Soler went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies.

Soler got the Marlins on the board with a first-inning solo shot and added an RBI double as they tried to rally in the ninth, but it ultimately wasn't enough. The homer was his fourth in the last eight games. Soler's up to 13 long balls, 10 doubles, 29 RBI, 25 runs scored and a .246/.323/.526 slash line through 47 contests.

Morel went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

Morel continued his incredible power surge, as he now has nine home runs in just 12 games this season. While this level of production has been unexpected, the youngster did record 16 home runs in 113 games as a rookie last year, so this isn't completely out of thin air. Morel is highly unlikely to keep this pace up, but he could be a strong fantasy contributor the rest of the way.

Pederson (hand) was still unable to grip the bat at full strength as of Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Pederson had been aiming to return to the Giants on their current road trip, which began Monday in Minnesota and runs through the coming weekend, but that seems doubtful to happen. He was placed on the injured list May 15 due to a right hand contusion and the swelling has yet to fully dissipate.

Carpenter is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Nationals.

Carpenter enjoyed a big day in the Padres' series finale against the Red Sox on Sunday, but he'll start out on the bench for Tuesday's opener against Washington with left-hander MacKenzie Gore set to take the mound. Nelson Cruz is serving as the DH and Brandon Dixon will play first base.

Canha is out of the lineup Tuesday night against the Cubs.

Tommy Pham, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte are starting across the outfield. Mark Vientos is taking a turn as the designated hitter. Canha has slashed just .232/.271/.357 over his last 59 plate appearances dating back to April 28.

Choi (Achilles) fielded grounders from his knees Tuesday in Pittsburgh, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Choi is easing back into baseball activities five weeks after being placed on the 10-day injured list because of a left Achilles strain. He was eventually transferred to the 60-day IL and probably won't be ready to return to the Pirates' active roster until late June or early July.

Martinez went 4-for-5 with two solo homers and three runs scored in Monday's win over Atlanta.

Martinez went deep to get the Dodgers on the board in the second inning and later clocked another homer in the seventh. It was his first multi-hit game since he collected four hits April 18. Martinez has three home runs in his last three games, giving him eight for the year with a .264/.310/.566 slash line through 142 plate appearances.

Meneses went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Tigers.

All three hits were singles, but it still extended a very productive stretch for Meneses. Over his last 20 games, the 31-year-old is slashing .349/.372/.446 with five doubles, a homer, 10 runs and 14 RBI.

Soler went 4-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Giants.

Soler opened the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning, and he added RBI singles in the third and fifth. He had gone just 3-for-22 (.136) across his previous six games, though two of those hits were homers. The 31-year-old is up to a .247/.324/.518 slash line with 12 homers, 27 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine doubles through 45 contests this season. He needs just one more long ball to match his total from 2022.

Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a homer, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's win against the Red Sox.

Carpenter drew a bases-loaded walk and later scored in the first inning. He then extended San Diego's lead with a two-run shot in the third. Carpenter had been stuck in an 8-for-45 (.178) skid over his previous 16 games since his last home run April 23. He's now slashing .211/.342/.422 through 111 plate appearances.
