  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Evan Longoria: Homers Wednesday

    Longoria went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Phillies.

    Longoria extended Arizona's lead to 5-0 with a two-run, 422-foot shot off Ranger Suarez in the third inning. He now has three home runs in his last seven games, bringing his total to six this season. However, the 37-year-old veteran still offers marginal fantasy utility at this point while filling the short side of a platoon. He's now slashing .221/.269/.477 with 13 runs scored and 10 RBI through 93 plate appearances.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Marlins' Jean Segura: Sitting out Wednesday

    Segura is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Colorado, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    After putting together a modest five-game hitting streak, Segura has gone hitless over his last three contests. Jon Berti will replace Segura at third base and serve as the Marlins' leadoff hitter.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Brewers' Brian Anderson: Hits another long ball

    Anderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-0 victory over the Astros.

    After failing to reach in his first two at-bats, Anderson hit a solo home run in the seventh off Brandon Bielak to extend Milwaukee's lead to 4-0. It was the veteran's eighth home run of the year, and his third over his past eight appearances. During that stretch, Anderson has totaled four extra-base hits, seven RBI and four runs scored.

  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: On bench amid slump

    Wisdom is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Mets.

    Wisdom was among the most productive hitters in baseball in April, but he's slashed just .163/.293/.327 across 59 plate appearances since the calendar flipped to May. Miles Mastrobuoni will handle third base and bat second Wednesday versus New York. Christopher Morel is serving as the DH and hitting seventh.

  • Julio Carreras 3B | COL

    Rockies' Julio Carreras: Comes off IL

    Carreras (undisclosed) has gone 5-for-20 with three runs and three RBI in five games since being reinstated from Double-A Hartford's 7-day injured list May 17.

    Carreras missed just under a month due to the unspecified injury. Through 76 plate appearances in the Eastern League this season, the 23-year-old shortstop is slashing .265/.333/.397 with five extra-base hits, three stolen bases and a 28.9 percent strikeout rate.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Giants' J.D. Davis: Resting Wednesday

    Davis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Davis will hit the bench after going 3-for-16 with a home run, two doubles, three walks, four RBI and four runs while starting in each of the past five games. With Davis out of the lineup, second baseman Thairo Estrada will get a day out of the field and occupy the designated-hitter spot.

  • Edmundo Sosa LF | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: On bench Wednesday

    Sosa is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Diamondbacks.

    Sosa will head to the bench after he went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 loss. Alec Bohm will slide over to the hot corner while Kody Clemens draws the start at first base and bats sixth in the series finale with Arizona.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Swipes bag in win

    McMahon went 0-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Marlins.

    McMahon knocked in a run with a fielder's choice in the fifth inning and promptly stole second. He's now 0-for-11 across the last three games, and his RBI was his third over the last 11 contests. For the season, the infielder is slashing a poor .216/.290/.377 with four home runs, four steals, 19 RBI and 21 runs scored through 47 games.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Takes swings Tuesday

    Machado (hand) took swings off a tee Tuesday, Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

    Padres manager Bob Melvin told reporters after the workout that he's not sure when Machado will be ready to come off the injured list. He's first eligible for activation this Friday, though that would be fairly aggressive timeline given the star third baseman has a small fracture in his left hand. There should be more clarity on the situation after a few more days of treatment and baseball activity.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Rockies' Mike Moustakas: Sitting Monday

    Moustakas is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Marlins.

    Moustakas will take a seat after he went 3-for-7 with a run scored and an RBI while starting two games during the Rockies' three-game series with Texas. Michael Toglia will take over at first base and bat eighth in the series opener with Miami.
