Baty is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Baty looked to be holding down the strong side of a platoon at second base with Luisangel Acuna while Jeff McNeil (oblique) is on the shelf, but Baty has now hit the bench in three of the Mets' last six matchups with right-handed pitchers. Manager Carlos Mendoza may just be looking to keep both young hitters involved while the Mets are in the midst of a long stretch of facing right-handers, but Baty hasn't helped his case for seeing the majority of the playing time at the keystone either. He enters Monday's contest having gone just 2-for-21 (.095 average) with no walks and eight strikeouts through the Mets' first nine games of the season.

The Pirates placed Triolo on the 10-day injured list Monday with a lumbar spine strain, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

The team had viewed Triolo as day-to-day, but the injury is apparently now considered significant enough to keep him out at least until mid-April. Triolo has started half of the Pirates' 10 games so far, bouncing around between second base, first base and third base. Tsung-Che Cheng was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace Triolo on the active roster.

Stovall was held back in extended spring training due to a hamstring injury and will be assigned to High-A Dayton when cleared, Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports.

Stovall is a bat-first second baseman that Cincinnati selected in the fourth round last year. He played briefly at Single-A after signing, and while he walked more than he struck out, he slugged .333 with zero home runs in 16 games.

Donovan went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, a run scored and a walk in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against Boston. He went 1-for-2 with a run scored in Game 1.

Donovan did not start the first game of the doubleheader but subbed in and collected a hit. He made a much bigger impact in Game 2, knocking RBI doubles in the first and ninth innings, though it wasn't enough to match Boston's 18-run outburst. Donovan has produced three multi-hit performances this season and is now slashing .333/.375/.556 with four extra-base hits and eight RBI through nine games.

Hoerner went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Padres. He also stole two bases.

Hoerner has been reaching base frequently these days, and when he gets on, he seems to have a green light to run. The infielder is 10-for-24 over his last six games with six stolen bases. Hoerner doesn't hit for much power, but he's been a positive contributor for fantasy managers in terms of batting average and steals.

Turang went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Reds.

Turang was able to launch a ground-rule double over the head of Gavin Lux in the bottom of the third inning, later coming around to score on a single from Christian Yelich. The second baseman also added a single and another run scored in the following frame. Turang now owns a 10-game hit streak to open the 2025 campaign, batting .325 with two home runs, six RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases to this point.

Triple-A Indianapolis placed Yorke on its 7-day injured list Friday due to right shoulder soreness, Dan Zagrilli of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh reports.

According to Pirates general manager Ben Cherington, the sore shoulder has been an issue for Yorke since late in spring training, and the organization wasn't keen on having him continuing playing while he was compromised. The shoulder issue had yet to cause a decline in his production early on in the season at Indianapolis, as Yorke went 5-for-15 with three doubles, two walks, two runs and one RBI through four games. Cherington anticipates Yorke being in line for a brief stay on the shelf.

Fitzgerald is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Mariners, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Fitzgerald has yet to find his footing at the plate this season and has gone 4-for-24 through seven games, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Christian Koss will step in at the keystone and bat ninth for the Giants.

The Pirates announced that Triolo was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Yankees due to low back discomfort.

The Pirates are viewing Triolo as day-to-day, but he could be a candidate to land on the injured list if he fails to make much meaningful progress by the middle of the week. Isiah Kiner-Falefa had been scheduled to receive a day off Sunday but was thrust into the lineup at shortstop as a result of Triolo's late scratch.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Farmer will take a seat for the series finale after manning second base in the previous two contests while going 4-for-8 with three doubles, one run and one RBI. Tyler Freeman will get the nod at the keystone Sunday, but Farmer still appears to be the Rockies' preferred option.
