Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez when 1-for-3 with a double during Friday's 2-0 win over the Royals. Ramirez is coming off a subpar 2019 season in which he hit .255 with a 806 OPS, which were his lowest numbers in both categories since the start of the 2016 season. He had a miserable beginning […]

Josh Donaldson To Bat Second Against White Sox

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson will bat second on Opening Day against the Chicago White Sox. It's a pretty tough matchup against Chicago's ace Lucas Giolito, who rebounded in a big way in 2019. Still, Giolito was significantly more susceptible to right-handed batters last year, surrendering a .712 OPS compared to just a .572 […]

Matt Carpenter In The Lineup As Designated Hitter

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter is in the Opening Day starting lineup as the designated hitter. Carpenter will hit fifth, while Tommy Edman will hit second and play third base.
