Sweeney is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Royals on Friday.

Sweeney has gone 3-for-11 with two RBI against left-handed pitching this season, but he'll begin Friday's contest in the dugout with the Royals sending southpaw Cole Ragans to the mound. Javier Baez will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Seager went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Angels.

Seager socked a 427-foot blast into deep center field in the seventh inning, giving the Rangers an insurance run to put the team ahead 5-3. The star shortstop is off to a strong start at the dish in 2025, slashing .306/.368/.516 with four round trippers, one double, six RBI and six runs scored through 62 at-bats (17 games). Seager now has multiple hits in three straight contests.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Guardians.

Henderson got the Orioles on the board with a solo home run off Tanner Bibee in the first inning. Thursday marked Henderson's first homer of 2025 and could be a sign that the 23-year-old shortstop is fully past the right intercostal strain that forced him to begin the season on the 10-day injured list. After going 4-for-29 in his first seven games of the year, he has three multi-hit performances with three extra-base hits in his past four contests.

Witt went 1-for-4 with one walk and one double in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Tigers.

Witt drew a walk in his first plate appearance, and his double to right field in the fifth inning extended his hitting streak to 10 games. The superstar shortstop ranks 10th in the American League in both batting average (.307) and on-base percentage (.384), and he's tied for ninth in stolen bases (five) across 86 plate appearances to start the season.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.

Lindor lined a single to drive in a run in the fourth inning but also helped another run come across while getting caught in a rundown to end the frame. The All-Star shortstop has now hit safely in 13 of his 14 outings in April, slashing .317/.377/.433 with one home run, six RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases across 60 at-bats this month following a 0-for-11 start in March.

Perdomo went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 win at Miami.

After launching his third homer of the season Wednesday -- already matching his 2024 total -- Perdomo followed it up with another productive performance in Thursday's series finale. The shortstop has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball early in 2025, as he's tied for fifth in MLB with 18 RBI and has a .317/.427/.492 slash line through 84 plate appearances.

Winn (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Winn has ramped up his baseball activities this week and is ready to test things out in a game setting. Barring a setback, he is on pace to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday. Winn has missed nearly a week of action with lower-back spasms.

Edwards went 2-for-5 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored during Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Edwards is without an extra-base hit in his past nine contests, but he's still providing plenty of production atop the lineup with a .400 batting average (16-for-40) and eight walks during a 10-game hit streak. The 25-year-old entered the day tied for fifth in MLB with six stolen bases and also has 11 runs and seven RBI through 85 plate appearances.

Meidroth will start at second base and bat leadoff in Thursday's game against the Athletics.

It's the first time Meidroth has batted higher than fifth since he was promoted last week, but it felt like only a matter of time before the White Sox put the 23-year-old and his on-base skills in the leadoff spot. Meidroth is 4-for-14 with a 22.2 percent walk rate in his first five major-league contests.

The White Sox optioned Jones to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Jones has had two brief stints in the majors this season and hasn't made any starts. He's clearing out to make room for the return of Andrew Benintendi (adductor) from the injured list.
