  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Powers home three runs in win

    Harper went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and three total RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Mets.

    Harper missed Tuesday's contest against New York due to a migraine, but he didn't show any lingering effects of the ailment upon his return to the lineup. The first baseman belted a solo homer to left field in his first at-bat, then plated a pair of runs with a double in the fifth inning. Harper had been in a mini slump coming into the game with a .190 average and just one RBI over his previous five contests, but he appears to be back on track. He's tied for eighth in the majors with 10 homers and ranks 10th with 32 RBI on the campaign.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Snaps homer drought

    Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Reds.

    Walker led off the second inning with his eighth homer of the season and first in 13 games. He entered the contest on a 1-for-16 run and is batting .217 for the month. The recent slump dropped his average to .264, but Walker still leads the team with 28 RBI.

  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Back in action Wednesday

    Harper (migraine) will start at first base and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Harper will make his return to the lineup after sitting out Tuesday's 4-0 win with what was apparently a minor migraine. Alec Bohm filled in at first base but will move back to his usual post at third base Wednesday to accommodate Harper.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting against lefty

    Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    He finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row while the Brewers bring southpaw Robert Gasser to the hill. The lefty-hitting Tellez will give way to the right-handed-hitting Connor Joe at first base.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: On bench against lefty

    Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Southpaw Martin Perez is on the bump for Pittsburgh, so the lefty-hitting Bauers will make his way to the bench for the series finale. Owen Miller will fill in at first base, which should be Bauers' primary home for the foreseeable future following Rhys Hoskins' (hamstring) move to the injured list Tuesday.

  • Connor Joe RF | SEA

    Pirates' Connor Joe: Smacks sixth homer

    Joe went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Brewers.

    Joe returned to the lineup after sitting Monday and has started nine of Pittsburgh's 12 games in May. He's hit .294 with three home runs, seven runs scored and seven RBI in that span, and he lifted his sixth long ball of the season Monday. Joe should continue to get regular run at both first base and in right field as one of the Pirates' more productive hitters.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Mashes fifth homer

    Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Cubs.

    After hitting the ball hard most of the early part of the season with little to show for it, Olson got rewarded for his efforts Tuesday, driving in his first run with a first-inning double that had an exit velocity of 105.2 mph before he belted a three-run bomb off Jameson Taillon in the fourth that left his bat at 108.2 mph. Over the last eight games, Olson is batting .310 (9-for-29) with two of his five homers on the season as he gets back into his 2023 form.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Logs steal Tuesday

    Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Angels.

    Goldschmidt has gone 6-for-19 (.316) over the last four games, adding three RBI and three runs scored in that span, though he's also struck out 10 times. Any progress is a positive for the first baseman -- he went 0-for-27 over seven games to begin May. On the year, he's at a .205/.287/.282 slash line with three home runs, 14 RBI, 19 runs scored and two steals through 40 contests.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting Tuesday

    Tellez isn't in the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers.

    Tellez has recorded just one hit across his last 22 plate appearances in an eight-game span. In his absence, Connor Joe will start at first base and bat cleanup.

  • Owen Miller 2B | CHC

    Brewers' Owen Miller: Returns to majors

    The Brewers recalled Miller from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    With Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed for the injured list, Miller will come up from Nashville to give the Brewers additional bench depth. Miller will likely platoon with Jake Bauers at first base while Hoskins is out, though Miller's defensive versatility could allow him to make an occasional start elsewhere.
