  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Power surge continues

    Edwards went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to Atlanta.

    Edwards opened the scoring for Miami by taking Martin Perez deep to lead off the bottom of the first inning. It was his second straight game with a homer, and over his last 12 games the typically light-hitting second baseman is batting .304 (14-for-46) with four homers, two steals, seven RBI and 12 runs.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Reaches three times in loss

    Hoerner went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Brewers.

    Hoerner tallied his first multi-hit effort since May 10, and in seven games in between, he had gone just 4-for-28 before Tuesday's encouraging performance. It's been a struggle all month for the speedy infielder, who ended April batting .291 but is now down to .264. Hoerner still offers plenty of run-scoring potential atop Chicago's lineup along with the ability to swipe a base, and he's too good of a hitter to stay down for long.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Keaschall is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

    Keaschall has an .813 OPS with an 11:10 BB:K through 15 games in May but will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Byron Buxton (hip) is serving as the designated hitter, pushing Josh Bell to first base and Kody Clemens to second.

  • Ernie Clement 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Dealing with strep throat

    Clement has strep throat and is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

    Clement started the previous 15 games but will hit the bench after feeling the strep symptoms come on Monday. Davis Schneider is stepping in at second base Tuesday for Toronto.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Batting seventh in season debut

    Holliday will start at second base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game versus the Rays.

    Holliday will be making his season debut for the Orioles after undergoing surgery in February to repair a fractured right hamate bone and then encountering multiple setbacks along the way. Per Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com, Holliday said he still feels a bit of soreness in his hand, but he's been told that it's not a concern and will eventually go away. Holliday was the Orioles' leadoff hitter for the bulk of last season, but he will slide into the No. 7 spot as the club eases him back into the mix. The 22-year-old slashed just .176/.291/.284 on his rehab assignment, though he reached base seven times and had one home run in his final four rehab games.

  • Max Schuemann LF | NYY

    Yankees' Max Schuemann: Steals two bags Monday

    Schuemann went 1-for-2 with two walks, a run and two stolen bases in a 7-6 win over Toronto on Monday.

    Schuemann got the start at third base before shifting over to left field late in the game. He made the most of the opportunity, reaching three times and swiping his first two bags of the campaign. Schuemann ranks in the 64th percentile in sprint speed leaguewide, but he had been 0-for-2 in theft attempts coming into Monday. He holds a fine .286/.474/.429 slash line across 19 plate appearances on the campaign but isn't much of a fantasy asset since he plays so sparingly -- Monday marked just his second start over New York's past six contests.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Nearing rehab assignment

    Edman (ankle) is expected to begin a rehab assignment within the next few weeks, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Edman's recovery from right ankle surgery has come along slowly, as he's dealt with lingering soreness when he attempts to ramp things up. However, he seems to have turned a corner recently, with general manager Brandon Gomes noting Monday of Edman that "each week we're trending up and able to do more and get closer to his game speeds." The hope is Edman will be ready to go at some point in June, though there's still not a clear timetable for his activation.

  • Nasim Nunez 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Nasim Nunez: First in NL to 20 steals

    Nunez went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Monday's extra-innings loss to the Mets.

    The speedy infielder began the night on the bench but still wound up seeing a nearly full allotment of plate appearances after pinch-running for Brady House in the seventh inning of a game that wound up going 12 frames. Nunez's steal was his 20th of the season, tying him with Jose Ramirez for the major-league lead, but he's been a fairly one-dimensional fantasy asset in 2026, slashing .187/.299/.209 in 45 games with zero homers, 14 RBI and 18 runs.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Pops fifth homer

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's win over Atlanta.

    The second baseman launched a solo shot in the fifth inning off Aaron Bummer, going back-to-back with Javier Sanoja to break open the game. It was Edwards' fifth homer of the season -- he came into 2026 with only four in just over 1,000 big-league plate appearances -- and four of them have come in May, a month in which he's slashing .297/.357/.547 over 17 games with two steals, nine RBI and 13 runs.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Productive in loss

    Duran went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 7-6 loss to Colorado.

    Duran continued to be a regular contributor, getting on base and scoring in the second and sixth innings followed by a two-run single in the eighth. He's been a lineup regular for the last month, most recently filling in at shortstop for Corey Seager (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. He's expected to cover shortstop until Seager's ready. Duran is slashing .286/.348/.454 with three home runs, 17 RBI, four steals and 20 runs scored over 133 plate appearances.
