  • Zack Gelof 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Gelof is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Seattle.

    Gelof started each of the previous three games, including the last two in center field while Denzel Clarke (foot) was unavailable. Clarke was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Wednesday, but Gelof will begin the series finale on the bench while Lawrence Butler shifts over to center field.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Angels' Adam Frazier: Out vs. LHP in second straight game

    Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    After a stretch of four consecutive starts -- all against right-handed pitching -- Frazier will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Angels face another left-handed starter (Eric Lauer). Vaughn Grissom will receive the nod at second base Wednesday while the Angels continue to take a committee approach to the keystone.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Jeff McNeil: Blasts first homer Tuesday

    McNeil went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Mariners.

    McNeil connected on his first homer of 2026, sending a Luis Castillo changeup over the right-field fence for a solo shot in the fourth inning. The second baseman isn't known for his power and hasn't provided much in that department, but he has been solid to start his first season with the Athletics, slashing .278/.361/.389 with a homer, five doubles, five RBI, seven runs and a stolen base across 23 contests.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Blasts clutch homer in win

    Massey went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Orioles.

    Massey delivered a clutch swing in the eighth inning, launching a game-tying solo home run off Rico Garcia for his first long ball of the season, setting the stage for Kansas City's walk-off victory. The second baseman also recorded a double earlier in the game as part of a much-needed performance. Massey has struggled since being brought back from the injured list and is now slashing just .207/.226/.414 with three doubles and four RBI across 31 plate appearances.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Lenyn Sosa: Drives in two runs as pinch hitter

    Sosa went 1-for-1 with a two-run double during the Blue Jays' 4-2 win over the Angels on Tuesday.

    Sosa pinch hit for Jesus Sanchez in the eighth inning and made the most of his opportunity by smacking a two-run double off Drew Pomeranz to put the Blue Jays up 3-1. Since being acquired from the White Sox on April 13, Sosa has gone 4-for-14 (.286) with two doubles and four RBI, and he has given his new team a solid boost at the plate in the absences of both George Springer (toe) and Addison Barger (ankles).

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: First multi-hit game of season

    Chisholm went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Red Sox.

    Chisholm's two hits didn't bear any fruit, but it was notable since it snapped a 1-for-12 skid and was his first multi-hit game of the 2026 season. It only took him 23 team games to accomplish the feat. Chisholm has been dropped to seventh in the order in recent days and is slashing just .182/.276/.247 with zero home runs, three RBI, six runs scored, eight stolen bases and a 9:27 BB:K across 87 plate appearances.

  • White Sox's Luisangel Acuna: On bench Tuesday

    Acuna is not in the White Sox's lineup in Arizona on Tuesday.

    Acuna is getting a breather Tuesday after going 3-for-8 with an RBI, a walk and two stolen bases in the three-game series versus the Athletics over the weekend. While he begins the game on the bench Tuesday, Tristan Peters will start in center field and bat eighth.

  • Mariners' Brendan Donovan: Hoping for brief IL stint

    The Mariners are optimistic that Donovan (groin) will be able to avoid a lengthy stay on the 10-day injured list, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.

    Donovan landed on the 10-day injured list Monday after missing Seattle's previous two matchups due to the left groin injury. "It doesn't seem like it's going to be a longer-term situation," said manager Dan Wilson. "But again, we just kind of have to assess it as we go." Wilson also mentioned that Donovan's groin injury seems to be related to a sports hernia, which required surgery last October and forced him to miss the last month of the 2025 season while with St. Louis. "This is just something that we're going to take as cautiously as we can. It's early and we want to give him the best chance to get back and be 100%," noted Wilson. An official timetable for Donovan's return should come into focus after he starts to make progress in his rehab.

  • Andres Gimenez SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Not in Monday's lineup

    Gimenez is not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday.

    Monday marks the first time this season that Gimenez will not be in the lineup. The Angels are sending southpaw Reid Detmers to the mound, and with the lefty-hitting Gimenez opening the game on the bench, the Blue Jays have shifted Ernie Clement to shortstop and will start Lenyn Sosa at the keystone. Gimenez has started the 2026 season nicely, slashing .273/.305/.455 with four steals, three home runs and 12 RBI in 83 plate appearances.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Hits shelf with shoulder injury

    Kansas City placed India on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left shoulder subluxation.

    India hadn't started in any of the Royals' last three games, but it's not clear if his recent absences from the lineup were performance-related, a result of the injury or a combination of both. In any event, India won't be eligible for activation until April 29, clearing the way for Michael Massey to make regular starts at second base for at least the next week. The Royals should have more information regarding the severity of India's injury along with a potential timeline for his return in the coming days.
