Seager went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 2-1 win over Seattle.

Seager, who entered the contest on a 1-for-12 run with zero RBI over the previous three games, turned that trend around immediately. He helped erase an early Seattle lead in the first inning with an RBI single. He later scored the game-winning run. Seager's played all 10 of the Rangers' games thus far and is batting .270 with three home runs, six RBI, a stolen base and seven runs scored.

Garcia retired the side in order in the eighth inning and earned a hold in a 2-1 win over the Mariners on Monday.

The left-handed Garcia, who is part of a committee of closers, entered the eighth inning with a string of lefties due up. He worked a 1-2-3 inning to record his second hold of the season. Jakob Junis followed him in the ninth inning to record his first save. Garcia has a 2.25 ERA through five outings, having allowed three runs (one earned) on two hits and four walks while striking out three over four innings.

Williams' scheduled start Tuesday against the Royals was moved up to 1:10 p.m. ET from its originally scheduled 6:10 pm due to a forecast of frigid conditions in the Cleveland area, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Fantasy managers will want to adjust their lineups accordingly to accommodate the new time for first pitch. Williams is coming off a dominant start against the Dodgers last Wednesday in which he picked up his first win while striking out 10 over seven shutout innings.

Schneemann entered Monday's game as a pinch runner and remained in the game at second base. He went 0-for-1 in his lone plate appearance.

Schneemann ran for Gabriel Arias (hamstring), who was removed after legging out a two-out, fifth-inning double. Schneemann was stranded on the bases and remained in the game to play second base, while Brayan Rocchio moved from second to shortstop. Arias is expected to miss Tuesday's game and could need more time, which would provide a boost in playing time for Schneemann, who is batting .185 over 27 at-bats.

Rocchio moved mid-game from second base to shortstop for the injured Gabriel Arias (hamstring) on Monday.

Arias' injury looks like it will keep him out of Tuesday's contest, but it's not yet known if a stint on the injured list is required. He's set to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. Rocchio is the likely fill-in at shortstop if Arias needs multiple games off or a stay on the IL.

Arias (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Arias pulled up gingerly in the fifth inning Monday on his way to a double and was removed from the game. He's unlikely to play in Tuesday's game, which was moved up from a scheduled 6:10 pm start to 1:10 pm due to frigid nighttime weather forecasted for Cleveland. Following Monday's exit, Daniel Schneemann pinch ran for Arias, while Brayan Rocchio replaced him at shortstop.

Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a home run during Monday's 4-2 loss to the Royals.

The two bookends to the Guardians lineup accounted for both runs Monday. Leadoff hitter Steven Kwan and Rocchio, batting in the ninth spot, each hit a solo home run, but it wouldn't be enough to earn Cleveland the win. As for Rocchio, it was the first home run of the season for the 25-year-old, who is off to a decent start to the year. On the season, he is slashing .200/.351/.333 with a double, four RBI, five walk and four strikeouts. His .685 OPS would set a career mark if he were to sustain that over the full season.

Kwan went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Royals.

In 593 career games, Kwan has homered 36 times which equates to about one homer every 16 games. Homers aren't the strong suit of the 28-year-old's game, but he slugged his first of the year Monday against the Royals after having 11 last year. Overall on the season, Kwan is slashing .244/.326/.366 with four walks, six strikeouts, two doubles and three RBI.

Bibee didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Royals, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out three in 4.1 innings pitched.

It wasn't an easy outing for Bibee as he needed 87 pitches to work through 4.1 innings, the second straight start in which he failed to finish the fifth inning. The 27-year-old allowed just one run, a RBI single from Jonathan India, but departed with the game tied at one. Through three starts on the year, the right-hander is 0-1 with a 3.29 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 14 strikeouts and five walks in 13.2 innings pitched. His next start is scheduled for Sunday against Atlanta.

Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 2-1 loss against the Rangers.

Raleigh launched his first homer of the season, taking the 12th pitch of his first-inning at-bat against Jacob deGrom and sending it into the right-field bleachers. Coming off a historic 2025 campaign that included 60 homers, 125 RBI and a .948 OPS, it's been a slow start to 2026 for the catcher. Through 11 games, the 29-year-old is slashing .146/.255/.268 with a homer, two doubles and five RBI, though it's worth noting he would have another long ball if not for Jo Adell's recent string of home run robberies Saturday.
