Amed Rosario 3B | NYY
Yankees' Amed Rosario: Mashes two homers Tuesday
Rosario went 4-for-6 with two home runs, three total runs and four total RBI in a 15-1 rout of the Royals on Tuesday.
New York put on an explosive offensive performance in the victory, racking up 24 hits, including six homers. Rosario led the way with his two long balls, both of which were two-run shots. The utility man finished with his first multi-hit game since April 18, and the homer was his first since April 22. Rosario has played sporadically this season but has performed well when called upon, slashing .279/.316/.547 with six homers, 13 runs and 20 RBI over 95 plate appearances.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Triples, scores twice Tuesday
Keith went 2-for-2 with a triple and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Angels.
Keith had been slumping a bit with a .160 batting average across his last 10 games, but he snapped out of it with his first multi-hit effort since May 12 before getting lifted for a pinch hitter when Los Angeles turned to lefty reliever Mitch Farris in the fifth. The triple was also the first of the season for the 24-year-old Detroit infielder. Keith is now batting .289 overall, though he rarely gets to face southpaws, which limits his fantasy ceiling.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Cubs' Alex Bregman: Doubles, scores in loss
Bregman went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 12-1 loss to the Pirates.
The Cubs are in a tailspin with 10 straight losses, but Bregman is at least carrying his weight lately with a six-game hitting streak, and he's batting .348 during the hot stretch. The Chicago third baseman has still been a bit underwhelming overall with a .699 OPS, which is well below his career .839 mark, but his track record suggests he'll continue to trend upward as the season progresses.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Opening Tuesday's game on bench
McMahon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
Left-hander Bailey Falter is opening the game on the mound for the Royals, so the left-handed-hitting McMahon will begin the contest on the bench. He could end up subbing in for Amed Rosario -- who will start at third base -- at some point during Tuesday's game once Falter exits.

Max Muncy 3B | LAD
Dodgers' Max Muncy: Out Tuesday, as expected
Muncy (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.
As expected, Muncy will miss a fourth consecutive start after being hit on the wrist by a pitch Friday. Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that he was hoping to have Muncy back in action Wednesday, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, though the team is also not ruling out the possibility of an IL stint if Muncy is still limited in the coming days.

Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Available off bench Tuesday
Mayo (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.
Though he'll miss out on a fourth consecutive start Tuesday, Mayo said that his sore back feels much better after he went through a pregame workout and anticipates being able to play off the bench, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com. Blaze Alexander will cover third base Tuesday, but Mayo could return to the starting nine at the hot corner in Wednesday's series finale.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Checking back into starting nine
Jung (shoulder) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game against the Astros.
After getting the last two games off to recover from the sore left shoulder that knocked him out of Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels, Jung made enough progress in his recovery to reclaim his usual spot in the starting nine Tuesday. After a disappointing 2025 campaign, Jung has posted a career-best .819 OPS over 199 plate appearances to begin the current season.

Miles Mastrobuoni 3B | SEA
Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Begins rehab assignment
Mastrobuoni (calf) began a rehab assignment Monday with the Mariners' Arizona Complex League affiliate, going 0-for-2 with a 1:1 K:BB.
It was his first game action in more than four weeks, as he is working his way back from a right calf strain. The utility player should move up to a higher affiliate soon and is tracking toward a return in early June.

Bo Bichette SS | NYM
Mets' Bo Bichette: Bangs out three hits in loss
Bichette went 3-for-4 in Monday's loss to the Reds.
The knocks were all singles, but they went to waste in a Mets lineup that was missing Juan Soto (illness), Francisco Lindor (calf) and other key run-producers. Bichette has a slow start to his tenure with the team, but over the last nine games, he's slashing .308/.325/.564 with three home runs and nine RBI while looking more like the player who routinely posted a batting average of .290 or better and an OPS north of .800 with the Blue Jays.
