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.

Agustin Ramirez C | MIA
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.
-
Padres' Elias Diaz: Knocks first home run
Diaz went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.
Diaz's two-run shot in the second inning ended up being the only offensive production in the 2-0 win. It was his first home run of the year and first hit since April 11. Diaz is slashing .190/.306/.286 through 50 plate appearances.

Carson Kelly C | CHC
Cubs' Carson Kelly: Receiving Tuesday off
Kelly is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Dodgers.
Kelly went 0-for-4 in Sunday's contest but has been one of the biggest stories in baseball early this season with six homers and a 1.502 OPS through 49 plate appearances. The 30-year-old and Miguel Amaya continue to split playing time behind the plate, however, with Amaya getting the start Tuesday.

Patrick Bailey C | SF
Giants' Patrick Bailey: Logs two RBI in win
Bailey went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Monday's 5-2 win over Milwaukee.
Bailey lined an RBI single into right field to put the Giants on the board in the second frame. The 25-year-old added a sacrifice fly in the eighth, driving in San Francisco's final run. Bailey recorded just his second hit over his last five appearances, during which he's gone 2-for-18 with four RBI and a 1:9 BB:K. The switch-hitting catcher is now slashing a lackluster .169/.231/.271 with eight RBI, seven runs scored, five extra-base hits and a 5:23 BB:K across 65 plate appearances.
