Jose Trevino C | CIN
Reds' Jose Trevino: Homers in win
Trevino went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over Milwaukee.
Trevino extended an early Cincinnati lead to 7-0 with his first home run of the season, a two-run shot in the fourth inning. He's the primary fill-in for the injured Tyler Stephenson (oblique) and has gone 5-for-12 over the last four contests.

Mitch Garver DH | SEA
Mariners' Mitch Garver: Settling into part-time role
Garver went 0-for-2 with two walks in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Giants.
Despite the release of Mitch Haniger during spring training, Garver has started just four of Seattle's first nine games of the season. Three of those have come at catcher, so that the Mariners could keep the big bat of Cal Raleigh in the lineup as the designated hitter. Garver is only 1-for-14 with three walks and five strikeouts in five appearances overall to begin the year, and the presence of Rowdy Tellez and Luke Raley will continue to limit his opportunities at DH.

Bo Naylor C | CLE
Guardians' Bo Naylor: Belts first homer of 2025
Naylor went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's loss to the Angels.
Naylor notched his first long ball and second RBI of the season with a solo shot to center field in the third inning. It's been a rough start to the campaign for the backstop, as he's slashing just .174/.269/.304 with a 3:8 BB:K through 26 plate appearances. However, he seems to have a stranglehold on catching duties for Cleveland, with backup Austin Hedges logging just four plate appearances so far.

Logan O'Hoppe C | LAA
Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Goes deep in third straight game
O'Hoppe went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 10-4 victory versus the Guardians on Saturday.
O'Hoppe belted one of four Angels homers against Cleveland ace Tanner Bibee, launching a two-run shot to center field in the fifth inning. It was the third straight game with a long ball for the backstop, who is tied for fourth in the league with four home runs on the campaign. O'Hoppe boosted his slash line to .320/.346/.800 with Saturday's three-hit performance.

Shea Langeliers C | ATH
Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Reaches base four times in win
Langeliers went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two total runs and three walks in Saturday's 7-4 victory versus Colorado.
Langeliers tested the control of Rockies hurler German Marquez in the win, drawing three walks against the veteran righty. The powerful backstop then belted a 429-foot, two-run homer off reliever Scott Alexander in the seventh frame. Langeliers is enjoying a strong start to the season with a .250/.382/.571 slash line, three home runs, seven RBI, five runs and a 6:5 K:BB through 34 plate appearances.

Gary Sanchez C | MIL
Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Collects first hit of season
Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Saturday's game against the Royals.
Sanchez drew his third start of the season Saturday and recorded his first hit of the campaign on a two-RBI single in the second inning. He's started every third game behind the dish to give Adley Rutschman rest, and he's likely to remain strictly a backup given the presence of Rutschman and Baltimore's wide range of options at designated hitter.

Hayden Senger C | NYM
Mets' Hayden Senger: Late addition to Saturday's lineup
Senger has been added to Saturday's lineup versus the Blue Jays as a result of Luis Torrens being scratched due to a right forearm contusion, per Will Sammon of The Athletic.
Senger was originally slated to begin the game on the bench, but he'll instead start behind the plate due to Torrens' forearm injury. This will be just the second start of the season for Senger, and to this point he's gone 1-for-3 with a double.

Luis Torrens DH | NYM
Mets' Luis Torrens: Scratched from Saturday's lineup
Torrens was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against Toronto due to a right forearm contusion, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Torrens was originally slated to start behind the plate, but the forearm issue will keep him out of the lineup. In his place, Hayden Senger will start at catcher and bat ninth.

Carson Kelly C | CHC
Cubs' Carson Kelly: Provides jolt Saturday
Kelly went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Padres.
Kelly batted ninth but didn't let that stop him from having a big impact on the game. The veteran catcher slugged his second home run of the season, a three-run shot in the sixth inning, and chipped in another RBI for good measure. Kelly is off to a blistering start with a 1.658 OPS across 15 at-bats, though as a player with a career OPS of .687, regression figures to come in the near future. At the very least, Kelly is making a strong case to earn more playing time over Miguel Amaya.

Patrick Bailey C | SF
Giants' Patrick Bailey: Getting breather Saturday
Bailey is not in the lineup for Saturday's tilt versus Seattle, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Bailey will sit for the second time in San Francisco's past three games while Sam Huff gets his second start behind the plate in that span. Bailey is batting .222 with two doubles, two RBI and a 3:6 BB:K through his first 21 plate appearances of the campaign.
