Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Day off Tuesday
Bohm isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Bohm has gone 6-for-18 with four RBI and a run scored over Philadelphia's last four games, but he'll step out of the lineup for a day, opening up third base for Edmundo Sosa.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Banged up
Manager Skip Schumaker said that Jung, who is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, is "a little banged up," Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
It's unclear when the issue first surfaced for Jung, but he finds himself on the bench Tuesday for the second time in the Rangers' past three games. The 28-year-old is expected to be available off the bench, so it appears the unspecified injury isn't a serious concern.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Not starting Tuesday
Jung is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
Despite going 2-for-3 during Monday's series opener versus Seattle, Jung will sit Tuesday for the second time in Texas' past three games. He's struggled to get on track this year with a .188 average (6-for-32) through nine games, and he's still in search of his first extra-base hit. Ezequiel Duran will step in at third base and bat ninth.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: On bench Tuesday
McMahon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the A's.
McMahon has gone 2-for-23 with six walks and 11 strikeouts through nine games this season and will hit the bench Tuesday for the second time this year. Amed Rosario is instead starting at the hot corner and batting seventh.

Alexander Albertus 3B | CHW
White Sox's Alexander Albertus: Nearing return
Albertus is continuing his recovery from a fractured left tibia suffered in July 2024, with the hope that he'll be able to join an affiliate by the end of April, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.
Albertus played in eight games in the Arizona Complex League last June, logging a 168 wRC+, but he presumably re-injured his surgically repaired tibia, as he didn't play again after June 23. Given that the former Dodgers farmhand is already 21, he could spend most of the season at High-A Winston-Salem.

Noelvi Marte RF | CIN
Reds' Noelvi Marte: RF timeshare continues
Marte is starting in right field and batting eighth Tuesday against the Marlins.
Marte received the Opening Day start for the Reds but has been alternating starts in right field ever since with Will Benson. Marte has started all three games against left-handed pitchers and is picking up his third start versus a righty Tuesday. The 24-year-old is off to a slow start, going 1-for-12 with six strikeouts in six games, and he may need to get on track soon in order to avoid falling into a lesser role.

Matt Chapman 3B | SF
Giants' Matt Chapman: Triples in loss
Chapman went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a triple and a run scored in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.
Chapman singled in the first inning and hit a two-run triple in the third before coming around to score. The veteran third baseman has recorded two hits in back-to-back games and in three of his last five overall, going 7-for-20 with four RBI and three runs scored across 21 plate appearances over the latter stretch. Over 11 games, he's now slashing .262/.326/.429 with six RBI, six runs scored and one homer across 46 plate appearances.

Cam Smith RF | HOU
Astros' Cam Smith: Stays hot in loss
Smith went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-7 loss to the Rockies.
Smith has been on fire at the plate early in the season. He extended his hit streak to seven games Monday, going 10-for-24 (.417) with three homers, two stolen bases and a 1.375 OPS in that span. After slashing .236/.312/.358 with nine homers and eight steals across 493 regular-season plate appearances as a rookie in 2025, Smith has claimed an everyday role in Houston's outfield thanks to his fast start this year.

Brett Baty 3B | NYM
Mets' Brett Baty: Good to go Tuesday
Baty (thumb) is starting in right field and batting fifth Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.
Baty sat out Sunday's matchup with the Giants due to a jammed thumb, which he sustained on a slide during Saturday's contest. The 26-year-old, who has a .242/.242/.364 slash line with no homers and one steal through 33 plate appearances this year, is ready for action after taking Monday's team off day to recover from the injury.
