    Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Late scratch Sunday

    Tellez (hand) was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Tellez had X-rays on his left hand come back negative after being hit by a pitch Saturday, but he'll still end up sitting out at least one game after initially being listed on the lineup card. Donovan Solano will step in at first base for the Mariners in the series finale.

    Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Good to go Sunday

    Tellez (hand) is starting at first base and batting sixth Sunday against the Marlins.

    The 30-year-old exited Saturday's contest after being hit by a pitch on the left hand, but he's back in the lineup Sunday after X-rays came back negative. Tellez has found his power stroke over the past couple weeks and has a .316/.435/.842 slash line with three homers in his past nine games.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Starting rehab assignment Sunday

    Horwitz (wrist) will embark on a rehab assignment with Double-A Altoona on Sunday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Horwitz underwent surgery in February to repair an extensor tendon in his right thumb that was causing pain in his wrist, but he's finally ready for game action. Horwitz appeared in 97 games for the Blue Jays in 2024, slashing .265/.357/.433 with 12 home runs and 40 RBI in 381 plate appearances.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Avoids fracture, sitting Sunday

    Schanuel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins after being diagnosed with a right knee bruise, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    The 23-year-old departed Saturday's contest after fouling a pitch off his knee, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury and is considered day-to-day. J.D. Davis is starting at first base Sunday in place of Schanuel, who will have a team off day Monday to aid in his recovery before Tuesday's series opener in Seattle.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | CHC

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Slump continues

    Santana went 0-for-1 with a walk and an RBI in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Boston. He did not play in the nightcap.

    Santana produced a run with a sacrifice fly during Cleveland's four-run first inning, just his second RBI over the last 12 games. His batting average has dipped to .202 following a stretch of 23 at-bats without a hit.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Continuing to work in platoon

    Casas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Casas will sit for a second straight game with the Guardians sending another lefty (Logan Allen) to the mound. The first baseman has yet to start against a southpaw this season, though Sunday's contest marks just the sixth such game for the Red Sox. Romy Gonzalez is receiving another start at first base.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Pops second homer

    Toglia went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Reds.

    Toglia has come alive at the plate to begin the Rockies' homestand, collecting five hits across nine games with five RBI in the first two games. He popped his second homer of the season Saturday, taking Hunter Greene yard. Despite the recent success, Toglia is still striking out at a concerning 41.2 percent clip across 94 plate appearances.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | CHW

    Rays' Curtis Mead: Tallies second RBI

    Mead recorded an RBI on a sacrifice fly as a pinch hitter in Saturday's game against the Padres.

    Mead remains in a strict short-side platoon role, with his last start against a right-handed pitcher coming April 5. He also hasn't recorded a hit since April 10, going 0-for-13 since. Mead did manage his second RBI of the campaign Saturday.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Power surge continues Saturday

    Torkelson went 2-for-8 with a double, a home run and three RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader with the Orioles.

    Torkelson continues to drive the ball this season, as that's now eight home runs across 27 games to go along with a strong .950 OPS. The 25-year-old dipped to a .669 OPS in the regular season last year, but he appears to be having a bounce-back campaign in 2025, and he could surpass the career-best 31 home runs that he tallied back in 2023 if he stays healthy.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: X-rays clean on left hand

    X-rays on Tellez's left hand came back negative following Saturday's 14-0 win over the Marlins, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Tellez's left hand was hit by a pitch from Anthony Veneziano in the fourth inning of Saturday's game. Tellez initially stayed in the game but was replaced at first base by Donovan Solano before the start of the sixth. The clean MRI is good news for Tellez, but he could be held out of Sunday's series finale with the Mariners slated for an off day Monday.
