  • 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.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Expected to return Tuesday

    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.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Hits off tee Monday

    Reds manager Terry Francona said that Encarnacion-Strand (back) hit off a tee Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    It's the next step in the progression for Encarnacion-Strand, who was given an epidural last week as he works his way back from low-back inflammation. The infielder has several items he still needs to check off the list before a timetable for his return becomes clearer.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: Adds insurance runs

    Naylor went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta.

    Naylor knocked in two insurance runs with a seventh-inning double a half an inning after Atlanta trimmed the Diamondbacks' lead to 4-3. The three-hit effort followed a stretch during which Naylor went 1-for-15 in Arizona's four-game losing streak.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Starting rehab assignment Sunday

    Horwitz (wrist) will embark on a rehab assignment with Double-A Altoona on Sunday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Horwitz underwent surgery in February to repair an extensor tendon in his right thumb that was causing pain in his wrist, but he's finally ready for game action. Horwitz appeared in 97 games for the Blue Jays in 2024, slashing .265/.357/.433 with 12 home runs and 40 RBI in 381 plate appearances.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Pops second homer

    Toglia went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Reds.

    Toglia has come alive at the plate to begin the Rockies' homestand, collecting five hits across nine games with five RBI in the first two games. He popped his second homer of the season Saturday, taking Hunter Greene yard. Despite the recent success, Toglia is still striking out at a concerning 41.2 percent clip across 94 plate appearances.
