Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT
Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Out of Sunday's lineup
O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The absence ends a run of 24 straight starts for O'Hearn, who batted .330 (30-for-91) with four doubles, two homers, two steals, 10 RBI and 11 runs during that stretch. The 31-year-old is seeing more playing time against lefties this year compared to previous seasons, but his solid .263 average versus southpaws is undercut a bit by a .316 slugging percentage. Still, O'Hearn has been incredibly productive overall in 2025 with nine homers and a .316/.397/.500 slash line through 54 games.

Yandy Diaz 1B | TB
Rays' Yandy Diaz: Powers offense in win
Diaz went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Marlins.
Diaz got the Rays on the board in the fifth inning, driving a two-out, opposite-field blast off Valente Bellozo to tie the game 2-2. It's the ninth homer of the year for Diaz, who's gone 10-for-27 (.370) over his last seven games. He's slashing .248/.297/.413 with 25 runs scored, 36 RBI and three steals across 263 plate appearances this season.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Set for additional testing
Soler, who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, is going to get more tests Monday on his injured groin, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Soler first hurt his groin Wednesday against Boston but was back in the lineup Friday. However, the veteran slugger exited during the first inning Saturday due to a flare-up of the issue and remains on the bench for the series finale versus Seattle. Soler said Sunday that he doesn't know if he'll need to go on the IL, so Monday's tests should give a better idea of the severity of the issue.

Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE
Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Taking seat against lefty
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
With southpaw Brandon Walter on the hill for the Astros, Manzardo will hit the bench for the series finale. Though he's produced a .206/.300/.647 slash line (155 wRC+) over 40 plate appearances versus lefties this season, Manzardo could have to settle for a strong-side platoon role at designated hitter with David Fry now off the IL.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Groin issue resurfaces
Soler was removed from Saturday's game against the Mariners due to groin tightness.
Soler exited Wednesday's contest versus the Red Sox with groin tightness before returning to the lineup Friday, but he appears to have aggravated the injury Saturday. The Angels will likely exercise more caution after the second occurrence of the injury, and the veteran slugger should be considered day-to-day until the severity of the issue is disclosed.

Agustin Ramirez C | MIA
Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Getting rest day
Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
With first pitch Sunday set for 12:10 p.m. EDT, Ramirez will get a breather after starting at either catcher or designated hitter in 18 straight contests. Liam Hicks will handle catching duties, and Heriberto Hernandez will serve as Miami's DH.

Jared Young 1B | NYM
Mets' Jared Young: Restores lead with homer
Young went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.
Young regained the lead for the Mets with his fifth-inning homer. The 29-year-old is hitting just .200 (4-for-20) across 10 games this season, but three of those hits have gone for extra bases (two homers, one double). He continues to fill a part-time role at designated hitter while the Mets are without Jesse Winker (oblique) and Mark Vientos (hamstring).

Kyle Schwarber LF | PHI
Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Clubs solo homer in loss
Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Pittsburgh.
Schwarber snapped a brief eight-game homerless dry spell, clubbing his 20th long ball of the season Saturday. The veteran slugger has managed to hit for a healthy average in 2025, as he's slashing .265/.363/.603 with 13 big flies, seven doubles, 28 RBI and two stolen bases across his last 157 plate appearances (36 games). Schwarber trails only Shohei Ohtani for the National League lead in homers so far.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Pulled Saturday
Soler exited Saturday's game against the Mariners after the first inning for unspecified reasons, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
There was no reason disclosed for Soler's removal. However, he dealt with groin tightness earlier in the week, so it's possible he aggravated the issue.

Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC
Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Goes yard twice against Tigers
Suzuki went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 6-1 win over Detroit.
He took Tyler Holton deep in the first inning before lofting a Chase Lee sweeper over the left-field fence in the eighth. Suzuki snapped a 10-game homer drought with the big performance, and through 60 contests on the season, the 30-year-old slugger is slashing .269/.332/.563 with 16 long balls and 55 RBI, with the latter figure being third in the majors behind Pete Alonso (57) and Rafael Devers (56).
