Paredes went 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Giants.

Paredes is off to a frosty start at the dish for his new team, batting .150 (3-for-20) with two RBI in six outings after going 6-for-32 (.188) with one home run during spring training. The righty-hitting infielder's reputation as a pull hitter should eventually translate to more power, with the short porch in left field at Minute Maid Park playing to his strengths.

Smith started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Cincinnati.

For the second straight day, the Rangers made one run enough. On Tuesday, Wyatt Langford's solo home run was the difference, and Smith's fourth-inning, two-out double plated Joc Pederson for the game's lone run Wednesday. Smith made his second start at shortstop and likely would have had a third if not for a minor quadriceps injury. The Rangers appear to be managing Corey Seager early in the season; he's played five of seven games including one at DH. In addition to shortstop, Smith is getting run at third base while Josh Jung (neck) is on the injured list.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Baltimore.

Bregman is a quiet 6-for-26 (.231) with zero RBI or extra-base hits to begin his debut season in Boston, which is rather disappointing after he hit .279 with three home runs, three doubles and 10 RBI in 43 at-bats during spring training. Fantasy managers are still in anticipation of the star third baseman's first games this season at Fenway Park, where Bregman is batting a robust .375 (30-for-80) with seven long balls, nine doubles, 15 RBI and 24 runs scored in 21 games for his career at the ballpark.

Moore went 1-for-1 with two walks and a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Detroit.

Moore smacked an 87-mph slider off Tarik Skubal deep to right field for what was ultimately the game-deciding home run. Two of Moore's three starts have come at second base, and his versatility to serve in the infield and outfield should allow him to see at least semi-regular playing time in 2025.

Shaw went 2-for-4 with one walk, two runs and two RBI in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Athletics.

Both of the runs Shaw batted in Wednesday came on singles in the third and seventh frame in a blowout win. The 23-year-old third baseman has logged a hit in four of his last five games, and over that span he has gone 5-for-17 with four walks, five runs, one home run and three RBI.

Smith is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Giants.

Smith is off to a bit of a slow start at the plate, going 2-for-11 with a couple singles and four strikeouts. Zach Dezenzo is getting the call in right field for the Astros while Smith receives a breather.

Urshela is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Urshela will get some rest for the day game after he started in each of the last three games. Luis Urias will check in for Urshela at third base.

Caballero will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Caballero has logged six career innings in the outfield over his two-plus seasons in the big leagues, but he'll be making his first start at an outfield spot Wednesday. Though Caballero still seems to be viewed as a utility player, manager Kevin Cash could continue to explore ways to get the speedy 28-year-old in the lineup while he's putting good plate appearances together. Through three games, Caballero has gone 3-for-6 with three walks, one double, three RBI, one run and one stolen base.

Wagner is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.

The Blue Jays faced right-handers in each of the first six games of the season and the left-handed hitting Wagner was in the lineup for all of them. With the Nationals sending southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the hill, Wagner will take a seat. Ernie Clement is at third base for the Blue Jays, and George Springer is at designated hitter.

Garcia is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee.

Garcia didn't start Opening Day but had been in the lineup for each of the last four games before beginning this one on the bench. Jonathan India is covering third base for the Royals against Freddy Peralta and the Brewers.
