  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Clubs 15th homer

    Suarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Pirates.

    Suarez looks to be heating up again. He's hit safely in nine of his last 11 games, going 14-for-41 (.341) with three homers and 13 RBI in that stretch. His long ball Monday, which stretched Arizona's lead to 3-0 in the third inning, was his 15th homer of the year. He's added a .232/.315/.515 slash line, 41 RBI, 34 runs scored, 10 doubles and a stolen base over 54 contests, numbers that are largely in line with his usual rate of production.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Expects to play Tuesday

    Arenado (rib) expects to return to the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles, John Denton of MLB.com reports. "Overall, I feel OK," Arenado said Monday after falling into the crowd while making a catch during Sunday's game. "Should be fine by [Tuesday], just kind of stiff today. So, I'm just going to get some treatment and then go from there."

    The 10-time Gold Glover is dealing with some soreness in his rib/kidney region, but it sounds like he's expecting a quick turnaround. Nolan Gorman is starting at third base Monday against right-hander Charlie Morton.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Not included in starting nine

    Vientos is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

    Vientos was held out of the starting lineup Friday and Saturday due to abdominal soreness before returning Sunday. There has been nothing yet to suggest Monday's absence is directly related to the abdominal issue, though the team is likely being cautious coming off the injury. Recent call-up Jared Young is starting at DH with Brett Baty at third against right-hander Adrian Houser.

  • Reds' Santiago Espinal: On bench for series opener

    Espinal is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

    Espinal has been a regular in the lineup at third base -- and in the two hole -- for Cincinnati since Noelvi Marte (oblique) was placed on the injured list. However, Espinal's bat has gone cold, as he's just 11-for-65 (.169 average) with two extra-base hits (both doubles) in his last 17 games. The 30-year-old longtime utility man will sit Monday in favor of Garrett Hampson, who will be making his first start in a Reds uniform.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Continues hot stretch with two XBH

    Machado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a double in Sunday's 5-3 win against Atlanta.

    Machado scored the first run of the game after doubling in the first inning and added a 352-foot solo shot in the eighth frame. After battling through an 0-for-15, four-game stretch in mid-May, the veteran third baseman has bounced back with four multi-hit efforts in his past five contests. During that span, Machado has collected two homers and two doubles along with three RBI while going 8-for-19.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Sitting for Monday's opener

    Arenado is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

    Arenado has gone 1-for-14 in his last four games to drop his OPS to a career-low .684 through 209 plate appearances this season. The eight-time All-Star took a shot to the kidney region while making a catch in Sunday's game, as John Denton of MLB.com notes, though Arenado seems to be fine. Nolan Gorman is starting at the hot corner Monday in Arenado's absence.

  • Nationals' Yohandy Morales: Gets bump to Triple-A

    The Nationals promoted Morales from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

    Selected with the first pick of the second round in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, Morales saw his 2024 campaign interrupted by a thumb injury. The 23-year-old was healthy to begin the current season and got off to a hot start with Harrisburg, slashing .315/.366/.520 with four home runs and a 23.2 percent strikeout rate over 33 games to earn the promotion. Over his first three contests with Rochester he's gone 2-for-9 with three walks against two strikeouts. Morales has split his time this season between third base and first base, but his likely home in the majors is at the latter position or at designated hitter.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Doubles, drives in two runs

    Suarez went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's loss to St. Louis.

    Suarez gave Arizona an early lead with his two-run single in the first inning. He later doubled and scored a run in the sixth. It was his first game with at least three hits since belting four homers against Atlanta on April 26. Suarez has produced four multi-hit performances over his last 10 games, going 13-for-38 (.342) in the process. He's now slashing .230/.312/.503 with 24 extra-base hits and 41 RBI through 218 plate appearances.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Good to go Sunday

    Vientos (abdomen) will start at third base and bat second Sunday against the Dodgers.

    Vientos didn't start the first two games of the series due to abdominal soreness, but he'll rejoin the starting nine for Sunday's series finale. The 25-year-old has a .266/.324/.344 slash line with one home run, three RBI and seven runs through 20 games in May.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Getting afternoon off

    Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Hayes will be joined on the bench by Bryan Reynolds (torso) as the Pirates give two of their lineup regulars a breather for the day game after a night game. Jared Triolo will fill in for Hayes at third base.
