  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Not activated Thursday

    Henderson (intercostal) isn't included in the Baltimore lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox and isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list until Friday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    The Orioles' decision not to reinstate Henderson from the IL on his first day of eligibility isn't indicative of a setback. Instead, the 1:05 p.m. ET start time for Thursday's contest was likely a major factor, with manager Brandon Hyde telling Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com that Henderson will get a planned rest day after playing five innings in the field Wednesday night in his final rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk. Hyde said that Henderson will rejoin the Orioles in Kansas City ahead of the series opener with the Royals on Friday, and the 23-year-old will likely start at shortstop and bat leadoff in what will be his 2025 MLB debut.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Belts another long ball Wednesday

    Volpe went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

    The Yankees trailed 4-0 entering the bottom of the ninth inning, but Volpe gave the team life with his one-out, three-run blast to right field off A.J. Puk. New York wasn't able to complete the comeback, but it was yet another big early-season moment for the young shortstop. Volpe has gone deep four times in his first five games of the campaign -- only one major-leaguer (Eugenio Suarez) has more home runs so far in 2025.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Breaks out of slump

    Correa went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's victory over the White Sox. He ended an 0-for-18 streak to begin the season.

    Correa had been hitting the ball hard his first four games but came up empty before Wednesday. He looks back on track but more importantly is healthy after playing just 86 games last season due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Swats first homer

    Story went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Baltimore.

    Story went deep for the first time in 2025, taking the first pitch he saw in the second inning over the fence in center field. While all eyes were focused on the historically slow start of teammate Rafael Devers, Story's 2-for-15 start (.133) flew under the radar.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Extends hitting streak to seven

    Wilson went 3-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Cubs.

    Wilson was responsible for three of the Athletics' five hits Wednesday, including his first double of the season in the ninth inning. Wilson has logged a hit in each of the first seven games of the 2025 season and is slashing .375/.375/.542 with three runs scored, one home run and two RBI.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Pops first home run

    Sweeney went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

    Sweeney popped his first home run of the season in the fifth inning against Seattle starter Luis Castillo. While it was the young shortstop's first extra-base hit of the year as well, he's still performed respectably with a .273 average and .713 OPS in the early going. As a rookie in 2024, Sweeney batted .218 with a .642 OPS during the regular season. The 24-year-old could be primed to take a step forward in 2025, and he figures to start at short most days against righties, with Javier Baez subbing in versus southpaws.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Goes yard Wednesday

    Baldwin went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Twins.

    The 24-year-old switch hitter spoiled a shutout bid by Pablo Lopez with his seventh-inning blast. It was Baldwin's first long ball of the season, and he's making a case to take over the starting shortstop job for the White Sox with a five-game hitting streak to begin the season, during which he's batting .357 (5-for-14).

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Availability for Thursday uncertain

    Henderson (intercostal) is scheduled to play 7-to-9 innings in the field Wednesday in his final rehab game for Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Though Henderson is poised to rejoin the big club immediately after completing the rehab assignment, the Orioles may not be keen on reinstating him from the 10-day injured list ahead of Thursday's game against the Red Sox, which begins at 1:05 p.m. ET. Before making a decision on whether to activate Henderson on Thursday or to delay his season debut until the weekend, the Orioles will wait and see how Henderson is feeling physically coming out of Wednesday's contest. After straining his right intercostal Feb. 27 and landing on the IL, Henderson has looked healthy through his first four rehab games, going 5-for-16 with a pair of home runs. Manager Brandon Hyde reiterated that Henderson will serve as the Orioles' everyday shortstop and leadoff hitter once he's activated.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Getting day off Wednesday

    Holliday is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox.

    With lefty Garrett Crochet on the hill for the Red Sox, the left-handed-hitting Holliday will receive his first day off this season. Jorge Mateo will start at shortstop and Jordan Westburg will cover second base for the Orioles.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: First day off Wednesday

    Rocchio is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego.

    Rocchio will get his first day off of the season after going 3-for-15 with three singles in his first five contests. The Guardians will roll with Gabriel Arias at shortstop and Daniel Schneemann at second base for Wednesday's series finale.
