  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Three hits, homer in win

    Longoria reached base in each of his first four at-bats, with his third-inning three-run homer doubling the Giants' lead to an early 6-0 margin. This continues a hot stretch for the veteran third baseman, who's gone 7-for-16 with two homers and seven RBI over his past four games.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Socks 10th homer

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

    Suarez launched his 10th homer of the season off Max Scherzer in the sixth, but that would be everything he'd contribute to the win -- he struck out in each of his other three at-bats. The veteran has reached double-digit long balls for the seventh year in a row, though he isn't contributing much in other categories -- he owns a .150 average with a meager .586 OPS.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Launches 13th homer

    McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's loss to the Mets.

    McMahon put the Rockies on the board by taking Jacob deGrom deep in the second inning. The 26-year-old is now batting .258/.306/.527 on the season while leading the Rockies in homers (13), hits (47) and RBI (31).

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Managing joint inflammation

    Davis (finger/neck) underwent an MRI that showed joint inflammation in his left hand and will receive treatment before resuming baseball activities, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

    The 28-year-old had his rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse paused over the weekend due to neck stiffness, and he returned to the Mets to be evaluated after experiencing some hand soreness during a workout. Davis appeared close to returning from the injured list, but that timeline has now been pushed back while he's receiving treatment for the inflammation.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Pauses rehab to receive treatment

    Davis (finger/neck) returned to New York City from his rehab stint at Triple-A Syracuse to receive treatment, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    The 28-year-old was expected to be in the lineup Tuesday for Syracuse after his rehab assignment was paused over the weekend due to neck stiffness, but he instead rejoined the team for treatment. According to Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record, Davis hasn't suffered any setbacks with the finger or neck, so he may still be able to return from the injured list early next week as previously expected.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Moves to paternity list

    LeMahieu was placed on the paternity list Tuesday.

    The 32-year-old was already absent from Tuesday's lineup due to the birth of his child, so the move to the paternity list is hardly a surprise. LeMahieu can spend up to three games on the paternity list, but he could also rejoin the team earlier.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Facing multi-week absence

    GM Kim Ng said Tuesday that Anderson (shoulder) will be sidelined for at least the next several weeks, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

    The 28-year-old landed on the injured list earlier Tuesday with a left shoulder subluxation, and he'll end up being sidelined well beyond the 10-day minimum. Anderson can safely be ruled out into mid-June, though it's possible he misses more time. Jon Berti and Isan Diaz are the likely candidates to see reps at third base in the meantime.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Day off Tuesday

    Chapman is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.

    Chapman is 1-for-20 over his past six games and will take a seat Tuesday for the second time this season. Chad Pinder will step in at third base for the Athletics.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Could be available off bench

    Manager Jayce Tingler said that Machado (shoulder) will hit prior to Tuesday's game against the Brewers and could be available off the bench, depending on how he feels, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    While Machado will be absent from the Friars' starting nine for the fifth consecutive game, Tingler's update indicates that the star third baseman could return to the lineup as soon as Wednesday, assuming all goes well with his Tuesday hitting session.
