  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Swipes bag in loss

    Walls went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

    Walls led off the fifth with a base knock and stole second for his second theft of the year. Walls has just three hits in 26 plate appearances thus far, as his hitting woes from past seasons have carried over into 2025 early on.

  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Starts up rehab assignment

    Lee (back) went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and played seven innings at shortstop Sunday in his first rehab game with Single-A Fort Myers.

    A lumbar strain forced Lee to the 10-day injured list prior to Opening Day, but now that he's started up a rehab assignment, he could be ready to make his return to the Twins around the middle of April. Expect Lee to eventually shift his assignment to Triple-A St. Paul, and he'll likely get some exposure to two or three different infield spots before Minnesota signs off on him making his MLB season debut. Second base or third base look to be Lee's most likely avenues to seeing consistent at-bats with the big club, as both Jose Miranda and Edouard Julien have gotten off to slow starts to the season at the plate.

  • Kevin Newman 3B | LAA

    Angels' Kevin Newman: Losing out on playing time

    Newman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    With just one hit through his first 13 at-bats of the season, Newman has begun to lose playing time and will now hit the bench for the third time in four games. Tim Anderson will draw a second straight start at shortstop and seems to have at least temporarily leapfrogged Newman on the depth chart.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    Angels' Tim Anderson: Getting second straight start

    Anderson will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    After going 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run in Saturday's 10-4 win, Anderson will pick up a second straight start. He may have inched ahead of Kevin Newman in the competition for primary duties at shortstop, though playing time at the position remains fluid.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Out of lineup vs. lefty

    Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    With lefty Kris Bubic taking the hill for Kansas City, Holliday will retreat to the bench. Jordan Westburg will shift over from third base and fill in at the keystone.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Late add to lineup

    Kiner-Falefa will start at shortstop and bat ninth Sunday against the Yankees after Jared Triolo (undisclosed) was scratched, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Kiner-Falefa was poised to receive his first day off this season but will instead take his usual post at shortstop. He's batting .321 (9-for-28) with no extra-base hits and four steals in 33 plate appearances.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Sitting vs. southpaw

    Sweeney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Sweeney is in the midst of a five-game hit streak during which he's gone 7-for-20 with a double, a triple and a homer, but he'll sit Sunday against Chicago lefty Martin Perez. Javier Baez will step in at shortstop and bat seventh.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Receiving first day off

    Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Kiner-Falefa will get his first day off this season after slashing .321/.424/.321 with four stolen bases, three runs and an RBI through Pittsburgh's first nine games. Jared Triolo will fill in for Kiner-Falefa at shortstop and as the Pirates' No. 9 hitter.

  • Jesus Made SS | MIL

    Brewers' Jesus Made: Makes first stateside appearance

    Made went 0-for-4 with a run, a walk and a stolen base for Low-A Carolina on Saturday.

    Saturday's appearance was the first in the United States for Made, who will be 17 years old for another month. Big things are expected from the youngster, who owns a prominent spot on most top-100 prospect lists and is already considered by some to be the top prospect in Milwaukee's ranks.

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Filling in for resting Bohm

    Sosa will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Sosa picked up starts in four of the Phillies' first five games of the season, but he shifted back into a utility role after Trea Turner overcame a back issue. Alec Bohm will get a breather Sunday, opening the door for Sosa to re-enter the starting nine after being out of the lineup for the previous three contests.
