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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Turner (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The 31-year-old was scratched from Saturday's starting nine due to lower-back spasms and will sit for a second consecutive game Sunday. The Phillies have a team day off Tuesday after Monday's home opener versus the Rockies, so it's possible Turner is held out until Wednesday to provide him with four straight days of rest. Edmundo Sosa is receiving another start at shortstop Sunday.

Basabe (shoulder) appeared in Triple-A Sacramento's first two games of the season, going 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored.

Basabe dealt with a shoulder strain in spring training before he was optioned to minor-league camp March 10, but he looks to be fully healthy for the start of the season. He spent the 2024 season at Triple-A Durham in the Tampa Bay organization and slashed .248/.293/.336 with five home runs and four stolen bases across 283 plate appearances.

Schneemann started at second base and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Kansas City.

The lefty-hitting Schneemann handled second base against a right-hander, after the righty-hitting Gabriel Arias started Opening Day against a lefty. It's unclear if the keystone will be a strict platoon, but it would juice Schneemann's fantasy viability if it is. Depending on the state of Jose Ramirez's wrist, both Schneemann and Arias could be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Royals.
