  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Sitting Monday

    Goldschmidt is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday.

    Ben Rice will start at first base and bat in the leadoff spot in Monday's series opener. Goldschmidt went 7-for-17 with one steal and two RBI over his last four games, and since the beginning of May he has slashed .329/.393/.513 with three steals, three home runs and 14 RBI in 85 plate appearances.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | CHC

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Out of lineup Monday

    Santana (leg) isn't part of the starting nine for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

    Santana was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to left leg tightness, and his removal was deemed precautionary. The Guardians have opted to withhold Santana from the lineup again Monday, allowing for Kyle Manzardo to draw the start at first base while Lane Thomas starts at DH.

  • Blaine Crim 1B | COL

    Rangers' Blaine Crim: Called up

    The Rangers recalled Crim from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

    Crim will join the Rangers for his second big-league stint after going hitless in 11 at-bats at the start of May. He'll likely mix in at first base behind Jake Burger and at DH after Joc Pederson (hand) was placed on the injured list. In 180 plate appearances at Triple-A in 2025, Crim slashed .294/.361/.544 with 10 home runs.

  • Royals' Jac Caglianone: On fire at Triple-A

    Caglianone has gone 9-for-26 (.346) with five home runs, 10 RBI and five runs scored in six games since being promoted to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    Caglianone moved up to Omaha after slashing .316/.385/.546 in 175 plate appearances at Double-A Northwest Arkansas to begin the season, and he hasn't skipped a beat at the next level. The 22-year-old looks to be on the fast track to making his MLB debut, and he's notably made three of his starts with Omaha so far in the corner outfield. Though first base might end up being Caglianone's long-term home in the majors, left field, right field and the designated-hitter spot represent his most logical avenues for playing time with Kansas City in 2025.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Nearing rehab assignment

    Gonzalez (quadriceps) appears to be close to beginning a rehab assignment, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Gonzalez experienced a setback last week that delayed his rehab, but manager Alex Cora said Sunday the infielder is feeling better and is awaiting word from the medical team to determine his next step. Prior to his injury, Gonzalez had been part of a rotation of players at first base, covering for the injured Triston Casas (knee). The Red Sox have been leaning on Nick Sogard and Abraham Toro at the position since Gonzalez landed on the shelf with a left quad contusion.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | CHW

    Rays' Curtis Mead: Homers in three straight games

    Mead hit a two-run home run in his only plate appearance Sunday against the Blue Jays.

    Mead has seen increased playing time across the last week, though that was only because the Rays faced three lefties. He's started just four games against right-handed pitching all season, limiting his fantasy appeal despite the fact that he has a home run in each of his last three games -- two of which were starts.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Rips walk-off shot

    Walker went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's win over Seattle.

    Walker put Houston on the board with an RBI single in the third inning before coming up clutch late. The veteran slugger ripped a walk-off, two-run shot in the ninth inning for his sixth home run of the year. He's produced two straight multi-hit games after going 3-for-27 (.111) in his previous seven appearances. Walker is now slashing .212/.275/.354 with 23 RBI and 15 extra-base hits through 218 plate appearances.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Homers in win

    Burger went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

    Burger opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the second inning and then doubled and scored in the ninth. Since rejoining the Rangers on May 1, the 29-year-old has gone 14-for-48 with eight extra base hits and nine RBI over 13 games. On the year, he's slashing .223/.259/.426 with seven long balls, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base across 158 plate appearances.

  • Nick Kurtz 1B | ATH

    Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Not starting Sunday

    Kurtz (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Kurtz's absence from the lineup isn't especially surprising after he was lifted late in Saturday's 11-inning loss to the Phillies due to the left hip flexor injury he sustained while running the bases. The Athletics are currently labeling Kurtz as day-to-day, but his availability for the start of the team's upcoming series in Houston following Monday's team off day isn't yet known. Logan Davidson will cover first base Sunday in Kurtz's stead.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Idle against southpaw

    Tellez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Tellez will take a seat for the second straight game while the Astros send another lefty to the hill in Colton Gordon. Donovan Solano will cover first base in Tellez's stead.
