  • Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | NYM

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Takes seat against lefty

    Bae is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Bae will get a seat against southpaw Austin Gomber after going 1-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 victory over Colorado. Mark Mathias will handle second base duties and hit seventh in the series finale.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Getting Wednesday off

    Gorman is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Gorman will get a day of rest against left-hander Madison Bumgarner. The 22-year-old sits with Willson Contreras operating as the designated hitter and Andrew Knizner starting behind the plate.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Remains sidelined Wednedsay

    Donovan (lower leg) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Donovan will miss a second game in a row Wednesday as he nurses a shin abrasion. Taylor Motter will draw another start, taking over at second base and batting eighth in the series finale with Arizona.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Swats fourth homer

    Albies went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

    His eighth-inning shot off Nabil Crismatt, Albies' fourth long ball this season, gave Atlanta a 5-0 lead. After a bit of a slow start at the plate, the second baseman is batting .282 (11-for-39) over his last 10 games with six runs and 10 RBI, though Albies is still looking for his first steal of 2023.

  • Alan Trejo SS | COL

    Rockies' Alan Trejo: Could see increased playing time

    Trejo went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    Trejo was in the lineup for only the seventh time this season and at second base for only the second time. However, he could be in line for more consistent playing time moving forward, as Ryan McMahon shifted to third base Tuesday, in turn pushing Elehuris Montero to the bench. Montero has struggled defensively early this season -- he made two costly errors Monday -- and is a candidate to lose more playing time or even be sent down to the minors, per Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. While Trejo has the potential to be steadier than Montero, he has maintained just a 73 wRC+ and .296 wOBA across 198 career plate appearances.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL

    Giants' Thairo Estrada: Records third steal

    Estrada went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Marlins.

    Estrada has gone 8-for-23 (.348) with four extra-base hits, two RBI and six runs scored over his last five games. His steal Tuesday was his first since April 3. The second baseman continues to see steady playing time, and he's made the most of it by forging a strong .333/.385/.550 slash line with three steals, three home runs, six RBI and 11 runs scored through 15 contests.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Scratched with shin abrasion

    Donovan is considered day-to-day with a left shin abrasion, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    This minor issue is what prompted the Cardinals to scratch Donovan from their starting lineup Tuesday night against the Diamondbacks. Nolan Gorman will cover second base and Taylor Motter is in at third.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Scratched from lineup Tuesday

    Donovan was scratched from the Cardinals' lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

    There's no reason yet for the sudden change. Nolan Gorman is now starting at second base and batting fifth, with Taylor Motter entering the lineup at third base and hitting eighth.

  • Brett Wisely 2B | ATL

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Recalled from Triple-A

    Wisely was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Wisely made the Opening Day roster out of Giants camp this spring before getting sent down after just one game. He'll get another look coming off a huge weekend showing for Sacramento, including a four-double game Sunday.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Brewers' Luis Urias: Transferred to 60-day IL

    Urias (hamstring) was transferred Tuesday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Urias suffered a severe left hamstring strain in the Brewers' season opener March 30 against the Cubs. The initial timeline called for him to miss at least eight weeks, so this is mostly just a procedural move to clear out a 40-man roster spot.
