Phillies' Bryson Stott: Sitting versus southpaw
Stott is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rockies.

Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Inks eight-year contract extension
The Red Sox signed Campbell to an eight-year, $60 million contract extension Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe relays that the extension contains an $19 million club option for 2033 and a $21 million club option for 2034, so the total value of the deal could reach an even $100 million. The Red Sox locked up Garrett Crochet on a long-term contract earlier this week and now have signed one of their young position players to a contract extension. Campbell, 22, is off to a great start in his major-league career, going 6-for-16 with one home run and a 5:4 K:BB through five games.

Giants' Christian Koss: Makes MLB debut Tuesday
Koss went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Astros.
Koss drew the start at second base during his big-league debut. The 27-year-old reached first on a walk in the third frame and displayed his speed by scoring from first on a two-run double by Willy Adames. Koss is expected to operate as a utility infielder for the Giants this season, though he's a candidate to receive playing time in the outfield as well, per Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Amed Rosario 3B | NYY
Nationals' Amed Rosario: Batting second vs. lefty
Rosario will start at second base and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
The Nationals are facing a lefty (Easton Lucas) for the second time in six games this season, and Rosario has now filled in at second base for the left-handed-hitting Luis Garcia on both occasions. Rosario batted sixth in his first start Saturday versus the Phillies, but after going 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs in that contest, he'll move up to a more prominent spot in the batting order in his second start.

Nationals' Luis Garcia: Out Wednesday versus left-hander
Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Toronto.
Southpaw Easton Lucas is on the hill for the Blue Jays, so Garcia will grab a seat in favor of Amed Rosario, who will start at second base and bat second. Garcia has been out of the lineup both times the Nationals have faced a lefty in the early going this season.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | TOR
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Snaps skid at plate
Sosa went 3-for-4 with a double Tuesday against the Twins.
Sosa made an early impression by slugging a home run on Opening Day. However, he was hitless across his last eight plate appearances entering Tuesday's action, and he now has four hits across 16 at-bats for the season. Sosa has started four of five games at second base with Josh Rojas (toe) sidelined.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Homers again in three-hit evening
Lowe went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk, three RBI and two runs in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.
Lowe buoyed the Rays with a two-run blast in the fourth and added another RBI with a base knock in the eighth. He's enjoyed a productive homestand to open up the 2025 season and is the team leader in hits (seven), RBI (five) and home runs (two) through the first five games of the year.

Luis Rengifo LF | SD
Angels' Luis Rengifo: Productive night at plate Tuesday
Rengifo went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-inning win over St. Louis.
Rengifo doubled to plate Tim Anderson and get the Angels on the board in the second inning of Tuesday's high-scoring affair. Although Rengifo is batting just .211 through 19 at-bats to begin the season, it's encouraging to see the utility man healthy after missing time during spring training with a hamstring injury.
