Vientos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

The 25-year-old appears to be shaking off his early-season slump. Vientos has hit safely in six straight games, batting .292 (7-for-24) over that stretch with two doubles, two homers, five runs and five RBI.

Norby isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Norby has gone 2-for-9 with four strikeouts through his first two games since returning from the injured list. The Marlins will give him a day to collect himself Saturday while Graham Pauley starts at the hot corner, batting eighth.

Ibanez went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-3 win over the Royals.

Ibanez launched his second home run of the season in the fourth inning, but he was then lifted for a pinch hitter in the fifth. The utility player is struggling a bit to begin the year with a .171 average and .627 OPS across 13 games. Ibanez can provide some fantasy value in spurts, though his role in Detroit comes with plenty of day-to-day volatility.

Suarez went 1-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 13-11 loss to the Cubs.

A quiet game for six innings busted out in the seventh and eighth innings, when the two teams combined to score 21 runs. Suarez hit a grand slam as part of Arizona's 10-run eighth inning. He'd gone 14 games (5-for-49) without a home run or RBI prior to Friday. Suarez is batting .153/.265/.444 with six homers and 15 RBI through 20 games.

Smith went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 6-4 win over the Padres.

Both long balls came off Kyle Hart, as Smith crushed a three-run blast in the second inning that left his bat at 107.8 mph before dropping a solo shot into the Crawford Boxes in the fourth. The 22-year-old rookie appears to be finding his footing in the majors, and since getting a couple days off to reset earlier in April, he's batting .290 (9-for-31) over the last nine games with all three of his big-league homers and 10 RBI.

Candelario went 1-for-5 with a solo homer in Friday's 8-3 win over Baltimore.

Candelario gave the Reds a three-run lead in the fourth inning when he took a 91-mph fastball from Cade Povich deep to center field for a solo shot. Candelario has a .447 OPS across 74 plate appearances this season, but Friday's homer may be a sign of things to come for the 31-year-old.

Wagaman went 1-for-3 with one walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to Philadelphia.

Wagaman struck out in each of his first two at-bats, but he registered his second home run of the season when he took Zack Wheeler deep to left-center field for a 427-foot, two-run moonshot. Wagaman is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 8-for-18 with two walks, five runs scored, one home run and four RBI.

The Angels designated Lopez for assignment Friday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Lopez signed a major-league contract with the Angels in late March, but he's appeared in just six games for the Halos while going 0-for-6 at the plate. If he goes unclaimed off waivers or isn't traded, Lopez will have the option of remaining in the organization in Triple-A or exploring other opportunities by entering free agency. Zach Neto (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

LeMahieu (calf) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

LeMahieu has been playing in extended spring training contests and is ready to test things out in a formal game setting. He will require a lengthy rehab assignment, perhaps needing the full 20-day allotment. Oswaldo Cabrera has been serving as the Yankees' primary third baseman with LeMahieu out and there's no guarantee that LeMahieu will be handed regular playing time upon his return.

Smith (thumb) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

It's the fourth straight absence from the lineup for Smith as he continues to manage a bruised thumb. There's been no indication that the 27-year-old will require a trip to the injured list, but it may be considered given how much time he's already missed. Dustin Harris is receiving another start in left field for the Rangers.
