  • Tyler Wade SS | TEX

    Padres' Tyler Wade: Joins active roster

    The Padres selected Wade's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

    With Jake Cronenworth (rib) headed for the injured list, the Padres will bring Wade back onto their major-league roster as infield depth. The 30-year-old appeared in 90 games for San Diego last season, slashing .217/.285/.239 with eight RBI and eight steals across 155 plate appearances. Matt Waldron (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Set to begin rehab assignment

    Norby (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    It will be the first game action for Norby since he sustained a left oblique strain in late March. The Marlins haven't revealed how long the rehab assignment is likely to last, but Norby should be back well before the end of April. Once he's ready, he'll serve as Miami's everyday third baseman.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Yet to make start

    Marte is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

    Marte was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday but hasn't started any of the Reds' three games since the promotion, with his only action coming as a pinch runner. The Reds will need to clear a roster spot for Andrew Abbott (shoulder) on Saturday and for Matt McLain (hamstring) on Tuesday, and it's a good bet Marte will be optioned one of those two days.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Moved down to seven spot

    Bohm will start at third base and bat seventh in Thursday's game in Atlanta, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Bohm hadn't previously hit lower than cleanup, but he'll be moved down to a less prominent spot in the lineup after going just 1-for-18 at the plate over his last four games. Nick Castellanos will be the Phillies' cleanup hitter Thursday.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Hitting well during first homestand

    McMahon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Brewers.

    McMahon went yard in the third inning to deliver his second home run of the year. He's riding a six-game hitting streak, with five of those contests coming at Coors Field. In that span, he's maintained a .333 average with four RBI and a pair of runs scored.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Debuts as pinch runner

    Marte entered Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Giants as a pinch runner and finished up the game at third base. He did not get a plate appearance.

    Marte made his season debut after being called up from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. He entered for Santiago Espinal, who got the start at third base. Jeimer Candelario had been the default option at the hot corner early this season, but a lingering slump may cost him playing time. Marte, who had a .954 OPS over 40 plate appearances at Louisville, should eventually work into the rotation at third base.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Goes deep in loss

    Riley went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Phillies on Wednesday.

    Riley accounted for Atlanta's only extra-base hit of the contest with his solo shot to left field in the seventh inning. The 417-foot homer tied the score at 3-3, but Philadelphia ultimately pulled out the win on the strength of a Trea Turner ninth-inning long ball. Riley's home run was his first since Opening Day, but he seems to be heating up after a tepid start to the campaign, as he's collected three multi-hit performances and racked up four RBI over his past four games.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Sitting amidst slump

    Candelario is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Francisco.

    Candelario is hitless over his last four games and is batting just .140 on the season, so he will get a day off to regroup. Santiago Espinal will cover third base and bat second for the Reds on Wednesday.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Swats first 2025 homer

    Machado went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the A's.

    The third baseman took Jeffrey Springs deep in the first inning -- Machado's first long ball of the year. He's had a strong start to the campaign overall, slashing .319/.360/.489 through 12 games with five doubles, five RBI, nine runs and five steals on five attempts.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Hitless stretch continues

    Candelario started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Giants.

    Candelario's stretch of futility reached 15 at-bats without a hit, and his average dropped to .140. His main competitor for playing time at third base, Gavin Lux, moved to second base to cover for Matt McLain (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. That seemingly benefits Candelario; however, along with the McLain transaction, the Reds recalled third baseman Noelvi Marte from Triple-A Louisville, and he could eat into Candelario's opportunities.
