Rendon went 2-for-5 with a run scored in a 7-2 win Tuesday in Houston.

Rendon singled and scored in the five-run fifth inning. He had missed the previous two games with a stomach bug. After starting the season 1-for-13, he has a hit in his last five appearances and is 6-for-19 over that span. The 32-year-old has just one extra-base hit on the season and is slugging .427 since joining the Angels in 2020.

Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rays.

Wisdom entered as a pinch hitter for Jason Heyward in the bottom of the fourth inning, immediately taking Josh Fleming deep for his second long ball of the 2022 campaign, scoring Frank Schwindel in the process. After starting the season 1-for-21 from the plate, the 30-year-old has put together a nice five-game hitting streak, batting .533 with seven extra-base hits and seven RBI over those contests.

Senzel is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in San Diego.

Senzel was activated from the injured list Monday but has yet to enter the lineup for Cincinnati. TJ Friedl will start in center field and bat leadoff Tuesday after being promoted from Triple-A Louisville earlier in the day.

Moustakas was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right biceps strain. The transaction is retroactive to Monday.

Manager David Bell said Moustakas was expected to start Tuesday after missing Monday's game with the injury, but the third baseman will instead make his way to the injured list. It's unclear exactly how long the 33-year-old is expected to be sidelined, though he'll be eligible to be reinstated April 28. Colin Moran should see more time at third base during his absence.

Rendon (illness) is starting at third base and batting third Tuesday against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon was a late scratch for Monday's contest due to a stomach bug, but he's back in the lineup a day later. The 31-year-old is off to a slow start in 2022 with a .185/.303/.296 slash line and 27.3 percent strikeout rate through eight games.

Toro will serve as Seattle's designated hitter and will bat eighth Tuesday against Texas.

Toro has been the main playing-time beneficiary of Mitch Haniger's (illness) recent move to the COVID-19 injured list. He'll pick up his third start in a row after Haniger tested positive for the virus Saturday. Expect Toro to return to his normal utility role as soon as Haniger clears MLB's testing protocols.

Wisdom is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Wisdom had just one hit and 11 strikeouts in his first six games of the year, but he's gone 7-for-12 with five doubles, a homer and just three strikeouts over his last four games. Jonathan Villar will get the start at third base Tuesday.

Anderson will start in left field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

After filling in as the Marlins' left fielder in Sunday's win over the Phillies while Garrett Cooper (elbow) was out, Anderson will stay in the outfield for the second straight game, as Cooper is playing first base while Jorge Soler takes a seat. Anderson is getting his third consecutive start overall, after going 4-for-6 with a double, two walks and three runs between the previous two contests. Though he doesn't possess an everyday gig at any position, Anderson's ability to play the two corner-infield and corner-outfield spots should be enough for him to earn a handful for starts per week.

The Giants recalled Vosler from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Vosler missed out on an Opening Day roster spot but will join the team less than two weeks later. He struggled to a .178/.256/.356 line in 82 plate appearances as a 27-year-old rookie last season, so he doesn't seem likely to carve out a major role. Luke Williams was optioned to clear a roster spot.

Kieboom (elbow) was expected to resume playing light catch last week, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez hasn't confirmed that Kieboom was cleared to begin a throwing program, but even if that's the case, the 24-year-old still isn't expected to make his 2022 debut for the big club until at least early June after landing on the 60-day injured list March 21. Kieboom's injury to begin the season paved the way for Maikel Franco to break camp as the Nationals' everyday third baseman. Franco has produced a modest .727 OPS through his first 43 plate appearances, but that's probably enough to keep him secure atop the depth chart for now.
