  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Getting day off Tuesday

    Donovan is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    It's the first true day off for Donovan this season, as the first time he wasn't in the lineup came in the first game of a doubleheader. Nolan Gorman is handling second base and batting third for the Cardinals on Tuesday.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Exiting starting nine

    Arias is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.

    Arias isn't dealing with any known injury, but this will be the second time in the last four contests that he's been on the bench. Daniel Schneemann will start at second base and bat eighth for the Guardians.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Held out again Tuesday

    Castro (oblique) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    Castro hasn't played since tweaking his right oblique on April 16, although there's been no indication to this point that the Twins are mulling a injured-list stint. The Twins are going with Brooks Lee at third base and Edouard Julien at second base Tuesday.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Multi-hit effort in victory

    Fitzgerald went 2-for-3 with a run scored during Monday's 5-2 win over the Brewers.

    Fitzgerald recorded two singles in the win, marking his sixth multi-hit effort over 20 games this season. The 27-year-old infielder provided a crucial spark in the fifth frame, when he hit a leadoff single and later came around to tie the game at 2-2 on a throwing error. Fitzgerald owns the ninth-highest batting average in the National League and is slashing .318/.366/.500 with 12 runs scored, seven extra-base hits, six RBI and a team-high five stolen bases across 73 plate appearances.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Slams seventh homer

    Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to Cleveland.

    Chisholm struck out twice in his first three plate appearances, but he ended his day with a two-run homer to right field. The veteran second baseman has a poor .161/.255/.425 slash line on the season, but he's tied for fifth in the majors with seven home runs. Chisholm has also stolen five bases, so he's provided useful fantasy production despite the low batting average.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Delivers two runs in win

    Campbell went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Monday's 4-2 win over the White Sox.

    Campbell, who fell behind 0-2, worked an eight-pitch at-bat before driving a sinker that caught too much of the plate the opposite way for two-run single. "Try to be selective as possible and swing at the right pitches," Campbell told Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. "Just try to be patient as possible." The rookie has been exposed to major-league pitching for three-plus weeks, including a second time against the White Sox, and he's learning how teams attack him and making adjustments. "We talk about there's an opportunity to face the same guys that he faced last week and to make adjustments and start looking for pitches," manager Alex Cora said. "And the last two days, he has been impressive. Not chasing." Campbell is batting .316/.428/.500 with eight extra-base hits, eight RBI, one steal, 11 runs, a 15.6 walk percentage (89th percentile) and 23.7 chase percentage (72nd percentile) over 91 plate appearances.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Knocks in two

    Rodgers went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Blue Jays.

    Rodgers sat for the last two games with right-handed pitchers on the mound, suggesting he may be slipping into a small-side platoon. However, he returned against Kevin Gausman and delivered a two-RBI double in the eighth inning. Rodgers now has three hits across 11 at-bats since returning from a hip injury.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Rips ninth-inning homer

    Stott went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Monday's loss to the Mets.

    Stott was 1-for-4 with a single before hammering a clutch three-run shot off of Edwin Diaz in the ninth inning. However, it wasn't enough to complete the comeback and the Phillies fell 5-4. Stott snapped a 17-game homerless drought with his second of the year. He's slashing .295/.356/.449 with 13 RBI and seven extra-base hits through 20 games.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Productive from leadoff spot

    Torres went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 6-4 win over the Padres.

    Batting leadoff, Torres helped set the table for the Tigers, and he pushed his batting average above .300 in the process. The infielder has exclusively batted first or second through 11 appearances this year, and if he keeps getting on base at a healthy clip, Torres could be in line for a big offensive season, particularly when it comes to runs.

  • Peyton Stovall 2B | CIN

    Reds' Peyton Stovall: Back in action

    Stovall (hamstring) is 4-for-13 with two RBI, one stolen base and four runs scored in four games at High-A Dayton this season.

    Stovall was held back to participate in extended spring training after suffering a hamstring injury this spring, but he's returned to full strength and has been sent out to begin his 2025 minor-league campaign with the Dragons. He's been able to get on base at will so far, drawing six walks in four matchups.
