  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Records RBI single in win

    Chapman went 1-for-5 with an RBI during Monday's 10-4 win over the Phillies.

    The third baseman singled on a grounder to shortstop Trea Turner in the ninth inning, beating the throw to first and driving in Mike Yastrzemski for the Giants' final run. The RBI single marked Chapman's first hit since the club's win over Seattle on April 5. The 31-year-old didn't draw a walk in the victory, though he's tied for the third-highest total in the majors with 14 free passes thus far. Chapman is slashing .179/.343/.321 with two homers, two doubles, nine RBI, eight runs and a 14:19 BB:K across 70 plate appearances in 16 games.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Begins baseball activities

    Lewis (hamstring) has taken on-field batting practice since Thursday and fielded groundballs in defensive drills Monday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Lewis is demonstrating some signs of progress since he suffered a left hamstring strain March 16. It's not clear when he may begin a rehab assignment, but he could be on track to return from the 10-day injured list in early May.

  • Andy Ibanez 2B | ATH

    Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Records two hits, two RBI in win

    Ibanez went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 9-1 win over the Brewers.

    This was the first multi-hit game of the year for Ibanez, who's been scuffling a bit overall with a .185 batting average. The utility player batted .241 during the regular season for the Tigers in 2024 and .264 the year prior, so he should be able to continue to trend upward in that category.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Drills two homers

    Riley went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Monday's win over Toronto.

    Riley knocked a two-run shot in the third inning and added a three-run homer in the fifth. After starting the season in a 5-for-35 (.143) slump, the slugging third baseman has caught fire. He's gone 14-for-31 (.452) with six extra-base hits and eight RBI over his last seven games. During that span, Riley has produced six multi-hit performances.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Steals base, drives in three

    Hayes went 2-for-4 with a steal and three RBI in Monday's 10-3 victory over the Nationals.

    After getting a breather Sunday, the Pittsburgh third baseman opened the game's scoring in the first with a run-scoring single off starter Brad Lord. Hayes later plated two more on another single in the eighth inning, then stole second when on the basepaths. This performance marks the 28-year-old's first multi-hit effort since April 5 against the Yankees. Overall, Hayes is now slashing .232/.317/.339 with three steals across 63 plate appearances.

  • Oliver Dunn 2B | CHW

    Brewers' Oliver Dunn: On bench against lefty

    Dunn is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

    With lefty Tarik Skubal on the bump for Detroit, the left-handed-hitting Dunn will give way to platoon mate Vinny Capra at third base. Dunn has logged 28 of his 34 plate appearances against right-handed pitching this season, but he's still slashing an underwhelming .194/.212/.258 while striking out at 23.5 percent clip.

  • Tyler Wade SS | TEX

    Padres' Tyler Wade: Starting Monday vs. Cubs

    Wade is starting in center field and batting eighth against the Cubs on Monday.

    Wade appears to be San Diego's top option at center field with Jackson Merrill (hamstring) and Brandon Lockridge (hamstring) both on the 10-day injured list. Wade will make his first major-league start of the season Monday after filling in as a defensive substitute twice during the weekend series against the Rockies. The 30-year-old appeared in 90 regular-season games for the Padres in 2024, slashing .217/.285/.239 with eight stolen bases, 28 runs scored and eight RBI across 155 plate appearances.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Back in action Monday

    India (quadricep) will serve as the Royals' designated hitter and leadoff batter in Monday's game against the Yankees.

    He'll re-enter starting nine after he sat out his first game of the season in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Guardians while tending to right quad tightness. The Royals will ease India back into the lineup in a non-defensive role, but he should be ready to resume playing in left field or at third base within the next few days.

  • Will Wagner 2B | SD

    Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Absent from lineup

    Wagner is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus Atlanta.

    It's the first time this season that Wagner is not in the lineup against a right-handed pitcher. Ernie Clement will handle third base and bat fifth versus Atlanta hurler Grant Holmes.

  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Nationals' Amed Rosario: Taking seat Monday

    Rosario is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

    After CJ Abrams (hip) was placed on the injured list Saturday, Rosario picked up starts at third base in both of the Nationals' ensuing two games, with Paul DeJong shifting over to Abrams' spot at shortstop in both contests. DeJong will remain in the lineup Monday, but he'll be back at third base while Nasim Nunez picks up a start at shortstop. Rosario still likely stands to benefit the most from Abrams' absence, as the Nationals will presumably look to find ways to keep the 29-year-old's bat in the lineup while he's produced an .816 OPS through his first 30 plate appearances of the season.
