  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Hitting bench Sunday

    Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Hayes will give way to Eugenio Suarez at third base in the series finale after he started in the Reds' first two games of the season while going 0-for-7 with a run scored. While Hayes has produced at well-below-league-average levels at the plate each of the past two seasons, his exceptional defense at the hot corner should keep him in the lineup more often than not.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Third straight start to begin 2026

    Mayo will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Twins.

    With Jordan Westburg (elbow) opening the season on the injured list and expected to remain out into May, Mayo has begun the campaign as the everyday third baseman. He'll make his third straight start after going 0-for-5 with two walks and a stolen base in the first two contests. Mayo could eventually face competition for playing time from Blaze Alexander and Jeremiah Jackson, who have split time at the keystone while Jackson Holliday (hand) has been on the IL.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Enters franchise record book again

    Ramirez went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Seattle.

    Ramirez added his name to the franchise record book again. His sixth-inning double plated the Guardians' first run and was the 400th of his career, making him the third player in franchise history to amass that many doubles. In 2025, he set the franchise record for career extra-base hits and multi-home run games. Thus far in 2026, Ramirez is 2-for-14 with two doubles and three RBI over the first three games.

  • TJ Rumfield 3B | COL

    Rockies' T.J. Rumfield: Hits first career homer

    Rumfield went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

    Rumfield opened the scoring with a 423-foot blast off Eury Perez in the second inning. The rookie has now recorded a hit in each of his first two major-league games after slashing an impressive .286/.359/.554 over 64 plate appearances this spring. He offers some sleeper appeal with Coors Field as his home venue.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Another home run in victory

    Burger went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.

    Burger had a big spring training and has carried it over to start the regular season. After homering in Thursday's season-opening 5-3 loss, Burger again went deep Saturday, taking a knuckle curve from Aaron Nola over the fence in the top of the third inning. Burger later added a single in the eighth inning. Through two games, Burger has gone 5-for-9 at the plate with two home runs and four RBI, though he's also struck out four times and committed two errors already.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Goes deep in Saturday's win

    Lewis went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.

    Lewis hit eighth in the order for the second straight game to open the season, but he provided the big hit for the Twins, driving a Kyle Bradish sinker over the left-field wall to give Minnesota a 3-1 lead in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old's potential run production could be a bit limited at the bottom of the order, but he'll likely move his way up if he can stay healthy and productive.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Curtis Mead: Shipped to D.C.

    The Nationals acquired Mead from the White Sox on Saturday in exchange for catcher Boston Smith.

    After being designated for assignment by the White Sox on Wednesday, Mead will regain a spot on the 40-man roster in a new organization. The 25-year-old infielder has slashed just .238/.300/.317 across 445 plate appearances in his MLB career, but he posted a .908 OPS at the Triple-A level last season and isn't far removed from a being a top prospect in the Rays system. Mead has no minor-league options remaining, so Washington will need to open up room for him on its 26-man active roster.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Marte isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    Marte struck out in both of his first two at-bats during Thursday's loss before being lifted for a pinch hitter. He'll now stay put in the Reds' dugout to begin Saturday's contest while Will Benson starts in right field, batting seventh.

  • Marlins' Deyvison De Los Santos: Officially promoted

    The Marlins recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

    With Christopher Morel (oblique) headed for the IL, De Los Santos will come up from the minors for his MLB debut and could take over as Miami's primary first baseman, though the Marlins may also continue to start Connor Norby at first. The 22-year-old De Los Santos slashed .240/.309/.356 with 11 homers, 52 RBI and 53 runs scored with Jacksonville last year but started 2026 on the right track, going 2-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in the Triple-A opener.

  • Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Resting Saturday

    Chaparro isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    Chaparro went 2-for-3 with a run scored en route to a win in Thursday's season opener, but he'll cede his place in the lineup Saturday to Jose Tena, who will bat eighth while serving as the DH.
