  • 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.

  • Cody Ponce RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Cody Ponce: Set to miss extended time

    Ponce (knee) has been diagnosed with a sprained right ACL and is expected to miss "significant time," Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    The Blue Jays remain optimistic that Ponce can pitch again this season, but manager John Schneider said doctors will continue to review Ponce's MRI and determine if surgery is needed. It's a brutal blow for Ponce, who inked a three-year, $30 million deal with Toronto this past offseason after spending three seasons overseas. Ponce's injury also further tests the pitching depth of the Blue Jays, who are already dealing with injuries to Jose Berrios (elbow), Shane Bieber (elbow) and Trey Yesavage (shoulder) in the rotation. Ponce is likely to be shut down for quite some time.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: First day off Tuesday

    Mayo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

    Mayo started at third base in each of the Orioles' first four games of the season, but he will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Blaze Alexander will start at the hot corner as Baltimore tries to even the series.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Paredes is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Paredes started the first five games of the season across three different positions, and he'll hit the bench Tuesday after going 4-for-19 with two walks, three doubles, four RBI and three runs scored. Yordan Alvarez will serve as the designated hitter while Joey Loperfido receives a start in left field.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Getting Tuesday off

    Jung is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

    The third baseman will get a day to rest after going 0-for-17 with seven strikeouts to open the campaign. Ezequiel Duran will start at third base in place of Jung on Tuesday as Texas goes up against Baltimore righty Zach Eflin.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Kirk is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    Kirk has gone 1-for-12 with two walks and a solo homer through three games and will sit Tuesday for the second time in Toronto's past three contests. Tyler Heineman will take over behind the plate to do the catching for veteran righty Max Scherzer.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Hitting bench Tuesday

    Barger is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    The 26-year-old will head to the bench Tuesday for the second time in Toronto's first five games, with this absence coming against Colorado righty Ryan Feltner. It'll be a chance to reset for Barger, who has gone 0-for-12 with two walks, two RBI and five strikeouts. Nathan Lukes is instead starting in right field for Toronto.

  • White Sox's Everson Pereira: Day off Tuesday

    Pereira is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami.

    Pereira started each of the first four games of the season in right field, but he will begin Tuesday's contest on the bench. Tristan Peters will cover right field and hit seventh for the White Sox on Tuesday.

  • Matt Brash RP | SEA

    Mariners' Matt Brash: Earns win Monday

    Brash (1-0) earned the win Monday over the Yankees, allowing one hit while logging a strikeout in a scoreless inning.

    Brash kept the Yankees off the board in the top of the ninth inning, working around a Giancarlo Stanton one-out double before the Mariners delivered a walk-off win in the bottom half of the frame. Brash has held opponents scoreless through his first two appearances (two innings) this season, allowing two hits and no walks. The right-hander is a key high-leverage option for Seattle ahead of closer Andres Munoz. Brash posted a 2.47 ERA with a 1.25 WHIP and 58:18 K:BB in 47.1 regular-season innings last year, totaling four saves and 21 holds.
