Vople went 4-for-4 with two runs scored and a run batted in against the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Volpe generated his second straight multi-hit game and provided his third and fourth extra-base hit of his last three appearances. The second-year shortstop has been making his case to rise up the Yankees lineup having reached safely in 14 of his 18 plate appearances through four games while pacing the team in runs scored (5).

Witt went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and one steal in Monday's loss to the Orioles.

Witt flashed all the skills that made him a top fantasy pick against Baltimore on Monday. The dynamic shortstop opened the game's scoring by tattooing a 440-foot to center field off Dean Kremer in the third inning. Witt appears poised for a monster superstar season as he has now collected an extra base hit in each of his first four games and six in total (three doubles, one triple and two home runs).

Volpe (illness) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Volpe missed the Yankees' series finale against the Astros on Sunday due to an illness. Over the first three games against Houston, he went 4-for-10 with one home run, two RBI and three runs. With Volpe back in the lineup, Oswaldo Cabrera will shift back to third base for Monday's game.

Bichette (neck) is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Houston.

Bichette will be on the bench for a second straight game after he was scratched ahead of Sunday's 9-2 win over the Rays. The Blue Jays haven't indicated that Bichette's neck issue is anything more than a day-to-day concern, but Ernie Clement will spell him at shortstop Monday.

Wendle will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game versus the Tigers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Wendle didn't make an appearance in the lineup or off the bench in the weekend series against the Brewers, but he will start the first game of a three-game set versus the Tigers. Jeff McNeil is receiving a day off.

Adames went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two walks in Sunday's victory over the Mets.

Adames went 0-for-4 in Milwaukee's season opener, but he recorded two hits in their second game and reached base four times a day later. He should have ample opportunities to knock in runs, as he hit fifth against the lone southpaw the Brewers have faced and cleanup against the two right-handers.

Shewmake went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Sunday against the Tigers.

Shewmake started his second consecutive game, the first coming at shortstop and the latter at second base. He was productive with the opportunity, combining to go 3-for-8 with a home run and stolen base -- both of which were the first of his career. Shewmake's fit in the White Sox's infield is unclear as he's an unnatural platoon partner with Nicky Lopez at second base. That could make his primary path to playing time displacing Paul DeJong at shortstop, though it's unclear whether the team is willing to consider that move early in the season.

Rosario went 0-for-3 with a walk Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Rosario wasn't in the starting lineup for the Rays' first two games but has since made consecutive starts in right field -- one of which came against a lefty. He's gone a combined 2-for-7 with a walk in that span, also collecting a double and an RBI. So long as Josh Lowe (oblique) and Jonny DeLuca (hand) are sidelined, Rosario should be locked into a short-side platoon role while also picking up occasional starts against righties.

Kim went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and two additional runs scored during Sunday's win over the Giants.

Kim ended up a triple short of hitting for the cycle Sunday and delivered his first home run of the 2024 campaign. He's gotten back on track after going 0-for-7 in the Padres' two-game Seoul Series, hitting 6-for-15 (.400) with four runs scored and a steal in four games since.

Berti went 1-for-4 with a run batted in during Sunday's win over the Astros.

After being acquired by New York right before Opening Day, Berti was given a few days to get acclimated with the team before drawing the start Sunday. While he entered the lineup in the wake of Anthony Volpe's (illness) sudden absence, he's expected to work in at third base for the duration of DJ LeMahieu's (foot) IL stint. Berti's RBI came in the fourth, driving in Anthony Rizzo on a single off Astros starter J.P. France.
