Trout went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Sunday in a 6-2 win against the Guardians.

While Trout's streak of three games with a homer came to an end, he extended his hitting streak to five games and logged his first theft of the campaign. The future Hall of Famer was once a prolific base stealer -- his career high is 49 thefts, which he logged in 2012 -- but he's been quiet on the basepaths in recent campaigns, totaling between one and six thefts in each regular season since 2020. Trout's steal Sunday and his power hitting of late suggest that he's feeling healthy this year after playing in just 29 games last season due to a torn meniscus. So far in 2025, he's slashing .188/.300/.500 with three homers, eight RBI and six runs over 40 plate appearances.

Soler went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win against Cleveland.

Soler played a key part in the Angels' win, giving the team a 3-2 lead with a solo shot to left field in the sixth inning and tacking on a run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh. The veteran slugger has gone deep in each of his past two games and is working on a modest four-game hitting streak. Soler has logged exactly one hit in each contest during the streak, but it's a step up from his slow start to the season -- he went just 3-for-17 over his first five games.

Dominguez is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Detroit.

It's the first day off this season for Dominguez, who is slashing .242/.342/.424 across his first nine contests. The Yankees will go with Cody Bellinger in left field and Trent Grisham in center for Monday's series opener.

McKinstry is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

The left-handed hitting McKinstry started Sunday's contest versus the White Sox against a lefty, but he'll begin this one on the bench as the Yankees turn to southpaw Carlos Rodon. Andy Ibanez is at third base and Manuel Margot will patrol right field for the Tigers.

Sweeney is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Yankees.

Southpaw Carlos Rodon is on the hill for the Yankees, so the left-handed hitting Sweeney will grab a seat. Javier Baez is at shortstop and batting sixth Monday.

Carpenter is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Carpenter started against a lefty Sunday against the White Sox, and one of his three homers this season came off a southpaw. However, he will begin Monday's tilt against left-hander Carlos Rodon and the Yankees on the bench. Riley Greene and Manuel Margot are on the outfield corners and Justyn-Henry Malloy is at designated hitter in the series opener.

Mercedes (undisclosed) has played in each of Single-A Fort Myers' first three games of the season, going 0-for-11 with two walks, two runs, one RBI and one stolen base.

Mercedes finished the 2024 season on Fort Myers' injured list due to an unspecified health concern, but he's operating with no restrictions to begin the 2025 campaign.

De Andrade (ankle) has appeared in each of High-A Cedar Rapids' first three games of the season, going 4-for-9 with a double and a run.

De Andrade didn't play after the middle of May last season while he recovered from a left ankle sprain, but he's entered the 2025 campaign with a clean bill of health.

The Red Sox acquired Rodriguez, a 2025 Competitive Balance Round A draft pick, and a player to be named later or cash considerations from the Brewers on Monday in exchange for right-hander Quinn Priester.

Injuries have tested Milwaukee's rotation depth in the early going, so the organization was willing to part ways with one of its better lower-level outfield prospects in Rodriguez in order to get another promising young arm in its system. After slashing .250/.343/.383 with seven home runs and six stolen bases over 110 games for Single-A Carolina in 2024, Rodriguez had gotten off to a nice start to 2025 at High-A Wisconsin, going 5-for-12 with a 1:3 BB:K in 13 plate appearances. The 19-year-old is likely to report to Boston's High-A affiliate in Greenville.

Palacios (finger) has yet to regain full grip strength with his right hand, which will further delay his return from the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

Palacios was placed on the IL prior to Opening Day after fracturing the tip of his right ring finger late in spring training. The Rays had initially been hopeful that Palacios would require an abbreviated stay on the IL, but with the utility player not healing as quickly as anticipated, an early-April return no longer looks to be in the cards. Once Palacios is able to regain full grip strength, he'll need to build up through numerous live batting practice sessions and simulated games before heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Palacios' continued absence should help extend Kameron Misner's and Jake Mangum's time with the big club.
