Deyvison De Los Santos 3B | MIA
Marlins' Deyvison De Los Santos: Headed back to minors
The Marlins optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
It was a two-day stint in the big leagues for De Los Santos, who is clearing out to make room on the roster for Leo Jimenez, who was acquired via trade from the Blue Jays on Sunday. With De Los Santos now back at Jacksonville, Connor Norby should operate as the Marlins' everyday first baseman while Christopher Morel (oblique) is shelved.

Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Mets' Bo Bichette: Struggling to begin Mets tenure
Bichette went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Pirates.
The 28-year-old infielder is already hearing boos from the fickle Citi Field faithful just three games into the year after going 1-for-14 with a 0:8 BB:K, with his lone RBI coming on a sacrifice fly. Bichette has also had a bumpy defensive adjustment to third base, committing one error and making a couple other errant throws to first. Bichette's track record -- he sported a career .294/.337/.469 slash line in seven seasons with the Blue Jays -- suggests there isn't much to worry about in the long run, but it could be a while before he gets comfortable in the New York pressure cooker.

Deyvison De Los Santos 3B | MIA
Marlins' Deyvison De Los Santos: Bangs out double in season debut
De Los Santos went 1-for-2 with a double in Sunday's win over the Rockies.
The 22-year-old got the start at first base and hit eighth in the order against southpaw Jose Quintana, and he took advantage of the matchup with a two-bagger in his first big-league at-bat of the year. De Los Santos was called up when Christopher Morel (oblique) landed on the IL, but the Marlins have plenty of other options to handle first base, including left-handed hitters Griffin Conine and Liam Hicks as well as the righty-swinging Connor Norby. De Los Santos may be stuck in a short-side platoon role unless he slugs his way into more playing time, something that's not out of the question -- over 156 career games for Triple-A Jacksonville he's launched 24 homers, including one in the Jumbo Shrimp's season opener Friday.

Andruw Monasterio 3B | BOS
Red Sox's Andruw Monasterio: Enters as pinch hitter
Monasterio went 1-for-2 with a double in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Cincinnati.
Monasterio, who made his first appearance of the regular season, pinch hit for Marcelo Mayer in the seventh inning against a right-handed reliever and remained in the game at second base. The backup gave the Red Sox some hope in the ninth inning with a one-out double, but he was stranded there. With Mayer routinely hitting the bench against left-handers, Monasterio and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are positioned to be part of a platoon at second base.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Astros' Isaac Paredes: Drives in two runs Sunday
Paredes went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored during the Astros' 9-7 win over the Angels on Sunday.
Paredes gave the Astros an 8-6 lead with an two-run double in the eighth inning, which ended up being the winning runs for Houston. He went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series, but he turned things around over the final two contests, going 3-for-9 with one walk, four RBI and three runs scored. Paredes is looking to improve off his 2025 campaign, when he slashed .254/.352/.458 with 20 home runs and 53 RBI across 438 plate appearances.

Andres Chaparro 3B | WAS
Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Headed to Triple-A
Chaparro was optioned to Triple-A Rochester following Sunday's 6-3 win over the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Chaparro started two of the team's first three games of the year, going 2-for-6 with a double, a walk and a run scored. He will now head to Rochester for the time being, opening a spot for Curtis Mead to join Washington's major-league roster after the team acquired him from the White Sox on Saturday.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN
Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Launches game-winning homer Sunday
Suarez went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox.
With the Reds trailing 2-0 in the sixth inning, Suarez put them ahead for good with a 431-foot blast off Greg Weissert. It was the 34-year-old's first homer since returning to Great American Ball Park, where he's now gone deep 102 times in his career. He's topped the 30-homer mark six times since his first full season in 2016, including three during his previous stint with Cincinnati, and should remain one of baseball's top power sources.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Cubs' Alex Bregman: Goes deep twice Sunday
Bregman went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals.
Bregman came into the contest with just a single and a walk through two games with his new team, but he broke out in a big way with his first two home runs of 2026. The third baseman went deep 18 times last regular season, which was the first time he was under 20 homers since 2021. Bregman should have the chance to produce excellent stats this year as a key piece of a strong Chicago lineup.

Kazuma Okamoto 3B | TOR
Blue Jays' Kazuma Okamoto: Launches first major-league homer
Okamoto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.
Okamoto put the Blue Jays up 4-0 with a 420-foot blast off Luis Morales in the fourth inning. The 29-year-old has carried a successful spring into his first major-league regular season, hitting safely in each of his first three contests. He totaled 248 homers across 11 seasons in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball and should be a key power bat in the heart of Toronto's lineup moving forward.

Sung-Mun Song 3B | SD
Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Rehabbing in Triple-A
Song (oblique) has gone 3-for-7 with two RBI through two rehab games with Triple-A El Paso.
Song aggravated an oblique issue in early March and opened the season on the 10-day IL. However, the South Korean utility man seems to be doing well given that he's been able to both hit and play the field with El Paso. Song appears to be on track to be activated by mid-April, though he probably won't be an everyday player while with the big-league club.
