  • Orioles' Cedric Mullins: Logs steal in Tuesday's win

    Mullins went 2-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Red Sox.

    This was Mullins' first multi-hit effort of the season. He's also logged both of his steals and four of his eight RBI over the last four contests. He's still off to a slow start, batting .188 with two home runs, a double and seven runs scored through 10 games, but it's yet to cost him any significant playing time in center field.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Absent from lineup again

    Schanuel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Schanuel has now sat out two of the last three games, and both times he's been on the bench, the Angels have faced right-handed starting pitchers. The 22-year-old probably isn't in danger of being demoted to Triple-A Salt Lake just yet, but his 2-for-31 start at the plate is beginning to cost him playing time. Brandon Drury will cover first base in Schanuel's stead.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Picks up steal in win

    Henderson went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Henderson's hits have come in bunches lately -- he has a pair of two-hit game and four hitless contests over his last six. The shortstop remains atop the Orioles' lineup amid the inconsistency at the plate. He's batting .231 with two home runs, six RBI, eight runs scored, three steals, a double and a triple through 10 contests this season.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Beginning rehab assignment

    Jansen (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

    Jansen will serve as Buffalo's designated hitter Wednesday and, if that goes well, he will catch for them Friday. It's been reported that Jansen is targeting a late-April return, so it would seem he will be with Buffalo for a little while before being activated. He's been out since mid-March with a small fracture in his right wrist.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Goes through workout Tuesday

    Caminero (quad) took batting practice and fielded grounders prior to Triple-A Durham's game Tuesday, Patrick Kinas of Westwood One Sports reports.

    Caminero is eligible for activation from the 7-day injured list now and his return looks to be imminent as long as he can avoid a setback with his left quad. The 20-year-old went 4-for-12 with a home run in his first three games for Durham before getting injured. All three starts for Caminero came at third base.

  • Gabe Speier RP | SEA

    Mariners' Gabe Speier: Tosses clean inning in return

    Speier (neck) worked around a hit and a hit-by-pitch to turn in a scoreless inning of relief Tuesday in the Mariners' 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays. He struck out one of the five batters he faced.

    Speier went unused in both of the Mariners' past two games after experiencing some neck discomfort following his most recent appearance in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Brewers. The Mariners never seemed to have much concern about Speier's health, and a couple days off was seemingly all he needed to move past the neck issue.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | KC

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: Idle versus lefty

    Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    With lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the bump for Toronto, Rojas and fellow left-handed hitter Dominic Canzone will retreat to the bench. Luis Urias will fill in for Rojas at third base, while Dylan Moore replaces Canzone in left field.

  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Heads to bench vs. lefty

    Canzone is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    With lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the bump for Toronto, Canzone, who connected for his third home run of the season in Tuesday night's loss, and fellow left-handed hitter Josh Rojas will retreat to the bench. Dylan Moore will fill in for Canzone in left field, while Luis Urias starts in place of Rojas at third base.

  • Blue Jays' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Hits bench Wednesday

    Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Kiner-Falefa will retreat to the bench for the series finale after he went 6-for-12 with two doubles, two RBI, two runs and one stolen base while starting each of Toronto's last three games. Ernie Clement will spell Kiner-Falefa at the hot corner.

  • Dahian Santos SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Dahian Santos: Still dealing with elbow issue

    Santos is on the 60-day injured list with High-A Vancouver as he continues to deal with forearm/elbow issues that plagued him last summer, Sam Dykstra of MLB.com reports.

    The 21-year-old righty was limited to 48.1 innings (12 starts) last year and he hasn't pitched in a game since July. It sounds like Santos has not had a procedure yet and is attempting to get back on the mound through rest and rehabilitation.
