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.

Manager David Bell said after Monday's 4-1 loss to the Padres that Moustakas was scratched from the lineup ahead of the game due to a right arm injury, but the third baseman is expected to start Tuesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Colin Moran picked up the start at the hot corner in the series opener in San Diego, but Moustakas looks as though he was only removed from the lineup for precautionary reasons. Assuming his arm doesn't present any issues during batting practice or defensive drills when he works out early Tuesday, he looks like he'll be ready to take back his normal role in the Cincinnati infield.

Urias went 2-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Athletics.

This was Urias' second multi-hit game of the season. The 27-year-old has been a fairly regular presence in the lineup as the Orioles' primary third baseman, but he's struggled to replicate his strong spring stats in the regular season. He's slashing .194/.237/.250 with one RBI, two runs scored, two doubles and 2:10 BB:K through nine contests.

Machado went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run in Monday's 4-1 win over Cincinnati.

Machado gave San Diego an early lead with his first-inning two-run shot to left field, and he didn't slow down from there. The veteran third baseman collected two more knocks to finish with his fourth multi-hit performance of the season. Machado is slashing .354/.404/.583 through 12 games, and he has recorded two homers, five doubles, eight RBI, 10 runs and three stolen bases.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Bregman singled and scored in the fourth inning. He then doubled and scored again on Yordan Alvarez's second homer of the game in the seventh. Bregman had been in a 1-for-16 slump over the previous five games. He's now batting .265 with six runs scored through 34 at-bats on the year.

Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Monday's 4-2 win over the Rays.

Wisdom took Shane McClanahan deep in the second inning for his first long ball of the 2022 campaign. Unfortunately, the 30-year-old struck out in his other two at-bats, giving him 14 punchouts through 33 at-bats to begin the season. He's batting .242 with six extra-base hits and eight RBI.

Kreidler was considered for a promotion to the majors with Javier Baez (thumb) landing on the IL over the weekend, though the team ultimately went with Willi Castro, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Castro is on the 40-man roster while Kreidler is not, which probably ended up being the driving factor, especially with Baez not expected to be out too long. However, the team does seem to think highly of Kreidler, and the 24-year-old may get called up for his MLB debut later this year. If Kreidler does get added to the roster at some point, Zack Short may be the odd man out.

Moustakas isn't starting Monday's game against San Diego, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Moustakas was initially listed in the starting lineup, but after the Reds moved Tyler Naquin (undisclosed) to the injured list, the new lineup did not include the veteran third baseman. It's unclear at this time why Moustakas was scratched from the starting nine, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com.
