MLB Confirmed Lineups

April 8, 2026 MLB Confirmed Lineups

The Almanac's Take

Three games are confirmed, though Pittsburgh and Milwaukee haven't posted their lineups yet, so half the grid is still dark. The clearest spot on the board is Willson Contreras hitting third for Boston with 11 home runs and a .876 OPS — that's a catcher producing like a corner bat, and he's sitting right in the heart of a lineup we can actually see. Bobby Witt Jr. at second in the Kansas City order with 9 HR and an .824 OPS is the other name worth building around. Luis Campusano's .942 OPS batting eighth for San Diego is an unusual profile worth noting once the Pirates arm is confirmed.
