  • 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.

  • Gavin Sheets RF | SD

    Padres' Gavin Sheets: Idle versus lefty

    Sheets is not in the Padres' lineup against the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Sheets will begin the game on the bench with the Athletics sending southpaw Jeffrey Springs to the mound. Yuli Gurriel will start at first base, and Luis Arraez will bat as the designated hitter Tuesday.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Tigers' Justyn-Henry Malloy: Picking up sixth straight start

    Malloy will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Malloy will make his sixth consecutive start -- including his fifth in a row out of the leadoff spot -- after getting on base at a .462 clip in 26 plate appearances since his March 31 call-up. The 25-year-old's long-term path to regular playing time could become murkier once the Tigers get at least one or two of Gleyber Torres (oblique), Matt Vierling (shoulder), Wenceel Perez (back) and Parker Meadows (arm) back from the injured list, but with none of those players are expected to return in the near future, Malloy should continue to enjoy a full-time role in a prominent lineup spot.

  • 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.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Belts first homer

    O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Monday in a 5-1 victory versus Arizona.

    O'Hearn helped the Orioles get off to a positive start with a solo shot to right field in the first inning. The long ball was his first of the campaign, though he also has three doubles among his eight hits. O'Hearn has been in and out of the Orioles' lineup, but he's hit well when given the chance, slashing .308/.379/.538 through 29 plate appearances.

  • 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.
