Estrada went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Estrada's ninth-inning homer had little impact on the game since the Dodgers were up 10-4 at the time, but they count all the same in fantasy. It was the infielder's second long ball of the campaign and marked the third time this year he's reached base three times in a contest. Estrada has been pretty productive so far this season, complementing the pair of long balls with seven runs, five RBI, two thefts and a .341/.386/.537 slash line through 44 plate appearances.

Gorman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.

For the second game in a row, Gorman delivered a late-inning, go-ahead homer. He took reliever Justin Lawrence deep for a two-run blast in the eighth inning Wednesday. Gorman has hit safely in eight of 10 games, slashing .313/.436/.750 with four long balls, 10 RBI, five runs scored, two doubles and a 7:8 BB:K through 39 plate appearances.

Garcia (hamstring) is hitting sixth and playing second base Wednesday against the Angels.

Garcia returns to the lineup for the first time since leaving Friday's game with tightness in his hamstring. Michael Chavis will retreat to the bench with Garcia back in action.

Villar went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Dodgers.

With one out and one on in the bottom of the eighth, Villar smacked an Evan Phillips offering 403 feet to center field to give the Giants some extra cushion heading into the final inning. The home run ended a relative lull at the dish for Villar, who had reached base at a .409 clip over his prior six games but batted just .188 with one extra-base hit (a double) during that stretch.

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

His fourth-inning blast off Luis Cessa tied the game at 4-4. Albies has hit safely in four straight games but hasn't had a multi-hit performance since Opening Day, and the 26-year-old is slashing .229/.255/.354 to begin the season with two homers, three runs and six RBI. After stealing 20 bags in 2021 but only three in 64 games (on eight attempts) last season, Albies has yet to attempt a steal in 2023.

Kim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Kim will get a breather for just the second time through the Padres' first 13 games, paving the way for Rougned Odor to pick up a start at the keystone. In Tuesday's 4-2 win over New York, Kim went 1-for-3 with his first stolen base of the season.

Arraez went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Phillies.

It's the first cycle in Marlins history, with the long ball -- his first of the season -- coming in the seventh inning off Connor Brogdon. Arraez has had a blistering start to his Miami tenure; through 12 games he's batting .537 (22-for-41) with five RBI, six runs and a 6:3 BB:K.

Gorman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Rockies.

Gorman didn't start Tuesday, but he replaced Taylor Motter as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. Two frames later, Gorman put the Cardinals ahead 7-6 with his solo shot. The second baseman has been a bright spot so far, hitting three homers with eight RBI, four runs scored and a pair of doubles over 35 plate appearances. Prior to Tuesday, he'd slumped a bit, going 1-for-10 over his last three contests.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Mariners. He also stole a base.

Hoerner went 3-for-5 with a stolen base Monday and kept on rolling Tuesday. The infielder is now batting a robust .356 and he's stolen five bases in just 10 games. Hoerner seems to be the catalyst of Chicago's offense at the moment, and he should remain locked into fantasy lineups while he's this hot.

Bae went 1-for-5 with a game-winning three-run home run in a 7-4 victory over the Astros on Tuesday.

With a pair of runners on and one out in the bottom of the ninth, Bae blistered a ball over the left-centerfield fence off Ryan Pressly to give the Pirates the win. Even while hitting just .242 with a .265 on-base percentage, Bae has shown some flashes of brilliance over the first 11 games of the season with a pair of homers, two stolen bases and six RBI over 33 at-bats.
