  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: On base three times in loss

    Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a walk in Friday's loss to the Mets.

    The Blue Jays managed only four hits in total on the day, with George Springer collecting the other two. Guerrero is still looking for his first homer of 2025 and is batting .267 (8-for-30) with three doubles and three RBI, but the first baseman has reached base in all eight of Toronto's games so far. A breakout performance could come at any time.

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Doubles twice in win

    Casas went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Friday's 13-9 win over St. Louis.

    Casas, who belted his first home run of the season in Thursday's win over Baltimore, followed it up with two more extra-base hits Friday. The first baseman opened the season on a 2-for-21 run, but he appears to have found his swing over the last two games.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Belts first homer

    Casas went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Orioles.

    Like a few of his teammates, Casas has had a quiet start to the regular season, going 1-for-17 (.059) through his first five games. The first baseman had an encouraging finish to team's seven-game road trip though, with his two-run homer in the seventh inning giving the Red Sox breathing room en route to their first series win of the season. Casas was often given days off against left-handers last season, and he was on the bench for the lone southpaw the team has faced thus far in 2025. He'll look to build off Thursday's contributions in Boston's home opener Friday against St. Louis right-hander Erick Fedde.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Cranks first Astros homer

    Walker went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 5-2 win over Minnesota.

    Walker had gone just 3-for-24 with no extra-base hits before launching a 402-foot homer off Joe Ryan to lead off the second inning Thursday. The Astros will hope it's the first of many for Walker, who posted an .803 OPS with 26 home runs and 84 RBI in 552 plate appearances with Arizona last season.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Getting day off Thursday

    Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    It's the first day off this season for Goldschmidt, who had batted leadoff in each of the last four contests. Ben Rice will be at the top of the batting order and playing first base for the Yankees in Thursday's series finale.

  • Xavier Isaac 1B | TB

    Rays' Xavier Isaac: Could return in late April

    Isaac (elbow) is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Montgomery and could be activated in late April as he builds up his throwing, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

    He underwent a precautionary MRI on his left elbow back in February and was able to get into spring games in early March, but he aggravated the injury and missed the Spring Breakout game and looks like he'll end up missing about six weeks due to the injury if he avoids further setbacks. Isaac has a lot to prove after striking out at a 40.6 percent clip in his first exposure to Double-A pitching as a 20-year-old.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Absent from lineup

    Mountcastle is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Red Sox.

    It's a routine day off for Mountcastle, who has now started five of the first seven games for the Orioles this season. Ryan O'Hearn will start at first base and Tyler O'Neill will be the designated hitter in Thursday's series finale.

  • Donovan Solano 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Donovan Solano: Handling short-side platoon role

    Solano will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Solano will pick up his third start of the season, all of which have come at first base and when the Mariners have gone up against left-handed pitching. The 37-year-old looks like he'll be limited to a short-side platoon role while Rowdy Tellez and Luke Raley are healthy and available to serve as the primary options at first base and designated hitter, respectively.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Taking seat versus lefty

    Raley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Raley and fellow left-handed hitter Rowdy Tellez will move to the bench for the series finale while the Tigers send southpaw Tarik Skubal to the hill. With Raley getting the afternoon off, Cal Raleigh will occupy the designated-hitter spot while Mitch Garver fills in for Raleigh behind the plate.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: On bench against lefty

    Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    The Tigers are sending southpaw Tarik Skubal to the hill, so Tellez and fellow left-handed hitter Luke Raley will hit the bench as the Mariners add a couple of extra right-handed bats to the lineup. Donovan Solano will step in for Tellez at first base.
