Collins went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Mariners.

Collins opened up the scoring in the second when he took Nick Margevicius deep to right field to give the White Sox an early 3-0 lead. The 26-year-old later roped a double into the gap in right-center field for the first multi extra-base hit game of his young career. Collins got the start behind the plate in this one while Yasmani Grandal got the night off, and he should continue to rotate in and out of the lineup at either catcher or DH.

Heim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

The backstop swatted a 392-foot homer to left field in the sixth inning for the first long ball of his major-league career. Heim didn't show substantial power in the minors -- he has never reached double-digit homers in a single season -- though he does offer solid defense and batted .358 over 106 at-bats at Triple-A in 2019.

Vazquez went 1-for-4 with a walk, stolen base and a solo home run Tuesday against the Rays.

Vazquez led off the ninth inning with a solo home run off Diego Castillo to tie the game. It was his first home run of the season. Earlier in the game, he reached base on a walk and proceeded to steal second base in a double steal with Xander Bogaerts. Vazquez has gotten off to a strong start to the campaign, recording two multi-hit efforts in four starts.

Grandal is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Mariners.

Grandal is hitting .267 with one home run, three walks and three strikeouts through four games. Zack Collins will start behind the dish and bat seventh.

Jansen (knee) could return to the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

He is feeling better Tuesday after taking a foul tip off the right knee Monday and is available off the bench. It sounds like Jansen will probably catch Hyun Jin Ryu on Wednesday.

Trevino is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

Trevino has picked up at least one hit in all three of his starts so far, good for a .385 average (albeit with four strikeouts) in the early going. Nonetheless, Jonah Heim will start behind the dish and bat eighth Tuesday.

Jansen (knee) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Rangers.

He's day-to-day after exiting Monday's game after getting hit on the knee by a pitch. Alejandro Kirk will start at catcher and bat ninth.

Sanchez is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Orioles.

This is Sanchez's first day off of the young season. He went 3-for-7 with a pair of home runs in the first two games of the season, then 0-for-8 with four strikeouts over the next two. Kyle Higashioka will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

The Rays claimed Grullon off waivers from the Reds on Tuesday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Though Grullon will tentatively replace reliever Chaz Roe (shoulder) on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, he'll presumably be optioned to the Rays' alternate training site since the team already has three catchers on the active roster. Grullon has seen some action at the big-league level with the Phillies and Red Sox, appearing in five games across the past two seasons.

Garver is not starting Tuesday against the Tigers, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Garver will sit for the second straight game, even with this contest coming in the early afternoon. Ryan Jeffers will make his third start in the season's first five games in his absence.
