  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Pops home run in win

    Schneemann went 1-for-1 with three walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over Kansas City.

    Schneemann was in the lineup for a second straight game and cracked his first home run. He's currently sharing second base with Gabriel Arias, who was needed at third base for the injured Jose Ramirez (wrist).

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Swipes bag in loss

    Holliday went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Holliday singled and stole his first base of the season in the second inning, but he also struck out in his other three at-bats. The 21-year-old has had a solid start to 2025, reaching base in all four games with a home run and a steal. However, he's struck out seven times in 16 plate appearances, continuing a trend from 2024, when he fanned at a 33 percent rate.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: On bench Sunday

    Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    The 22-year-old has gone 2-for-12 with a solo homer and four strikeouts in his first three MLB games, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Seattle. Max Schuemann will start at second base and bat ninth in place of Muncy.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Receiving Sunday off

    Seager is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Seager went 3-for-12 with a run and three strikeouts over the first three games of the series, and he'll sit for Sunday's finale. Jonathan Ornelas, who was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Kevin Newman 3B | LAA

    Angels' Kevin Newman: Heads to bench Sunday

    Newman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    With Zach Neto (shoulder) on the shelf, Newman began the season as the Angels' top shortstop, starting the team's first two games while going 0-for-6 with a strikeout. He'll give way to Tim Anderson at shortstop Sunday, and Newman will likely need to pick up the pace at the plate if he's to remain atop the depth chart until Neto returns.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: On bench Sunday

    Story is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

    Story batted fifth in the first three games of the season but will head to the bench Sunday after going 1-for-11 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs. David Hamilton will step in at shortstop and bat eighth in the series finale at Texas.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Starts at second base

    Schneemann started at second base and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Kansas City.

    The lefty-hitting Schneemann handled second base against a right-hander, after the righty-hitting Gabriel Arias started Opening Day against a lefty. It's unclear if the keystone will be a strict platoon, but it would juice Schneemann's fantasy viability if it is. Depending on the state of Jose Ramirez's wrist, both Schneemann and Arias could be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Royals.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Goes deep again Saturday

    Volpe went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and two walks in a 20-9 thrashing of Milwaukee on Saturday.

    Volpe played his part on a historic day for the Yankees, smashing one of the team's franchise-record nine homers with a three-run blast to left field in the second inning. The 23-year-old has gone deep in each of New York's first two games of the campaign after hitting a modest 12 homers over 688 plate appearances last season. In fact, both of Volpe's hits so far have left the yard.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Collects four hits in loss

    Bichette went 4-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and two runs in a 9-5 loss to the Orioles on Saturday.

    The 27-year-old has a hot bat to start the 2025 season, hitting .500 (6-for-12) in the early going with three runs, two doubles, one walk and no strikeouts. As long as he can stay healthy, Bichette figures to be a good candidate for runs hitting atop the Blue Jays offense in 2025.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Cracks first homer of season

    Pena went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

    Pena got the scoring started in the fifth inning when he took Griffin Canning deep for a 363-foot solo homer to left field. Pena is looking to build off a solid 2024 campaign in which he slashed .266/.308/.394 with 20 stolen bases, 15 home runs and 70 RBI across 650 plate appearances. Pena and the Astros will enjoy a team day off Sunday before starting up a three-game home series against the Giants on Monday.
