  • Gavin Sheets RF | SD

    Padres' Gavin Sheets: Idle versus southpaw

    Sheets is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Rockies on Sunday.

    With Colorado sending southpaw Kyle Freeland to the mound, Sheets will retreat to the dugout while Luis Arraez serves as the designated hitter. Sheets has gone 2-for-5 with two walks and a solo homer in the first two games of the series.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Considered day-to-day

    Cubs manager Craig Counsell said after Saturday's win over the Dodgers that Suzuki (wrist) is considered day-to-day, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Suzuki was lifted from Saturday's contest in the top of the fifth inning due to right wrist pain. Counsell said Suzuki initially injured the wrist Monday against the Rangers. If Suzuki is unable to play in Sunday's series finale against Los Angeles, Justin Turner would be the most logical candidate to fill in as the designated hitter.

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Leaves game with wrist issue

    Suzuki was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to right wrist pain, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Miguel Amaya pinch hit for Suzuki in the top of the fifth inning. Suzuki initially dealt with wrist discomfort earlier this month when the Cubs were in Sacramento facing the Athletics. Before leaving Saturday, Suzuki was 0-for-2 at the plate. He entered the day slashing .302/.400/.556 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 11 runs scored, one stolen base, 11 walks and a league-high 23 strikeouts.

  • Josh Bell DH | MIN

    Nationals' Josh Bell: Drives in two runs Saturday

    Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in Saturday's 7-6 loss to Miami.

    Bell tied things up in the third inning, when his single to left field brought Keibert Ruiz and James Wood across home plate. Bell has gone 3-for-11 with three walks, three runs scored, one home run and five RBI across his last three starts.

  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Logs four RBI in loss

    Flores went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two additional RBI during Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.

    Flores tied the game at two runs apiece with a 394-foot, two-run home run to right-center field during the second inning. The 33-year-old is currently tied for the league lead in homers this season, hitting six over 14 games. The veteran infielder also lined a two-out, two-run single into right field and is up to 19 RBI on the season, ranking second behind Aaron Judge (20). Flores is slashing .275/.302/.627 in 53 plate appearances so far in 2025.

  • Jesse Winker DH | NYM

    Mets' Jesse Winker: Losing work to Marte

    Winker isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

    Saturday will be the fourth straight game Winker has missed following a 5-for-24 start at the plate. All of his reps have been going to Starling Marte, who will work as New York's DH on Saturday while batting fifth.

  • Gavin Sheets RF | SD

    Padres' Gavin Sheets: Strong start in platoon role

    Sheets went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Friday against Colorado.

    Sheets continued to help pour it on for the Padres in the seventh inning, blasting a 371-foot homer to right field to make it an 8-0 game. The lefty-hitting corner outfielder regularly starts on the bench and yields to Yuli Gurriel when San Diego is up against a southpaw, which limits his overall fantasy appeal, but Sheets is batting a strong .333 with two long balls, two doubles and eight RBI over 36 at-bats to open the campaign.

  • Josh Bell DH | MIN

    Nationals' Josh Bell: Smacks second homer of 2025

    Bell went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run homer in Friday's 7-4 win over the Marlins.

    Bell smacked his first home run since March 30 in the sixth inning, when he took the first pitch from Edward Cabrera deep to right field for a 395-foot, two-run home run. Bell has reached base safely in eight straight games, and over that span he has gone 6-for-24 with seven walks, five runs scored, one home run and three RBI.

  • Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT

    Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Belts third homer

    Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Rays.

    Ozuna reduced the deficit to three runs in the eighth inning when he drove a 92-mph fastball from Edwin Uceta deep for a 425-foot solo homer to left-center field. Ozuna has logged home runs in back-to-back games and has three homers in his last six games. Over that six-game span, he's gone 10-for-25 with two walks, seven runs and six RBI.

  • Pavin Smith RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Taking seat against lefty

    Smith isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Milwaukee.

    Smith has been white-hot to start the season, slashing .400/.486/.667 through his first 35 plate appearances, but the D-backs won't risk him cooling down against the left-handed Jose Quintana on Friday. Randal Grichuk will serve as the team's DH instead and bat third.
