  • 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.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | TEX

    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.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Homers among three hits Monday

    Ohtani went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs against the Rockies in a 5-3 win Monday.

    Ohtani's homer came in the third inning, when he belted a 408-foot shot to center field. Prior to Monday, the star slugger had been in a bit of a power drought, going deep just once over his previous nine games. Ohtani's spot atop the Dodgers' order has hamstrung his ability to drive in runs to some extent, as he has just six RBI through 18 games. Beyond that, though, he's been quite productive, posting a .296/.390/.549 slash line, five homers and four stolen bases. He's also scored 18 runs, second-most in the majors.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Absent from starting nine

    Suzuki (wrist) isn't starting Monday's game against the Padres.

    Suzuki can continue to be considered day-to-day while dealing with a right wrist injury. Justin Turner will see another start in Suzuki's absence, as he'll slot into the DH spot and bat third against Dylan Cease in Monday's series opener.

  • Kris Bryant RF | COL

    Rockies' Kris Bryant: Heads to IL with back injury

    The Rockies placed Bryant on the 10-day injured list Monday with lumbar degenerative disc disease.

    Back injuries have plagued Bryant throughout his tenure with the Rockies and this latest stint on the injured list figures to be a lengthy one. The 33-year-old has just a .400 OPS and 31.7 percent strikeout rate in 11 games for Colorado this season. Kyle Farmer is starting at designated hitter Monday while Adael Amador plays second base.

  • Kris Bryant RF | COL

    Rockies' Kris Bryant: Absent from lineup again

    Bryant is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Dodgers.

    Bryant isn't dealing with any known injury, but this is the second day in a row he's been out of the lineup and the third time across the last four games versus a right-hander that he hasn't started. The 33-year-old has a .400 OPS and 31.7 percent strikeout rate in his first 11 tilts this season. For the second straight day, Kyle Farmer is starting at designated hitter Monday while Adael Amador plays second base.
