Naylor is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Padres on Monday.

Austin Hedges will start behind home plate Monday and bat ninth against San Diego left-hander Kyle Hart. Naylor has gone 2-for-12 with one RBI and three strikeouts across his first three outings of the 2025 season.

Ramirez (wrist) will start at third base and bat second in Monday's game against the Padres.

Ramirez suffered a sprained right wrist on a stolen-base attempt during Saturday's game against the Royals and didn't play Sunday. However, he's been cleared to return to action after just a one-day absence.

Schneemann is not in the Guardians' lineup against the Padres on Monday.

The lefty-hitting Schneemann will begin Monday's game in the dugout due to the Padres sending southpaw Kyle Hart to the mound. Gabriel Arias will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

Duran went 2-for-5 with a triple and three RBI in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Orioles.

Duran tripled home two in the second inning and delivered a runner from second base with a ninth-inning single. Going 2-for-2 with runners in scoring position (3-for-6 overall) makes him a rare bird for the Red Sox this early in the season. Duran has hit safely in four of the first five games, going 6-for-21 with a walk and two steals.

Rogers is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Monday.

Rogers will get a rest Monday while Dillon Dingler starts behind home playe and bats seventh against Mariners right-hander Emerson Hancock. Rogers has gone 2-for-7 with a triple and one run across his first two outings of the 2025 season.

Malloy will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the leadoff spot against the Mariners on Monday.

Malloy was recalled by Detroit from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, and he'll waste no time getting into his first major-league action of the season. He appeared in three games for Toledo before being called up and went 5-for-11 with two walks, one home run and five RBI.

Gonzalez started at first base and went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-5 loss to Baltimore.

Gonzalez made his first start of the season, filling in for Triston Casas against a lefty. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said during spring training that Casas would not be subject to a platoon, but he was on the bench with Boston facing its first lefty of the season. The decision to sit Casas may have more to do with his slow start. Including his pinch-hit appearance Monday, Casas is 1-for-17 with seven strikeouts.

Bubic (1-0) earned the win Monday against the Brewers. He allowed three hits and two walks while striking out eight across six scoreless innings.

Bubic beat out Daniel Lynch for the fifth starter role during spring training, and the former's performance Monday made it look like the right decision. Bubic came out firing by striking out the side in the first inning, and after escaping a bases-loaded situation in the second, he allowed only three more base runners over the next four frames and generated 15 whiffs in 95 pitches. Bubic served out of the Royals' bullpen for the past two seasons after a difficult 2022 campaign when he registered a 5.54 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 28 starts, but the southpaw was locked in Monday and will look to carry that momentum into his next start tentatively slated for this upcoming weekend against the Orioles at home.

The Tigers recalled Malloy from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Malloy wasn't able to crack the Opening Day roster despite a strong spring training, but the 25-year-old will join the big club after Detroit placed second baseman Gleyber Torres (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Monday in a corresponding move. Over 71 games with the Tigers as a rookie in 2024, Malloy slashed .203/.291/.366 with eight home runs and 21 RBI across 230 plate appearances, though he struck out at a 37 percent clip. Malloy won't be a direct replacement for Torres, but he could see some starts in the outfield or at designated hitter while all of Matt Vierling (shoulder), Parker Meadows (arm) Wenceel Perez (back) are on the IL.

The Tigers placed Torres on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left oblique strain.

Torres was removed from Friday's game versus the Dodgers and didn't play Saturday because of what the Tigers had referred to as a rib injury that initially popped up late in spring training. However, testing has apparently revealed an oblique strain. Torres will be eligible to return next week, but oblique strains typically require longer than minimum stays on the IL. Colt Keith shifted to second base in the Tigers' last game and should continue to play there while Torres is out, with Spencer Torkelson handling first base.
