  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Idle vs. southpaw

    Schneemann is not in the Guardians' lineup against the Padres on Monday.

    The lefty-hitting Schneemann will begin Monday's game in the dugout due to the Padres sending southpaw Kyle Hart to the mound. Gabriel Arias will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Away Monday after birth of child

    Lindor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins following the birth of his child, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged Saturday that Lindor was expecting his third child in the coming days, but the veteran shortstop remained with the team in Houston throughout the weekend before his wife gave birth earlier Monday. Notably, the Mets haven't placed Lindor on the paternity list, so the 31-year-old could meet back up with the team in Miami at some point later on during the three-game series versus the Marlins.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Still batting ninth against lefty

    Winn is hitting ninth again for the Cardinals on Monday versus Angels left-hander Tyler Anderson.

    Winn was in the nine spot for all three games against the Twins' righties in the opening series, and he will remain there Monday even as the Halos send a southpaw to the hill. The shortstop was just 4-for-50 at the plate during spring training and is still looking for his first hit of the regular season. The left-handed hitting Lars Nootbaar is again occupying the leadoff spot Monday.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Feels better, aims for Wednesday

    Turner reported improvement with his lower-back spasms Monday and is aiming to return to the Phillies' lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Rockies, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Turner is missing a third straight game Monday, but he fielded grounders pregame and is feeling better. He'll get a fourth day of rest Tuesday on the Phillies' off day before shooting to return to action Wednesday for the second game of the series against Colorado.

  • Royals' Tyler Tolbert: Gets first call to majors

    The Royals selected Tolbert's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

    The 27-year-old Tolbert stole 48 bases in 53 attempts between stops at Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Omaha in 2024, but he struggled at the dish with both affiliates, slashing a combined .240/.323/.323 over 554 plate appearances. He stuck around in big-league spring training longer than anticipated after providing an .887 OPS over 19 Cactus League games, and he'll now get his first call-up to the majors while the Royals look to add some speed to the bench in place of Dairon Blanco (Achilles), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Tolbert likely won't see regular at-bats but could prove to be a useful weapon as a pinch runner and late-inning defensive replacement.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swipes first bag of year

    Edwards went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

    The shortstop reached base on a fielder's choice in the fifth inning and promptly stole second, giving Edwards his first steal of 2025. After swiping 31 in only 70 big-league games last season, the 25-year-old set his sights high this year and said this spring he believes he can steal 60. Through the Marlins' first four games, Edwards is batting .200 (3-for-15) with three walks, a double, two runs and two RBI as the club's everyday leadoff hitter.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: On track for season debut Thursday

    Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Monday that Henderson (intercostal) is on track to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Thursday versus the Red Sox, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Henderson has played three rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk, going 4-for-12 with a home run. As long as he doesn't have any setbacks with his right intercostal strain, the 23-year-old will make his season debut during Thursday's series finale against Boston.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Held out again Monday

    Turner (back) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Rockies.

    Turner will miss a third consecutive game as he deals with lower-back spasms. The Phillies are idle Tuesday and hope Turner will be ready to go Wednesday in the second game of their series versus Colorado. Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop Monday in place of Turner.

  • White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Settling in as everyday shortstop

    Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Twins.

    Amaya has now started at shortstop in each of the White Sox's first four games, but he has yet to do much with the opportunity. In the White Sox's season-opening series versus the Angels, Amaya went 1-for-8 with three strikeouts while slotting in as the No. 8 hitter in each of those contests. Even if the White Sox continue to give him an extended run in an everyday role, Amaya -- who owns a .402 OPS over 89 career big-league plate appearances -- can probably be ignored outside of AL-only formats until he performs well enough to warrant more attention.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Double, stolen base in win

    Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a run scored in Sunday's 5-0 victory over Atlanta.

    Bogaerts extended San Diego's lead to 2-0 with his two-out double off AJ Smith-Shawver in the third inning. He'd later lead off the eighth with a walk before swiping second and scoring on a Brandon Lockridge double. It's been a solid start to the year for the 32-year-old Bogaerts -- he's now 3-for-11 with two doubles and two stolen bases through four games after slashing .264/.307/.381 with 11 home runs and 13 steals across 463 plate appearances in 2024.
