  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Taking seat Tuesday

    Dingler isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.

    Dingler will catch a breather Tuesday after going 4-for-12 with a homer, five RBI and two runs scored through the Tigers' first four games. Jake Rogers will replace him behind the plate and bat ninth.

  • Cody Ponce RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Cody Ponce: Officially placed on injured list

    The Blue Jays placed Ponce (knee) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    Ponce's absence is expected to be much longer than the minimum 15 days, as manager John Schneider said earlier Tuesday that the right-hander will miss "significant time" with a sprained right ACL that he suffered in Monday's start against the Rockies. In a corresponding move, Toronto recalled Lazaro Estrada from Triple-A. The Blue Jays will need to continue to piece their rotation together until some of their starters get healthy.

  • George Valera CF | CLE

    Guardians' George Valera: Begins rehab assignment

    Valera (calf) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, SI.com reports.

    Valera was cleared to begin playing in games toward the end of spring training, and he'll now play a few more rehab contests in the minors before coming off the IL. Once healthy, he will either serve as a reserve outfielder for the big club or be optioned to Triple-A.

  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Working in platoon

    Canzone is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    The 28-year-old clubbed two solo homers Opening Day but has otherwise begun the season 1-for-7 with a double. Southpaw Max Fried is taking the mound Tuesday for the Yankees, so Canzone will take a seat in favor of Rob Refsnyder as the pair operate in a platoon at designated hitter.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Remaining in platoon

    Raley is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Yankees lefty Max Fried is the third southpaw starter the Mariners have faced this season, and Raley has come off the bench in each game. Raley has a four-game hit streak to begin the campaign and has gone 4-for-14 with three homers and six RBI. Victor Robles is starting in right field and batting seventh Tuesday.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Receiving Tuesday off

    Narvaez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Houston, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Narvaez went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts in Monday's series opener and has hits in all three of his starts this season, but he'll head to the bench for Tuesday's contest. Connor Wong will do the catching for Boston righty Brayan Bello.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Taking seat Tuesday

    Durbin is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Durbin is hitless through the first four contests of the season and will get a game to reset Tuesday in Houston. Andruw Monasterio will step in at the hot corner and bat sixth for Boston against Astros righty Hunter Brown.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Taking seat Tuesday

    Moncada is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Cubs.

    Moncada homered in Monday's loss to the Cubs, but he'll receive his first day off of the season Tuesday as the Angels look to even the series. Jeimer Candelario will cover third base and bat fifth for the Halos.

  • Jake Fraley RF | TB

    Rays' Jake Fraley: Returns to lineup

    Fraley (shoulder) will start in right field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game versus the Brewers.

    Fraley had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to right shoulder soreness and then didn't play Monday as the Brewers sent a left-hander to the mound. However, the left-handed-hitting Fraley feels well enough to give it a go Tuesday against right-hander Brandon Woodruff.

  • Jarren Duran CF | BOS

    Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Not starting Tuesday

    Duran is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Duran went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base Opening Day but is hitless across the past three games, though he has still worked four walks during the latter stretch. Masataka Yoshida will receive a start at designated hitter and bat third versus Houston ace Hunter Brown.
