  • Nick Yorke 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Yorke: Sitting down Tuesday

    Yorke isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

    Yorke will get a day off Tuesday after going 0-for-9 with three strikeouts over his last two games. Nick Gonzales will pick up a start at third base as a result and will bat sixth.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Giants' Luis Arraez: Good to go Tuesday

    Arraez (wrist) is starting at second base and batting second Tuesday against the Reds, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Arraez was held out of the lineup Sunday after leaving Saturday's contest with a wrist contusion, but he's ready to rejoin the lineup after Monday's team off day. The 29-year-old has a .304/.339/.393 slash line with a double, two triples, two steals, six RBI and six runs through 15 games this season.

  • Jahmai Jones DH | DET

    Tigers' Jahmai Jones: Battling stomach bug

    Jones is not in the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals due to a stomach bug, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    It's bad timing, as the Tigers are facing their first lefty of the season in Cole Ragans, and Jones is on the roster almost entirely for his ability to hit southpaws. Consider him day-to-day. Gleyber Torres will be the designated hitter, and Zach McKinstry will get a start at second base Tuesday.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Exiting starting nine Tuesday

    Chisholm is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    Along with fellow left-handed hitters Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger, Chisholm will hit the bench while the Angels send southpaw Reid Detmers to the bump for the second game of the series. After starting at third base in Monday's 11-10 win in the series opener, Amed Rosario will remain in the lineup Tuesday as Chisholm's replacement at the keystone.

  • Tyler Black 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Tyler Black: Sidelined at Triple-A

    Triple-A Nashville placed Black on the 7-day injured list April 8 with an undisclosed injury.

    Black had his best big-league camp to date, logging a 1.522 OPS with three steals in six games, but he landed on the IL shortly after getting demoted to Triple-A to start the season. He slashed .269/.387/.385 with one home run and one steal in seven games while playing left field (five games), right field (one game) and first base (one game). In the past, Black has missed time with a broken hamate and a broken thumb, but it's unclear how long he'll be out this time.

  • Jose Caballero SS | NYY

    Yankees' Jose Caballero: Homers, swipes bag Monday

    Caballero went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional run, a double and a stolen base Monday in an 11-10 win over the Angels.

    Aaron Judge and Trent Grisham homered twice apiece for New York, and the light-hitting Caballero also got in on the fun with a two-run blast to left field in the second inning. The utility man has racked up two doubles and a long ball along with five RBI over his past three games, going 4-for-13 during that span. Caballero also swiped his sixth bag of the season Monday, and he's tied for seventh in MLB in that category.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Crosses plate three times Monday

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Monday's win over Atlanta.

    The 26-year-old middle infielder continues a blistering start to the season. Edwards has already racked up eight multi-hit performances in 17 games, slashing .359/.414/.516 with six extra-base hits, six RBI, 14 runs and two steals while sitting a consistent second in the order against right-handed pitching.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Pops two homers in loss

    Marte went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Monday's 9-7 loss to Baltimore.

    Marte powered a Diamondbacks' early lead by homering in his first two plate appearances. He's homered three times in the last three games. Marte's bat appears to be coming around after a slow start; he was hitting .152 with two RBI over the first nine games but has responded by going 9-for-33 (.273) with three home runs, two doubles and seven RBI over the subsequent eight contests.

  • Connor Norby 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Blasts homer Monday

    Norby went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 10-4 win over Atlanta.

    Norby turned on a 93.9 mph sinker from Rolddy Munoz and sent it over the left-field wall in the sixth inning for his second homer of the season. The 25-year-old has been locked in at the plate of late, riding a six-game hitting streak and raising his OPS to .847 through 15 games. With Christopher Morel (oblique) sidelined, Norby has taken advantage of regular opportunities at first base.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Continues power surge vs. Nats

    Lowe went 3-for-5 with a home run, a walk, five RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 16-5 win over the Nationals.

    Lowe powered Pittsburgh's offense again Monday, driving in five runs and capping the club's 10-run sixth inning with his sixth homer of the season, a three-run shot off Brad Lord. It was the veteran second baseman's second hit of the frame and moved him into a tie for second in MLB in home runs. Lowe has been on an absolute tear with three homers and 10 RBI over his last two games, becoming the first player in Pirates history to record five RBI in back-to-back games. Through 65 plate appearances in 2026, the 31-year-old is slashing .278/.400/.678 with 14 RBI and a 186 wRC+, looking every bit like one of the league's most productive bats.
