MLB Confirmed Lineups

April 8, 2026 MLB Confirmed Lineups

3 games · 3 confirmed · Updated Jul 11, 5:44 AM ET

The Almanac's Take

All three games have confirmed lineups, though Pittsburgh and Milwaukee haven't posted their sides yet, so half the grid is still thin. The sharpest spot on the board is Luis Campusano hitting eighth for San Diego — 4 HR and a 1.033 OPS from the bottom of the order is the kind of undervalued production worth circling. Over in Kansas City, Bobby Witt Jr. sits at 13 HR with a .824 OPS batting second, paired with Carter Jensen (also 13 HR) at fifth — the Royals have real thump stacked in that lineup. Boston's Willson Contreras at third, 20 HR and a .903 OPS, is the loudest individual line on the slate.
