Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over Toronto.

The infielder followed up a three-game homer streak in mid-April with a 3-for-24 skid with no extra-base hits, but he got back on track Tuesday with a seventh-inning shot to give the Astros a late insurance run. Through his first 100 plate appearances, Paredes is slashing .233/.340/.384 with four long balls, one double, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored. As long as he maintains a spot in the heart of Houston's lineup, Paredes should have plenty of RBI chances going forward.

Bregman went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Mariners.

Bregman gave the Red Sox the lead in the third inning with an RBI single, and he followed that up with a two-run double in the fifth frame to give Boston a 4-1 advantage. The 31-year-old third baseman has had a productive start to his Red Sox tenure and is slashing .302/.376/.521 with one stolen base, 15 runs scored, four home runs and 19 RBI in 96 plate appearances this season.

Rengifo isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates after getting a root canal Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rengifo has been cleared to play and may still be available off the bench Tuesday, though the Angels may look to give him a day off after going 1-for-12 against the Giants over the weekend. Kevin Newman will take over at third base and bat ninth Tuesday.

Vargas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Vargas started the previous three games and will head to the bench Tuesday while in the midst of a 4-for-40 slump. Bobby Dalbec will receive a start at third base and bat eighth in the series opener.

Lewis (hamstring) did some sprints Monday and ran the bases again Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Lewis is coming along well in his recovery from a left hamstring strain and would appear close to a rehab assignment, although the Twins haven't revealed a timetable for that yet. He's been sidelined since mid-March, so Lewis will likely require more than just a few rehab games.

Williamson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

The 24-year-old has a .217/.250/.391 slash line in six games since being promoted by the Mariners on April 13, and he'll hit the bench Tuesday after starting the previous three contests. Miles Mastrobuoni will receive the start at third base in place of Williamson.

Vientos (groin) is starting at third base and batting cleanup Tuesday against the Phillies.

Vientos sat out the past two contests after exiting Saturday's game due to groin discomfort, but he's ready to rejoin the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup with Philadelphia. The 25-year-old went 0-for-2 during Saturday's contest, which broke a modest six-game hit streak during which he had an .945 OPS.

Moncada (thumb) has been able to swing right-handed and field grounders, per MLB.com.

Moncada landed on the 10-day IL due to a right thumb sprain April 10, so he's already eligible to be activated. It's not clear when the switch hitter will be able to resume swinging left-handed, but he at least appears to be making progress in his recovery. Moncada could return to the Angels before the end of April, but an early-May return is probably more likely.

Durbin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Giants on Monday.

Durbin accounted for both of Milwaukee's runs in the contest with his two-run shot to left-center in the second inning. The rookie third baseman showed the ability to hit for a bit of power with 10 homers in 82 games in Triple-A last season, though speed is likely to be his calling card in the majors. Durbin has one theft to his name as a big-leaguer so far and has gone 3-for-15 through four contests.

Riley went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a walk in a 7-6 win against St. Louis on Monday.

Riley put Atlanta on the board and knotted the score at 2-2 with his two-run blast in the third inning. The long ball helped snap a mini-slump for Riley that included a 2-for-17 mark and just one RBI with nine strikeouts over his previous four games. The veteran third baseman has hit well overall so far in 2025, though, slashing .278/.316/.522 with six homers, 15 RBI and 12 runs over 95 plate appearances.
