    Pirates' Henry Davis: Showing minor improvement

    Davis went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against Arizona.

    Davis homered Tuesday after entering the game following Joey Bart's (concussion) departure and slugged a two-run home run. He then started Wednesday and delivered an RBI single in the second inning while also recording his third multi-hit performance in his last five appearances. Davis could get more consistent run in the absence of Bart, though Endy Rodriguez (finger) is also back from the injured list.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Monster performance in win

    Ramirez went 4-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Padres.

    Ramirez launched a solo home run in the third inning and later ignited the Marlins' comeback with a two-run single in the eighth that put them ahead 9-8. It was a career day for the rookie, as he set personal bests with four RBI and four hits. On the season, he's slashing an impressive .262/.318/.525 with seven homers, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, and one stolen base across 132 plate appearances.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Back in Wednesday's lineup

    Kelly (illness) is starting behind home plate and batting fifth against the Rockies on Wednesday.

    Kelly is back in the lineup after being omitted from Tuesday's starting nine due to an illness, though he did pinch hit for Reese McGuire in the ninth inning. Kelly has slashed .241/.328/.389 with 11 runs, two home runs and three RBI in 61 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Out with concussion

    The Pirates placed Bart on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a concussion.

    The 28-year-old was struck in the head by a backswing Tuesday and will be unavailable for at least the next week while in the concussion protocol. The Pirates reinstated Endy Rodriguez (finger) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, and he should split catching duties with Henry Davis while Bart is sidelined.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Getting Wednesday off

    Moreno is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Moreno started the previous four games and will receive a breather Wednesday after going 5-for-16 with a double and a triple during that span. Jose Herrera will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Zac Gallen in the series finale versus Pittsburgh.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Receiving breather Wednesday

    Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Bailey started the first two games of the series and will rest Wednesday while in the midst of a 2-for-18 slump. Sam Huff will bat eighth and do the catching for righty Landen Roupp.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Alvarez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Alvarez went 2-for-5 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch in the first two games of the series and will take a seat for Wednesday's finale. Luis Torrens will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Griffin Canning.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Being evaluated for head injury

    Bart was removed from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks after being hit in the head with a backswing, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Interim manager Don Kelly said after the game that Bart is still being evaluated, so it's unclear if he's suffered a concussion. Regardless, the 28-year-old seems likely to sit out Wednesday afternoon's series finale in Arizona after starting the first two games of the series.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Homers again

    Stephenson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-2 win over Kansas City.

    Stephenson gave the Reds an early lead with his solo shot in the second inning, his second straight game with a home run. He's had a rough start after spending the first few weeks of March/April on the injured list, but Stephenson has come on recently, going 6-for-18 with four extra-base hits and five RBI over his last five games. He's batting .214/.321/.414 through 20 contests this season.

  • Henry Davis RF | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Clubs homer Tuesday

    Davis went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Davis is 4-for-9 with three RBI over his last four contests. The 25-year-old catcher has seen limited playing time this season, batting .204 with a .638 OPS, two homers, six RBI and six runs scored across 56 plate appearances. He hadn't logged an extra-base hit since his first homer of the year, which was April 16 versus the Nationals.
