Luis Arraez 2B | SF
Giants' Luis Arraez: Logs two doubles in win
Arraez went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two runs scored in Monday's 3-2 win over the Padres.
Arraez doubled in the first inning before coming around to score and added another two-bagger in the sixth before scoring San Francisco's final run. Monday's performance marked the first time this season he's recorded multiple extra-base hits in a game, and he now has seven doubles and two triples on the campaign. The 29-year-old infielder is slashing .316/.340/.398 with 14 runs scored, 11 RBI and four stolen bases across 144 plate appearances this season.

Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Blasts two-run homer in loss
Turang went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Cardinals.
Turang did his part in sparking a comeback, blasting a two-run homer in the ninth inning to cut the deficit to three. It marked his fifth long ball and fourth three-hit effort of the year, as the second baseman has carried over his breakout 2025 campaign into a hot start to 2026. Through 31 games, the 26-year-old is hitting .304 with a .956 OPS, cementing himself as one of the most consistent and productive hitters in the Brewers lineup.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Rehab paused due to soreness
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Edman has been backed off his rehab a bit after feeling residual soreness in his surgically repaired right ankle, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
The soreness isn't necessarily unexpected as Edman ramps up his rehab, but it will delay his return from the 10-day injured list. The Dodgers haven't revealed a timetable for Edman to make his season debut, but he now seems unlikely to be activated before the end of May.

Braves' Ha-Seong Kim: Moving rehab to Triple-A
Kim (finger) is moving his rehab assignment from Double-A Columbus to Triple-A Gwinnett this week, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.
Kim began his rehab assignment last week and seems to be making good progress in his recovery from the surgery he underwent in January to repair a torn tendon in his right middle finger. He went 3-for-9 with four walks, one steal and three runs scored across four games with Double-A and will likely stick with Gwinnett for a few more contests before being cleared to return to the majors. Mauricio Dubon should continue to hold down the fort at shortstop until Kim is back with Atlanta.

Tyler Black 2B | MIL
Brewers' Tyler Black: Sitting again Monday
Black is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
After hitting the bench for Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Nationals while right-hander Zack Littell served as Washington's primary pitcher, Black will remain out of the starting nine against a righty starter (Kyle Leahy) for the series opener in St. Louis. Since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville on April 24, Black has shined at the plate with nine hits -- including four doubles -- and seven RBI over 21 at-bats, but his pathway to regular playing time appears to have closed with the Brewers bringing Jackson Chourio (hand) and Andrew Vaughn (hand) back from the injured list Monday. Black could be optioned back to Nashville in the coming days if Milwaukee wants him to continue playing on an everyday basis rather than using him in a more limited utility role at the big-league level.

Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Ready to start Monday
Turang (illness) will start at second base and bat third in Monday's game against the Cardinals.
After Turang fell ill and was scratched from the starting nine ahead of Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Nationals, manager Pat Murphy told Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel following the game that the Brewers were in "wait-and-see" mode with the second baseman heading into team's three-game series in St. Louis. Turang looks like he bounced back well from the ailment overnight and will slot back into a new-look Milwaukee lineup. He'll hit out of the No. 3 spot in the order for just sixth time this season while the Brewers welcome two key lineup pieces in Jackson Chourio (hand) and Andrew Vaughn (hand) back from the injured list.

Connor Norby 1B | MIA
Marlins' Connor Norby: Exiting starting nine Monday
Norby is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
Though he'll be taking a seat for Monday's series finale, Norby still appears to be ahead of Christopher Morel in the pecking order at first base. Since Morel was activated from the injured list last Monday, Norby started in five of the Marlins' ensuing seven games and went 5-for-18 with two doubles, three walks, two stolen bases and an RBI during that stretch.

Edouard Julien 2B | COL
Rockies' Edouard Julien: Taking seat Monday
Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.
Right-hander Huascar Brazoban is opening the game for the Mets, but the left-handed-hitting Julien will hit the bench to begin Monday's contest since New York will be using a lefty (David Peterson) in bulk relief. With Julien taking a seat, Tyler Freeman will occupy the designated-hitter spot and Willi Castro will start at second bas.

Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL
Braves' Ozzie Albies: Hit streak at 15 games
Albies went 2-for-3 with two walks, three runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Rockies.
The switch-hitting second baseman extended his hitting streak to 15 games, tying his career high, with another dazzling performance. Albies is slashing .421/.470/.702 during his streak with seven doubles, three homers, 13 RBI and 14 runs, as well as a stellar 7:4 BB:K.

Hye Seong Kim SS | LAD
Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Two hits, RBI, run in win
Kim went 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Cardinals.
Kim singled home a run in the second inning and singled again and scored in the fifth. With lefty Justin Bruihl on the mound for St. Louis in the seventh, Miguel Rojas pinch-hit for Kim, who pushed his slash line to .317/.382/.417 with one homer, eight RBI, eight runs scored, five stolen bases and a 7:13 BB:K across 68 plate appearances this season. Kim should continue to see somewhat regular playing time while Mookie Betts (oblique) works his way back.
