Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored, a stolen base and a walk in Monday's win over the Reds.

Ramirez singled in his first career MLB at-bat and came around to score during the second inning. His first extra-base knock was a ground-rule double in the seventh. Ramirez got the start behind the plate and his batterymate, Max Meyer, fired six shutout frames with 14 punchouts. Ramirez is one of the team's top prospects and is already building a strong case for regular playing time.

Nido is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Monday's game against the Padres.

Nido will give Dillon Dingler a breather, as the latter started both Saturday and Sunday behind the plate. Nido is Detroit's backup catcher for the time being with Jake Rogers (oblique) on the injured list, and the veteran has played well in a small sample, collecting four hits in nine at-bats so far.

Dingler is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

Dingler started both Saturday and Sunday behind the plate after getting a rest Friday, and he'll retreat to the bench in favor of Tomas Nido on Monday. The 26-year-old is Detroit's top catching option at the moment with Jake Rogers (oblique) on the injured list, while Nido provides veteran depth. Dingler figures to return to the lineup Tuesday.

Rogers (oblique) played catch at Comerica Park on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Rogers tossed the ball around with fellow rehabber Austin Meadows (shoulder), who just recently began a throwing program. The catcher is expected to be out until early May as he recovers from a left oblique strain.

The Marlins placed Brantly (lat) on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Brantly has been diagnosed with a strained right lat. The Marlins have promoted top catching prospect Agustin Ramirez to take Brantly's place on the roster.

The Marlins recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

One of Miami's top prospects, Ramirez was acquired from the Yankees in the Jazz Chisholm trade last summer. The 23-year-old is now set to make his MLB debut after slashing .254/.313/.479 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 13 runs scored and five stolen bases across 80 plate appearances at the Triple-A level. In a corresponding move, the Marlins placed Rob Brantly (lat) on the 10-day injured list.

The Athletics could elect to wait until Wednesday to promote Kurtz to the major-league roster with the team set to face a left-handed pitcher Tuesday against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

News broke Monday afternoon that Kurtz's promotion was imminent, but Gallegos later reported that the 22-year-old may need to wait until Wednesday to make his big-league debut. The Athletics will presumably have more information to share on Kurtz's call-up closer to first pitch Tuesday.

Schmitt has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 oblique strain and is expected to miss one month, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Schmitt was officially placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, though the extent of the injury wasn't truly known until Monday when he underwent an MRI. This news confirms that he'll miss more than the 10-day minimum and is looking at a potential return in mid-to-late May.

Walker is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Walker hit his second home run of the season this past weekend against the Padres, but he's just 3-for-26 across his last eight contests and is slashing only .156/.253/.260 on the season. Zach Dezenzo is at first base and hitting ninth for the Astros.

The Athletics are set to promote Kurtz from Triple-A Las Vegas prior to Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Kurtz has slashed a robust .321/.385/.655 with seven home runs with Las Vegas this season and will make his major-league debut after racing through the minors. Kurtz is likely to split time between designated hitter and first base with Tyler Soderstrom, resulting in Brent Rooker seeing more starts in left field.

Arraez (concussion) is expected to be placed on the 7-day injured list, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Arraez is dealing with concussion symptoms following his collision with Mauricio Dubon on Sunday. Arraez was stretchered off the field and taken to the hospital for further evaluation. He's since posted on social media that everything checked out fine, but the Padres are going to play it safe with their first baseman and let him rest this week. Connor Joe, Yuli Gurriel and Gavin Sheets will be candidates for increased playing time.

Vaughn is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.

It's a day off for Vaughn, who had started every game since April 4. Nick Maton is covering first base and batting leadoff for the White Sox, while Andrew Benintendi is getting at start at designated hitter.

Stott went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Monday's loss to the Mets.

Stott was 1-for-4 with a single before hammering a clutch three-run shot off of Edwin Diaz in the ninth inning. However, it wasn't enough to complete the comeback and the Phillies fell 5-4. Stott snapped a 17-game homerless drought with his second of the year. He's slashing .295/.356/.449 with 13 RBI and seven extra-base hits through 20 games.

