Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Homers in win
Duran started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Orioles.
Duran put the Rangers up early with a solo shot in the third inning. He filled in for the struggling Josh Jung, who is 0-for-17 to start the season. The versatile Duran has started twice this season -- the other start coming at second base -- and contributed an extra-base hit and RBI in each contest.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Begins rehab assignment
Crawford (shoulder) went 0-for-4 with a walk in his first rehab game with Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Crawford played all nine innings at shortstop in his first game action in three weeks. The veteran infielder's rehab assignment happened to kick off on the same day the Mariners announced a contract extension with top shortstop prospect Colt Emerson, who played third base for the Rainiers next to Crawford on Tuesday. Emerson is expected to remain at Tacoma for now and Crawford could be activated at any time, but the former could eventually push aside the latter when he's ready to take over at shortstop with the big club.

Vaughn Grissom SS | LAA
Angels' Vaughn Grissom: Kicks off rehab assignment
Grissom (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a single in his first rehab game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Grissom was declared ready for game action as he works his way back from a sprained left wrist. The infielder is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list and could be ready to go Friday when the Angels open up their first homestand of the season. Once activated, Grissom will be in the mix for playing time at second and third base for the Halos.

Hunter Gaddis SP | CLE
Guardians' Hunter Gaddis: Makes second rehab appearance
Gaddis (forearm) allowed one hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
Gaddis, who began a rehab assignment March 28, made his second appearance while with the Clippers. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt told MLB.com that Gaddis needs to be built up to the point where the right-hander can reduce the time off between outings.

Erick Fedde SP | CHW
White Sox's Erick Fedde: Sunk by Marlins
Fedde (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk over five innings as the White Sox fell 9-2 to Miami. He struck out four.
The veteran right-hander tossed 50 of 80 pitches for strikes and held the Marlins off the board for three innings before things fell apart for him in the fourth. Fedde is hoping to recapture the form he showed in 2024 in his return to the White Sox, but about the only bright spot in Tuesday's performance is that he kept the ball in the yard after serving up 19 homers in 141 innings last season while bouncing between St. Louis, Atlanta and Milwaukee. Fedde is set to make his next start at home early next week against the Orioles.

Roman Anthony RF | BOS
Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Fans four times in loss
Anthony went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Tuesday's 9-2 loss to Houston.
After collecting three singles Opening Day, Anthony's bat has gone silent. Over four subsequent contests, he's gone 1-for-17 with a whopping 10 strikeouts. He's hardly the lone member of the team struggling, but Anthony carries a high profile as Boston's leadoff hitter who signed an eight-year contract extension in August of 2025. The top four spots in the Red Sox's order are batting a combined .156 through five games.

Connor Wong C | BOS
Red Sox's Connor Wong: Off to good start
Wong went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 9-2 loss to the Astros.
Wong is off to a good start after hitting .190 over 188 at-bats in 2025. The backup catcher is 3-for-7 with two doubles through three games (two starts).

Ceddanne Rafaela CF | BOS
Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Homers in loss
Rafaela went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-2 loss to Houston.
Rafaela, batting ninth, launched his first home run of the season in the eighth inning. He's been a rare bright spot in a struggling offense, batting .250 (4-for-16) and ranking second among the team's qualified players. The Red Sox have lost four consecutive, and the offense has been non-existent in two straight lopsided losses to the Astros.

Tanner Bibee SP | CLE
Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Takes loss against Dodgers
Bibee (0-1) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four batters over four innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.
Bibee had to be pulled from his first start last Thursday against Seattle due to a shoulder issue, but the injury didn't prove to be serious, and the right-hander was able to take his normal turn in the rotation Tuesday. He didn't pitch poorly, but he also wasn't efficient, needing 74 pitches to get through four frames. Bibee kept Los Angeles out of the scoring column until there were two outs in his final inning, but an Andy Pages single produced a run and was ultimately responsible for the hurler ending up with the loss. Bibee said after the game that he didn't have any issues with his shoulder, per Mason Horodyski of News 5 Cleveland, so he should be fine to make his next start, which lines up to come at home against Kansas City.

Logan Gilbert SP | SEA
Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Yields five runs in loss
Gilbert (0-1) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings.
Gilbert retired the first two batters he faced Tuesday, but three straight Yankees hits resulted in a pair of first-inning runs. The right-hander proceeded through the next four frames without falling further behind, but he imploded in the sixth, allowing four of the five batters he faced in that inning to reach base (on two doubles, a single and a walk) before being pulled. Overall, Gilbert threw just 54 of 95 pitches for strikes, and his three walks tied the most he recorded in any game last season. Gilbert did rack up 14 whiffs and now has 13 punchouts across 10.2 innings on the campaign, but he's also carrying a 6.75 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through two starts.
