  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Hits three singles Wednesday

    Guerrero went 3-for-5 with one run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-innings win over the Red Sox.

    Guerrero reached base three times and scored one of the Blue Jays' two runs on the same day his 14-year, $500 million contract extension became official. It was his fifth multi-hit game of the season, four of which have come over his last six outings. Guerrero has yet to hit a home run and has started the 2025 campaign slashing .288/.367/.346 with six walks, five runs, three doubles and four RBI across 60 plate appearances.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | CHC

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Belts second homer of 2025

    Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.

    Santana took Sean Burke deep to center field for a 410-foot solo home run, which turned out to be the deciding run in Wednesday's game. Santana is off to a good start in 2025, and over his last eight outings he's gone 10-for-30 with three walks, four runs, two home runs and three RBI.

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Draws three walks Wednesday

    Vaughn went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts, three walks and one run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Cleveland.

    Vaughn was able to reach base three times Wednesday despite not recording a hit, and he scored the first run of the game on a Lenyn Sosa RBI single in the first inning. Vaughn has reached base in six of his last eight games but has gone 5-for-28 with four walks, one home run and five RBI over that span.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Idle against lefty

    Aranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    With lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the hill for the Angels, the Rays will counter with a lineup made up entirely of right-handed and switch hitters. Yandy Diaz and Junior Caminero will start at first base and designated hitter, respectively, while Aranda's streak of five consecutive starts comes to an end.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Cleared to start Wednesday

    Soderstrom (calf) will start at first base and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Padres.

    Soderstrom was forced out late in Tuesday's 10-4 win due to a right calf contusion, but his early exit was likely precautionary more than anything, given that the Athletics held a six-run lead at the time of his departure. Even with a quick turnaround for Wednesday's day game, Soderstrom is feeling well enough to handle his usual duties as the Athletics' starting first baseman. The 23-year-old has been on fire at the dish to begin the season, batting .378 with a .440 on-base percentage and six home runs through 12 games.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Starts at first base

    Gonzalez started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Gonzalez replaced the lefty-hitting Triston Casas at first base against Toronto southpaw Easton Lucas. It was the second time this season the Red Sox have faced a left-handed starter, and Gonzalez started at first base in both games. Red Sox manager Alex Cora talked during spring training about Casas being the everyday starter -- against righties and lefties -- but it hasn't played out that way thus far in a small sampling. Gonzalez has hit in four consecutive outings (7-for-15, five runs) and has reached base safely in all five games played.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Injury labeled as contusion

    Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said after Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Padres that the right calf injury Soderstrom sustained earlier in the game was a contusion, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

    The team initially labeled Soderstrom's injury as right calf tightness shortly after he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, but Kotsay seemed to downplay the severity of the health concern afterward. Before exiting the game, Soderstrom went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. The Athletics will conclude their series with San Diego on Wednesday with a day game after a night game, and it wouldn't be surprising if Soderstrom were held out of that contest, especially with a team off day looming Thursday.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Pops homer Tuesday

    Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

    Torkelson hit the first of three fourth-inning home runs against Carlos Carrasco to help give the Tigers some breathing room. Torkelson's been enjoying a resurgence early on. It's taken him 11 games to reach three home runs after it took him 44 games in 2024 to reach the same mark, and he's hitting .310/.408/.643 with a 1.051 OPS through 49 plate appearances so far this season.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Removed with calf tightness

    Soderstrom was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres due to right calf tightness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Soderstrom went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. His removal may have been precautionary since the Athletics were up 10-4 by that point in the inning, but it's still something the team might keep an eye on over the next couple of days.

  • Mark Canha LF | KC

    Royals' Mark Canha: Collides with wall, exits game

    Canha was removed from Tuesday's game against the Twins due to left hip soreness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports

    Canha ran into the outfield wall while attempting to catch a flyball in the fifth inning. He remained in the game immediately after the incident but was replaced on defense when the Royals took the field in the top of the sixth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for the time being.
