McMahon is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

The Yankees are facing a righty in George Kirby, but the left-handed-hitting McMahon will nonetheless begin the game on the bench. Amed Rosario is at third base and batting seventh in Wednesday's series finale.

Smith went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Red Sox.

Smith took Jovani Moran deep in the seventh inning for his first home run of the season. Smith entered play Tuesday with just two hits in 21 trips to the plate, but he's now reached base five times over the last two games and has drawn five walks in six games this season after walking just 8.7 percent of the time in 2025. Smith is competing for at-bats with Jake Meyers, Joey Loperfido and Brice Matthews in the Houston outfield, but the Astros want Smith to take hold of right field.

Durbin is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Durbin is hitless through the first four contests of the season and will get a game to reset Tuesday in Houston. Andruw Monasterio will step in at the hot corner and bat sixth for Boston against Astros righty Hunter Brown.

Moncada is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Cubs.

Moncada homered in Monday's loss to the Cubs, but he'll receive his first day off of the season Tuesday as the Angels look to even the series. Jeimer Candelario will cover third base and bat fifth for the Halos.

Mayo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Mayo started at third base in each of the Orioles' first four games of the season, but he will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Blaze Alexander will start at the hot corner as Baltimore tries to even the series.

Paredes is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Paredes started the first five games of the season across three different positions, and he'll hit the bench Tuesday after going 4-for-19 with two walks, three doubles, four RBI and three runs scored. Yordan Alvarez will serve as the designated hitter while Joey Loperfido receives a start in left field.

Jung is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

The third baseman will get a day to rest after going 0-for-17 with seven strikeouts to open the campaign. Ezequiel Duran will start at third base in place of Jung on Tuesday as Texas goes up against Baltimore righty Zach Eflin.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over Baltimore.

Early on, Burger's powerful bat appears to be back after a regression in 2025, when he had a career-low .419 slugging percentage. The first baseman has hit safely and scored a run in all four games thus far, going 8-for-17 with three extra-base hits (two home runs) and six RBI.

Jung went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Monday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Jung is having a rough start to the regular season. After going 0-for-12 in the season-opening series in Philadelphia, the third basemen extended the futility in Baltimore to 17 at-bats without a hit. His hard-hit rate (30 percent) and average exit velocity (79.9 mph) are worrisome. It could be that he needs time after getting only 18 plate appearances in spring training due to an adductor issue.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI during Monday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.

Henderson clubbed his first home run of the season in the opening inning, sending a Jack Leiter pitch out of the yard to tie the game at one. Later, he tacked on an RBI single, but it wouldn't be enough for the Orioles to get the win. Even with Monday's success, it's still been a tough opening week for the 24-year-old as he's just 3-for-16 (.188 batting average) with seven strikeouts.
