Pederson batted fifth in the order and went 0-for-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.

Pederson had consistently batted third to begin the 2025 campaign, but his season-opening slump finally prompted manager Bruce Bochy to move him down in the order, with Josh Smith taking over the third spot Saturday. Pederson is now 2-for-55 (.055) to start the season and could be in danger of more than being dropped in the order. Bochy might be tempted to give the hot-hitting Smith (.341), a super-utility player without a permanent home in the everyday lineup, more opportunities at DH ahead of Pederson.

Diaz went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Saturday against the Yankees.

Diaz failed to record multiple hits across his first 10 starts of the campaign, but he continues to turn things around at the plate, as Saturday marked his fifth multi-hit effort in his last 11 starts. In that 11-game sample, Diaz has also managed three homers and five total extra-base hits to go along with seven RBI and seven runs scored.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Devers opened the scoring with a three-run blast off Shane Smith in the fifth inning. The 28-year-old has hit safely in four straight contests and was intentionally walked in a tie game in the ninth inning. On the season, he's slashing .229/.343/.386 with two home runs, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored across 83 plate appearances.

Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Pirates.

Manzardo gave the Guardians a two-run lead in the seventh inning, when he took the first pitch from Paul Skenes deep to right field for a solo homer. It was Manzardo's fifth homer of the season, which already ties his total from the 2024 regular season. The 24-year-old is top 10 in the American League in both home runs and RBI (13), and he ranks 16th in slugging percentage (.500) to start the year.

Rice was diagnosed with a left elbow contusion after getting hit by a pitch in Saturday's game against the Rays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Rice was plunked twice during Saturday's contest and ran for himself on both occasions, but the Yankees decided to pull him in the sixth inning. The 26-year-old slugger also received X-rays and a CT scan on his elbow to make sure he didn't suffer any structural damage, and both tests came back negative, per Boland. He can be considered day-to-day.

Larnach isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

With southpaw Chris Sale scheduled to take the mound for Atlanta, the left-handed bat of Larnach will stay put on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Ryan Jeffers will serve as Minnesota's designated hitter instead while Christian Vazquez starts behind the dish.

Maton is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

The lefty-hitting Maton will stay put in Chicago's dugout with left-hander Garrett Crochet set to start on the bump for Boston. Maton's absence will create an opening for Jacob Amaya to join the starting nine as the White Sox's shortstop.

Pederson went 0-for-3 in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Dodgers.

Season-opening slumps tend to get more attention than ones in the middle of a season, but there's no sugar-coating Pederson's futility. Following Friday's game, he's 0-for-his-last-36 and is batting .057. If he qualified he would be last in the majors. To Pederson's credit, the slump hasn't resulted in him chasing -- his 24.8 chase percentage is below league average and less than his career norm (27.6). He is, however, topping a lot of balls and is experiencing a spike in groundball rate (56.4). Texas manager Bruce Bochy is standing behind the slugger and continues to put him third or fourth in the lineup.

Keaschall went 2-for-4 with a double, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 6-4 loss to Atlanta.

Keaschall had a successful major-league debut, taking little time to check off a few firsts. He supplied an RBI single and a steal in the second inning and scored his first run after doubling in the fourth. The top prospect has a bit of speed in his game, as evidenced by his 24 bases between High-A Cedar Rapids and Double-A Wichita last year. He also swiped four bags on five attempts over 14 games with Triple-A St. Paul prior to his call-up this year. The 22-year-old is up to provide extra infield depth as the Twins deal with a handful of injuries, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him carve out a decent share of playing time while in the majors.

Larnach went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to Atlanta.

Larnach stretched the Twins' early lead to 3-0 with his third-inning homer. The 28-year-old is seeing consistent time in the lineup between designated hitter and left field, and he could also be an option in right field while Matt Wallner (hamstring) is out. Friday's homer was the first of the season for Larnach, who has added a .185/.299/.246 slash line, five RBI, nine runs scored and one stolen base over 19 contests.
