  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Launches two-run shot

    Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees.

    Mountcastle, who went 0-for-18 over his six prior games, squared things up at 2-2 in the second inning, when he took Carlos Carrasco deep to left field for a two-run homer. It was Mountcastle's second home run of the season. He's started the year with a career-low .546 OPS, but perhaps his effort Wednesday is a sign of things to come for the 28-year-old first baseman.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Blasts solo homer Wednesday

    Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Baltimore.

    Goldschmidt didn't have the most efficient performance from the plate, but he made up for it in the fifth inning with a solo shot to center field off Cade Povich. Goldschmidt has seven 30-homer seasons in his career but has just two long balls on the season. However, his 42 hits and .356 batting average rank second in the majors behind teammate Aaron Judge (50 hits and .427 average).

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Idle against lefty

    Aranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    The lefty-hitting Aranda will get the night off while the Royals send southpaw Noah Cameron to the hill Wednesday. Curtis Mead will check in for Aranda at first base.

  • 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.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Getting day off versus lefty

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

    With southpaw Tyler Anderson on the hill for the Angels, the left-handed-hitting Tellez will take a seat along with switch hitter Jorge Polanco, who hasn't been batting from the right side of late while managing a side injury. Cal Raleigh will get a day off from catching and will fill in for Polanco as Seattle's designated hitter, while Donovan Solano covers Tellez's usual post at first base.

  • 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.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: First day off Wednesday

    Torkelson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston.

    It's the first day off this season for Torkelson, who is in a bit of a mini-slump in going just 4-for-31 at the dish over the last nine games. Colt Keith will play first base and bat fifth for the Tigers.

  • LaMonte Wade RF | LAA

    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.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Provides only offense Tuesday

    Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.

    The Blue Jays managed just four hits as a team, but Guerrero was able to get a hold of one off Garrett Crochet in the third for his third homer of the year. Guerrero leads the Blue Jays in home runs and RBI (14), though that's not saying a ton, as Toronto has just 15 homers this season. He's hitting just .160 over his last seven games but holds a .271 average and .368 on-base percentage so far this season.
