Davis Schneider 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Knocks in run Wednesday
Schneider went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Rockies.
Schneider has gone 2-for-5 so far in the series, but he's done damage every time he's recorded a hit with a home run and three total RBI. Schneider's playing time has been sporadic so far and only has seven at-bats across three games to open the season, and that inconsistent role limits his upside in most formats as a bench option in a deep Toronto roster.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
Royals' Jonathan India: Delivers grand slam in win
India went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 13-9 win over the Twins.
India went 1-for-10 over his first three games of the season. He delivered the biggest hit in this contest with a sixth-inning slam to put the Royals ahead 12-1, runs that ended up being valuable after the Twins made a late surge. India had just nine homers over 136 regular-season games in 2025, and his .669 OPS last year was a career low. He's still hitting just .200 (3-for-15) with four strikeouts over four contests this season, but India is seeing a starting role at second base over utility man Nick Loftin while Michael Massey (calf) is on the mend.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Records steal in win
Schneemann went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.
Schneemann has gone just 4-for-18 (.222) over six games this season, but three of his hits have been doubles. He made an impact with his legs after getting aboard, stealing third base and scoring after Will Smith's throw to third was errant. The steal was Schneemann's first of the year -- he had nine over 422 plate appearances in the 2025 regular season. Schneemann has made three starts in center field and one each at second and third so far, so he is likely to play regularly in a utility role. His playing time will probably come in the outfield while the Guardians deal with the absence of Chase DeLauter (foot).

Luisangel Acuna 2B | CHW
White Sox's Luisangel Acuna: Another start at shortstop
Acuna will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's contest versus the Marlins.
It's the third start at shortstop already this season for Acuna, who has also made two starts in center field. Colson Montgomery is at third base for the White Sox on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Acuna is currently eligible only at second base on most fantasy platforms, but he's on track to pick up eligibility at shortstop and outfield soon. Acuna is 2-for-12 with a 1:1 BB:K and two stolen bases in his first four games this season.

Jordan Westburg 2B | BAL
Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Shifted to 60-day injured list
The Orioles transferred Westburg (elbow) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Albert Suarez, who was called up from Triple-A Norfolk. Westburg is working his way back from a partially torn UCL in his right elbow and has progressed to swinging a bat and playing catch, manager Craig Albernaz said Wednesday, per Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun. As a result of his move to the 60-day IL, Westburg won't be eligible for activation until May 21 as Baltimore brings him along slowly. Coby Mayo will continue to fill in at third base for the Orioles while Westburg is sidelined.

Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH
Athletics' Jeff McNeil: Exits lineup versus lefty
McNeil is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.
The left-handed-hitting McNeil looks to be in a straightforward platoon at second base, as he's now been absent from the lineup each of the three times the Athletics have gone up against a southpaw. Darrell Hernaiz is covering second base and batting eighth Wednesday.

Andy Ibanez 2B | ATH
Athletics' Andy Ibanez: Collects two RBI vs. Atlanta
Ibanez went 2-for-4 with two RBI singles and a run scored during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Atlanta.
Ibanez put the Athletics on the board with an RBI single in the second inning before doing so again in the fourth. He got the start at second base for the first time this season, and his defensive versatility and success at the plate against southpaws should afford him semi-regular playing time this season.

Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Pops first homer of 2026
Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Rockies.
The infielder took Chase Dollander deep in the eighth inning for his first homer of the season. Gimenez has had a hot start to the year at the plate, going 7-for-14 in four games with a triple, a home run, a stolen base, five RBI and a 2:1 BB:K.

Davis Schneider 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Swats first homer of season
Schneider went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Monday's 14-5 loss to the Rockies.
The 27-year-old entered the game in the eighth inning when Toronto emptied its bench in what ended up a 14-5 rout, and Schneider took advantage of the opportunity by depositing a Chase Dollander changeup into the left-field seats. It was Schneider's first hit of the season in four at-bats, as he's mainly been limited to a short-side platoon role so far.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Logs key hit in win
Schneemann started in center field and went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.
Schneemann's two-out, two-run double in the seventh inning increased Cleveland's lead to 4-0, and it proved to be key, as Los Angeles plated a pair of runs in the ninth. He's found himself in the starting lineup four times through the first five games -- twice in center field and once each at second and third base. Schneemann's versatility is his main fantasy value -- he batted just .206 over 379 at-bats in 2025 -- but he provided 12 home runs and nine steals.
