  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Idle Tuesday

    Acuna isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Acuna will grab a seat on the bench for the second game in a row after going 3-for-8 during Sunday's doubleheader against St. Louis. Jeff McNeil will get the nod at second base and bat seventh.

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Expected to return after weekend

    Manager Dave Roberts said Edman (ankle) is unlikely to come off the injured list during the series in Arizona over the weekend, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Edman is set to do some running Tuesday while the Dodgers play in Miami. His ankle has not responded as quickly as the team initially anticipated, which resulted in Hyeseong Kim getting called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City. While it Edman is eligible to return Saturday from the 10-day injured list, he is now more likely to return May 13 versus the Athletics, as the Dodgers have an off day May 12.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Grabbing seat Tuesday

    Gorman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    It's the first time since April 16 that Gorman isn't in the lineup against a right-hander when that game wasn't part of a doubleheader. The Cardinals are using Willson Contreras at designated hitter and Alec Burleson at first base Tuesday.

  • Reds' Santiago Espinal: Logs Reds' lone hit

    Espinal started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Monday's 4-0 loss to Atlanta.

    The hot-hitting Espinal got the start over a slumping Noelvi Marte (3-for-22 in last six games) and extended his hit streak to six games. It was Cincinnati's lone hit. The versatile Espinal is 11-for-22 with two doubles and five RBI during the hot stretch.

  • Jose Barrero CF | STL

    Cardinals' Jose Barrero: Goes deep in victory

    Barrero went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 win against the Pirates.

    Barrero plated half of the Cardinals' runs in the contest, knocking a solo shot in the third inning and adding a two-run double in the sixth. The homer was the 27-year-old's first as a big-leaguer since 2023 -- he spent all of his time last year and the beginning of this season in the minors. Barrero has gotten into six contests with the Cardinals since being called up in late April and has gone 3-for-13.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Two hits in win

    Kim went 2-for-4 with an RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over Miami.

    Kim made his first career MLB start Monday after appearing as a pinch runner and swiping a bag Sunday against Atlanta. He singled and stole second base in the fifth inning before coming around to score on Shohei Ohtani's home run. Kim posted a .798 OPS with 14 extra-base hits and 13 steals in 13 attempts across 28 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City before his promotion.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Mets recalled Baty from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

    He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by Jesse Winker (oblique). Baty is behind Luisangel Acuna and Jeff McNeil in the pecking order at second base and behind Mark Vientos at third base. His best shot at playing time in the short term might be at designated hitter, although Starling Marte should be at the top of the depth chart there.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Doing light activities

    Fitzgerald (rib) is doing light activities and rehab work, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Fitzgerald suffered a left rib fracture in late April and finally landed on the 10-day injured list on May 1 after tests revealed the diagnosis. He is expected to be sidelined at least two weeks, but it's a good sign that he's already doing some activities.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Not starting Monday

    Acuna is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Monday.

    Acuna played in both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, going 3-for-8 with one stolen base and one run scored. He'll get a breather Monday while Jeff McNeil starts at second base and bats eighth against Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Getting some rest Monday

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Turang will not be in Monday's lineup against the Astros as he continues to regain strength following an illness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Turang played each of the previous four games after sitting out one contest last week because he was under the weather. He's evidently still not feeling quite 100 percent, however, so he'll get a breather for the series opener versus Houston. Turang will be available off the bench Monday and should be back in the lineup Tuesday.
