Volpe went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in Wednesday's win over the Royals.

Volpe drilled a go-ahead double off the left-field wall to drive in a pair of runs, putting the Yankees in front 2-1 in the third inning. Despite hitting for a low average, the defensive-minded shortstop is off to a productive start offensively in New York's high-powered lineup. Volpe is slashing .219/.320/.469 with four home runs, four doubles and 15 RBI to go with 11 runs scored and two stolen bases through 75 plate appearances (18 games).

Tovar was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to left hip pain, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The severity of Tovar's injury remains unknown, but it's enough to prevent him from playing in Wednesday's contest. Kyle Farmer will shift to shortstop while Tovar rests, opening up second base for Adael Amador.

Wilson is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the White Sox on Wednesday.

Wilson has started the 2025 season strongly, slashing .333/.333/.485 with 11 runs scored, two home runs and eight RBI in 66 plate appearances while starting in every single game. It appears he's just getting the day off Wednesday, with Max Muncy shifting to shortstop and Luis Urias receiving the start at second base against White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon.

Anderson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Anderson will give way to Kevin Newman at shortstop after starting at the position in seven of the Halos' previous nine games. Both players will soon see their opportunities in the middle infield dry up, as Zach Neto (shoulder) looks poised to return from the 10-day injured list to make his season debut as soon as Thursday.

Nunez will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

With Paul DeJong (nose) joining CJ Abrams (hip) on the injured list Tuesday, Nunez looks as though he could have a clear path to regular playing time in the short term. He had already started at shortstop in the Nationals' previous two games, going 4-for-7 with a double, a stolen base, two runs and two RBI.

Rocchio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Rocchio will get a rest Wednesday after he started in each of the Guardians' last five games while going 5-for-15 with two walks against one strikeout. With Rocchio on the bench, Gabriel Arias will shift over from second base to shortstop, opening up the keystone for Daniel Schneemann.

The Pirates optioned Cheng to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday,

Cheng was with the big club for a little over a week and didn't play much, going hitless in seven at-bats. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Jared Triolo's (back) return from the 10-day injured list.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli indicated that Correa (wrist) could be available off the bench Wednesday versus the Mets, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

There's no word yet on the results of the MRI on Correa's left wrist, but the fact that he might be available to enter mid-game suggests Baldelli isn't overly concerned about his shortstop's health. Correa was lifted for a pinch hitter in Tuesday's contest with soreness in his wrist after fouling off a pitch. Consider him day-to-day.

Abrams (hip) did some running on the field Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Abrams has also hit in the batting cage and is "definitely making good progress," per Nationals manager Dave Martinez. There is optimism Abrams will be ready for activation when first eligible April 22, but he'll first need to show he can make lateral movements at shortstop without discomfort in his right hip.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Wednesday that Winn (back) is "on pace" to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Winn has begun hitting in the batting cage and playing catch as he ramps up his baseball activities. He will remain in St. Louis this weekend to continue rehabbing while the Cardinals head out on a road trip. The Cardinals begin a series in Atlanta on Monday and Winn could be activated ahead of the second game of that series Tuesday.
