  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Poised to return Friday

    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Alvarez (hand) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday against the Nationals, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Alvarez will play one more rehab game with Double-A Binghamton on Wednesday, and as long as he gets through that without any hiccups, he'll be activated Friday and likely in the lineup for the series opener versus the Nationals. The catcher is 7-for-35 with one home run in his first nine rehab contests. Alvarez is coming back from surgery on a fractured hamate bone in his left hand.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Day off after torrid start

    Ramirez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Ramirez started the first two games of the series and went 5-for-6 with three doubles, one RBI and a stolen base. He'll get a breather for Wednesday's matinee. Liam Hicks will do the catching and bat seventh for the Marlins.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Day off Wednesday

    Pages is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Atlanta.

    After catching each of the first two games of the series, Pages will grab a seat for Wednesday's matinee. Yohel Pozo is behind the dish and batting seventh for the Cardinals in the series finale.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Out of Cincinnati lineup

    Trevino is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Miami.

    Trevino caught each of the first two games of the three-game set, so he's earned a breather for Wednesday's finale. Austin Wynns is behind the plate and batting ninth for the Reds.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Taking seat Wednesday

    Murphy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals.

    Murphy caught both of the first two games of the series but will receive a day off for Wednesday's matinee. Drake Baldwin will start behind the plate and bat sixth for Atlanta.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Goes deep again Tuesday

    Murphy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals.

    Murphy got Atlanta on the board with a solo blast in the fourth. It was Murphy's sixth big blast of the season in just his 12th game, and he currently leads the team in home runs. Murphy's batting average continues to hover around the Mendoza Line and currently sits at .209, but he's made up for it so far with his power and sports a .948 OPS.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Sensational start continues Tuesday

    Smith went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

    Smith launched a homer, his third of the year, in the sixth inning to cut into Chicago's lead and make it a 7-5 game. The hard-hitting backstop does receive the occasional day off, but he's been sensational at the dish early in 2025. Smith is slashing .350/.453/.567 with four doubles, 15 RBI, eight runs scored and one stolen base through 75 trips to the plate, and his RBI upside in fantasy should remain among the elites in a star-studded Dodgers lineup.

  • Miguel Amaya C | CHC

    Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Hits key home run Tuesday

    Amaya went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-10, 10-inning win over the Dodgers.

    Amaya delivered an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning but saved his best for last Tuesday night. The catcher's ninth-inning home run with two outs tied the game at 10 before the Cubs prevailed in extras. Amaya has been a solid producer with a .278 average, .798 OPS and two long balls across 15 games as he continues to split playing time with Carson Kelly.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Stays hot Tuesday

    Ramirez went 3-for-3 with two doubles, one RBI and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

    Ramirez once again sparked Miami's offense, this time with a pair of doubles. He was also caught stealing and has attempted a stolen base in each of his first two MLB appearances. The rookie catcher could provide valuable speed at his position; Ramirez stole 53 bases in 63 attempts over his minor-league career, including 22 in 24 attempts last season. He is 5-for-6 with three doubles in his first two big-league games.

  • Luis Torrens DH | NYM

    Mets' Luis Torrens: Brings home two runs Tuesday

    Torrens went 2-for-4 with a two-run single in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Phillies.

    Torrens gave the Mets a four-run lead in the seventh inning, when he smacked an 86-mph sweeper from Tanner Banks to left field for a single that brought home Pete Alonso and Mark Vientos. Tuesday marked Torrens' third multi-hit game of 2025, and he's slashing .228/.267/.386 with two runs scored, one home run and eight RBI in 60 plate appearances this season.
