  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Swats first homer of 2024

    Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Monday in a 9-8 victory versus the Cubs.

    Bogaerts capped a seven-run sixth inning for San Diego with a two-run blast that brought the team to within a run. It was the first homer of the season for the second baseman, and it marked the first time he has knocked in any runs since the team's third game of the campaign. Bogaerts has been quiet to start the season, slashing a modest .250/.304/.327 with 10 runs and six RBI through 52 plate appearances.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Pops first homer

    Turang went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's loss to the Reds.

    Owned in fantasy mostly for his speed, Turang posted his first homer of the season Monday night, tagging a 397-foot blast off Graham Ashcraft in the fifth inning. He later added two additional RBI on a double in the next inning. Turang sports a .379/.424/.586 slash line in his 32 plate appearances while establishing himself as Milwaukee's starting second baseman.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Tallies two hits in loss

    Keith went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Pirates.

    Keith now has hits in three straight games, and the rookie is batting a respectable .250 overall across his first 10 contests. He's yet to go deep this year after hitting a total of 27 home runs across two levels in 2023, but the power should come as long as he keeps making consistent contact. Keith should stay locked into a regular role as well, so the opportunity is there for the promising 22-year-old to have a strong debut campaign.

  • Justin Foscue 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Lands on 10-day IL

    Foscue was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left oblique strain.

    Foscue made his big-league debut just a few days earlier against Houston, so it's unclear as to when he suffered the injury. The Rangers selected Davis Wendzel's contract from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Called up by Red Sox

    The Red Sox called up Gonzalez from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

    In a corresponding move, the Red Sox optioned Bobby Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester. Gonzalez had a strong start to his minor-league season, slashing .321/.375/.821 with three home runs and 10 RBI over 32 plate appearances. He'll bring some infield depth and a right-handed bat for the Red Sox and should get starts against left-handed pitching. Gonzalez saw time at second base, shortstop and first base at Triple-A.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Cleared to begin baseball activity

    Edman (wrist) was cleared by a doctor Monday to begin baseball activities, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    It's certainly good news, although Edman will basically be re-starting the equivalent of a spring training ramp-up from square one, so it will be a while before he returns. That's assuming things go well with the ramp-up, of course, which was not the case previously. Victor Scott has been filling in for Edman in center field but is off to just a 3-for-36 start at the plate.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Won't play Monday after all

    India (leg) has been scratched from Monday's lineup against the Brewers, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    India was initially set to start at DH and hit out of the leadoff spot, but he was scratched with a left leg contusion from being hit during batting practice. Bubba Thompson will enter the starting lineup at center field and bat ninth, while Will Benson shifts to DH.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Remains in Monday's lineup

    Manager David Bell said India remains in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers despite suffering an unspecified injury during batting practice, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    India appeared to get struck by a ball while some teammates were taking batting practice, but it's apparently not a serious injury. There remains a chance the 27-year-old is scratched closer to first pitch, but for now he's still penciled in to bat leadoff as the designated hitter.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Injured during pregame

    India suffered an apparent injury during batting practice ahead of Monday's game versus the Brewers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    India was standing in foul territory while others were taking BP and it's possible he was struck by a ball before walking off the field with the trainer. According to Goldsmith, India returned to the field to take some BP himself, though it's unclear if that means he'll be available. He had been set to serve as the Reds' designated hitter and leadoff man Monday, but it's now possible he gets scratched.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Sitting versus lefty

    Julien is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

    The Dodgers are sending southpaw James Paxton to the hill, so the left-handed hitting Julien will begin this one on the bench. Kyle Farmer receives the start at second base.
