  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Big day at the plate

    Rojas went 3-for-4 with a home run, triple, four RBI and three runs scored Sunday against the Phillies.

    Rojas began his productive day at the dish with a three-run home run in the second inning against Vince Velasquez. He followed that with an RBI triple in the fourth inning before coming around to score. Rojas notched multi-hit performances in all three games against the Phillies, and he will get a few more positive matchups as the Marlins open a series against Baltimore on Monday.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Goes yard Sunday

    Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Yankees.

    Turner entered the game 0-for-7 on the season but came through with a nice day at the dish. The highlight came in the third inning, when he took Jonathan Loaisiga deep for his first home run of the campaign. He'll look build on this multi-hit performance as the Nationals square off against the Blue Jays in their second series of the season.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Timely hitting to close out win

    Edman went 1-for-5 with a two-run triple in a win over the Pirates on Saturday.

    As expected heading into the season, the 25-year-old Edman appears to have an everyday role at third base with the implementation of the universal designated hitter affording Matt Carpenter the opportunity to slide into that role. Edman has only two hits in his first 10 at-bats, but Saturday's three-bagger in the eighth inning brought home Harrison Bader and Kolten Wong to close out the scoring. Edman legged out an impressive seven triples in his first big-league season in 2019, and his above-average speed could well lead to a healthy amount of three-baggers again this year.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Rough day in field Saturday

    Turner went 0-for-5 with a strikeout and committed two errors in Saturday's win over the Yankees.

    The Nats' leadoff hitter has stumbled out of the gate, as he went 0-for-2 in Thursday's opener as well. It's not surprising that some players are a little further behind the curve than others given the nature of this season, but Turner should find a groove eventually. Whether that's quickly enough to satisfy those with fantasy shares in him during an abbreviated 60-game schedule is another question.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Scores run in return

    Camargo (hamstring) went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Mets.

    Camargo ended up only missing one game as he recovered from a mild hamstring strain. The 26-year-old played all 10 innings at third base and batted seventh in the contest. He scored on a William Contreras double in the 10th inning. Camargo's best path to at-bats will be at third base, but he has the defensive capabilities to serve in a utility role if he can't produce at the dish.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Collects two more RBI

    DeJong went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored during Saturday's 9-1 win over the Pirates.

    The 26-year-old clubbed a clutch two-run homer during the eighth inning of Friday's opener, and he brought home two more runs during Saturday's contest. DeJong is 3-for-7 with three runs, four RBI and a walk over the first two games, and he'll look to cap off the series in style Sunday versus Pirates starter Mitch Keller.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Collects first two hits of season

    Baez went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

    Baez went 0-for-4 in Friday's season opener but bounced back quickly. He remains one of the most potent offensive players in the league and should produce good counting stats in the heart of a strong Chicago lineup.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Not starting Saturday

    Crawford isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Crawford went 1-for-5 over the first two games of the season and will get a day off Saturday. Mauricio Dubon will shift to shortstop with Darin Ruf entering the starting lineup at first base, batting fourth.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Collects three hits

    Seager went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and a walk in Friday's victory over San Francisco.

    Seager tied for fourth in the majors with 44 doubles last season, and he has picked up where he left off by registering a two-bagger in each of his first two games in 2020. The 26-year-old has a favorable spot in the middle of the Dodgers' loaded lineup and based on pure talent alone could stake his claim as one of the league's most productive shortstops now that he is back to full health.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Slugs clutch homer

    DeJong went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's victory over Pittsburgh.

    DeJong belted a two-run shot to left field off Richard Rodriguez in the eighth inning for what proved to be important insurance runs in the Cardinals' 5-4 victory. The 26-year-old hit a career-high 30 homers last season and has averaged a healthy 24.6 long balls per season over the first three years of his career.
