Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Gets day off Tuesday
Henderson isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
After recording his first two hits of the season Monday, including a home run off Jon Gray, Henderson will get a day off Tuesday against fellow lefty Andrew Heaney. His absence from the lineup moves Ramon Urias to third base, Anthony Santander into the designated hitter role and allows Ryan McKenna to play in left field and bat ninth.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Out with shoulder strain
Gelof is on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Las Vegas with a left shoulder strain and is expected to return this month, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.
Lockard had a tweet from March 31 where she said Gelof would return in a week, so he shouldn't miss much time at all to start the season. Gelof, who has a chance to be Oakland's second baseman of the future, could reach the majors this summer if he handles Triple-A pitching.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN
Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Drives in two Monday
Suarez went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run-scoring double in a loss to the Angels on Monday.
The hot-hitting third baseman delivered his second straight multi-hit effort and his second and third RBI of the young season with his timely knocks. Suarez's encouraging 6-for-20 start at plate now includes a trio of extra-base hits, all two-baggers.

Rafael Devers 3B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Swats first home run
Devers went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Pirates.
Devers hit his first home run of the season -- the first of three first-inning home runs -- but Boston pitching squandered an early advantage. Thus far, it's looking like Red Sox bats will carry the team, as only one starter has pitched into the fifth inning. Devers has done his part, hitting safely in all four games (8-for-19) with three extra-base hits, five runs scored and two RBI.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Rays' Isaac Paredes: Slugs first homer of 2023
Paredes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 6-2 win against Washington on Monday.
Paredes recorded his first homer of the campaign in the fourth inning, swatting a 404-foot solo shot to left field. He added a leadoff single in the ninth and came around to score Tampa Bay's final run of the contest. Paredes has gotten at least one hit in three of his four contests so far this season and is slashing .308/.308/.538 with three runs and a pair of RBI.

Jace Peterson SS | ARI
Athletics' Jace Peterson: Blasts first homer
Peterson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians on Monday.
Peterson's 401-foot shot to right center in the second inning extended Oakland's lead to 6-2 at the time and served as his first time leaving the yard in an A's uniform. Monday was only Peterson's second start over the first four games of the season, but he should continue to see plenty of opportunity against right-handed pitching.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Reaches base four times
Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored, two RBI, a steal and a walk in Monday's win against the Athletics.
Ramirez did most of his damage in the eighth inning by scoring a run after smacking an RBI triple. He later singled in a run and swiped second base in the 10th. It was his first multi-hit game of the year after tallying exactly one hit in each of the first four contests. Ramirez has gone 7-for-22 with two steals and three extra-base hits.

Astros' Alex Bregman: Ends slump
Bregman went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Monday's loss to Detroit.
After an 0-for-16 start to his 2023 campaign, Bregman finally looked like himself with a three-hit day. All three hits were singles, though two of them were ripped over 98 mph off the bat. Bregman is now 3-for-21 with two walks and seven strikeouts.

Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Goes deep in win
Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win against Texas.
The star rookie's solo shot in the fourth inning against Jon Gray proved to be the only offense the Orioles needed. Henderson snapped an 0-for-8 skid to begin his 2023 campaign with Monday's multi-hit performance. He also struck out twice, bringing his season K:BB to 6:6.
