Marlins' Brian Anderson: Could be back this weekend
Anderson (oblique) is expected to return to the lineup around when he is first eligible, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.
Saturday is the earliest possible date for Anderson's activation from the IL, but with the Marlins getting an off day Monday, a more cautious approach would see him back on the field Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Collects two doubles in win
Arenado went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Phillies.
Arenado logged a double in each of his first two at-bats but caught a break in the first inning. Brad Miller misjudged a sliding catch in left field and the ball went off his glove and rolled all the way to the wall, giving him his lone RBI of the evening and tying the game up at 1-1. The two extra-base hits helped him snap a minor 0-for-10 drought and raised his slash line to .256/.309/.456 with four home runs, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored through his first 23 games as a Cardinal.

DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY
Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Reaches base three times
LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Orioles.
LeMahieu entered this game in a 2-for-20 slump, but he bounced back in a big way and reached base three times -- tying a season-high mark for him in that category. The second baseman is having a slow start to the season, though, and he's hitting just .262 with a .704 OPS thus far -- that average would rank as a career-worst mark for him excluding his rookie year in 2011.
