Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.

Ramirez is still looking for his first multi-hit effort of the campaign, but he was able to swat his first homer Wednesday to give the Guardians some breathing room in the eighth inning. The third baseman has added two doubles, five RBI, two stolen bases and two runs scored over seven games this season. Ramirez is hitting just .143 so far, but he's faced strong pitching staffs in the first two series of Cleveland's season. It shouldn't be long before he locks in as a well-rounded force at the plate and on the basepaths.

Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Busch ceded leadoff duties to Nico Hoerner with the Cubs facing lefty starter Yusei Kikuchi, but the former only slid down to fifth in the order and still turned in a strong effort. The Chicago first baseman is reportedly going to face southpaws more often this season, and Wednesday was a quality showing in that regard. While Busch will likely still perform better against righties overall, his ability to stay in the lineup most days should boost his fantasy stock.

McKinstry is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

McKinstry had started in three of the Tigers' last four matchups against right-handed pitchers, but he'll take a seat Wednesday against righty Zac Gallen. The final spot in Detroit's everyday lineup versus righties looks like it could come down to McKinstry and Javier Baez, but neither player has done much in the early going to take control of a regular role. McKinstry has gone 1-for-8 with three strikeouts thus far, while Baez has two hits in 11 at-bats.

McMahon is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

The Yankees are facing a righty in George Kirby, but the left-handed-hitting McMahon will nonetheless begin the game on the bench. Amed Rosario is at third base and batting seventh in Wednesday's series finale.

Chapman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Padres.

Chapman singled in the first inning before coming around to score San Francisco's third and final run of the frame. The veteran third baseman followed that up with a leadoff homer to left field in the third, marking his first long ball of the season. He's recorded at least one hit in three straight outings and is now slashing .222/.333/.389 with three runs scored, two RBI and a 3:3 BB:K across 21 plate appearances in five games.

Baty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

After taking a seat against Cardinals righty Andre Pallante in Tuesday's 3-0 loss, the left-handed-hitting Baty will remain on the bench as St. Louis sends southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the bump for the series finale. Mark Vientos will stick in the starting nine in Baty's place, manning first base and batting sixth.

Tena is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

The left-handed-hitting Tena had been included in the lineup for the first two games of the series while the Nationals faced off against right-handers, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday as southpaw Cristopher Sanchez toes the rubber for Philadelphia. Daylen Lile will get a day off from playing the outfield and will replace Tena as the Nationals' designated hitter.

The Rockies reinstated Freeman (back) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Freeman spent the minimum length of time on the shelf after the Rockies deactivated him prior to Opening Day while he recovered from lower-back inflammation. The 26-year-old didn't complete a rehab assignment prior to returning from the shelf, but he was able to get in some live at-bats during batting practice in Toronto the past two days, per MLB.com. Freeman is expected to fill a super-utility role for Colorado and should be a mainstay in the lineup against left-handed pitching while playing semi-regularly against right-handed pitching.

Suarez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Nathaniel Lowe will draw the start at designated hitter while Suarez rests for the first time this season as the Reds close out their series against Pittsburgh with a day game after a night game. Through Cincinnati's first five games, Suarez has gone 4-for-21 with one home run, one walk, four RBI and an additional run while striking out nine times.

Muncy went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-1 victory versus the Guardians.

Muncy gave the Dodgers a little breathing room with his solo shot to right field in the sixth inning to make the score 2-0. He also scored the final run of the contest in the eighth frame after rapping a single to center. The veteran third baseman notched his first RBI of the campaign on the solo blast, but he's hit well so far, slashing .364/.553/.636 through five games. He's also showing his usual good eye at the plate with more walks (four) than strikeouts (three).