Torres went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 6-4 win over the Padres.

Batting leadoff, Torres helped set the table for the Tigers, and he pushed his batting average above .300 in the process. The infielder has exclusively batted first or second through 11 appearances this year, and if he keeps getting on base at a healthy clip, Torres could be in line for a big offensive season, particularly when it comes to runs.

Stovall (hamstring) is 4-for-13 with two RBI, one stolen base and four runs scored in four games at High-A Dayton this season.

Stovall was held back to participate in extended spring training after suffering a hamstring injury this spring, but he's returned to full strength and has been sent out to begin his 2025 minor-league campaign with the Dragons. He's been able to get on base at will so far, drawing six walks in four matchups.

The Diamondbacks activated Alexander (oblique/hip) from the 10-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno.

Alexander initially went on the IL to begin the season due to an oblique strain and more recently suffered a hip injury on his rehab assignment. He's recovered from both injuries now but will remain at Reno rather than join the major-league club.

Villar went 1-for-4 with a run scored during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Angels.

The 28-year-old infielder made his first appearance of the season, joining the 26-man roster after Casey Schmitt (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Villar lined a two-out single into left field in the sixth frame before coming around to score on a two-run homer by Sam Huff. Villar played in 15 games at Triple-A Sacramento before joining the active roster, slashing .368/.439/.439 with eight runs scored, seven RBI, a home run and an 8:13 BB:K across 66 plate appearances.

The Yankees recalled Vivas from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

He's taking the roster spot vacated by Trent Grisham, who was placed on the paternity leave list. Vivas will likely stick around only until Grisham returns later this week.

Wagaman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a steal in Monday's win over the Reds.

Wagaman's third homer of the year was a solo shot in the fifth inning. He later singled and stole a base in the seventh. Wagaman is on a nine-game hitting streak, going 13-for-33 (.394) with six extra-base hits during that span. His season OPS is up to .815 through 71 plate appearances.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a homer and four RBI in Monday's 6-4 win against the Yankees.

The All-Star third baseman opened the game's scoring when he cranked a 390-foot, three-run homer off New York starter Clarke Schmidt. Ramirez later cracked an RBI single in the sixth inning to drive in Cleveland's final run of the evening. The 32-year-old is off to another superb start, slashing .276/.337/.526 with five homers, three steals, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored in 89 plate appearances.

Baez will start in center field and bat seventh in Monday's game versus the Padres.

Baez has seen action in center field in three games this season with the Tigers, but this will be his first-ever start at any outfield position at the major-league level. He's expected to play the position frequently while Parker Meadows (shoulder) continues to recover, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News.

Vientos (groin) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Vientos was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Cardinals and will miss a second straight start, though he did take ground balls Monday and is scheduled to hit later in the afternoon, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. With Vientos still idle, Brett Baty will make the start at third base and bat eighth against Aaron Nola.

The Tigers recalled Jung from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Jung has slashed .239/.409/.463 with three homers over his first 19 games at Toledo this season. He's starting at third base for the Tigers on Monday and could see regular reps there against right-handed pitching. The 24-year-old played in 34 contests with Detroit last season, hitting .241/.362/.304 with zero home runs and a 30.9 percent strikeout rate.

Jung joined the Tigers at Comerica Park prior to Monday's game against the Padres, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

There's no word yet on if Jung will be recalled to the active roster or is just in Detroit as a precaution, but Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) did exit Sunday's game with a hamstring issue. Jung failed to make the Opening Day roster but has slashed .239/.409/.463 with three homers over his first 19 games at Triple-A Toledo.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI and a walk in Monday's win over the Phillies.

For the second straight day, Lindor popped a leadoff homer to spark the Mets' offense. He then hammered a three-run shot in the seventh inning. The star shortstop had one long ball through 18 games but has since gone deep four times in his last four appearances. Lindor is slashing .284/.340/.500 with 16 runs scored and nine extra-base hits through 100 plate appearances.

Johnson (knee) went 2-for-5 with a double and one run scored during Sunday's game against Double-A Somerset.

