Schneemann went 1-for-2 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Schneemann launched a three-run homer in the fourth inning after the Dodgers raced to an early 4-0 lead. Despite that early success, Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt pinch hit for Schneemann against a lefty in the seventh, limiting him to two plate appearances. He has just 16 at-bats against southpaws in 2025. Schneemann blipped on the fantasy radar in early May but had gone quiet prior to Tuesday's three-run homer. He entered the game batting .175 (7-for-40) with one extra-base hit, one RBI and three runs over 13 games.

McLain entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 with an RBI in a 7-2 win over the Royals.

McLain took a seat on the bench to open the game while Gavin Lux filled in at second base. McLain eventually pitch hit for Lux against a lefty, contributing a run-scoring groundout in the eighth inning, and then finished the game at the keystone. McLain's navigated an early-season slump but entered Tuesday's contest on a modest four-game hit streak (5-for-17).

Lawlar started at second base in place of Ketel Marte (illness) and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to Pittsburgh.

Lawlar has now gone hitless with eight strikeouts in his 18 plate appearances since being called up from Triple-A Reno on May 12. He's had a tough go of it against off-speed offerings, particularly sliders, in a small sample size. The lack of steady playing time could be making it difficult for Lawlar to make adjustments, though he could get the chance to make a couple more starts if Marte's illness lingers for a few more days.

Sosa (wrist) went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Atlanta.

Sosa didn't appear in either of Philadelphia's last two games due to a left wrist issue, but he returned to action as a substitute for the injured Bryce Harper (elbow) in the first inning and appears to be fully healthy. The Phillies moved Alec Bohm to first base Tuesday, which could allow Sosa to see more playing time at the hot corner if Harper needs to miss some time. Over 68 at-bats (26 games) this season, Sosa is batting .338 with one home run, five doubles, 12 RBI and 10 runs scored.

Moore went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Monday's 9-1 win over the Nationals.

Moore went 0-for-10 over his previous three games before breaking the short slump in a big way Tuesday. The utility player has posted three multi-hit efforts over 18 games in May. For the season, he's hitting .272 with an .827 OPS, eight home runs, eight stolen bases, 16 RBI, 21 runs scored and four doubles over 41 contests. He is seeing a majority of his playing time at second base but can fill in all around the diamond.

Marte isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Pittsburgh due to an illness, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Marte is slashing .263/.366/.600 with eight homers, 12 RBI and 17 runs scored since the start of May, but he'll have to miss Tuesday's contest while he battles the flu. Jordan Lawlar will get the nod at the keystone instead and could continue to start at second if Marte has to miss any additional games.

Lopez is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Padres on Tuesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Lopez will begin Tuesday's game in the dugout while Ronny Simon starts at second base and bats seventh. Lopez has gone 5-for-26 with two steals, one home run and four RBI in seven games since being activated from the 10-day injured list May 18.

Marte is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Marte made his 13th consecutive start Monday, and he went 2-for-4 with a RBI. While he will begin Tuesday's game on the bench, the 31-year-old has appeared in all but one game since returning from the injured list May 2. Jordan Lawlar will start at second base and is batting ninth Tuesday.

Donovan was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Baltimore due to hip tightness, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Donovan was penciled in at second base Tuesday, per usual, but the hip issue will instead end a run of 29 straight starts. The 28-year-old, who has a .328/.390/.463 slash line through 52 games this year, is expected to rejoin the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale versus the Orioles. Jordan Walker is replacing Donovan in the lineup with Nolan Gorman shifting to second base.

Gelof (ribs) was cleared to begin a hitting progression Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Gelof has yet to make his 2025 debut with the Athletics after needing surgery in March to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right wrist and then suffering a stress reaction in his ribs earlier this month following a three-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas. The rib issue is considered the greater concern at this point, but Gelof took a step in the right direction over the weekend by resuming baseball activities. The 25-year-old is limited to dry swinging for the time being and will eventually need to face live pitching in batting practice before the Athletics map out a new rehab assignment for him. He's without a clear timeline to return from the 60-day injured list.
