Andy Ibanez 2B | ATH
Athletics' Andy Ibanez: Collects two RBI vs. Atlanta
Ibanez went 2-for-4 with two RBI singles and a run scored during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Atlanta.
Ibanez put the Athletics on the board with an RBI single in the second inning before doing so again in the fourth. He got the start at second base for the first time this season, and his defensive versatility and success at the plate against southpaws should afford him semi-regular playing time this season.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Drives in pair of runs
Wilson went 2-for-4 with a two-run double during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Atlanta.
Wilson's ground-rule double in the second inning brought Andy Ibanez and Lawrence Butler home to give the Athletics a 3-1 lead. Wilson has logged two hits in two of his last three outings, though he's gone 0-for-13 with four strikeouts in his other three appearances of the regular season. He's looking to build off a strong 2025 campaign in which he slashed .311/.355/.444 with five steals (on seven attempts), 13 home runs and 63 RBI across 523 plate appearances.

Shea Langeliers C | ATH
Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Goes long again
Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Atlanta on Tuesday.
Langeliers struck out in each of his first two plate appearances Tuesday, but he gave the Athletics a four-run lead after belting a solo home run off Joel Payamps in the fifth inning. Langeliers is 2-for-12 with six strikeouts over his last three outings, but the 28-year-old catcher is up to four home runs through five regular-season games.

Mark Leiter RP | ATH
Athletics' Mark Leiter: Collects first save of 2026
Leiter earned the save in Monday's 5-2 win over Atlanta, allowing two hits while striking out one batter in one inning. He did not issue a walk.
Leiter was brought out for the ninth inning to protect the Athletics' three-run lead. He yielded hits to two of the first three batters he faced but bounced back to strike out Ronald Acuna before getting Drake Baldwin to pop out to second. Leiter is competing against Scott Barlow and Hogan Harris for the Athletics' closer job, but Leiter has earned the first save of the season for the organization, with Barlow blowing his opportunity against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Aaron Civale SP | ATH
Athletics' Aaron Civale: Earns win against Atlanta
Civale (1-0) picked up the win against Atlanta on Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three across five innings.
Civale put the Athletics on the back foot after yielding a solo home run to Drake Baldwin in the first inning. However, Civale then kept Atlanta off the board until a Ronald Acuna sacrifice fly in the fifth, and Civale came away with the victory thanks to the A's bats. The 30-year-old right-hander has played for five different organizations over the past two seasons but is looking to stick around with the Athletics after a strong spring training and a win to start the regular season. Civale is slated to start next week on the road against the Yankees.

Zach Eflin SP | BAL
Orioles' Zach Eflin: Expected to land on IL
Manager Craig Albernaz said after Tuesday's loss to the Rangers that he expects Eflin (elbow) to be placed on the injured list, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Eflin made an early exit from Tuesday's contest after 3.2 innings of one-run ball due to elbow discomfort. He's scheduled to receive an MRI on his elbow Wednesday, but the Orioles don't seem to be very optimistic about what the results will show. A clearer timeline for the right-hander's return will emerge once the team knows the extent of the damage done.

Carlos Rodon SP | NYY
Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Dealing with hamstring tightness
Rodon (elbow) reported tightness in his right hamstring Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Rodon has been working his way back from a procedure he underwent in the offseason to remove a bone spur from his left elbow. However, he now appears to be battling a hamstring injury he suffered while running. Manager Aaron Boone said the left-hander still threw Tuesday despite his new injury, and it remains unknown whether his season debut -- tentatively scheduled for late April -- will be delayed.

Zach Eflin SP | BAL
Orioles' Zach Eflin: Exits with trainer
Eflin was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rangers due to right elbow discomfort, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Eflin had allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out seven batters before one of the Orioles' trainers made the call to pull him with two outs in the fourth inning. It's unclear whether the 31-year-old righty is dealing with any structural damage, but the team should provide an update on his status in the near future.

Ryan Loutos RP | SEA
Mariners' Ryan Loutos: DFA'd by Seattle
The Mariners designated Loutos for assignment Tuesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
The move opens up a 40-man roster spot for Colt Emerson, who inked an eight-year, $95 million extension earlier Tuesday. Loutos failed to earn a spot on the Mariners' Opening Day roster after allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits across three innings during Cactus League action.

C.J. Kayfus 1B | CLE
Guardians' CJ Kayfus: Sitting again Tuesday
Kayfus isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
Kayfus has yet to record his first hit of the season through 11 plate appearances, and he'll take a seat Tuesday with Shohei Ohtani on the mound for Los Angeles. Angel Martinez will fill the resulting void in left field and bat ninth.
