Edman (ankle) took on-field batting practice Saturday and is progressing well, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Edman is currently on the 10-day IL as he works his way back from the right ankle surgery he underwent in mid-November. Manager Dave Roberts had previously said the infielder/outfielder is likely to return in late May, though he indicated Saturday that there is a possibility Edman will be back sooner. When he does get back in action, Edman is slated to spend most of his time at second base, where he could start frequently.

Gimenez went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's extra-innings win over the A's.

The 27-year-old has come flying out of the gate this season, going 6-for-8 in two games with a triple, a steal and four RBI. Gimenez is shifting over to shortstop on a full-time basis this season after mainly playing second base during his big-league career so far -- the last time he saw more action at the six was in 2021 with Cleveland. Gimenez won't stay that hot at the plate for long, but he should have no trouble improving on last year's .598 OPS if he stays healthy.

Arraez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Yankees.

Arraez hit third Saturday after being deployed in the leadoff spot during San Francisco's first two games. The 28-year-old infielder singled in the first inning, advanced to second and then stole third. He also singled in the eighth for his first multi-hit effort of the season. Through three games, Arraez is 3-for-11 with a walk, a strikeout and a stolen base.

Acuna is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

The 24-year-old picked up starts in center field and shortstop in the first two games of the season, going 1-for-7 at the dish. With former Mets teammate Brandon Sproat on the mound for Milwaukee, Acuna will cede his spot in the lineup Sunday to Tristan Peters, who will draw the start in center field and bat ninth.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Despite slugging a team-high 22 home runs in 2025, Sosa's path to an everyday role got cloudier over the winter following the additions of Munetaka Murakami and Austin Hays. The White Sox have opened the season with matchups against three straight right-handed starting pitchers, and Sosa has been on the bench to begin two of those games, going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts when he has gotten into the lineup.

Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Julien served as the Rockies' designated hitter in the first two games of the season, going 1-for-5 with a double. Though he should have a fairly clear path to at-bats while Mickey Moniak (finger) is on the shelf, Julien will be the odd man out of the lineup Sunday. Hunter Goodman will get a day off from catching but stick in the starting nine at DH.

McNeil is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

McNeil went 1-for-7 with a walk, a stolen base and a run while starting the first two games of the season, but he'll hit the bench Sunday against lefty Eric Lauer. Darell Hernaiz will instead start at the keystone in the series finale.

Stott is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

After going 2-for-6 with a walk and a stolen base while starting in the Phillies' first two contests of the season, the left-handed-hitting Stott will hit the bench while the Rangers send southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the bump. Edmundo Sosa will fill in for Stott at the keystone.

Gorman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rays.

The left-handed-hitting Gorman was in the five spot in the lineup versus righties in each of the first two games of the season, but he'll sit out Sunday as the Cardinals go up against southpaw Steven Matz. Ramon Urias is at third base and batting sixth for St. Louis. Gorman has gone 2-for-8 with three RBI in the first two tilts of the season.

India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Nick Loftin will step in at the keystone in place of India, who will rest after going 0-for-7 with a walk and three strikeouts while starting in both of the Royals' first two games of the season.
