  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Homers in rehab game

    Cronenworth (ribs) went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, three walks and three total runs in a rehab appearance with Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

    Cronenworth began a rehab assignment May 3 and went 1-for-3 for San Diego's ACL affiliate. He joined El Paso for his second minor-league game Tuesday and slugged a two-run, 417-foot homer in his third at-bat. Per MLB.com, Cronenworth's stint with the Triple-A club is expected to last only two games, and he could be activated from the injured list ahead of San Diego's series against Colorado that begins Friday.

  • Dylan Moore LF | PHI

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Records steal in return

    Moore went 1-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.

    Moore missed the minimum 10 days on the injured list due to a mild hip strain. The utility player played the full game in right field, though it's expected he'll move around the lineup going forward. Second base and right field are his best bets for playing time to help cover the absences of Ryan Bliss (biceps) and Luke Raley (oblique). Moore is batting .284 with an .878 OPS, six home runs, 10 RBI, 16 runs scored and six steals over 24 contests this season. That kind of production, as well as multi-position eligibility, makes him a useful player to roster in all fantasy formats.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Swats three-run homer

    Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers.

    Rodgers abruptly ended Chad Patrick's night with a three-run blast in the seventh to get the Astros on the board. It was his first home run of the season and first RBIs since April 22. He's now hit safely in five straight games, but Rodgers has largely been unable to give much production, and his home run was just his fourth extra-base hit in 77 plate appearances.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Sitting down for Game 2

    Schneemann isn't in the lineup for the nightcap of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

    Schneemann went 0-for-2 with a walk and scored a run during a 10-9 loss in Game 1 and will grab a seat on the bench to finish the day. Gabriel Arias will move to fill the opening at the keystone, opening up shortstop for Brayan Rocchio.

  • 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.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    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.

  • Dylan Moore LF | PHI

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Back from 10-day injured list

    The Mariners activated Moore (hip) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Moore skipped a rehab assignment and will go directly back onto the active roster following a minimum stay on the IL. He will be in the Mariners' lineup most days in a super-utility role.

  • 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.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Racks up three hits

    Urias went 3-for-4 in Monday's 7-6 win over the Mariners in 11 innings.

    Urias provided some steady hitting from the No. 9 spot, though all three hits were singles and he wasn't directly involved in any scoring plays. Since April 20, he's been a regular in the Athletics' lineup, and he's gone 14-for-48 (.292) in that span. That has him up to a .272 batting average on the year to go with an .871 OPS, five home runs, nine RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases. Urias is holding down a starting role at second base, and with Zack Gelof (wrist/ribs) pausing his rehab assignment Monday, Urias should get a longer look in the lineup.
