Jose Caballero 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jose Caballero: Getting rest day Wednesday
Caballero is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Athletics.
Caballero started each of the first 10 games this season at shortstop, but he'll get some rest Wednesday. Ryan McMahon is making his first-ever professional start at shortstop, while Amed Rosario will handle third base for the Yankees.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Sitting against southpaw again
Schneemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
With the Royals sending a second consecutive lefty starter (Cole Ragans) to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Schneemann will remain out of the lineup for another day. Schneemann could still have a clear path to making regular starts in the middle infield against right-handed pitching following Gabriel Arias' (hamstring) recent placement on the injured list.

Brendan Donovan 2B | SEA
Mariners' Brendan Donovan: Belts leadoff homer Tuesday
Donovan went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk during the Mariners' 3-2 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.
Donovan wasted no time getting the Mariners on the board, taking the first pitch of the game from Nathan Eovaldi deep to right field for a solo shot. It was Donovan's third home run of the season, and he appears to be past the groin injury that caused him to miss the Mariners' final two games of the weekend series against the Angels. He has gone 12-for-35 (.343) with a steal and five RBI to open the season.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Enters as pinch runner
Schneemann entered Monday's game as a pinch runner and remained in the game at second base. He went 0-for-1 in his lone plate appearance.
Schneemann ran for Gabriel Arias (hamstring), who was removed after legging out a two-out, fifth-inning double. Schneemann was stranded on the bases and remained in the game to play second base, while Brayan Rocchio moved from second to shortstop. Arias is expected to miss Tuesday's game and could need more time, which would provide a boost in playing time for Schneemann, who is batting .185 over 27 at-bats.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
Royals' Jonathan India: Drives in three in win
India went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Monday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.
India had the biggest swing of the game Monday, knocking in two big insurance runs in the eighth inning with a home run. It was a part of the third multi-hit game of the season for the 29-year-old, who is slashing .250/.344/.464 with two homers, three walks, seven strikeouts and eight RBI on the season. With his two home runs in nine games, India is on pace to shatter the nine home runs he had in 136 games in 2025.

Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN
Twins' Luke Keaschall: Drives first homer of campaign
Keaschall went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Monday's win over the Tigers.
Keaschall provided the Twins with a lead they wouldn't relinquish, launching his first homer of the campaign in the bottom of the fourth inning by turning on a Casey Mize fastball and sending it into the left-field bleachers. It's been a slow start to the year for the second baseman, who entered Monday's contest slashing .222/.256/.250 through nine games. After posting an .827 OPS across 49 games as a rookie in 2025, Keaschall entered 2026 with moderately high expectations and will look to find his stride moving forward.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Displays impressive eye Monday
Torres went 0-for-2 with three walks and a run scored in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Twins.
Torres managed to have a solid fantasy performance without getting a hit as he displayed his strong eye at the plate. The veteran infielder posted a 13.8 percent walk rate in 2025, which was nearly four points higher than the year before, and he's hovering around 28 percent so far this season. If Torres can keep getting on base at a good clip, he should be able to rack up plenty of runs batting ahead of the likes of Kerry Carpenter, Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson.

Jordan Westburg 2B | BAL
Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Starting throwing progression
Westburg (elbow) will begin a throwing progression this week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
It's a major step for the infielder, but there remains no timetable for Westburg's return from a right UCL sprain. He is already on the 60-day injured list and thus not eligible for activation until late May. Coby Mayo has been filling in as the Orioles' third baseman and will continue to do so while Westburg is shelved.

Brendan Donovan 2B | SEA
Mariners' Brendan Donovan: Rejoining lineup Monday
Donovan (groin) will start at third base and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Rangers.
Donovan was held out of the lineup for the final two games of the Mariners' weekend series versus the Angels due to a left groin injury, but a couple days of rest appears to be all he needed to move past the issue. Leo Rivas had manned third base Saturday and Sunday but will slide back over to shortstop while Donovan slots back in at the hot corner.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Absent from lineup
Schneemann is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
Schneemann has served in a super utility role for the Guardians this season but will take a seat in the series opener versus Kansas City. Steven Kwan will slide over to center field and CJ Kayfus will get the call in left field.
