    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Hoskins (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Pirates, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Hoskins had to depart Monday's loss to Pittsburgh because of a right hamstring injury. He underwent an MRI and is slated to receive a second opinion, so there's no word yet on a possible trip to the injured list. Owen Miller has been added to the Brewers' taxi squad in case a roster move is ultimately required. Jake Bauers will handle first base for the Brewers on Tuesday.

  • Bryce Harper 1B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Will return to lineup Wednesday

    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that Harper (migraine) will return to the lineup Wednesday against the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Harper was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup after he developed a migraine, but his symptoms abated as the game versus the Mets went along and would have been available in a pinch-hitting capacity. He was not used off the bench, as it turned out, but he will be ready to roll for Wednesday's tilt.

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Scratched from lineup with migraine

    Harper was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup versus the Mets due to a migraine, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Worth noting is that Harper was inadvertently struck in the helmet by a Tomas Nido throw back to the pitcher in Monday's game, although he remained in that contest and it's not clear whether this is related to that. Consider him day-to-day for now. The Phillies will shift Alec Bohm over to first base to cover for Harper, while Whit Merrifield will enter the lineup at third base.

  • Rockies' Elehuris Montero: Drives in three

    Montero went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored Monday against the Padres.

    Montero returned to the lineup after a two-game absence where he sat in favor of Hunter Goodman. Montero has been in a significant slump, going just 7-for-36 with a 27 percent strikeout rate across 11 contests in May. It's possible he'll continue to lose at-bats to Goodman in the short term, and he will also face additional challenges for playing time when Kris Bryant (back) is able to return.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Nabs steal in win

    Walker went 1-for-4 with a walk, one stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 6-5 win over the Reds.

    The steal was Walker's first of the year, which is a bit of a surprise since he stole 11 bases last season. He was caught stealing on his first two attempts in 2024. The first baseman has struggled in May, going 8-for-38 (.211) over 11 contests this month. He's still slashing a decent .265/.377/.437 with seven home runs, 27 RBI, 29 runs scored and five doubles over 42 contests overall.

  • Jake Bauers 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Belts grand slam

    Bauers went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Monday's loss to the Pirates.

    Bauers cut Pittsburgh's lead to 7-6 with his eighth-inning grand slam but it wasn't enough to complete the comeback. He now has four home runs this season and two in his last four appearances. He's gone 8-for-22 (.364) with nine RBI so far in May. Bauers owns a .244/.326/.476 slash line with 10 extra-base hits and 21 RBI this season.

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Headed for MRI

    Hoskins will undergo an MRI on his hamstring Tuesday morning, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Hoskins left Monday's series opener with a hamstring injury, but the severity of the issue remains unclear. Milwaukee should have a better idea of his availability going forward after reviewing Hoskins' test results.

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Lifted early vs. Pirates

    Hoskins left Monday's game against Pittsburgh after suffering a hamstring injury, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Hoskins appeared to tweak something in the bottom of the second inning after singling to right field, and he was immediately removed from the matchup. He's headed to the clubhouse for further evaluation and will be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.

  • Connor Joe 1B | PIT

    Pirates' Connor Joe: Back on bench Monday

    Joe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Joe isn't quite an everyday player for the Pirates, but he's been one of the more productive hitters in a struggling lineup this season and is gradually starting to earn steadier playing time versus right-handed pitching. He'll take a seat against Brewers righty Colin Rea in the series opener in Milwaukee, however, as the Pirates trot out a starting outfield of Bryan Reynolds, Michael Taylor and Jack Suwinski from left to right. Meanwhile, Rowdy Tellez will draw the start at first base and Andrew McCutchen will serve as Pittsburgh's designated hitter.

  • Joey Gallo 1B | WAS

    Nationals' Joey Gallo: On track to return this weekend

    Gallo (shoulder) is on track to be activated from the injured list for the weekend series in Philadelphia, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Gallo will play first base on back-to-back days with Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday and Wednesday and that's expected to be the final hurdle he needs to clear on his rehab assignment. While the Nationals are expected to have Gallo available later this week, it's uncertain how much he will play once activated.
