April 5, 2026 MLB Confirmed Lineups

2 games · 2 confirmed · Updated Jul 20, 2:06 AM ET

The Almanac's Take

Only two games on the board today, and just the home sides are confirmed — Cubs and Padres lineups haven't posted yet, so half the slate is still blind. The most interesting slot in what's available: Willson Contreras hitting cleanup for Boston with 11 home runs and a .852 OPS, the kind of production that usually rides higher in an order. Cleveland's Chase DeLauter is sitting second with 7 home runs and a .766 OPS, a solid spot for a power bat. Check back once Chicago and San Diego submit — the read changes significantly when pitching matchups lock in.
