Stanton went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

Stanton knocked in the Yankees' first run of the game with a third-inning single and singled again in each of his ensuing pair of at-bats. The slugger's first two hits of the campaign were home runs, but he exchanged distance for volume Sunday in recording his first multi-hit game of the season. Stanton is slashing .385/.385/.846 with four RBI and five strikeouts through 13 plate appearances.

Dickerson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

The lefty-hitting Dickerson served as Atlanta's designated hitter for three of the team's first four games, going hitless with a walk across 10 plate appearances. He'll take a seat Monday with southpaw Josh Rogers on the mound for Washington, allowing the righty-hitting Orlando Arcia to pick up a start. Atlanta appears content to lean on a platoon of Dickerson and Arcia at the DH spot to begin the season, but once Ronald Acuna (knee) is back in action, both players will likely see their opportunities dwindle.

Reyes went 2-for-6 with a run and an RBI in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Royals.

Reyes will end up starting all four games of the Guardians' season-opening series in Kansas City, as he's back in the lineup as the team's cleanup hitter Monday. The 26-year-old has gone 3-for-14 with six strikeouts through the Guardians' first three contests.

Miller is getting a day off Monday as the Rangers host the Rockies.

Miller has been red-hot to start the 2022 season, starting 4-for-11 from the plate with two home runs and five RBI, but he'll get a breather Monday when the Rangers take on left-hander Austin Gomber. Nick Solak will start in left field and bat seventh in the contest.

Soler went 3-for-4 with a walk in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Don Mattingly made the seemingly odd choice to put Soler in the leadoff spot to begin the season despite his power profile and mediocre .316 OBP last season, but so far the Marlins manager is looking like a genius. Through his first three games with Miami, Soler has reached base six times in 14 plate appearances, although the 30-year-old is still looking for his first extra-base hit, run or RBI.

Canha went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

His second-inning single brought home Eduardo Escobar and gave the Mets a 2-1 lead, one the team held until a bullpen missing closer Edwin Diaz (personal) faltered late. Canha is off to a flying start to his New York tenure, going 7-for-10 with three walks, two runs and two RBI through his first three games for the Mets, although the veteran outfielder is still looking for his first extra-base hit of 2022.

Miller entered Sunday's game as a pinch hitter and went 2-for-3 with a home run, double, four RBI and a second run scored in a 12-6 win over Toronto.

The lefty-batting Miller was not in the starting lineup against a southpaw starter but came off the bench to contribute in a big way. After doubling for Eli White in the fourth inning off righty reliever Julian Merryweather, Miller remained in to play right then left field. His seventh-inning homer was Texas' final run and his second of the season. Miller has hit safely in all three games with three extra-base hits and five RBI. He's also served as the leadoff batter against righties.

Solak started in left field and went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and three additional runs scored in Sunday's 12-6 win over the Blue Jays.

Solak's second-inning solo job was the lone offense through three innings before the powerful Texas lineup plated eight runs in innings four and five. With the Rangers facing their first left-handed starter, Solak made his first start, replacing Brad Miller. The Rangers rank first in the majors with 23 runs over three games and own a healthy .811 OPS. That means there's no reason for Solak to replace an existing starter, so he'll need to find opportunities off the bench or against southpaws.

Buxton went 2-for-5 with two home runs in Sunday's 10-4 win over Seattle.

Buxton has homered in three consecutive at-bats over two games. He destroyed Grapefruit League pitching with a 1.608 OPS and has barely slowed down since the regular season started.

Hummel went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the Padres.

Hummel walked in the third inning and made the final score more respectable with a 439-foot shot to center in the ninth. Manager Torey Lovullo appears to like the 27-year-old in the leadoff spot against southpaws, though he'll need to progress further than the weak side of a platoon to have consistent fantasy value. He also served as the catcher for the final inning, while starting catcher Carson Kelly pitched.
