Donovan (leg) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Angels.

Donovan injured his left leg while attempting beat out an infield hit, and the Mariners will hold him out of Saturday's game to give him a chance to recover. Leo Rivas will man the hot corner in Donovan's stead and bat ninth.

Caballero went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and two stolen bases in an 8-2 win against the Marlins on Friday.

Even without notching a hit, Caballero made his fantasy managers happy with his pair of thefts. Those who roster the speedster shouldn't be looking for much more from Caballero, who has never hit above .236 or hit more than nine homers in a major-league regular season but who has stolen 122 bases across 376 contests. He's been pretty true to form so far in 2026, posting a lowly .398 OPS and just one RBI but contributing three thefts through seven games. Caballero should maintain a near-everyday role at shortstop for the Yankees until Anthony Volpe (shoulder) is ready to come off the IL, which could happen around early May.

India isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

India will take a seat in the dugout to begin Saturday's twin bill after going 3-for-12 with a homer, five RBI and two runs scored during Kansas City's previous series against the Twins. Nick Loftin will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two stolen bases in Friday's 8-2 win over the Marlins.

The second baseman is scuffling a bit at the plate to begin the season, batting .192 (5-for-26) through seven games with a 1:10 BB:K and zero homers, but Chisholm is making an impact when he does get on base, stealing four bags in five attempts. Chisholm's career high in stolen bases is 40, set over 147 regular-season games in 2024 -- the year he was traded from the Marlins to the Yankees.

Donovan was removed from Friday's game against the Angels with a potential leg injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Donovan landed awkwardly on first base while attempting to leg out an infield single in the seventh inning and was replaced on defense to begin the bottom of the frame. The Mariners haven't officially announced that Donovan is dealing with an injury, but it's still possible the 29-year-old tweaked something during the play. If so, Leo Rivas may get an opportunity to start at third base, or the team could bring up Colt Emerson for his MLB debut.

Acuna went 1-for-3 with a stolen base Friday against the Blue Jays.

Acuna has alternated starts at shortstop and center field, but he has been in the lineup for six of Chicago's seven games this season. He has at least one hit in three consecutive appearances, and his stolen base Friday marked his third of the season. Acuna has yet to log an extra-base hit, so his counting stats are likely to remain limited, but he does appear to have a green light on the basepaths.

Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the White Sox.

Gimenez tied the game in the eighth inning with a two-run blast off Jordan Leasure. He is now 9-for-26 with three extra-base hits, seven RBI and two steals to open the season. While the 27-year-old has mostly struggled since his All-Star 2022 campaign, early signs suggest he should improve on his lowly .210/.285/.313 regular-season slash line from his first year with the Blue Jays in 2025.

India is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

It's a routine day off for India, who has now started five of the first seven contests at second base this season. Nick Loftin is handling the keystone and batting eighth in Friday's series opener.

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 he 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.

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.
