The Yankees placed Mark Teixeira on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday with a strained right hamstring, and after being limited to 15 games last season because of injuries, the veteran first baseman is beyond frustrated by his recent luck.

Every lineup, every day, as they are made public by the clubs.

After beating the Angels in his club-record seventh Opening Day start, Mariners ace Felix Hernandez will be back on the mound Saturday afternoon against another familiar AL West foe. For the A’s, Dan Straily will take the mound following Friday night’s postponement.

Mike Trout, Josh Hamilton and Kole Calhoun went deep to lead the Angels to an 11-1 victory over the Astros on Friday night at Minute Maid Park. It was the Halos’ first victory of the 2014 season.

In a pitching rematch of Game 3 starters from last October’s National League Division Series, Pittsburgh’s Francisco Liriano and St. Louis’ Joe Kelly are set to duel again at PNC Park on Saturday night.

The Bucs got in the first punch on Friday in this year’s heavyweight National League Central bout, and it was an uppercut, a 12-2 triumph of power, defensive flash and Gerrit Cole.

Friday night’s game between the A’s and Mariners at O.co Coliseum was postponed due to poor field conditions. No makeup date was announced, but both teams voted to not play a doubleheader on Saturday or Sunday, electing to reschedule the game for later this season.

The Padres will send their Opening Day starter, Andrew Cashner, to the mound for the second time this season as the Marlins counter with their own Opening Day starter, Jose Fernandez.

Giancarlo Stanton’s two-run homer set the stage for another big offensive output by the Marlins, who went on to defeat the Padres, 8-2, at Marlins Park on Friday.

Rangers outfielder Michael Choice’s right-handed bat will be in the lineup on Saturday against the Rays’ David Price. It will be Choice’s first start of the season.

Masahiro Tanaka settled down after a bumpy opening act to his big league career, retiring 13 of the last 14 batters he faced and striking out eight to lead the Yankees to a 7-3 victory over the Blue Jays on Friday night at Rogers Centre.

Madison Bumgarner has found a comfort zone against the Dodgers. He’s 8-3 with a 2.58 ERA against them, including 3-1, 1.93 last year. The same can’t be said of Dodgers starter Paul Maholm, who’s 2-3 with a 4.06 ERA in 10 lifetime appearances against San Francisco.

Charlie Blackmon gave the D-backs reason to fear his beard Friday, when he went a career-best 6-for-6, including three doubles, a two-run homer and five RBIs to lead the Rockies to a 12-2 victory in their Coors Field opener in front of a sellout crowd 49,130.

While the baseball world might be excited to watch Julio Teheran oppose Stephen Strasburg on Saturday night at Nationals Park, Braves third baseman Chris Johnson is among the position players who are not necessarily looking forward to the challenge that awaits them.

Saturday’s duel at Wrigley Field is between Phillies left-hander Cliff Lee and righty Jeff Samardzija.

A pair of triples brought the A’s from behind on Thursday night, and Coco Crisp’s 12th-inning homer won it for them in a thrilling 3-2 walk-off victory over the Mariners at the O.co Coliseum.

At the urging of A’s manager Bob Melvin, crew chief Fieldin Culbreth called for a replay review for possible violation of the collision rule on a play at the plate during the fifth inning of Oakland’s series opener vs. Seattle on Thursday night. The original ruling that Mariners catcher Mike Zunino did not block the plate would stand.
