose Ramirez was the star of the show with three home runs, but Rocchio was also pivotal to the victory with an RBI double in the second inning and a two-run single in the sixth. The 24-year-old switch hitter has started six of seven games at shortstop to begin the season, but he hasn't provided much offense with a .250/.318/.300 slash line in 22 plate appearances.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: First multi-hit effort of season

    Volpe went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Pirates.

    Volpe's RBI single in the fourth inning sparked a three-run inning that gave the Yankees plenty of breathing room. The shortstop has hit safely in six of seven games this season, but this was his first multi-hit effort, lifting his batting average to .286 on the year. He's added four home runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored with a 2:7 BB:K. He hit 33 homers and added a total of 120 RBI across 319 contests the last two years combined, but he's off to a strong start in 2025.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Ready to play shortstop

    Neto (shoulder) will start at shortstop Friday as he continues his rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake, Bees play-by-play announcer Tony Parks reports.

    The 24-year-old began the rehab assignment Tuesday and was limited to serving as the designated hitter in his first few games, but he's now been cleared to play the field. Neto could be ready to make his 2025 debut for the Angels sometime next week after he gets in a few games defensively.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Activated ahead of season debut

    The Orioles activated Henderson (intercostal) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Henderson got a late start to the season after suffering a right intercostal strain in late February, but he's ready to go after playing five rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk and slugging a pair of home runs. The 23-year-old superstar finished fourth in the American League MVP voting in 2024 after collecting an .893 OPS with 37 home runs and 21 stolen bases.

  • 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.

  • Leonardo Rivas 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Mariners optioned Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

    Rivas did not see the field in his short stint up in Seattle. He was recalled Tuesday because Jorge Polanco was away on paternity leave. With Polanco returning Thursday, Rivas was sent back down Triple-A.

  • 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.
