  • Josh Bell DH | MIN

    Nationals' Josh Bell: Out of Washington lineup

    Bell is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Dodgers.

    It's a routine day off for Bell, who is sporting just a .603 OPS on the season. James Wood is getting a start at designated hitter Tuesday for the Nationals while Alex Call handles left field.

  • Marlins' Jonah Bride: Sitting third straight

    Bride is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    It's the third consecutive game on the bench for Bride, who has gone just 2-for-28 with five walks and 10 strikeouts through 33 plate appearances this season. The 29-year-old started seven of Miami's first eight contests, but the slow start to the campaign appears to have pushed him into a reserve role.

  • Jesse Winker DH | NYM

    Mets' Jesse Winker: Exiting lineup Tuesday

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

    Though he typically starts against right-handed pitchers like the Marlins' Connor Gillispie, the left-handed-hitting Winker will check out of the lineup Tuesday to open up the designated-hitter role for Starling Marte. Winker has gotten off to a sluggish start to the season, hitting .208 with three extra-base hits (two triples, one double), four RBI and a 3:7 BB:K over 27 plate appearances.

  • Yohel Pozo C | STL

    Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Homers in return to majors

    Pozo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Pirates.

    Playing in his first game at the major-league level since 2021, Pozo lined one over the left-field wall off of Carmen Mlodzinski in the sixth inning for his second career home run. The 27-year-old boasts a career .321/.343/.545 batting line at the Triple-A level, but it's unlikely he will see enough playing time to make a fantasy impact over the next few weeks while Ivan Herrera (knee) is shelved.

  • Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Drives in two runs

    McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a run scored in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

    McCutchen ripped a two-run double and came around to score during Pittsburgh's four-run seventh inning. He's turned in two multi-hit performances over his last three appearances, boosting his season slash line to .348/.423/.565 with three extra-base hits and four RBI through 26 plate appearances. McCutchen appears to be a safe bet for regular playing time, even as Bryan Reynolds occasionally slots in as a DH while he nurses a minor triceps issue.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Contributes to easy win Monday

    Suzuki went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-0 win over the Rangers. He also stole a base.

    Suzuki had a good all-around effort Monday, which included his first stolen base of the season. The outfielder isn't a huge speed threat, though he did have a career-high 16 steals a season ago. If Suzuki gets a little more aggressive on the bases in 2025, he could be poised for his first campaign with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases. He reached the 20-homer plateau in each of the last two years.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Double shy of cycle Monday

    Ohtani went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a triple and a walk in Monday's 6-4 loss the Nationals.

    The Japanese superstar was a perfect 3-for-3 against southpaw starter MacKenzie Gore. After leading the game off with an infield single, Ohtani slugged a 378-foot homer in the third inning to tie the game at 2-2. The three-time MVP wasn't finished, however, returning in the fifth to hit his first triple of the season. Ohtani looks headed for another great season, as he's opened with a .311/.436/.644 slash line across 55 plate appearances.

  • Marlins' Jonah Bride: Exiting lineup Monday

    Bride is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    Bride will head to the bench for the second time in three games after producing just two hits through his first 26 at-bats of the season. He'll cede his spot in the lineup to Eric Wagaman, who draws the start at first base while Matt Mervis gets a day out of the infield and serves as Miami's designated hitter.

  • Bryan Reynolds LF | PIT

    Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Not in Monday's lineup

    Reynolds is out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Cardinals.

    It's the first day off this season for Reynolds, who is still not ready to play the outfield as he deals with right triceps soreness. Alexander Canario is getting the call in right field Monday while Andrew McCutchen serves as the Pirates' designated hitter.

  • Yohel Pozo C | STL

    Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Officially added to roster

    The Cardinals selected Pozo's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

    Pozo will serve as the team's backup catcher behind Pedro Pages for at least the next 10 days while Ivan Herrera (knee) is on the injured list. The 27-year-old Pozo was off to a hot start at Memphis with two home runs and three doubles over his first 21 plate appearances.
