  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Alex Bregman: Drives in three Tuesday

    Bregman went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Phillies.

    All three of Bregman's hits were singles, but fantasy managers won't complain about the third baseman's fourth multi-hit effort of the year through 17 games. Overall, Bregman is batting .243 with only a .659 OPS. He posted an .822 OPS last season in Boston, and his bat will likely continue to heat up as the year progresses. Bregman has also played in all of Chicago's games so far, making his playing time look very secure.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Sitting again Tuesday

    Mayo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

    It's the second straight day on the bench for Mayo, who has struggled through his first 12 games of 2026 with a .158/.273/.184 slash line and 29.5 percent strikeout rate in 44 plate appearances. Blaze Alexander is picking up another start at third base Tuesday for Baltimore.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Taking seat Tuesday

    Bohm is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Bohm's absence from the lineup is his first of the season that's a pure lineup decision, as his previous time on the bench April 7 in San Francisco was due to minor groin tightness. The 29-year-old third baseman launched a three-run home run Opening Day but is batting just .145 (8-for-55) with one extra-base hit in the ensuing 14 contests. Bohm has been dropped from the cleanup spot for the past week, batting sixth, seventh or eighth in his last four starts.

  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Patrick Wisdom: Contract selected

    The Mariners selected Wisdom's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

    The 34-year-old joined Seattle as a non-roster invitee in January after spending the 2025 campaign playing in the Korea Baseball Organization, and he'll get a look in the majors with Rob Refsnyder going on the paternity list. Wisdom has enjoyed a strong start to the campaign at Tacoma with nine homers and a 1.145 OPS in 15 games. He isn't likely to see significant playing time with the Mariners but could see some action against left-handed pitching.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Swipes second bag of season

    Riley went 1-for-5 with a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Marlins.

    The 29-year-old third baseman has never been much of a runner -- his career high in steals is three and his career high in attempts in four, marks he set in 2023 -- but Riley already has two stolen bases in two attempts through the first 17 games of 2026. Atlanta's addition of Antoan Richardson to the coaching staff may have something to do with Riley's newfound spark on the basepaths, as it was Richardson who helped Juan Soto jump from seven steals to 38 with the Mets last season. The rest of Riley's offensive profile continues to lag, however, as he's slashing just .226/.324/.274 and has yet to homer this year.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Extends hit streak

    Jung went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 8-1 win over the Athletics.

    Jung extended a hit streak to five games with an eighth-inning double that drove in the Rangers' final two runs. A rocky start to the season has given way to modest production since Jung's return from a two-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. Since rejoining the starting nine, Jung is 5-for-13 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs over the last four contests.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Powers offense with two homers

    Burger went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, four total RBI and a walk in an 8-1 win over the Athletics on Monday.

    Burger gave the Rangers all the runs they would need with a three-run blast off Luis Severino in the first inning. The powerful first baseman tagged Severino for another homer -- this time a solo shot -- in the eighth. Burger went deep in each of his first two games this season, but he hadn't homered again until Monday. He's at a .246/.279/.492 slash line, four home runs, 11 RBI and six runs through 68 plate appearances on the campaign.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Turns back clock in two-homer game

    Arenado went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Monday's loss to Baltimore.

    It was the 25th career multi-homer showing by the veteran third baseman, who also piled up at least five RBI for the 11th time in his decorated career. Arenado's days as a high-end fantasy producer may have passed, as he's still off to a miserable start in his Diamondbacks tenure overall. Through 54 at-bats, Arenado is hitting .204 with three extra-base hits, eight RBI, one walk and six runs scored.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Swipes two bags in victory

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run and two stolen bases Monday in a 9-3 win against the Cardinals.

    Ramirez helped generate a run in the fourth inning when he walked, stole second base and came home on a single. The star third baseman added another theft following a single in the fifth. Ramirez began the campaign hitting .133 through his first 12 games, but he seems to be turning things around. Over his past five contests, he has gone 7-for-20 (.350 batting average) with two doubles, a homer, two RBI, four walks and five steals.

  • Angels' Jeimer Candelario: Clears waivers

    The Angels outrighted Candelario to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

    Candelario was designated for assignment by the Angels on Saturday, and he'll remain in the organization at the Triple-A level after clearing waivers. After securing a spot on the Angels' Opening Day roster, Candelario slashed just .111/.200/.222 over 20 plate appearances before being cut loose.
