Tovar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Reds.

Tovar tallied the Rockies' lone run of the game with a solo home run off Brandon Williamson in the sixth inning. After showing signs of life at the plate, Tovar has gone only 3-for-28 with four RBI and three runs scored while striking out at a 41.4 percent clip across his last eight games. He's had an inconsistent start to his first full season in the majors, hitting only .216/.259/.360 across 147 plate appearances.

Edman went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers.

After Tuesday's effort, Edman now has seven hits, five runs and two RBI over his last two games. Prior to May 15, he had just six hits over 11 games in May. Edman's two stolen bases were his first since April 27. He's combined for 62 steals over the last two seasons, so expectations are that his stolen bases will pick up as the year carries on. He's now slashing .275/.333/.473 with six homers, 17 RBI, 22 runs, five steals and an 11:21 BB:K over 146 plate appearances.

Adames went 1-for-3 with an RBI double, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Adames kicked things off with a double in the first to score Owen Miller and put the Brewers out front 1-0. He would also steal third in the inning for his fourth stolen base of the year. Adames entered Tuesday's game in a 3-for-27 slump and hadn't recorded an RBI since May 8. The 27-year-old has scuffled to a .170/.224/.302 slash line to go along with nine RBI, four runs and a 3:14 BB:K over 14 games in May thus far.

Crawford is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Phillies.

Crawford returned from his left calf strain over the weekend, but the Giants will ride with hot-hitting youngster Casey Schmitt at shortstop Tuesday. J.D. Davis is at third base and Thairo Estrada is playing second.

Cheng has a .262/.382/.524 slash line with four home runs, nine steals and an 18.5 percent strikeout rate in 29 games for High-A Greensboro.

The 5-foot-7 infielder has split time evenly at shortstop and second base for the Grasshoppers, and his likely long-term home is the keystone. Cheng's command of the strike zone has been impeccable dating back to 2021 when he was in complex ball, but this power output is unexpected for the 21-year-old. He has the highest pull (46.9 percent) and flyball (37.2 percent) rates of his career.

Berti is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.

Berti has fallen back into more of a utility role with the Marlins and will need a fresh uptick in starts to make his speed count for fantasy purposes. He is also just 6-for-9 on stolen-base attempts this season.

Amaya is slashing .362/.423/.553 through 52 plate appearances in May for Triple-A Jacksonville with four doubles, a triple, a homer and a 5:6 BB:K.

The 24-year-old may not ever be a true asset as a hitter in the majors, but Amaya's glove is big-league ready and all he really needs to do is demonstrate he won't be a liability at the plate before he'll get a chance to take over as the Marlins' starting shortstop. That could happen before the All-Star break, considering that Joey Wendle has had trouble staying healthy and has gone 3-for-28 (.107) to begin the season when he has been in the lineup.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and one steal in Monday's 10-3 win over the Mets.

Abrams recorded his third straight multi-hit game Monday, and during that stretch, he's hit two home runs and collected five RBI. Across 39 games (142 plate appearances), the shortstop is slashing .258/.305/.417 with four home runs, 22 RBI and 16 runs scored. He's also 5-for-7 in stolen-base attempts. Despite some occasional struggles, Abrams figures to be an everyday player for the Nationals, who are currently in last place in the NL East.

Arcia went 2-for-2 with a home run, a double, two walks, three total runs and two total RBI in Monday's 12-0 win over the Rangers.

Arcia's perfect game at the plate included a two-run homer and a double that came before Ronald Acuna's two-run shot. Before Monday, Arcia hadn't gone deep since April 6 against San Diego, though he missed nearly a month soon thereafter with a wrist injury. The shortstop is slashing a robust .333/.395/.551 with three homers, 10 RBI and 14 runs through 20 games on the season.

Edman went 4-for-5 with a home run, four total runs and two total RBI against the Brewers in an 18-1 win Monday.

The Cardinals racked up 16 hits in the rout, and Edman was responsible for a quarter of those with his first four-hit performance of the campaign. Two of his hits came in the eighth inning, as he led off the 10-run frame with a solo homer and later notched a two-run single. This was a much-needed big game for the second baseman, as he had gone just 3-for-24 over his previous eight contests.
