Trey Sweeney SS | DET
Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Could see more time at short
Sweeney will start at shortstop and bat eighth Monday against the Padres, and he could see more time at the position with Javier Baez set to serve as the team's primary center fielder for the time being, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Sweeney was already seeing plenty of time at short, though he was getting some days off against lefties, with Baez picking up starts at his natural position of shortstop. However, with Baez set to focus more on center field, at least until the likes of Parker Meadows (shoulder) and Wenceel Perez (back) are able to return, Sweeney may have to cover short more frequently in the near term, including in matchups against southpaws. He'll face San Diego righty starter Randy Vasquez on Monday.

Padres' Mason McCoy: Recalled by San Diego
The Padres recalled McCoy from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.
The move corresponds with the Padres placing Luis Arraez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list. McCoy wasn't able to crack the Opening Day roster and started the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .328/.425/.522 with two stolen bases, 13 runs scored, one home run and 16 RBI in 81 plate appearances. He appeared in 19 regular-season games (16 starts) for the Padres in 2024, all at shortstop.

After receiving a breather Sunday, Story returned in this early Patriots' Day tilt and produced his fourth three-hit game of the season.

White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Placed on 10-day injured list
The White Sox placed Meidroth on the 10-day injured list Monday with right thumb inflammation.
Meidroth had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to the injury. He revealed Monday that it's something he's been dealing with for a few weeks, dating back to when he was still at Triple-A Charlotte, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com. It's unclear how long he might be sidelined. Chicago is likely to use Jacob Amaya and Lenyn Sosa as its primary middle infielders while Meidroth is sidelined.

White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Remains out of lineup Monday
Meidroth (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.
Meidroth had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to right thumb inflammation. He did appear as a defensive replacement Sunday, so it appears swinging a bat is the biggest issue for him. The White Sox have Jacob Amaya at shortstop and Lenyn Sosa at second base in Monday's series finale.

White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Enters as defensive replacement
Meidroth (thumb) entered Sunday's game against the Red Sox as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning.
Meidroth was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to tight thumb inflammation, but his ability to enter the game as a defensive replacement suggests the issue is minor. He has served as the White Sox's leadoff batter in each of his last three starts and has maintained an excellent .387 on-base percentage across his first 31 plate appearances in the majors.

Angels' Zach Neto: Goes deep Sunday
Neto went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Neto got the Angels on the board in the fifth with a solo blast off Justin Verlander. He was then right in the thick of the team's four-run, ninth-inning comeback with an RBI before scoring the winning run. Both of Neto's hits have gone for extra bases through his first three starts of the year, adding more power to a lineup that's fourth in baseball with 33 home runs.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Not in starting nine Sunday
Story isn't starting Sunday's game against the White Sox, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
It's a routine day off for Story, as manager Alex Cora gave the veteran shortstop the option of sitting either Sunday or Monday, per Smith. Story has been on a heater of late, batting .405 with three home runs, 10 RBI and four stolen bases over his past nine games. The Red Sox are starting David Hamilton at shortstop in Story's place Sunday.

White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Scratched Sunday due to thumb issue
Meidroth was scratched from Sunday's lineup against Boston due to right thumb inflammation, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Meidroth had originally been penciled into the starting lineup as Chicago's starting shortstop and leadoff hitter, but the thumb issue will instead have him begin the game on the bench. Jacob Amaya has taken Meidroth's spot at shortstop and is batting ninth while Nick Maton has moved up to the leadoff role.
