  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Arenado is not in the Cardinals' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Arenado went 3-for-4 with a run scored during Friday's 5-0 win over the Dodgers, but he will begin Saturday's game on the bench while Nolan Gorman starts at third base and bats seventh. Arenado has gone 9-for-35 (.257) with two home runs and six RBI over his last nine games.

  • Matt Shaw SS | CHC

    Cubs' Matt Shaw: Collects two more hits Friday

    Shaw went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Tigers.

    Facing Detroit ace Tarik Skubal, Shaw managed to record his second straight multi-hit effort, and he mustered Chicago's only run in a game where scoring was at a premium. After getting demoted following a rocky start to his rookie campaign, Shaw has been a lot better since getting recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 19. Over his past 16 games, the 23-year-old has slashed .345/.387/.466 with seven doubles, four RBI and 10 runs scored.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Out of lineup

    Hayes isn't part of the Pirates' starting nine for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Hayes had made nine consecutive starts. During that stretch, Hayes went 5-for-31 (.161) with three RBI and three runs scored. Jared Triolo will bat eighth and play third Friday.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Completes comeback

    Suarez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Thursday's 11-10 win over Atlanta.

    Suarez's two-run double in the ninth inning was the game-winning hit, completing a stunning seven-run comeback rally. The third baseman's bat has woken up since May 12, when his batting average stood at .200. Since then, he's gone 22-for-74 (.297) with six doubles, four home runs and 19 RBI over 20 contests. He's still batting only .232, but Suarez's 16 home runs and team-high 46 RBI are hard for fantasy GMs to ignore.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Belts eighth homer

    Machado went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to San Francisco on Thursday.

    Machado provided the Padres' only runs of the contest when he took Robbie Ray deep for a two-run blast in the second inning. It was the star third baseman's second home run through five games in June, and he's batting .421 (8-for-19) with six RBI during that span. Machado is currently hitting .317 on the campaign, putting him on pace for the highest batting average of his career.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Goes yard in loss

    Arenado went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 7-5 loss to the Royals in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader.

    Arenado went 0-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored in the matinee contest. His homer tied the nightcap at 5-5, but the Cardinals didn't score again after that. The third baseman has three homers and 12 RBI over his last 13 contests, but he's gone just 9-for-49 (.184) with three walks in that span. After a hot start to the year, it looked like his struggles from the last two years were behind him, but overall he has a .228/.296/.379 slash line over 57 contests in 2025. Arenado has added seven homers, 31 RBI, 27 runs scored and one stolen base this season.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Multi-hit effort in win

    Chapman went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Padres.

    The third baseman singled in the third inning, then stole second and subsequently came around to score on a ground-rule double by Dominic Smith. Chapman added another single in the fifth, marking his fourth multi-hit performance in his last eight games. He's batting .429 with four runs scored, three RBI, three doubles and two home runs across 33 plate appearances during that span.

  • Matt Shaw SS | CHC

    Cubs' Matt Shaw: Big effort in win

    Shaw went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Nationals. He also stole two bases.

    Shaw was electric from the No. 8 spot in the order as he snapped a 1-for-13 slump that stretched across his previous four games. This was the rookie's second career game with three hits. It was also his second career game with multiple stolen bases, and he now has seven steals for the season in as many attempts. Shaw remains a work in progress at the plate, but his ability on the bases is giving his fantasy value a boost, and he has the potential to do even more with the bat as he gets more comfortable against MLB pitching.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Homers in loss

    Riley went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 11-10 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Riley laced an RBI single and then came around in the score in the first inning before adding a solo home run in the fifth. Over his past 10 games, the third baseman has hit safely eight times with three homers, seven RBI and eight runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .273/.330/.446 with 11 long balls, 35 RBI, 33 runs scored and two steals across 270 plate appearances.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Idle for series finale

    Muncy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

    The Dodgers and Mets are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, and southpaw David Peterson is on the hill for New York, so the left-handed-hitting Muncy will get the afternoon off. Miguel Rojas will check in at third base in place of Muncy, who went 7-for-19 with five home runs, three walks, 11 RBI and six runs while starting in each of the past five contests.
