    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Plays hero in 10th inning

    Hoerner went 3-for-5 with a triple and an RBI in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Padres.

    The 27-year-old infielder provided the decisive blow, leading off the 10th inning with a triple off Yuki Matsui that brought home phantom runner Dansby Swanson. Hoerner has racked up seven hits over the last four games, boosting his slash line on the season to .328/.371/.391 with six steals, eight runs and 11 RBI in 16 contests.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Swipes bag Tuesday

    Turang went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

    Turang reached in the first and swiped second for his fourth steal of the year. He's now tallied a hit in all but one game so far this season, though he does not have an extra-base hit since he homered April 8. The 25-year-old is slashing .329/.367/.466 with three homers, 10 RBI, 17 runs and a 4:17 BB:K in 79 plate appearances.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Goes deep Tuesday

    Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

    Albies took Chad Green deep in the ninth to make it a 6-3 deficit for Atlanta. Albies has three homers and five RBI in his last five games while also notching a hit in eight straight. He's slashing .250/.311/.471 with four homers, 10 RBI, nine runs and a 6:10 BB:K in 74 plate appearances so far this season.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Suffered hip injury in rehab game

    Alexander (oblique) exited a recent rehab game with a hip impingement but is back in the lineup at Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Jose M. Romero of AZCentral.com reports.

    Alexander originally landed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain, and the more recent hip issue sidelined him for just two days. He could be ready for activation before long, although the 25-year-old isn't a given to join the big-league roster at that time.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Taking live at-bats

    Marte (hamstring) will take live batting practice Tuesday, Jose M. Romero of AZCentral.com reports.

    Marte is ramping up activities, but the big test will come when he's cleared to run, and it's uncertain when that might happen. The Diamondbacks hope the second baseman is ready to return by late April or early May.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Out of lineup again Tuesday

    Rodgers (hip) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in St. Louis, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Rodgers hasn't started a game since April 9 because of a left hip injury. He did appear as a pinch hitter in Monday's game and presumably will be available off the bench again Tuesday. Mauricio Dubon is starting at second base Tuesday for the third game in a row.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Getting run in leadoff spot

    Julien will start at second base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's contest against the Mets.

    It marks the third straight game that Julien has batted leadoff and the eighth game in a row that he's been in the lineup. Previous leadoff man Matt Wallner is hitting third for the Twins on Tuesday.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Baldwin is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

    Baldwin has been serving in a super-utility role for the White Sox but will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. He's seen most of his action in the corner-outfield spots lately, but Chicago will go with Michael Taylor in left field and Joshua Palacios in right field Tuesday.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Sitting versus lefty

    Holliday is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

    With lefty Logan Allen on the mound for Cleveland, Holliday is taking a seat, and Jorge Mateo is making the start at second base and batting ninth for Baltimore. Holliday has received just nine plate appearances against left-handed pitching this season, registering a pair of singles, two RBI and a 1:3 BB:K. Holliday should draw back into the lineup Wednesday against right-hander Gavin Williams.

  • Matt McLain SS | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Back from injured list

    The Reds reinstated McLain (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    The 25-year-old has been sidelined since April 4 due to the hamstring strain, but he's ready to rejoin the active roster after a brief stay on the injured list. Prior to the injury, McLain had yet to find much consistency with a .214 average through 31 plate appearances, though he flashed his power with three home runs.
