- Only one division rivalry game is scheduled today, featuring the Diamondbacks visiting the reigning World Series Champion Dodgers in Los Angeles.
- Tyler O’Neill aims to extend his remarkable streak of hitting home runs on Opening Day for the sixth consecutive year, playing for the Orioles against the Twins at Camden Yards.
- Twins pitcher Joe Ryan, coming off a strong 2025 season, will try to prevent O’Neill’s streak from continuing, despite having allowed a significant number of home runs last season.
- O’Neill is looking to bounce back from an injury-plagued 2025 season where his performance was notably below his usual standards.
