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

It's the third consecutive game on the bench for Bride, who has gone just 2-for-28 with five walks and 10 strikeouts through 33 plate appearances this season. The 29-year-old started seven of Miami's first eight contests, but the slow start to the campaign appears to have pushed him into a reserve role.

Winker is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Though he typically starts against right-handed pitchers like the Marlins' Connor Gillispie, the left-handed-hitting Winker will check out of the lineup Tuesday to open up the designated-hitter role for Starling Marte. Winker has gotten off to a sluggish start to the season, hitting .208 with three extra-base hits (two triples, one double), four RBI and a 3:7 BB:K over 27 plate appearances.

Malloy will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Malloy will make his sixth consecutive start -- including his fifth in a row out of the leadoff spot -- after getting on base at a .462 clip in 26 plate appearances since his March 31 call-up. The 25-year-old's long-term path to regular playing time could become murkier once the Tigers get at least one or two of Gleyber Torres (oblique), Matt Vierling (shoulder), Wenceel Perez (back) and Parker Meadows (arm) back from the injured list, but with none of those players are expected to return in the near future, Malloy should continue to enjoy a full-time role in a prominent lineup spot.

Pozo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Pirates.

Playing in his first game at the major-league level since 2021, Pozo lined one over the left-field wall off of Carmen Mlodzinski in the sixth inning for his second career home run. The 27-year-old boasts a career .321/.343/.545 batting line at the Triple-A level, but it's unlikely he will see enough playing time to make a fantasy impact over the next few weeks while Ivan Herrera (knee) is shelved.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Monday in a 5-1 victory versus Arizona.

O'Hearn helped the Orioles get off to a positive start with a solo shot to right field in the first inning. The long ball was his first of the campaign, though he also has three doubles among his eight hits. O'Hearn has been in and out of the Orioles' lineup, but he's hit well when given the chance, slashing .308/.379/.538 through 29 plate appearances.

McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a run scored in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

McCutchen ripped a two-run double and came around to score during Pittsburgh's four-run seventh inning. He's turned in two multi-hit performances over his last three appearances, boosting his season slash line to .348/.423/.565 with three extra-base hits and four RBI through 26 plate appearances. McCutchen appears to be a safe bet for regular playing time, even as Bryan Reynolds occasionally slots in as a DH while he nurses a minor triceps issue.

Suzuki went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-0 win over the Rangers. He also stole a base.

Suzuki had a good all-around effort Monday, which included his first stolen base of the season. The outfielder isn't a huge speed threat, though he did have a career-high 16 steals a season ago. If Suzuki gets a little more aggressive on the bases in 2025, he could be poised for his first campaign with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases. He reached the 20-homer plateau in each of the last two years.

Ohtani went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a triple and a walk in Monday's 6-4 loss the Nationals.

The Japanese superstar was a perfect 3-for-3 against southpaw starter MacKenzie Gore. After leading the game off with an infield single, Ohtani slugged a 378-foot homer in the third inning to tie the game at 2-2. The three-time MVP wasn't finished, however, returning in the fifth to hit his first triple of the season. Ohtani looks headed for another great season, as he's opened with a .311/.436/.644 slash line across 55 plate appearances.

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.

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.
