  • Will Wagner 2B | SD

    Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Absent from lineup

    Wagner is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus Atlanta.

    It's the first time this season that Wagner is not in the lineup against a right-handed pitcher. Ernie Clement will handle third base and bat fifth versus Atlanta hurler Grant Holmes.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Nationals' Amed Rosario: Taking seat Monday

    Rosario is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

    After CJ Abrams (hip) was placed on the injured list Saturday, Rosario picked up starts at third base in both of the Nationals' ensuing two games, with Paul DeJong shifting over to Abrams' spot at shortstop in both contests. DeJong will remain in the lineup Monday, but he'll be back at third base while Nasim Nunez picks up a start at shortstop. Rosario still likely stands to benefit the most from Abrams' absence, as the Nationals will presumably look to find ways to keep the 29-year-old's bat in the lineup while he's produced an .816 OPS through his first 30 plate appearances of the season.

  • Eric Wagaman 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Eric Wagaman: On base five times in win

    Wagaman went 3-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

    The 27-year-old infielder had gone 2-for-20 to begin April before Sunday's big performance. Wagaman has mainly split his time between first base and DH so far with the Marlins, slashing .231/.318/.359 through 44 plate appearances with a homer, three RBI and a 5:4 BB:K.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Homers in win

    Caminero went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

    Caminero's three run-homer in the sixth inning was his second long ball in as many days. The 21-year-old is off to a solid start at the plate, slashing .280/.315/.500 with three long balls, seven RBI and nine runs scored across 54 plate appearances. He also leads the majors in average bat speed, clocking in at an impressive 78.6 mph in the early going.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Homers in third straight game

    Paredes went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over the Angels.

    Paredes took Kyle Hendricks deep to cap off a five-run second inning. It was Paredes' third straight game with a home run after a 12-game drought to begin the year. He owns a .276/.382/.448 slash line with four extra-base hits and nine RBI through 68 plate appearances.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Swipes two bags in win

    Caballero went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, one run scored and two steals in Sunday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

    Caballero was a thorn in Atlanta's side throughout the game, driving in a run in the first inning, scoring in the fourth and notching his first multi-steal effort of the season. The 28-year-old is off to a hot start in 2025, slashing .333/.455/.556 with a home run, eight RBI, three runs scored and five steals across 33 plate appearances.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Filling in at first base

    Candelario started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

    Candelario made a second straight start at first base with Christian Encarnacion-Strand unavailable due to back and hamstring injuries. However, Candelario is 1-for-25 over the last seven games.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: In starting nine again

    Marte started at third base and went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

    Marte walked and recorded his first steal of the season in the fifth inning before coming home to score on a force-out. He made a second consecutive start, as Jeimer Candelario was needed at first base with Christian Encarnacion-Strand nursing back and hamstring injuries.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Collects three hits

    Garcia went 3-for-4 with a two-run double in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

    Garcia singled twice, but his most important hit was a go-ahead two-run double in the fifth inning. It was his first extra-base knock since April 4 and his fourth multi-hit performance of the season. Garcia is now slashing .300/.321/.500 with six extra-base hits and nine RBI through 15 games.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Four hits, stolen base in win

    Clement went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Orioles.

    Clement snapped out of a 1-for-22 slump to open April with a breakout performance Sunday, also notching his first stolen base of the season. The 29-year-old has appeared in 15 of the Blue Jays' 16 games this season, but he's hitting a disappointing .194 with four RBI, three runs scored and a steal across 42 plate appearances.
