  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Getting day off

    Henderson is not in the Orioles' lineup for Monday's game versus the Red Sox, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Henderson has scuffled against both righties and lefties this season, but his struggles versus southpaws has been more pronounced with a .489 OPS. He'll take a seat Monday with the Red Sox throwing left-hander Chris Sale. Ramon Urias will be at third base and Adam Frazier will get a start at second base versus a lefty.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Three hits Sunday

    LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 5-1 loss against the Blue Jays.

    LeMahieu was the lone Yankee to record multiple hits in the 5-1 loss. The 34-year-old infielder has gotten off to a solid start this season, slashing .281/.361/.500 with two homers, eight RBI and 12 runs scored through his first 72 plate appearances. LeMahieu still offers solid fantasy value while hitting in the middle of the Yankees lineup.

  • Jose Miranda 3B | MIN

    Twins' Jose Miranda: On base thrice in win

    Mirando went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Twins.

    Miranda found himself on base in the second, third, fifth and eighth inning, although his last time getting on was due to a fielder's choice. He came across to put the Twins up 3-1 in the fifth after walking in the inning. The 24-year-old has begun to turn things around at the plate, tallying seven hits over his last five games after he had just 14 total over his first 17 games. Miranda has yet to leave the yard thus far, and hopefully his recent surge is a sign of better things to come.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Drives in four

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

    Ramirez gave the Guardians the lead with a two-run blast in the third inning before driving in another two runs with a sacrifice fly and an RBI double. The switch-hitting third baseman is slashing .267/.350/.477 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 11 runs scored and four stolen bases through his first 100 plate appearances this season.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Clutch hitting Saturday

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

    The veteran slugger drove home Kolten Wong and J.P. Crawford with a two-out single in the seventh inning that snapped a 3-3 tie and wound up being the difference in the game. The timely knock pushed Suarez's RBI total to a team-leading 15, and he's now hitting .360 across 32 plate appearances with runners in scoring position this season.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Gets breather against Royals

    Rendon is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Royals, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Rendon will take a seat after going 0-for-7 in the first two games of the series against Kansas City. Gio Urshela is at third base and hitting sixth in his place.

  • Tyler Nevin 3B | ATH

    Tigers' Tyler Nevin: Late addition to lineup

    Nevin is starting at third base and batting seventh Sunday against the Orioles.

    The 25-year-old was originally absent from Sunday's lineup, but he was added to the starting nine after Javier Baez (finger) was scratched. Nevin has yet to find much success in his first five big-league games of the season, going 1-for-13 with an RBI and two walks.

  • Tyler Nevin 3B | ATH

    Tigers' Tyler Nevin: Sitting Sunday

    Nevin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    He'll cede his spot in the lineup to Zach McKinstry, who will be rewarded with a start at third base after slugging a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss. Though a regular spot in the starting nine is there for the taking for Nevin while a punchless Tigers offense has now failed to score more than four runs in five straight games, the 25-year-old remains part of the team's wholesale issues at the plate. Through five games with the big club, Nevin is hitting .077 with five strikeouts in 17 plate appearances.

  • Tyler Freeman RF | COL

    Guardians' Tyler Freeman: Heads back to Triple-A

    Cleveland optioned Freeman to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    The move opens up a spot on the 26-man roster for lefty Logan Allen, who was called up from Triple-A ahead of his scheduled start Sunday versus the Marlins. Freeman went 2-for-7 at the dish in his brief cup of coffee with the Guardians and will return to regular playing time as he heads back to the International League.

  • Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Handling near-everyday role

    Peraza will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Since being recalled up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last weekend, Peraza has essentially settled into the near-everyday role in the Yankees infield that Josh Donaldson (hamstring) had been filling prior to landing on the 10-day injured list. Peraza has started at either second or third base in five of the past six games and is getting on base at a .438 clip while scoring three runs and adding a stolen base since receiving the call to the majors.
