  • Kyle Schwarber LF | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Getting start in outfield

    Schwarber will start in left field and bat third in Wednesday's game versus the Giants, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    It's the first start in the outfield this season for Schwarber, who made five starts in left field last year. Schwarber's fantasy managers would love for the slugger to gain outfield eligibility, but there's no guarantee it will happen during the 2025 season.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Returns to lineup Wednesday

    Suzuki (wrist) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Wednesday's game versus the Padres.

    Suzuki missed three starts with right wrist soreness but is feeling well enough to give it a go in Wednesday's series finale. The 30-year-old is sporting a .292/.390/.538 batting line with four home runs in his first 17 contests this season.

  • Gavin Sheets RF | SD

    Padres' Gavin Sheets: Getting day off against lefty

    Sheets is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

    With the Cubs sending southpaw Matthew Boyd to the bump, the left-handed-hitting Sheets will retreat to the bench. Luis Arraez will replace Sheets in the lineup as San Diego's designated hitter.

  • Kris Bryant RF | COL

    Rockies' Kris Bryant: Expected back when first eligible

    Rockies manager Bud Black said Monday that he expects Bryant (back) to return when first eligible April 23, Andres Soto of MLB.com reports.

    Bryant was diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disc disease, the latest in a series of back problems for the 33-year-old. Black indicated when Bryant was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier this week that it's an injury the designated hitter is just going to have to manage moving forward. Bryant has just a .400 OPS and 31.7 percent strikeout rate in 11 games with the Rockies this season.

  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Logs rare stolen base in loss

    Flores went 0-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base during Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.

    Flores stole his first base since May 10, 2021, before coming around to score his third run over the club's last four games in the fourth frame. The 33-year-old also logged his 21st RBI of the season on a groundout in the sixth inning. He now ranks first in the majors in RBI ahead of Pete Alonso (20) and Aaron Judge (20). Flores is slashing .242/.277/.532 with six homers and a 2:11 BB:K across 65 plate appearances.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Sitting third straight

    Suzuki (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus San Diego.

    Tuesday marks the third consecutive game that Suzuki will miss after leaving Saturday's contest early with a wrist issue. Manager Craig Counsell said immediately after Suzuki got hurt that the 30-year-old can be considered day-to-day, though the Cubs may consider placing him on the injured list if he doesn't return to the lineup soon. Justin Turner will serve as Chicago's designated hitter in Suzuki's place Tuesday.

  • Jesse Winker DH | NYM

    Mets' Jesse Winker: Not starting Tuesday

    Winker is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    The veteran slugger returned to the lineup Monday after sitting out a few days due to flu-like symptoms, but he's back on the bench Tuesday despite the fact Minnesota is sending a righty (Bailey Ober) to the mound. Winker isn't reported to be dealing with any further issues, and he could just be getting some extra rest after recovering from the ailment. Starling Marte is receiving another turn at designated hitter in his place.

  • Spencer Steer 1B | CIN

    Reds' Spencer Steer: Absent from Tuesday's lineup

    Steer is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

    Steer remains limited to designated-hitter duty and Austin Hays is getting the start there in his first game back from the injured list. Steer has been ramping up his throwing lately, so it's possible he could be ready to play the field soon.

  • Marlins' Jonah Bride: Designated for assignment by Miami

    Bride was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Tuesday.

    Bride was removed from the 40-man roster in order to make room for Jesus Sanchez and his return from the 10-day injured list. Bride was off to a rough start this season, slashing .100/.200/.100 with zero extra-base hits, two RBI, three runs scored and a 5:15 BB:K across 45 plate appearances. Bride hit right-handed pitching well in 2024, slashing .302/.364/.550 with a .248 ISO, .382 wOBA and 144 wRC+ spanning 173 trips to the plate. The 29-year-old will look to get his bat going in the minors.

  • Bryan Reynolds LF | PIT

    Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Hits in four straight

    Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Nationals.

    Reynolds remains limited to designated-hitter duties as he manages triceps soreness, though he has started to show some life at the plate. He has a modest four-game hitting streak, but the fantasy impact has been minimal as his only counting stats in that span came during Monday's performance.
