  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Swipes another bag Sunday

    Albies went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

    The second baseman only has two stolen bases on the season, but they came in back-to-back games this past weekend in Tampa Bay. Albies has hit safely in six straight games and eight of 10 to kick off April, batting .286 (12-for-42) so far this month with two doubles, two homers, five RBI and six runs.

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Thriving in minors

    Through 65 plate appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Kim is slashing .293/.359/.603 with three home runs, seven doubles, a triple, 16 runs, 13 RBI and four stolen bases.

    After signing Kim to a three-year, $12.5 million contract in early January, the Dodgers opted to have the Korean infielder begin his professional career in the minors. Kim has taken the assignment in stride, as he's collected at least one hit in 11 of his 14 contests with OKC so far. Kim isn't projected to be much of a power hitter in the majors, but he's defied that expectation of late, smashing three home runs -- including a 462-footer -- over his past three games. There was always a strong likelihood that Kim would see the majors this season, and his time could come relatively soon if he continues to succeed against minor-league pitching.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Could miss more than minimum time

    Cronenworth (ribs) could miss a month or more due to a non-displaced fracture in his ribs, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Cronenworth was plunked in the ribs by a pitch April 6, but he was in the lineup the following day and even hit a homer. The second baseman was pulled from the Padres' next game, however, and the team initially said Cronenworth experienced cramping in his ribs. However, a subsequent evaluation revealed a non-displaced fracture, and Cronenworth was consequently placed on the IL. Manager Mike Shildt wouldn't put a timeline on Cronenworth's return when asked about the injury, but Sanders notes that Lars Nootbaar missed about a month after suffering a similar injury last season and that a physician recommended 6-to-8 weeks off for Aaron Judge after the slugger was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture in his ribs in 2020. Shildt did express some optimism about Cronenworth's outlook, saying "it's a matter of getting some of the fluids and the healing to take place, and then it's a matter of his functionality. And then hopefully it doesn't take too long. And then it's unlike a pitcher where he has to get ramped up as much we can. Get him some at bats and get him back on the field." That being said, it seems unlikely that Cronenworth will be ready to return when first eligible April 19.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Hitless in season debut

    Amador went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Sunday against the Padres.

    Amador was summoned to the majors Sunday as Tyler Freeman (oblique) landed on the injured list and Amador hit ninth while starting at second base. While he didn't make an impact with the bat, he did make a nice play with his glove. It's unclear how much Amador will play as Kyle Farmer has served as Colorado's primary second baseman, but Amador possesses an intriguing power-speed profile and is capable of making consistent contact.

  • Giants' Christian Koss: Logs first career hit Sunday

    Koss went 1-for-4 with a run scored during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Yankees.

    Koss started at second base for the third time this season, recording his first big-league hit before coming around to score on a three-run home run by Jung Hoo Lee in the sixth frame. Koss has played in five games during the 2025 campaign, scoring two runs across 11 plate appearances. The 27-year-old infielder is slashing .100/.182/.100 with a 1:4 BB:K so far this season.

  • Reds' Santiago Espinal: Logs first RBI of 2025

    Espinal went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

    Espinal got the scoring started Sunday with a two-run single in the third inning that brought home Austin Wynns and TJ Friedl. It was Espinal's first RBI of the season, and he's gone 5-for-15 over his last four starts.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday. He will start at second base and bat ninth in the Rockies' series finale against the Padres.

    Amador will join the Rockies' 26-man active roster as a replacement for Tyler Freeman, who was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain. The 22-year-old infielder previously hit .171 over 10 games in his first taste of the big leagues last season, but he's gotten off to a hot start to the campaign at Triple-A, slashing .275/.408/.450 with two stolen bases, nine runs scored, two home runs and four RBI across 49 plate appearances. Kyle Farmer has served as the Rockies' primary option at the keystone so far this season, but Amador could end up getting a look in a near-everyday role while he's up with the big club.

  • Tyler Freeman 3B | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Lands on 10-day IL

    The Rockies placed Freeman on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

    Freeman was initially included in the Rockies' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, but he was scratched after tweaking his oblique in the batting cage. Further tests revealed a strain, and the injury is severe enough to warrant a stint on the injured list. To shore up their infield depth, the Rockies recalled Adael Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Nationals' Amed Rosario: Getting another start at third

    Rosario will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    He'll man the hot corner for the second day in a row after going 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 7-6 loss. With Rosario now entering the lineup on consecutive days against right-handed starting pitchers, he appears to be the Nationals' preferred option at third base over Jose Tena, while Paul DeJong shifts over to shortstop in the absence of CJ Abrams (hip).

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Idle against lefty

    Stott is not in the Phillies' starting lineup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

    With St. Louis sending southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the mound, Stott will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while Edmundo Sosa starts at second base and bats seventh. Stott is slashing .250/.321/.375 with one stolen base, five runs, one home run and six RBI in 53 plate appearances to start the season.
