  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Homers Wednesday

    Freeman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 12-7 victory over the Marlins.

    Freeman extended the Dodgers' lead to 8-3 in the sixth inning with a 406-foot blast of Jesus Tinoco, his fifth homer of the year. The 35-year-old Freeman has been locked in at the plate, going 10-for-21 (.476) in his last six games. His slash line is up to .319/.407/.638 through 81 plate appearances this season with 17 RBI and 13 runs scored.

  • Nationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Getting back on track

    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.

  • Pirates' Enmanuel Valdez: Sitting vs. southpaw

    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.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Crosses plate three times Tuesday

    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.

  • LaMonte Wade 1B | CHW

    Giants' LaMonte Wade: Logs fourth double of 2025 in loss

    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.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | BAL

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Goes deep Tuesday

    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.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Continues to thrive at home

    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.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Activated from IL

    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.

  • Matt Mervis 1B | WAS

    Marlins' Matt Mervis: Sitting Tuesday

    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.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: First day off this season

    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.
