Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Yoshida (shoulder/back) has been cleared to resume baseball activities and took approximately 50 swings with a bat Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MLB.com reports.

Yoshida opened the season on the 10-day injured list while he continues his rehab program for the labral repair surgery he underwent Oct. 3. The 31-year-old was also managing back tightness at the tail end of spring training, but after a brief shutdown period, he's now resumed focusing on rehabbing the shoulder. Yoshida was able to serve as a designated hitter during the Grapefruit League, but he'll need to complete a throwing program and play the outfield in some minor-league rehab games before being activated from the IL. Cora said that Yoshida is feeling better but still not doing any throwing, so Yoshida's season debut doesn't appear to be imminent.

Steer is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers.

Steer has now started three of the first five games this season, as the Reds don't want to overload him as he comes back from his right shoulder injury. All three of Steer's starts have been at designated hitter, and it's not clear when he might be ready to play the field. Gavin Lux is at DH on Tuesday while Blake Dunn covers left field.

Steer went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Monday's 14-3 win over the Rangers.

Steer, who served as the designated hitter, was in the starting lineup for a second straight day, which indicates his lingering shoulder discomfort presents no limitations other than when it comes to playing the field. Monday's hit was his first of the season. Steer had gone 0-for-10 before a two-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Sheets went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two runs and four RBI in Monday's 7-2 victory over the Guardians.

San Diego fell behind in the first inning on a Jose Ramirez solo home run, but Sheets gave the Padres the lead with his two-run double in the second. He added another two-run doublein the fifth, giving him four total RBI in the game. Sheets signed with San Diego on a minor-league deal in February and earned a spot on the team's Opening Day roster due to a standout spring training. He's been working as the Padres' primary designated hitter and is off to a fantastic start to the season, slashing .500/.533/.857 with a home run, three runs, five RBI and a stolen base through 15 plate appearances.

McCutchen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

McCutchen will sit for the second time this season after he made three starts during the Pirates' four-game series with the Marlins last week. Bryan Reynolds will get a day off from outfield duty and will occupy the designated-hitter spot while McCutchen hits the bench.

Baker will start at designated hitter and bat third in Monday's game versus the Angels.

Baker didn't play in any of the Cardinals' three games during their opening series against the Twins, but he's in the lineup Monday versus lefty Tyler Anderson and is occupying a prime spot in the batting order. The 28-year-old is expected to play regularly against southpaws.

Sheets went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 5-0 win over Atlanta.

Sheets has started the last three games at DH against right-handed pitching. He's responded well to the opportunity, going 4-for-11 with a home run to start the campaign. Playing the strong side of a platoon, Sheets should offer decent fantasy value in a high-powered Padres lineup.

Devers will be part of the starting lineup Monday against the Orioles, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

The Red Sox had a few positive takeaways after dropping three of four games in their season-opening series versus the Rangers, but one glaring negative storyline is Devers, who went 0-for-16 with 12 strikeouts. Red Sox manager Alex Cora talked to Devers about tightening his batting stance to create a better base, but the skipper also acknowledged that a player knows his swing the best and trusts Devers to make whatever adjustments the player feels are needed.

McCutchen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Marlins.

McCutchen rested Saturday but returned to the lineup one day later. He also bumped up to the cleanup spot and delivered a solo home run -- his first long ball of the season -- to lead off the second inning. McCutchen has two hits across 11 at-bats but has struck out only once in the early going.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Phillies.

Bell was hitless in his first 10 plate appearances this season before opening the scoring with a three-run homer in the fourth inning. The 32-year-old has hovered around 20 homers with 70-plus RBI in each of the past three seasons. He also entered Sunday with a strong track record at Nationals Park, boasting a .291 average and 25 home runs over 152 career games.
