Wendle will start at second base and bat sixth Sunday against the Red Sox, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays haven't been entirely forthright about their plans at second base this season, but if their lineups through the first four games of the season are any indication, Wendle will fill the larger side of a platoon with Daniel Robertson at the position. After hitting the bench for the first two games with the Red Sox bringing southpaws Chris Sale and David Price to the hill, Wendle is picking up his second straight start against a right-hander after going hitless but collecting his first RBI of the season Saturday.

Rojas is not in the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Rojas has recorded a base hit in each of the first three games of the year (all starts), and owns a .438 on-base percentage helped by three walks in Friday's 17-inning marathon. He'll get his first day off of the season Sunday afternoon, however, giving way to Yadiel Rivera at shortstop.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 Saturday against the Rays with a double, a home run, two RBI and one run scored.

There hasn't been a hotter player than Bogaerts to start the season as he already notched five doubles. It's apparent that the wrist injury that plagued him in the second half of last season is not currently an issue for him. Still just 25, Bogaerts could see a step up in power production this season.

Correa went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI against the Rangers on Saturday.

Correa had his first big performance of the season, though it surely won't be his last. He continued to show the ability to hit both right-handed and left-handed pitching well, hitting a double off Matt Moore before taking Jesse Chavez deep in the seventh inning. Correa is hitting in the heart of the excellent Astros lineup, so fantasy numbers should keep coming in bunches.

Noonan was released by Oakland on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

Noonan earned an invite to Oakland's spring training but was reassigned to minor-league camp after going 2-for-15 in 10 games. The 28-year-old hasn't seen the majors since 2016 and has only 83 career games (155 plate appearances) and a .193/.239/.234 slash line.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored Saturday against the Reds.

Turner contributed to a 13-7 rout with a solo shot off Luis Castillo to lead off the fourth inning. He batted sixth for the second straight game, though he came to the plate five times in the high-scoring affair.

Arcia is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

Arcia will head to the bench for Saturday's series finale after starting the team's first two games of the season, going 2-for-9 with one RBI. In his place, Eric Sogard will start at shortstop and hit sixth.

Seager is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

Seager will get the day off after going hitless (0-for-7) across the team's first two games of the season. Enrique Hernandez will start at shortstop and hit second in his stead. Seager should be back in the lineup for the series finale Sunday.

Crawford is not in the lineup Saturday against the Braves.

Crawford started the opening two games of the season at shortstop, scoring the game-winning run Friday in the 11th inning. He'll sit Saturday in favor of Scott Kingery, who made his major-league debut at third base the day before. New manager Gabe Kapler appears to want to rotate his players frequently, so it may take some time before it's clear how often Crawford will be playing.

Baez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Baez will get the day off to clear his head after opening the season 0-for-10. In his place, Ben Zobrist will start at second base and hit seventh.
