Lowe went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

Wednesday extended Lowe's extra-base hit streak to a modest three games, and it comes after the veteran slugger had gone just 1-for-19 in his previous five outings. Lowe entered the day with a poor 30.3 percent strikeout rate in 2025, but he's still slashing a solid .248/.325/.460 with six home runs, six doubles, 24 RBI and one stolen base over 126 plate appearances (31 games) this season.

Valdez is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Cubs on Wednesday.

With the Cubs sending southpaw Matthew Boyd to the hill, Valdez will begin Wednesday's game in the dugout while Matt Gorski starts at first base and bats sixth. Valdez is slashing .219/.324/.422 with seven runs scored, two home runs and 11 RBI over 74 plate appearances this season.

Olson went 3-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

The first baseman continues to put a slow start to the season behind him. Olson's hit safely in 11 of the last 13 games, slashing .298/.431/.532 over that stretch with three homers, seven RBI and 13 runs.

Wade went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI double and a walk during Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

Wade lined a two-run double into left field in the sixth, capping a three-run inning for San Francisco. With that, the 31-year-old infielder recorded his first extra-base hit since April 11, his fourth double of the 2025 campaign. Wade has supplied a hit in three of the Giants' last five games, slashing .200/.333/.267 with a 3:1 BB:K across 18 plate appearances during that span.

Alonso went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Alonso reached three times through the first four innings and put the Mets up 8-0 in the fourth with a ball that was launched off the second deck in left field. Alonso worked a walk for a fifth straight game and has walked 20 times in the first 30 games of the season. His 28 RBI are tied for second in all of baseball and he sits alone in second with a 1.126 OPS, only behind Aaron Judge among qualified hitters.

Toglia went 1-for-4 with a home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.

Toglia got the Rockies on the board in the second inning Tuesday with a solo shot, his third homer of the year. The slugging switch hitter now has at least one hit in nine of his last 12 outings, but Toglia's splits in home and away games could continue to define his overall fantasy appeal. Toglia is batting just .120 with one long ball, one double and four RBI over 50 at-bats on the road, but he's hitting .308 with two round trippers, three doubles and nine RBI across 52 at-bats at Coors Field.

The Padres reinstated Arraez (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

A collision with Mauricio Dubon sent Arraez to the 7-day concussion IL last week, but he's now been given the green light to return to competitive action. Jason Heyward (knee) will come off the IL alongside Arraez to replace Mason McCoy (finger) and Yuli Gurriel.

Mervis is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Mervis will take a seat Tuesday after going 1-for-2 in Monday's series opener. His absence will give Eric Wagaman a start at first base and give Ronny Simon a chance to serve as Miami's DH while batting eighth.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

It's the first day off this season for Naylor, who has slashed .318/.388/.505 with four home runs over his first 28 contests in 2025. Pavin Smith is starting at first base and batting seventh in the series opener.

Arraez (concussion) is expected to be activated from the 7-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game versus the Giants, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Arraez landed on the IL last week following a collision with the Astros' Mauricio Dubon, but he's poised to return after the minimum seven-day absence. The Padres have been using Gavin Sheets as their regular first baseman since Arraez went down, and Sheets will go back to being the club's primary designated hitter when Arraez returns.
