  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Continues to hit for average

    Bohm went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 7-6 extra-inning victory over the Rays.

    Through his first seven games in May, Bohm is batting .308 with one home run, one double, four RBI and four runs scored over 26 at-bats. The corner infielder hasn't hit for much power overall in 2025, but he's batting .304 (24-for-79) across his last 21 outings. Bohm began the season in the top half of Philadelphia's lineup, but he'll likely stick in the lower part of the batting order unless he starts to supply more pop.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Nationals' Amed Rosario: On base four times Wednesday

    Rosario went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Guardians.

    Getting the start at third base against southpaw Logan Allen and batting second, Rosario produced his second three-hit effort in his last three games. The veteran infielder has boosted his slash line on the season to .279/.300/.442 with two homers, one steal, nine RBI and 11 runs in 70 plate appearances, but he remains stuck in a timeshare at the hot corner with Jose Tena.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Heating up at plate

    McMahon went 4-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, two total runs and two total RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Tigers.

    McMahon and Michael Toglia teamed up to notch all six of the Rockies' extra-base hits Wednesday, though the pair's performance wasn't enough to upset Detroit. McMahon endured an awful start to the season, batting just .147 with a mere four RBI over 29 games through the end of April. However, the veteran third baseman has begun to turn things around in May -- he's hit safely and driven in at least one run in four of five contests this month, and he's notched five extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and two homers) in that span.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Rare stolen base in loss

    Riley went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Reds.

    Wednesday marked the first stolen base of the campaign and the sixth career steal for the All-Star third baseman. Riley also extended his hitting streak to six games and his on-base streak to 10. Since April 27, Riley is hitting a strong .286 (12-for-42) with two home runs, two doubles, seven RBI and four runs scored.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Gets injection for back

    Reds manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that Candelario (spine) received an epidural to address his lumbar strain, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    Francona noted that Candelario has made no notable progress in his recovery since landing on the injured list last Wednesday, and the Reds will wait for the injection to take full effect before determining his next steps. Before being shut down with the injury, the veteran corner infielder had gotten off to a miserable start to the season, slashing just .113/.198/.213 with a 31.9 percent strikeout rate over 91 plate appearances.

  • Noelvi Marte RF | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Recovering from Grade 2 strain

    Reds manager Terry Francona said that Marte's placement on injured list Wednesday was due to a Grade 2 left oblique strain, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    Marte is eligible for activation May 15, but because he's dealing with a moderate strain rather than a mild one, he will most likely be sidelined beyond the minimum 10 days. A more precise timeline for Marte's return should emerge once he's able to resume baseball activities. Santiago Espinal will start at third base in Wednesday's game against Atlanta and will likely receive the bulk of the playing time at the position while Marte is on the shelf.

  • Tyler Wade SS | TEX

    Padres' Tyler Wade: Set to lose playing time

    Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Wade had started in 15 of the Padres' previous 17 games, with most of his playing time coming in center field. He'll be ticketed for a backup role in the outfield moving forward after the Padres welcomed Jackson Merrill back from the injured list Tuesday, and Wade's opportunities to play in the middle infield will also soon become limited with Jake Cronenworth (rib) on track to be activated this weekend.

  • Noelvi Marte RF | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Lands on IL with oblique strain

    The Reds placed Marte on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left oblique strain.

    Marte was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup and a day later has landed on the IL. He will be eligible for activation May 15, but oblique strains often result in longer-than-minimum stays on the IL. Santiago Espinal will likely receive the bulk of the playing time at third base for the Reds while Marte is sidelined.

  • Connor Norby 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Absent from Wednesday's lineup

    Norby is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Dodgers.

    It appears to be a routine day off for Norby, who had started each of the previous seven games for the Marlins. Graham Pauley will get a start at third base and bat eighth for Miami.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Nursing back spasms

    Arenado was scratched from Wednesday's lineup versus the Pirates due to back spasms, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Arenado was scratched just minutes before first pitch and replaced at third base by Nolan Gorman. He should be considered day-to-day for the time being, and Arenado will receive an additional day of rest with the Cardinals having a scheduled off day Thursday.
