Caglianone went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored in Wednesday's 13-9 win over the Twins.

Caglianone has logged multiple hits in two of five games so far. The outfielder has added two doubles, one walk and four strikeouts over 15 plate appearances so far. The 23-year-old struggled to a .157/.237/.295 slash line with seven home runs, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored and a stolen base over 62 contests in 2025 in his first taste of major-league action. He has some work to do to prove he's taken a step up from last year, but aside from the strikeout problem, he's on the right track for improvement. Caglianone is filling a strong-side platoon role in right field.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Guardians.

Freeman has had a slow start to the season, going 5-for-24 (.208) over his first six games. He's logged an extra-base hit in two of his last four contests, including his ninth-inning homer Wednesday to keep the Dodgers from getting shut out. The first baseman has added three RBI. The slow start among the Dodgers' top hitters is a little concerning, but the defending champions should be fine in the long run, and Freeman's move down to the cleanup spot versus right-handed pitchers should benefit his run production this year.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win against Seattle.

The veteran first baseman drew a rare start versus a right-hander with Giancarlo Stanton getting the day off, launching his first homer of the campaign. Goldschmidt is still expected to see most of his playing time come against left-handed pitching in 2026, as Ben Rice is set to handle the bulk of the reps at first base going forward while Stanton receives the majority of the action at designated hitter.

Kayfus is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

After starting three of the first four games of the season, Kayfus is now out of the lineup for the third straight tilt. Angel Martinez -- who is starting in right field -- and Daniel Schneemann -- who is starting in center field -- appear to have inched past Kayfus in the outfield pecking order at the moment.

Clemens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

With the Twins facing a lefty starter (Noah Cameron) for the second day in a row, the left-handed-hitting Clemens will hit the bench for another game. Victor Caratini will step in for Clemens at first base and bat seventh.

The Nationals released Mervis on Tuesday.

Mervis was unable to win a spot on the Nationals' Opening Day roster coming out of spring training and will now leave the organization entirely after going 0-for-4 with a walk in his lone game with Triple-A Rochester this season. The 27-year-old Mervis established himself as a breakout prospect for the Cubs during the 2022 minor-league campaign, but he's struggled to make contact over parts of three seasons in the majors and has now had four organizations pull the plug on him.

Schanuel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

The left-handed-hitting Schanuel will sit for the first time this season while the Angels face off against a lefty (Matthew Boyd) for the series finale in Chicago. Jeimer Candelario will spell Schanuel at first base and will bat seventh Wednesday.

Santana is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Starting at first base will be Jose Fernandez, who clubbed two home runs in his first major-league game Tuesday. Santana had started the first five games of the season, going 1-for-16 with a 2:6 BB:K.

Torkelson is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Arizona.

Torkelson will receive his first day off of the season after going 3-for-20 with eight strikeouts through five games. Colt Keith will get a start at first base for the Tigers in Wednesday's series finale.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Casas (knee) will be will be shut down from hitting after sustaining a left intercostal strain, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Casas missed time during the 2024 season due to torn cartilage in his left rib cage, though this setback appears unrelated. He hasn't undergone an MRI and will be re-evaluated in a few days. The first baseman is on the 10-day injured list as he continues his recovery from patellar tendon surgery and faces an uncertain timetable. If the intercostal issue is deemed serious enough of a setback, Casas will be a candidate to shift to the 60-day IL.
