  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Idle against left-hander

    Tellez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Francisco.

    The lefty-hitting Tellez will retreat to the bench Saturday as the Mariners prepare to face southpaw Robbie Ray. Donovan Solano will draw a start at first base as a result and bat sixth.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Goes deep in win

    Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the White Sox.

    Torkelson has carried over a strong spring training performance into the regular season, as he's now batting .345 with two homers and a 1.127 OPS across eight games. The 25-year-old is seeing regular playing time in the early going, and if he can sustain his hot start, Torkelson could challenge the 31 home runs and 94 RBI he recorded during his breakout 2023 campaign, giving him plenty of fantasy value.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: On base three times in loss

    Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a walk in Friday's loss to the Mets.

    The Blue Jays managed only four hits in total on the day, with George Springer collecting the other two. Guerrero is still looking for his first homer of 2025 and is batting .267 (8-for-30) with three doubles and three RBI, but the first baseman has reached base in all eight of Toronto's games so far. A breakout performance could come at any time.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Doubles twice in win

    Casas went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Friday's 13-9 win over St. Louis.

    Casas, who belted his first home run of the season in Thursday's win over Baltimore, followed it up with two more extra-base hits Friday. The first baseman opened the season on a 2-for-21 run, but he appears to have found his swing over the last two games.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Plates run in loss

    Encarnacion-Strand went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers.

    Encarnacion-Strand ended the Reds' 35-inning scoreless streak with a run-producing sacrifice fly in the eighth inning. It was the first productive plate appearance in a while for Encarnacion-Strand, who doesn't have a hit over his last 20 plate appearances.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Goes back-to-back for first homer

    Olson went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-0 win over Miami.

    After going hitless in his first three at-bats of the night, Olson went back-to-back with Marcell Ozuna in the seventh inning and singled to drive in two more runs in the eighth. While Olson is batting just .222 through 34 plate appearances thus far, the star first baseman does have five RBI, three doubles, three runs scored and seven walks across eight games.

  • LaMonte Wade 1B | CHW

    Giants' LaMonte Wade: Three extra-base hits Friday

    Wade went 3-for-6 with a triple, two doubles, one walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Mariners.

    Wade was 0-for16 over his first five games of the season, but it looks like his bat is waking up. He has four extra-base hits over the last two contests -- he hit his first home run of the season Wednesday in Houston and showed off with a strong game atop the order Friday. Power isn't necessarily a huge part of his game, however, as he slugged just .381 last season, though he got on base at a .380 clip last year thanks to a 15.8 percent walk rate. Wade will likely function as a strong-side platoon option at first base for the bulk of 2025, and his on-base skills position him well as a leadoff option in that role.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | BAL

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Homers again in Friday's win

    Alonso went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jays.

    Alonso did damage early, lifting a two-run blast off Kevin Gausman in the first inning to provide all the offense the Mets needed in this win. Alonso started the year 1-for-9 with three walks over the first three games, but he's logged six extra-base hits -- including three homers -- and 10 RBI over his last four contests. The first baseman should play pretty close to every day when healthy, as he got into all 162 games in 2024.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Belts first homer

    Casas went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Orioles.

    Like a few of his teammates, Casas has had a quiet start to the regular season, going 1-for-17 (.059) through his first five games. The first baseman had an encouraging finish to team's seven-game road trip though, with his two-run homer in the seventh inning giving the Red Sox breathing room en route to their first series win of the season. Casas was often given days off against left-handers last season, and he was on the bench for the lone southpaw the team has faced thus far in 2025. He'll look to build off Thursday's contributions in Boston's home opener Friday against St. Louis right-hander Erick Fedde.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Cranks first Astros homer

    Walker went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 5-2 win over Minnesota.

    Walker had gone just 3-for-24 with no extra-base hits before launching a 402-foot homer off Joe Ryan to lead off the second inning Thursday. The Astros will hope it's the first of many for Walker, who posted an .803 OPS with 26 home runs and 84 RBI in 552 plate appearances with Arizona last season.