Johnson picked up a minor knee injury during Friday's matchup against the Patriots, but it only sidelined the 20-year-old for one game. His quick return to the field is positive news for the organization, which hopes to see the young prospect take another step forward in 2025 after struggling in his brief taste of action at Double-A a season ago.

Sweeney is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Monday against the Padres, and he could see more time there with Javier Baez set to be the team's primary center fielder for the time being, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News.

Sweeney was already seeing plenty of time at short, though he was getting some days off against lefties, with Baez picking up starts up the middle. However, with Baez set to focus more on center field, at least until the likes of Parker Meadows (shoulder) and Wenceel Perez (back) are able to return, Sweeney may have to cover short more frequently in the near term, including in matchups against southpaws. He'll face San Diego righty starter Randy Vasquez on Monday.

The Padres recalled McCoy from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

The move corresponds with the Padres placing Luis Arraez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list. McCoy wasn't able to crack the Opening Day roster and started the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .328/.425/.522 with two stolen bases, 13 runs scored, one home run and 16 RBI in 81 plate appearances. He appeared in 19 regular-season games (16 starts) for the Padres in 2024, all at shortstop.

Story went 3-for-4 with a run scored and one RBI in Monday's 4-2 victory over the White Sox.

After receiving a breather Sunday, Story returned in this early Patriots' Day tilt and produced his fourth three-hit game of the season. The 32-year-old shortstop has been electric of late, batting .439 (18-for-41) with three home runs, 11 RBI and five runs scored over his last 10 games. Overall, Story is slashing .337/.366/.528 with five homers, six steals, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored in 93 plate appearances.

The White Sox placed Meidroth on the 10-day injured list Monday with right thumb inflammation.

Meidroth had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to the injury. He revealed Monday that it's something he's been dealing with for a few weeks, dating back to when he was still at Triple-A Charlotte, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com. It's unclear how long he might be sidelined. Chicago is likely to use Jacob Amaya and Lenyn Sosa as its primary middle infielders while Meidroth is sidelined.

McKinstry went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double and one run scored and RBI apiece in Monday's 6-4 victory over San Diego.

The 29-year-old drew his sixth consecutive start and produced his second consecutive three-hit performance, falling a homer shy of the cycle. Thanks to the three-bagger he laced in the first inning, McKinstry is now tied for the MLB lead in triples with Mickey Moniak at three. The Detroit utility man is now slashing .314/.424/.471 with a homer, a steal and 12 RBI and runs scored apiece across 86 plate appearances.

Mitchell is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Giants on Monday.

San Francisco is sending left-hander Robbie Ray to the hill, so Mitchell will begin Monday's game in the dugout while Isaac Collins joins Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio in the outfield. Mitchell has begun the season slashing .222/.295/.333 with one stolen base, seven runs scored and three RBI in 62 plate appearances.

The Diamondbacks optioned McCarthy to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

McCarthy is a dreadful 3-for-41 (.073) at the plate this season and had been displaced on the center field hierarchy by Alek Thomas. He'll head to Reno, where he will play every day and try to get back on track offensively. Thomas will now be the Diamondbacks' primary center fielder.

Varsho (shoulder) will move his rehab assignment from Single-A Dunedin to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Varsho went 0-for-6 with two strikeouts in two outings Single-A, but he's progressed enough in his recovery from right shoulder surgery in September to continue rehabbing in Triple-A. The 28-year-old outfielder will be evaluated by the Blue Jays later this week, and there's a chance he could be activated from the 10-day injured list during this weekend's series against the Yankees.

Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Monday that Siri (leg) is expected to be sidelined 8-to-10 weeks, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Siri suffered a left tibia fracture last week and has already been placed on the 10-day injured list. The timeline puts Siri out until mid-to-late June. Tyrone Taylor has been making regular starts as the center fielder with Siri out, and Jeff McNeil (oblique) is also being cross trained in the outfield during his rehab assignment in the minors.

