Jesse Winker DH | NYM
Mets' Jesse Winker: Sitting again versus righty
Winker is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins.
This marks Winker's second straight absence from lineup against a right-handed pitcher. Starling Marte reached base three times and drove in two runs Tuesday and will be rewarded with another start at designated hitter in Wednesday's series finale.

Bryan Reynolds LF | PIT
Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Goes deep Tuesday
Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals.
Reynolds got the Cardinals on the board with a solo home run in the fourth. The 30-year-old now has four extra-base hits and four RBI over his last four games, though he's striking out at a 31.4 percent clip early on in the season, which is much higher than his career average.

Christian Yelich LF | MIL
Brewers' Christian Yelich: Belts solo homer in win
Yelich went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Colorado.
Yelich went back-to-back with William Contreras for a solo blast in the seventh inning, giving the Brewers a 6-1 lead. It's still been a sluggish start at the dish by Yelich, who's slashing .139/.279/.306 with two long balls and six RBI through 43 plate appearances, but the star left fielder does have two stolen bases already this year.

Kyle Schwarber LF | PHI
Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Cranks fifth homer
Schwarber went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and drove in two additional runs in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to Atlanta.
Schwarber was able to log a rare triple Tuesday -- his first since 2023 and 13th of his major-league career -- which drove in two runs in the third, and on his next at-bat he took Chris Sale deep for a 462-foot moonshot to center field. Schwarber has started the season slashing .324/.444/.811 with six walks, five home runs and 11 RBI across 45 plate appearances.

Andrew McCutchen DH | PIT
Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Stepping out of lineup
McCutchen is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
McCutchen has a .988 OPS through 26 plate appearances this season but will receive a day off Tuesday. Bryan Reynolds is serving as the designated hitter while Jack Suwinski receives a start in the outfield.

Jonah Bride 3B | TEX
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.
