  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Rays' Luke Raley: Has first three-hit game of season

    Raley went 3-for-5 with one double, one home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the White Sox.

    This was Raley's best game at the plate since April 3 against Washington, when he smacked two homers. That was the outfielder's only other multi-hit game of the year. The 28-year-old will look to keep improving on his .214/.286/.536 slash line, but he does have five home runs and 12 RBI in 19 games.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Mashes seventh homer of season

    Diaz went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the White Sox.

    Diaz went deep with a 380-foot shot to right field in the seventh inning. The first baseman is well on his way to crushing his career high of 14 homers in a season, which he hit in 2019. The 31-year-old needed 307 at-bats to reach that mark that year, while he's already reached half that total in just 92 plate appearances so far this season.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Doubles twice Wednesday

    Guerrero went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

    Guerrero extended Toronto's lead to 3-0 with a two-run, two-out double in the third inning. The 24-year-old first baseman has hit safely in six straight games, going 8-for-25 with two homers and four doubles in that span. Guerrero is off to another fast start this season, slashing .333/.407/.535 with five home runs, 15 RBI and 18 runs scored through 113 plate appearances.

  • Ryan Noda 1B | BAL

    Athletics' Ryan Noda: Sitting against Angels

    Noda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Noda is out against southpaw Patrick Sandoval and the Angels on Wednesday. Jesus Aguilar is starting at first base with Shea Langeliers operating as the designated hitter.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Blasts two-run homer in first

    Naylor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Rockies.

    After German Marquez walked Jose Ramirez with two outs, Naylor hit a two-run blast in the first inning to give the Guardians an early lead. He hit the ball hard in his second plate appearance, but Kris Bryant flagged it down on a nice play in right field. Naylor singled his third time up, giving him five multi-hit games this season, but he struck out with the bases loaded in the seventh. He continues to split time between first base and designated hitter and is starting to heat up again, with hits in four of his last five starts, after managing just one hit and five walks over his previous 39 plate appearances.

  • Jose Abreu 1B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Abreu: Power still lacking

    Abreu went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Rays.

    Abreu tallied an RBI double and came around to score in the fifth inning of Tuesday's win. He now has at least one hit in seven of his last eight starts, which has resulted in a .273 average. Even with that positive production, he has only two extra-base hits in that span and four total on the campaign across 105 plate appearances. Overall, Abreu has maintained a 60 wRC+ and .256 wOBA.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | CIN

    Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Homers Tuesday

    Lowe went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Reds.

    Lowe opened the scoring with a solo home run off Luke Weaver in the first inning. He'd add a double to lead off the fourth. The multi-hit game snaps a stretch of seven contests without an extra-base hit for Lowe. The 27-year-old first baseman is slashing .253/.308/.432 with three home runs and 16 RBI through 104 plate appearances this season following a breakout 2022 campaign.

  • Ryan Noda 1B | BAL

    Athletics' Ryan Noda: Delivers as in-game replacement

    Noda entered Monday's extra-inning win over the Angels as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and remained in the game at first base, going 1-for-1 with a two-run double, a walk and two runs.

    Noda drew the base on balls in his pinch-hit plate appearance and eventually came around to score the tying run on Brent Rooker's base-loaded walk later in the frame. Noda then delivered two key runs himself with his 10th-inning double, which snapped an 8-8 tie and gave the Athletics a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The 27-year-old has now reached safely in 11 of the last 12 games, and although he's still carrying just a .216 average, he boasts an elite .394 on-base percentage thanks in large part to a 22.7 percent walk rate.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Mashes third homer

    Casas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Orioles.

    He opened the scoring in the second inning by taking Dean Kremer deep to right-center field on a blast that left his bat at 111 mph and traveled an estimated 426 feet. Casas has struggled badly to begin the season -- over his last 50 plate appearances he's slashing a brutal .103/.300/.205 -- but the 23-year-old's power has never been in question. Of his nine hits so far in 2023, he has three doubles and three homers.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Strong effort in loss

    Pasquantino went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Pasquantino has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 9-for-24 (.375) with three extra-base hits over that span. The first baseman's impressive start to the year -- a .291/.391/.532 slash line with four home runs and seven doubles -- has earned him an everyday role. He's added seven RBI and 11 runs scored over 23 contests.
