Torres went 1-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 victory versus the Astros.

Torres used his legs to help generate the game-winning run, following a two-out, ninth-inning single with a swipe of second base before sprinting home on a Juan Soto single to left field. The theft was Torres' first of the campaign as he seeks to reach double-digit steals for the third straight year. The second baseman is off to a slow start to the campaign otherwise, however, slashing just .133/.316/.133 without an extra-base hit through 19 plate appearances.

Schneider went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Rays.

Making his first start of the season with Tyler Alexander set as the bulk pitcher for Tampa Bay, Schneider ripped an 88.8 mph fastball from the southpaw in the fifth inning over the left-field fence. The 25-year-old was expected to see the majority of his playing time this season at second base, either in a platoon or a timeshare with Cavan Biggio, but Schneider got the start in left field Sunday while Biggio was in right and Isiah Kiner-Falefa shifted to the keystone. The Blue Jays have a lot of moving parts in their lineup, but if Schneider gets hot at the plate, he'll get consistent playing time.

Caballero went 1-for-3 with a stolen base Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Caballero has opened the season as the Rays' starting shortstop in the absence of Taylor Walls (hip) and has performed well. He has at least one hit in all four games and has also scored twice while driving in three. Caballero also swiped his first base of the campaign after stealing 26 bags in only 280 plate appearances in 2023.

Semien went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Cubs.

Semien notched a two-RBI single in the bottom of the second inning before later adding an RBI single, coming around to score on a triple from Wyatt Langford. Through three games in 2024, the second baseman has gone 4-for-13 with a double, two walks, four RBI and two runs scored.

Altuve went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Sunday in a loss against the Yankees.

Altuve got on the board in the home run department, taking Clarke Schmidt yard in the third inning. He reached three times in total, tagging Schmidt again in the sixth for a double and eventually coming around to score before walking in the seventh inning. Altuve has registered a hit in all four appearances this season, batting 6-for-18 (.333) with three runs scored and two strikeouts.

Valdez went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over Seattle.

Valdez had gone 0-for-6 over the past two games before launching a three-run shot off Bryce Miller in the fourth inning. Through four appearances this season, Valdez is 2-for-12 with one extra-base knock. He appears to be getting fairly regular playing time, at least while Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) is out.

Stefanic (quadriceps) has resumed light baseball activity at the Angels' training complex in Arizona, MLB.com reports.

Stefanic landed on the injured list March 28 after feeling discomfort in his left quad during the Angels' first spring training game. He initially resumed running and baseball activity but suffered a setback in mid-March and subsequently underwent an MRI that revealed a quad strain. It's unclear how long Stefanic will be out of action, and there's no guarantee that he'll have a spot on the big-league roster once he's ready to return.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a run in an extra-inning win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

Rojas was the only Mariner to record more than one hit in the low-scoring marathon affair. The 29-year-old has hit safely in each of his first two games, and he should continue seeing fairly regular playing time at both second base and third base moving forward.

Rengifo is in the lineup Sunday against Baltimore for his first start of the season.

Regnifo gets his first start of the season at third base while batting sixth with Miguel Sano on the bench and Anthony Rendon sliding into the designated hitter spot. Rengifo was not in the Opening Day lineup Thursday, though it's expected that he'll be a regular in the lineup against lefties. However, righty Tyler Wells is on the mound for the Orioles on Sunday.

Urias is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Urias has struggled in his first two starts of the season, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. Josh Rojas will start at third base and bat ninth Saturday against Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford.
