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.

Tovar went 0-for-4 and was caught stealing Thursday against the Phillies.

The Rockies' offense has gotten off to a slow start this season, and Tovar has played a role in those struggles. He's now failed to record a hit in three straight starts and is just 3-for-24 overall. Positively, the team will begin a six-game homestand Friday, so Tovar will have favorable conditions to turn things around this week.

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.

Pena will begin the season with Single-A Carolina, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

It was fully anticipated that Jesus Made would skip over the Arizona Complex League and start the year at Single-A, and it's notable that the Brewers also opted to send Pena directly to the Mudcats. Pena, an 18-year-old shortstop with plus-plus speed, hit .393 with one home run and 39 steals in 44 games in the Dominican Summer League. If he can access a bit more pop, he could be a big riser this season on prospect rankings.

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.

Genao sprained his right shoulder during spring training and will be sidelined at Double-A Akron until June, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.

Genao grew taller and added notable lower-body muscle over the offseason, but his rapid ascent will be slowed by this injury. The switch-hitting shortstop hit .330 with 10 home runs, 25 steals and a 15.5 percent strikeout rate in 110 games last season split between Single-A and High-A. He turns 21 in late May, so he'll still be one of the youngest hitters at Double-A once he returns from injury.

Edwards went 4-for-6 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.

The shortstop rolled into the game having gone 4-for-22 (.182) through his first six starts of the season, but Edwards doubled both his hit and steal totals with Wednesday's performance. Base knocks figure to come in bunches for the 25-year-old after he slashed .328/.397/.423 over 303 plate appearances in a breakout 2024, but even as Miami's everyday leadoff hitter, his fantasy value remains capped due to his lack of power and lack of a reliable supporting cast.

Made is on Double-A Harrisburg's injured list due to an oblique injury, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

He picked up the injury this spring and is expected back in the coming weeks. Made was just above league average (103 wRC+) at High-A last year despite hitting just one home run. He hit .158 with one home run and two steals in 21 games at Double-A.

Allen went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers.

Atlanta's entire lineup has struggled out of the gates en route to an 0-7 start, and while Orlando Arcia's lack of offense has been far from the biggest problem, the veteran has gone 2-for-13 (.54) with zero extra-base hits and five strikeouts in four appearances to begin the year. That's opened the door for Allen to get a look, and the former Athletic has responded with three hits and two steals while making two straight starts at shortstop. Allen is better known for his glove than his bat, but the same could be said for Arcia, and the former is four years younger. It's unlikely Atlanta will give up on Arcia that quickly, but his disappointing .625 OPS in 2024 may have undermined his job security more than anyone expected.

Henderson (intercostal) isn't included in the Baltimore lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox and isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list until Friday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The Orioles' decision not to reinstate Henderson from the IL on his first day of eligibility isn't indicative of a setback. Instead, the 1:05 p.m. ET start time for Thursday's contest was likely a major factor, with manager Brandon Hyde telling Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com that Henderson will get a planned rest day after playing five innings in the field Wednesday night in his final rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk. Hyde said that Henderson will rejoin the Orioles in Kansas City ahead of the series opener with the Royals on Friday, and the 23-year-old will likely start at shortstop and bat leadoff in what will be his 2025 MLB debut.
