  • Joc Pederson DH | TEX

    Rangers' Joc Pederson: Sitting against left-hander

    Pederson is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cubs.

    The Rangers are facing a left-hander in Justin Steele for just the second time this season, which means Pederson will begin the contest on the bench. Jonah Heim is starting at designated hitter and Kyle Higashioka is doing the catching for the series opener.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | MIN

    Marlins' Jonah Bride: Exiting lineup Monday

    Bride is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    Bride will head to the bench for the second time in three games after producing just two hits through his first 26 at-bats of the season. He'll cede his spot in the lineup to Eric Wagaman, who draws the start at first base while Matt Mervis gets a day out of the infield and serves as Miami's designated hitter.

  • Bryan Reynolds RF | PIT

    Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Not in Monday's lineup

    Reynolds is out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Cardinals.

    It's the first day off this season for Reynolds, who is still not ready to play the outfield as he deals with right triceps soreness. Alexander Canario is getting the call in right field Monday while Andrew McCutchen serves as the Pirates' designated hitter.

  • Yohel Pozo C | STL

    Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Officially added to roster

    The Cardinals selected Pozo's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

    Pozo will serve as the team's backup catcher behind Pedro Pages for at least the next 10 days while Ivan Herrera (knee) is on the injured list. The 27-year-old Pozo was off to a hot start at Memphis with two home runs and three doubles over his first 21 plate appearances.

  • Kris Bryant DH | COL

    Rockies' Kris Bryant: First multi-hit effort

    Bryant went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Sunday against the A's.

    Bryant entered the game with just two hits across the first 18 at-bats of his season, though he doubled that total with his effort Sunday. He also drove in his first run of the season with a single in the first frame. Bryant still has an ugly .174/.240/.217 line for the season.

  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Plays hero in Sunday's victory

    Flores went 1-for-1 with an RBI during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

    The 33-year-old began the game on the bench for the first time this season, though he pinch hit in the ninth frame and knocked a walk-off single into right field. Flores ranks third in the National League with 12 RBI on the season and is the only player in the top five with fewer than 10 appearances. The veteran has delivered a productive start to the 2025 campaign, slashing .273/.314/.636 with four home runs, an additional run and a walk across 33 at-bats.

  • Yohel Pozo C | STL

    Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Set to be called up Monday

    The Cardinals are expected to call up Pozo from Triple-A Memphis on Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Pozo will join the major-league roster ahead of the team's three-game series in Pittsburgh. With Ivan Herrera (knee) set to be placed on the 10-day injured list, Pozo will operate as the Cardinals' backup catcher behind Pedro Pages. Pozo -- whose lone big-league action came in 2021 with the Rangers -- has produced five extra-base hits (two home runs, three doubles) over 21 plate appearances with Memphis this season.

  • Kyle Manzardo DH | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Goes deep in loss

    Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Angels.

    Manzardo cracked his third home run of the season in the fourth inning to tie the game at 2-2 before the Angels pulled away in the latter innings. He leads the Guardians with nine RBI through nine games.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Impressive in doubleheader

    Devers combined to go 5-for-8 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI, five runs scored and two walks in Sunday's doubleheader against St. Louis.

    Devers went 1-for-4 with his first long ball of the year and drew a game-tying walk in the ninth inning in Game 1 of the doubleheader before catching fire with a 4-for-4 performance in Game 2. After a historically bad start to the 2025 campaign, Devers is beginning to look like himself again; over his last five games, he's gone 10-for-19 (.526) with four extra-base hits and a 5:2 BB:K. Devers was in an 0-for-19 rut but has already boosted his slash line to .263/.404/.421 with his recent hot streak.

  • Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU

    Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Launches clutch homer

    Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Sunday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Twins.

    Alvarez delivered the first run of the game for Houston in the top of the first inning, driving in Jose Altuve from third base on a sacrifice fly. The 27-year-old later added a single in the top of the fifth before launching a game-tying two-run homer in the ninth, knotting the game up at 7-7. The home run was Alvarez's first of the season, and he's now batting .182 with the long ball, seven RBI, four walks and 11 strikeouts over 33 at-bats in nine games.
