  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Activated from injured list

    Texas activated Jung (neck) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Jung appears to be over his neck spasms and is ready to return to the lineup after a rehab stint at Double-A Frisco. Jung went 3-for-7 at the plate with one RBI to begin the season before going down with the neck issue. In order to make room for Jung on the 26-man roster, the Rangers optioned Ezequiel Duran to Triple-A Round Rock.

  • Royals' Hunter Renfroe: On bench Tuesday

    Renfroe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    Renfroe started eight of Kansas City's first 10 games of the season but has gone 5-for-29 with three walks, a double and nine strikeouts in 32 plate appearances. MJ Melendez will shift to right field while Mark Canha receives a start in left.

  • Logan O'Hoppe DH | TEX

    Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Getting night off Tuesday

    O'Hoppe is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    O'Hoppe has started seven of the Angels' first nine games to open the year, but Travis d'Arnaud will catch Kyle Hendricks in Tuesday's series opener. O'Hoppe had a monster weekend series against the Guardians, homering in all three games versus Cleveland. On the young season, O'Hoppe is slashing .345/.367/.862 with five long balls, nine RBI and five runs scored across 30 trips to the plate.

  • Matt Wallner RF | MIN

    Twins' Matt Wallner: Sitting versus lefty

    Wallner is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

    Wallner has hit in the leadoff spot in nine of the first 10 games to open the season, but he's getting the night off with left-hander Cole Ragans on the mound for Kansas City. Harrison Bader is getting the start in right field and batting eighth. Wallner has slashed .303/.410/.485 with four doubles, one triple, one RBI and five runs scored through 39 plate appearances to open the season.

  • Willi Castro 2B | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Getting day off Tuesday

    Castro is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

    Castro has started and finished all 10 games to open the season, but he's getting a breather Tuesday against lefty Cole Ragans. Mickey Gasper will make the start at second base and bat ninth. Castro is slashing .235/.333/.441 with four doubles, one home run, four RBI, four runs scored and one stolen base across 39 plate appearances in the early going this season.

  • Victor Robles RF | SEA

    Mariners' Victor Robles: Likely out 12 weeks

    Robles was diagnosed with a small fracture in the humeral head of his left shoulder after an MRI on Tuesday and is expected to be sidelined at least 12 weeks, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    The injury was caused by the shoulder dislocation that he suffered while making a leaping catch into the wall/netting Sunday against the Giants. It appears Robles won't require surgery, but the injury is expected to need six weeks to heal before he can begin a six-week rehab program. Dominic Canzone was added to the big-league roster when Robles was placed on the injured list, but it was Luke Raley that received the start in right field Monday versus Houston.

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Shakes off shoulder injury

    Rivera (shoulder) has gone 3-for-12 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base in three games since being activated from Triple-A Norfolk's 7-day injured list Friday.

    Rivera had been attending spring training as a non-roster invitee but didn't appear in any Grapefruit League games after March 13 due to a sore left shoulder. The injury resulted in him being inactive when Norfolk opened its season March 28, but Rivera missed only a handful of games before being cleared for his 2025 debut. The 28-year-old boasts 341 games' worth of MLB experience, but since he no longer possesses a spot on the Orioles' 40-man roster, he may face an uphill battle to earn another look with Baltimore in 2025.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Remains out of lineup Tuesday

    Moncada (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Moncada will miss his third straight start as he tends to a thumb injury. Luis Rengifo is making another start at third base and batting second. Moncada is slashing .200/.385/.300 with a pair of doubles, four RBI and three runs scored across 26 plate appearances to begin the 2025 campaign.

  • Robert Stock SP | NYM

    Red Sox's Robert Stock: DFA'd by Boston

    The Red Sox designated Stock for assignment Tuesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    The right-hander was selected to Boston's 40-man roster and pitched against the Blue Jays on Monday, giving up one run on three hits and a walk over two innings. Stock could return to Triple-A Worcester if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

  • Red Sox's Josh Winckowski: Brought up from minors

    The Red Sox recalled Winckowski from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Winckowski will provide the bullpen with some length. The 26-year-old posted a 4.14 ERA and 60:26 K:BB over 76 innings covering six starts and 34 relief appearances with Boston last season.
