Campbell started in center field and went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 16-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

Campbell's offense was the lone bright spot in an otherwise embarrassing night for the Red Sox. They committed one official error, but there were a couple of hits that could have been ruled errors and misplays in the field, including by Campbell, who made his third outfield start. The rookie is doing well offensively, posting a .972 OPS with four doubles, three home runs, six RBI, one steal and 11 runs through 17 games.

Donovan went 4-for-4 with a double, two runs and an RBI in Monday's 8-3 win over Houston.

The Astros were unable to get Donovan out Monday, as he reached base in all four of his trips to the plate. It was the fourth time this season that the utility man has gotten at least three hits in a game, and he's off to a hot start with the bat, logging a .391/.420/.563 slash line through 69 plate appearances. Donovan is also in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak, during which he's batted a scorching .513 (20-for-39) with eight RBI.

Fitzgerald went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a triple, and two additional runs scored in Monday's 10-4 win against the Phillies.

Fitzgerald cracked his first homer of the season off Taijuan Walker in the second inning, hitting it 369 feet to left field. However, the 27-year-old wasn't done, as he returned in the seventh to rope his first triple of the year. Fitzgerald is the primary San Francisco second baseman and has opened with a solid .286/.333/.476 slash line across 47 plate appearances.

Torres went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 9-1 win over the Brewers.

Torres walked and scored to start things off in the top of the first inning, then chipped in an RBI groundout and a two-RBI single later in the game. The infielder has only played in five contests so far, as he missed some time due to an oblique strain, but he's gotten at least one hit every time he's been in the lineup. Overall, Torres is batting .389 with a 1.032 OPS, and a big campaign could be in store if he stays healthy the rest of the way.

Rodgers (hip) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Rodgers will be on the bench for the fourth straight game while he contends with a sore left hip, paving the way for Mauricio Dubon to make his third start during that stretch. According to Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle, manager Joe Espada said that Rodgers was able to field some grounders Saturday, which suggests that the Astros are viewing the veteran infielder as day-to-day and remain optimistic that he'll avoid a trip to the injured list.

Keith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Milwaukee is starting lefty Tyler Alexander, so the lefty-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench. Spencer Torkelson will start at first base, and Justyn-Henry Malloy will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter.

Kim will travel with the Rays to the West Coast next week to get a checkup with Dr. Neal El Attrache, who performed his October right shoulder surgery, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Kim has been throwing while taking infield and doing other baseball activities and will be looked at by Dr. El Attrache to check his progress. The 29-year-old aims to make his season debut before the end of May, and it's possible a timetable for a rehab assignment will come into focus after next week's exam.

Baty is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Minnesota.

The Twins have right-hander Joe Ryan on the hill in the series opener, but the left-handed hitting Baty will nonetheless begin the contest on the bench. Baty is just 5-for-36 with a 15:0 K:BB for the Mets this season. Luisangel Acuna will occupy second base and hit ninth.

Triolo (back) will report to Triple-A Indianapolis to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

The 27-year-old infielder, who is recovering from a lumbar spine strain, has been cleared for game action in the minors after he was able to field grounders Monday without issue. Triolo is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, and while he appears unlikely to be activated on that day, he likely won't require much time beyond that before rejoining the Pirates.

Gorman will start at second base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Astros.

The left-handed hitting Gorman is making his second straight start at the keystone and his first start this season versus a left-handed pitcher in Framber Valdez. The Cardinals are going with another left-handed hitter in Brendan Donovan at shortstop, while the right-handed hitting Thomas Saggese will begin the contest on the bench.
