Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Leaves yard again Sunday
McMahon went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two walks and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Padres.
McMahon capped off his strong weekend with a solo home run in the eighth to extend the Rockies lead. He's now homered four times this month and has raised his OPS to .736 after posting a .508 OPS in March/April. In his last seven games, McMahon is hitting .500/.607/1.091 with a 6:5 BB:K. He's notoriously been more effective in Denver and will aim to keep his hot bat going this week despite the Rockies having all their games on the road.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Breaks homerless streak Sunday
Arenado went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-1 win at Washington.
With his 385-foot homer in the eighth inning off reliever Brad Lord, the veteran third baseman snapped an 11-game stretch without a long ball. Over that span, Arenado hit .256 (11-for-43) with a double, four runs scored and two RBI. Despite cracking only four homers through 159 plate appearances so far, Arenado has produced a solid .270/.352/.426 slash line with 19 runs scored and 16 RBI across 37 games.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA
Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Homers again
Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers.
Suarez gave starter Corbin Burnes a little more breathing room with his sixth-inning home run. It was the second homer in as many games for Suarez, who ranks tied for second in MLB with 12 homers. He also extended an on-base streak to six contests (7-for-20, four walks), which has lifted Suarez's batting average to .211, its highest point since April 4.

Eric Wagaman 1B | MIN
Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Smacks go-ahead triple
Wagaman went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.
Wagaman, who went 0-for-8 in his two games prior to Saturday, got off to a slow start after he struck out swinging in each of his first two plate appearances. However, he came up clutch in the eighth inning, when his triple off Brandon Eisert brought Dane Myers and Nick Fortes home. Wagaman has struggled at the plate of late with a .115/.148/.231 slash line over his last seven games.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Getting rest Saturday
Bohm isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Cleveland.
Bohm will get a breather Saturday after recording hits in each of his last six games, going 8-for-22 with three RBI and four runs scored in the process. Edmundo Sosa will fill in at the hot corner and bat ninth.

Santiago Espinal 3B | CIN
Reds' Santiago Espinal: Steals bag in loss
Espinal started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 3-0 loss to Houston.
The stolen base was the first of the season for Espinal, who logged 11 thefts in a part-time role for the Reds in 2024. He's been more of a regular in 2025, appearing in 31 of Cincinnati's 40 games to date. Friday's start was his fifth in a row at third base since Noelvi Marte (oblique) became unavailable. It was Espinal's 10th overall start, including outings at shortstop, left field and right field. With Austin Hays activated off the injured list Friday, that frees up Gavin Lux to usurp starts at the third base, but Espinal has been a valuable and productive piece and should maintain a semi-regular role.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA
Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Homers in Friday's loss
Suarez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, two walks and three total runs scored in Friday's 14-11 loss to the Dodgers.
The first-inning homer was Suarez's first since his historic four-homer game versus Atlanta on April 26. The third baseman has a trio of multi-hit efforts in May, going 8-for-33 (.242) with six RBI over nine games this month. On the season, he's batting .210 with an .808 OPS, 11 homers, 26 RBI, 24 runs scored, six doubles and one stolen base. Suarez rarely hits for a good average anymore, but he can tap into power when he gets in a groove.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Stays hot
McMahon went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored Friday against the Padres.
McMahon still has an abysmal overall line for the season, but he has improved across his last eight games. He's gone 11-for-27 with three homers, six RBI and eight runs scored in that span, while striking out only 18.8 percent of the time.
-
Matt Chapman 3B | SF
Giants' Matt Chapman: Surging to begin May
Chapman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Twins.
Chapman smashed his third homer already in the month of May. Over his last 29 at-bats, the veteran third baseman is batting a strong .310 with three big flies, eight RBI, eight runs scored and one stolen base. Chapman has now reached base safely in eight consecutive outings, and his 29 walks on the campaign rank third in the major leagues.

Mark Vientos DH | NYM
Mets' Mark Vientos: Out of lineup again Friday
Vientos is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
Vientos is sitting for the second straight game. With Vientos on the bench, Brett Baty is making the start at third base and batting sixth against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon. Vientos is slashing .220/.301/.370 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored and a 15:30 BB:K on the season.
