  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Sitting versus lefty

    Stott is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

    With left-hander MacKenzie Gore on the mound for the Nationals, Stott will come off the bench Tuesday. Edmundo Sosa is getting the nod at second base and batting seventh.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Not in lineup Tuesday

    Amador is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

    Amador will come off the bench for the second time in the last three days. Since being recalled from Triple-A earlier this month, Amador is slashing .219/.286/.406 with three doubles, one home run, three RBI and two runs scored across 36 plate appearances. Kyle Farmer is getting the nod at second base and batting seventh versus AJ Smith-Shawver.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Out of lineup versus left-hander

    Frazier is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

    It's southpaw Shota Imanaga on the bump for the Cubs, so the left-handed-hitting Frazier will grab a seat. Jared Triolo will play second base and bat eighth for the Pirates.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Resumes baseball activity

    Estrada (wrist) has resumed fielding drills and light swinging of the bat, MLB.com reports.

    Estrada fractured his wrist late in spring training and was recently shifted to the 60-day injured list. This progress is positive news, but he'll be sidelined until at least late May.

  • Matt McLain SS | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Snaps hitless run

    McLain went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over the Cardinals.

    McLain's seventh-inning single was his first hit in a week. It ended an 0-for-21 stretch that dropped his average to .157. He's had bad luck early on, as McLain is in the top tier in barrel (18.6 percent, 94th percentile) and hard-hit (53.5, 90th) rates through 20 games. Over time, results begin to correct, which suggests McLain is due for a productive stretch.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Launches first homer

    McNeil went 2-for-5 with a homer, a triple and three RBI in Monday's 19-5 victory at Washington.

    McNeil took starter Trevor Williams deep in the fifth inning, crushing the ball 420 feet for his first long ball of the season. The 33-year-old also cracked his first triple of the season in the sixth inning. McNeil made his fourth career start in center field in this game, and he could be in line to receive regular playing time there with Jose Siri (leg) out until at least June.

  • Kyle Farmer 3B | ATL

    Rockies' Kyle Farmer: Out of Colorado lineup

    Farmer is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus Atlanta.

    Farmer's playing time has been slipping lately, as he's now been in the lineup for just half of the Rockies' last eight games and just one of their last four tilts versus right-handers. Alan Trejo is at shortstop and Adael Amador is at second base in Monday's series opener.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Swipes bag to begin rehab stint

    Mauricio (knee) went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday for Single-A St. Lucie.

    After missing the entire 2024 campaign due to ACL surgery that required a follow-up procedure last August, Mauricio was brought along slowly by the Mets this spring and didn't see his first game action of the year until Sunday. The 24-year-old wasted no time demonstrating that he was fully healthy, singling up the middle in his first at-bat and promptly swiping second base. Mauricio still has a minor-league option left, so there's no guarantee he'll be added to the Mets' 26-man roster once his rehab assignment is over, but it looks like he could be ready to bolster the big-league infield within a few weeks. In his last full season in the minors in 2023, Mauricio slashed .292/.346/.506 over 116 games for Triple-A Syracuse with 23 homers and 24 steals.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Starting at keystone again Monday

    Acuna is starting at second base and batting ninth in Monday's game versus the Nationals, Andrew Tredinnick of NorthJersey.com reports.

    Acuna has now been in the lineup three times in four games since Jeff McNeil returned from the injured list, as McNeil has started in center field twice during that span and was on the bench the one time the Mets faced a lefty. If McNeil proves to be a viable option on a regular basis in center field, Acuna could find himself in the lineup often at the keystone.

  • Giants' Christian Koss: Records first career RBI

    Koss went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

    Koss lined a two-out RBI single into left field to tie the game at 2-2 in the fourth frame. The 27-year-old infielder owns a .333 batting average in his last five appearances after hitting .143 in his first seven. Koss has recorded a hit in each of the Giants' previous two games, receiving the starting nod at second base while Tyler Fitzgerald recovers from a chest contusion. Koss is now slashing .217/.280/.217 with four runs scored and a 1:8 BB:K across 26 plate appearances.
