Paul Goldschmidt 1B | NYY
Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.
The veteran first baseman started the previous seven games and will receive a day off after going 9-for-29 with two homers, seven RBI and seven runs during that span. After posting a career-worst .716 OPS last season, Goldschmidt has enjoyed a resurgence so far in 2025 with a .353/.400/.481 slash line through 35 games.

Christian Walker 1B | HOU
Astros' Christian Walker: Average ticking up
Walker went 2-for-4 with a run scored Sunday against the White Sox.
This wasn't a remarkable performance on the surface, but it marked Walker's fourth multi-hit effort in his last 11 starts. He's gone 12-for-43 in that span, raising his batting average to .200 after an abysmal start to the season. Walker's performance has begun to stabilize, as he also has six extra-base hits with six runs and five RBI in his last 11 games.

Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Starts at first base again
Gonzalez started at first base and went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Minnesota.
Gonzalez started at first base in both games since Triston Casas went down with a season-ending knee injury Friday. Gonzalez is relatively new to the position -- he played 18 games there last season and was part of platoon in 2025 -- and it's unclear if he'll be the permanent fill-in for Casas. He's been consistent all season, hitting safely in nine of 11 starts, and enters Monday's day off with a .327/.382/.449 slash line, three steals, six RBI and 10 runs scored over 16 games.

Jonathan Aranda 1B | TB
Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Homer, three hits in win
Aranda went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two walks in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Yankees.
Aranda crushed a 409-foot solo shot in the third inning and later chipped in a two-run single in the seventh. While his platoon role caps his overall upside, the 26-year-old has torched righties this season, slashing a remarkable .350/.430/.650 with five homers and 17 RBI over 93 plate appearances.

Vinnie Pasquantino 1B | KC
Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Homer, three hits in win
Pasquantino went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 11-6 win over the Orioles.
Pasquantino fell a triple short of the cycle Sunday, highlighted by a solo homer in the seventh inning. The first baseman has been heating up over his past 10 games, slugging four home runs with eight RBI and seven runs scored. While his overall slash line remains underwhelming at .197/.252/.386 across 143 plate appearances, he's provided some pop with six long balls and 22 RBI on the year.

Triston Casas 1B | BOS
Red Sox's Triston Casas: Recovering from surgery
Casas underwent successful surgery Sunday to repair the ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The 25-year-old suffered the injury during Friday's 6-1 win over the Twins, and the organization didn't waste much time sending him in for the surgery. Casas doesn't have an official timeline for his return, but he's expected to miss the rest of the 2025 season while going through his recovery and rehab programs. Romy Gonzalez has started at first base in both of the two games since Casas went down with the knee injury.

Bobby Dalbec 1B | CHW
White Sox's Bobby Dalbec: DFA'd by White Sox
The White Sox designated Dalbec for assignment on Sunday.
The 29-year-old was added to the big-league roster April 21 and appeared in seven games during his time in the majors, going 4-for-18 with three walks and six strikeouts. Dalbec could return to Triple-A Charlotte if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Tyler Soderstrom LF | ATH
Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Receiving first day off
Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Soderstrom will get his first day off of the season, in the midst of a rough patch at the dish. After slugging nine home runs in the Athletics' first 19 games, Soderstrom has gone without a long ball over the ensuing 15 contests and is slashing .228/.286/.281 with three doubles, one stolen base, six RBI and five runs during that stretch, a downturn that has coincided with a shift to the outfield to accommodate rookie Nick Kurtz. Soderstrom will give up his spot in the lineup Sunday to Miguel Andujar, who will start in left field and bat cleanup.

Spencer Torkelson 1B | DET
Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Goes deep in loss
Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.
Torkelson hit his team-leading 10th home run of the season in the eighth inning as Detroit mounted an unsuccessful comeback attempt. The 25-year-old has seen his average tumble a bit as he's batting just .125 over his last 10 games, but he's gone deep three times during that time and his power remains his top fantasy asset.

Cavan Biggio RF | HOU
Royals' Cavan Biggio: Launches first homer
Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 4-0 win against Baltimore on Saturday.
Offense was at a premium in the rain-delayed contest, and Biggio provided a key run with his 389-foot solo shot in the fifth inning. It was the first long ball of the season for the veteran infielder, who has struggled to a .191/.321/.255 slash line through 57 plate appearances this season. The poor numbers have impacted Biggio's playing time and have made him a non-factor in almost all fantasy formats.
