MLB Confirmed Lineups

May 3, 2026 MLB Confirmed Lineups

The Almanac's Take

Only two games on the board and both visiting lineups are still unconfirmed, so treat everything here as half a slate. The most eyebrow-raising spot: Byron Buxton is leading off for Minnesota with 17 home runs and a .844 OPS — that kind of power at the top of the order is unusual enough to anchor a Twins stack if Toronto's lineup comes in soft. Boston's confirmed side has Willson Contreras hitting second at .852 OPS and 11 home runs, which is a real number for a catcher this early in the year. Check back once Houston and Toronto post — the read shifts depending on who they're throwing out there.
