  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Pops home run in win

    Schneemann went 1-for-1 with three walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over Kansas City.

    Schneemann was in the lineup for a second straight game and cracked his first home run. He's currently sharing second base with Gabriel Arias, who was needed at third base for the injured Jose Ramirez (wrist).

  • Matt McLain SS | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Goes deep again

    McLain batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Giants.

    McLain moved up a spot in the batting order with TJ Friedl getting a day off against a left-hander. McLain hit the second of back-to-back home runs in the sixth inning, when the Reds scored all three of their runs. Other than that, the Cincinnati bats were quiet. The homer was McLain's second in as many days.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Ignites eight-run rally

    Perdomo batted second and went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.

    The Diamondbacks appeared headed for a third loss in the four-game series against the Cubs, but they erupted for eight runs in the eighth inning to erase a 6-2 deficit. Perdomo started the fun with a double up the alley in right-center to plate two runs. The shortstop has hit safely in all four games to start the season and has five RBI. He normally hits down the order but was moved up to second with Corbin Carroll not in Sunday's starting lineup.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Swipes bag in loss

    Holliday went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Holliday singled and stole his first base of the season in the second inning, but he also struck out in his other three at-bats. The 21-year-old has had a solid start to 2025, reaching base in all four games with a home run and a steal. However, he's struck out seven times in 16 plate appearances, continuing a trend from 2024, when he fanned at a 33 percent rate.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Hits first home run

    Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Swanson connected for his first home run of the season against the team that drafted him first overall back in 2015. The shortstop had 16 long balls a year ago, which snapped a three-season streak of hitting at least 20 home runs. If he stays healthy, Swanson should be able to make a run at the 20-homer plateau again in 2025.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Likely to sit Monday

    Turner (back) isn't expected to be in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Turner missed a second consecutive game Sunday due to lower-back spasms, and it appears the Phillies plan to take advantage of Tuesday's team off day and give the shortstop four straight days of rest. Assuming the 31-year-old sits as expected, Edmundo Sosa is likely to receive another start at shortstop Monday.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: On bench Sunday

    Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    The 22-year-old has gone 2-for-12 with a solo homer and four strikeouts in his first three MLB games, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Seattle. Max Schuemann will start at second base and bat ninth in place of Muncy.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Receiving Sunday off

    Seager is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Seager went 3-for-12 with a run and three strikeouts over the first three games of the series, and he'll sit for Sunday's finale. Jonathan Ornelas, who was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Kevin Newman 3B | LAA

    Angels' Kevin Newman: Heads to bench Sunday

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

    With Zach Neto (shoulder) on the shelf, Newman began the season as the Angels' top shortstop, starting the team's first two games while going 0-for-6 with a strikeout. He'll give way to Tim Anderson at shortstop Sunday, and Newman will likely need to pick up the pace at the plate if he's to remain atop the depth chart until Neto returns.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: On bench Sunday

    Story is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

    Story batted fifth in the first three games of the season but will head to the bench Sunday after going 1-for-11 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs. David Hamilton will step in at shortstop and bat eighth in the series finale at Texas.
