Dylan Moore 2B | TEX
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Absent from lineup
Moore is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Toronto.
Moore is coming off a monster series against the Reds, having gone 7-for-12 with two home runs and two stolen bases. Despite that, he will begin the series opener versus the Blue Jays on the bench. Miles Mastrobuoni will start at second base and hit seventh for the Mariners.

Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Back in big leagues
The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Pauley was just sent down Thursday but returns to take the roster spot of the injured Derek Hill (wrist). With Connor Norby back in action at third base, Pauley's playing time with the Marlins will likely be limited.

Connor Norby 2B | MIA
Marlins' Connor Norby: One hit, two Ks in season debut
Norby went 1-for-5 in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
Seeing his first MLB game action of the year after beginning the season on the IL due to an oblique strain, Norby struck out twice but did bang a single into left field in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old third baseman hit second Thursday against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez, and he's likely to have a prominent spot in the order against right-handers as well as the Marlins search for offense. Norby slashed .247/.315/.445 with seven homers over 36 games for Miami last season after being acquired from Baltimore.

Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA
Angels' Luis Rengifo: Quiet start in 2025
Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in Thursday's loss to the Rangers.
Rengifo singled on a line drive to plate a pair of runs in the fifth inning Thursday and now has a hit in six of his past seven games. The veteran infielder entered the season with a .754 OPS across the previous three years, but he's struggled to get his bat going early in 2025. Through 66 at-bats (18 games), Rengifo is hitting .242 with one home run, five doubles, seven RBI and eight runs scored.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Power surge continues vs. Yankees
Caminero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.
Caminero belted his fifth long ball of the young season in the third inning, pushing the Rays in front 3-1. The former top prospect has left the yard in four of his last six games, and he's slashing a promising .288/.324/.545 with two doubles, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored through his first 71 plate appearances of the campaign.

Oswaldo Cabrera LF | NYY
Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Smashes first homer Thursday
Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Rays.
Cabrera took Rays right-hander Taj Bradley deep in the fifth inning for the switch-hitter's first homer of the year. Although he's batting a strong .308 over 39 at-bats (13 games) to begin the season, Cabrera now has just one extra-base hit to go with zero stolen bases, so he doesn't carry much fantasy upside while regularly batting at the bottom of New York's lineup.

Mark Vientos DH | NYM
Mets' Mark Vientos: Goes yard for first time in 2025
Vientos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.
It was a much-needed first homer of the year for Vientos, who took Cardinals right-hander Andre Pallante yard to open the scoring Thursday in the second inning. Vientos is slashing a dismal .152/.253/.258 with four doubles, five RBI and six runs scored through 66 at-bats (18 games), but fantasy managers should try to stay patient with the slugging corner infielder. As long as Vientos is hitting in the heart of New York's star-studded lineup, he should see plenty of RBI opportunities going forward.
