Acuna is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Athletics on Saturday.

Acuna was productive in Friday's series opener, going 2-for-4 with a a steal, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in a 9-2 win. He'll be on the bench for the start of Saturday's game while the White Sox roll with Sam Antonacci, Tristan Peters and Everson Pereira in the outfield from left to right.

Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Gimenez is 11-for-32 (.344) with three extra-base hits and two steals over his last nine games. The infielder continues to hit well and is batting .290 on the year with an .822 OPS, three home runs, four steals, 11 RBI, six runs scored, two doubles and one triple over 19 contests. Gimenez has primarily hit in the bottom half of the order but has a starting job at shortstop. He's missed the 10-homer mark the last two seasons and was limited to 12 steals on 14 attempts over 101 regular-season games in 2025, but if he maintains steady playing time, he should rebound slightly in the counting stats.

Acuna went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 9-2 win over the Athletics.

Acuna swiped his fifth base of the season in the fourth inning, and his RBI double one inning later was his first extra-base hit of the season. The light-hitting Acuna is now slashing .193/.242/.211 with three RBI, six runs scored, five steals and a 3:9 BB:K across 63 trips to the plate.

Altuve went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Cardinals.

Altuve took Kyle Leahy deep in the bottom of the fifth inning to pull Houston within one run. After batting .378 through the first 11 games of the season, Altuve is 8-for-38 (.211) over his last nine games. Altuve's homer Friday was his first RBI in that span. The second baseman is slashing .293/.404/.493 with three home runs, seven RBI, 15 runs scored, one stolen base and a 14:17 BB:K across 89 trips to the plate.

Gorman went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 9-4 win over the Astros.

After striking out in each of his first three at-bats Friday, Gorman turned on a 96-mph fastball from Bryan Abreu and sent it over the right-field wall for a three-run shot to open the Cardinals' lead to 7-3 in the top of the seventh inning. An all-or-nothing type at the plate, Gorman's unlikely to hit for average or get on base at a high clip. He's slashing .207/.284/.362 with three home runs, 12 RBI, seven runs scored and a 7:22 BB:K across 67 plate appearances.

Donovan was removed from Friday's game against the Rangers with left hip tightness, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Donovan went 0-for-2 at the plate Friday before being replaced at third base in the fourth inning. The Mariners don't believe that Donovan is dealing with anything serious, though he may still sit out a game or two as a precaution. Leo Rivas entered as Donovan's replacement Friday and will likely take over as Seattle's third baseman if the latter has to miss a start.

Schneemann went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Orioles.

Schneemann's seventh-inning grand slam broke a scoreless tie, but the Guardians' bullpen gave it all back and then some a half inning later. The utility infielder has hit in six consecutive games, going 10-for-20 with two doubles, two home runs, nine RBI and four runs scored. He started at shortstop Friday but has been all over diamond. Cleveland is getting very little production at shortstop or second base, which could lead to a near-everyday role for Schneemann, who is batting .313 over 16 games played.

The Tigers recalled Lee from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

A top prospect in the Tigers organization, Lee gets the promotion after Zach McKinstry (hip/abdomen) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Lee will make his major-league debut Friday, as he's hitting eighth and playing third base against Red Sox lefty Ranger Suarez. The 23-year-old Lee was acquired from the Phillies at the trade deadline during the 2023 season and slashed .243/.342/.406 with 14 home runs, 61 RBI, 81 runs scored and 22 stolen bases at Triple-A last season.

Vargas went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday against the Rays.

After a strong start to the season, Vargas entered Thursday's game having collected only two hits across his last 33 at-bats. However, he showed some signs of turning things around with a solo blast in the third inning, his second of the season and first since March 30. Though Vargas is hitting only .159 across 76 plate appearances to begn the campaign, he's striking out at only an 18.4 percent clip while suffering from a BABIP of .167.

Bazzana went 3-for-6 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored for Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

Bazzana is breaking out from a slow start and has hit safely in six straight games, going 11-for-24 with six doubles, two steals and four runs scored. The Guardians bypassed the 2024 first-overall pick for a promotion earlier this month when they needed a replacement for the injured Gabriel Arias (hamstring), who is expected to be sidelined until mid-May at the earliest. Instead, the organization promoted Juan Brito, who is currently mired in a 1-for-18 slump. Brito's slump along with Cleveland's second basemen batting .188 (24th in MLB) could open the door for Bazzana to make his MLB debut sooner rather than later (as was expected).
