Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 1B | TOR
Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Provides only offense Tuesday
Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.
The Blue Jays managed just four hits as a team, but Guerrero was able to get a hold of one off Garrett Crochet in the third for his third homer of the year. Guerrero leads the Blue Jays in home runs and RBI (14), though that's not saying a ton, as Toronto has just 15 homers this season. He's hitting just .160 over his last seven games but holds a .271 average and .368 on-base percentage so far this season.

Ty France 1B | TOR
Twins' Ty France: Supplies lone offense in loss
France went 3-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Guardians.
The 30-year-old was the only Minnesota player to collect multiple hits, and his solo homer during the fifth inning accounted for the club's lone run of the day. France has been on a tear over the past four games with three multi-hit performances, and he's gone 8-for-16 with three doubles and a home run during that stretch. He's enjoyed a decent start to the campaign with a .267/.345/.410 slash line and three long balls in 30 games while serving as the Twins' primary first baseman.

Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA
Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Back in lineup Tuesday
Schanuel (knee) is in the Angels' lineup Tuesday at first base and is batting second.
Schanuel missed Sunday's rubber match in Minnesota due to a right knee bruise. He suffered the injury when he fouled a pitch off his knee, which forced him to depart Saturday's game early. The 23-year-old will resume his first-base duties Tuesday after J.D. Davis took over for Sunday's game and following the Angels' off day Monday.

J.D. Davis 1B | LAA
Angels' J.D. Davis: Pushed off 40-man
The Angels designated Davis for assignment Tuesday.
Since joining the active roster April 10, Davis has gone just 1-for-9 with three strikeouts while appearing in only five games. His lack of success and playing time has now caused him to lose his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Gustavo Campero, who was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX
Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Back in lineup Tuesday
Tellez (hand) is back in the lineup and batting sixth for Tuesday's game against the Angels.
Tellez was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup but is back in action against Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz. Tellez is slashing .170/.250/.434 with four home runs, 12 RBI and seven runs scored across 60 plate appearances this season.

Carlos Santana 1B | CHC
Guardians' Carlos Santana: Logs two hits in loss
Santana went 2-for-3 in Monday's 11-1 loss to Minnesota.
Santana snapped a hitless run during Sunday's contest and followed up Monday with his first multi-hit effort in 10 games. He's batting .220 with a .598 OPS through 114 plate appearances.

Christian Walker 1B | HOU
Astros' Christian Walker: Cracks homer in win
Walker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in an 8-5 win against the Tigers on Monday.
Walker put the Astros on the board with a two-run shot to left-center field in the fourth inning. The long ball was his fourth of the season, three of which have come over his past eight games. Walker is still slashing a modest .192/.273/.354 on the campaign, but he's shown improvement with a .267 batting average and six RBI to go along with the three homers over the aforementioned eight-game stretch.

Xavier Isaac 1B | TB
Rays' Xavier Isaac: Enjoying three-game hitting streak
Isaac (elbow) is 4-for-10 with one home run, four RBI and two runs scored over his last three games at Double-A Montgomery.
Isaac, who began the 2025 campaign on the 7-day injured list due to an elbow injury suffered during spring training, got off to a tough 2-for-20 start at the dish in his first six appearances. However, he's turned the corner of late, racking up three extra-base hits over his last three games, including his first home run of the year.

Nick Kurtz 1B | ATH
Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Taking seat versus lefty
Kurtz is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Texas.
The left-handed-hitting Kurtz started each of the previous three contests when the opponent had a left-hander on the mound, but he'll begin Monday's tilt on the bench as southpaw Patrick Corbin draws the start for the Rangers. Tyler Soderstrom will shift back to first base Monday, and Miguel Andujar will draw the start in left field for the Athletics.