Carpenter (hamstring) is not in Monday's lineup versus the Padres but is not expected to need a stint on the 10-day injured list, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

It's possible Carpenter's status changes if he doesn't recover as quickly as hoped from right hamstring soreness, but for now the Tigers believe he's well enough to serve as a designated hitter soon. Riley Greene and Zach McKinstry are in the corner outfield spots for the Tigers on Monday, while Colt Keith will be the designated hitter.

Schwellenbach tossed seven innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Monday, allowing three runs (two earned) on eight hits and no walks while striking out five batters.

Schwellenbach gave up a pair of runs in the second inning, but he recovered from that frame to allow only one more run over the remainder of his outing. The righty mostly pitched to contact, notching just nine whiffs and a modest five punchouts, which helped him get through seven innings on an efficient 92 pitches. This was a strong bounce-back performance by Schwellenbach after he yielded a season-high six runs over 4.2 frames against Toronto in his previous appearance. That performance against the Blue Jays was the only time Schwellenbach has struggled so far this season, as he otherwise has notched a quality start in each of his other four outings and holds a 2.56 ERA overall.

Megill (3-2) allowed a hit and four walks over 5.1 scoreless innings Monday, striking out 10 and earning a win against Philadelphia.

Megill mowed through the Phillies and produced his first double-digit strikeout performance since his 2021 rookie campaign. Outside of a bases-loaded jam in the third inning, he didn't face much of a threat despite throwing only 53 of 92 pitches for strikes. Megill generated a season-high 14 whiffs. He dropped his ERA to a terrific 1.09 with a 30:11 K:BB through 24.2 frames. Megill's next start is expected to be in Washington this weekend.

Nola (0-5) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks over 6.1 innings Monday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Mets.

Nola gave up a leadoff homer to Francisco Lindor and a solo shot to Jesse Winker in the second inning. Nola didn't run into any more trouble until the seventh inning when he put two runners on base and was charged with both runs after being removed from the contest. It was his longest outing of the year and just the second time he completed at least six frames. Nola has produced an unsightly 6.43 ERA with a 31:11 K:BB through 28 innings. He's currently lined up for a road start against the Cubs this weekend.

Lodolo (2-2) yielded three runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.2 innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against Miami.

Lodolo gave up two runs through four frames before Eric Wagaman launched a solo homer in the fifth inning. After beginning the season with three straight quality starts, Lodolo has failed to meet that benchmark in his last two outings. He commanded the zone well by throwing 71 of 99 pitches for strikes, but forced only 11 whiffs. Lodolo still owns a strong 2.79 ERA with an 18:4 K:BB through 29 frames. His next start is expected to be this weekend in Colorado.

Meyer (2-2) allowed five hits over six shutout frames Monday, striking out 14 and earning a win over Cincinnati.

Meyer was nothing short of dominant in a career performance Monday. He gave up only one extra-base hit and didn't face much trouble outside of a two-on, one-out situation in the fifth inning. He fired 69 of 92 pitches for strikes and generated 24 whiffs. His slider alone forced 16 whiffs on just 21 swings. Meyer has punched out at least seven batters in four of his five starts this season and has not walked more than two in any of those outings. He's sporting an impressive 2.10 ERA with a 41:7 K:BB through 30 innings. Meyer is currently in line to start in Seattle this weekend.

Montero did not factor into the decision in Monday's 6-4 win over the Padres, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and four walks over 1.1 innings. He struck out three.

Montero slogged through this 91-pitch performance that saw him match a career worst in issuing four free passes. The San Diego lineup set the tone in the first inning, generating a run on two hits and a walk, as Montero couldn't manage a clean inning. The 24-year-old has pitched to a 7.71 ERA and 1.93 WHIP while allowing four homers across 9.1 innings. After making two starts, he looks bound for the minors again as Montero received the likely temporary promotion to give the Detroit rotation extra rest.

Diaz allowed a run on one hit in one inning during Monday's win over Philadelphia. He struck out two and earned a save.

While Diaz was only charged with one run, he served up a three-run blast to Bryson Stott after inheriting two runners from Max Kranick. It was the first home run allowed by Diaz since April 9 and snapped a three-inning scoreless streak. Despite his 5.59 ERA, he's converted each of his six save chances this season.

Hanifee (1-0) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Monday against the Padres. He allowed one hit and struck out two.

After recording his first hold of the season in his last appearance Saturday, Hanifee notched his first win of the year Monday. The righty allowed an earned run in each of his first two 2025 outings, but since then, he's rattled off eight straight appearances without allowing any earned runs. Overall, Hanifee has a strong 1.54 ERA across 11.2 innings out of Detroit's bullpen.

Tinoco threw a perfect inning and earned a save against the Reds on Monday.

Tinoco had no trouble retiring Cincinnati's 7-8-9 hitters in order to close out the 6-3 victory. He threw nine of 11 pitches for strikes to earn his second save in as many days. Tinoco has delivered four straight scoreless innings after coughing up two runs April 12 in his first appearance after a stint on the injured list.

Wicks was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, per MLB's transaction log.

Wicks surrendered a pair of unearned runs over two innings Sunday against the Diamondbacks and will now look to get back on track in the minors. The Cubs have yet to announce a corresponding move.

Vest picked up the save in Monday's 6-4 win against the Padres, pitching a clean inning with one strikeout.

After both Tommy Kahnle (18 pitches) and Tyler Holton (28 pitches) appeared in Sunday's loss, Vest was called upon to polish off this win. The 29-year-old righty performed admirably, setting down the side in order on 10 pitches, nine of which were strikes. While Kahnle and Holton are the best candidates for saves in the Detroit bullpen, the closer situation is far from settled. Vest, with his stellar 0.93 ERA and 0.62 WHIP across 9.2 innings, is likely to see save opportunities here and there throughout the season.

Smith collected the save in Monday's 6-4 victory over the Yankees, pitching a scoreless inning while allowing one hit and no walks. He struck out two.

Smith neatly retired the side on 11 pitches, which included nine strikes. The 25-year-old completed the feat in style, striking out Aaron Judge swinging to end the game. Smith earned the save chance because Emmanuel Clase had pitched on three consecutive days prior to Monday. Despite the Cleveland closer's unsightly 7.84 ERA over 10.1 innings, Smith will likely remain in a setup role for the time being.

Manager Aaron Boone expects Rice (elbow) to be back in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Guardians, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Rice has missed his club's last two matchups due to a bruised left elbow. The team will presumably give the first baseman another look Tuesday morning before making a final decision on his availability for the second game of the series.

Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Monday's 5-4 win versus the Yankees.

Manzardo went back-to-back with Jose Ramirez in the third inning, launching a 366-foot solo shot off starter Clarke Schmidt. The Washington State product has now gone yard in three straight games. Manzardo is also riding a five-game hit streak over which he's hit .333 (6-for-18) with six RBI and three runs scored.

Rice (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game in Cleveland.

It's the second straight start Rice has missed after he sustained a left elbow contusion as a result of a pair of hit-by-pitches in Saturday's game against the Rays. He took some swings pregame and could be available off the bench, per Greg Joyce of the New York Post. Aaron Judge will receive a second straight start at designated hitter Monday, while Pablo Reyes is getting the call in right field.

Steer started at first base and went 2-for-6 with a walk, a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 24-2 win over the Orioles.

Steer, who has been limited to designated hitter due to a right shoulder injury, made his first start in the field Sunday. He entered the contest batting .111 with three RBI through 15 games, suggesting the shoulder had a negative impact. It's unclear if Steer is able to play more first base. He's served at third base and in the outfield in past seasons.

Pederson was held out of the starting lineup against a right-hander Sunday against the Dodgers.

The hot-hitting Josh Smith filled in at designated hitter against a right-hander, which has been Pederson's role. Unfortunately for Pederson, a season-opening slump (3-for-55, .055) may cost him some starts in the short term.

Manzardo went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning victory against the Pirates.

The 24-year-old drew his fourth start of the season at first base and blasted a long ball for the second consecutive day. Manzardo took southpaw reliever Joey Wentz deep in the seventh inning to stretch Cleveland's lead to 4-1. Manzardo is now slashing .212/.321/.545 with six homers, 16 RBI and 10 runs scored over 81 plate appearances.
