  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Goes yard twice in matinee

    Winn went 2-for-3 with two walks, two solo home runs and a stolen base in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Reds.

    The 23-year-old shortstop hadn't gone yard since he hit his first homer of the year April 7, but Winn crushed a Brady Singer sinker to left field in the first inning before capping a back-to-back-to-back set of long balls off Alexis Diaz in the ninth. Winn then went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in the nightcap. Since returning from back trouble about a week ago, he's gone 9-for-28 (.321) over the last eight games.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Receiving first day off

    Perdomo is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mets.

    It's the first day off this season for Perdomo, who reached base twice in the first game of the series Tuesday. Garrett Hampson is at shortstop and batting ninth for the Diamondbacks.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Showing signs of snapping slump

    Betts went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 15-2 rout of the Marlins.

    Betts got in on the Dodgers' offensive outburst, slapping a two-run single in the third inning and adding another single before coming around to score in the sixth. The outfielder-turned-shortstop began the second half of April with a 4-for-35 stretch at the plate, but his bat has begun to warm up of late. Over his past three contests, Betts has gone 4-for-13 with four RBI and just one strikeout, though he doesn't have an extra-base hit during that stretch.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Multi-hit effort in defeat

    Adames went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

    Adames blasted a 399-foot solo shot to right-center field in the fourth inning, putting the Giants on the board. The 29-year-old shortstop followed with a double to lead off the sixth and later came around to score on an RBI single by Jung Hoo Lee. Adames struggled to begin the 2025 campaign but has been trending upward of late, slashing .294/.381/.529 with four RBI, three runs scored and a 3:4 BB:K across 21 plate appearances in his last five games.

  • Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Swipes two bags in win

    Ortiz went 2-for-5 with two steals and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

    Ortiz notched multiple base hits for the first time since April 11 and doubled his season stolen-base total with a pair of thefts. He now has four hits in his last three games, with two of those going for extra bases. It's been a struggle at the dish on the whole for Ortiz this season, however, as he's slashing .190/.264/.229 with just three extra-base knocks, five RBI, 12 runs and a 9:17 BB:K in 112 plate appearances.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Hitting second Wednesday

    Winn is starting at shortstop and batting second in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Cincinnati.

    Winn had been slated to hit in the two hole before Tuesday's game was rained out, and he'll remain there for the first game of Wednesday's twin bill. It's the first time this season he's batted anywhere other than ninth.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Finally goes yard Tuesday

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Giants.

    The veteran infielder got hold of a hanging slider from Randy Rodriguez in the seventh inning, hooking it down the left-field line for a two-run shot. It was Bogaerts' first homer of 2025 as he looks to escape his early-season doldrums, and through 29 games he's slashing .253/.342/.364 with four steals, eight RBI and 13 runs.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Sends one out Tuesday

    Lindor went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

    Lindor's lone hit of the evening was a two-run blast in the second inning off Eduardo Rodriguez for his first extra-base hit since he last homered April 21. Lindor has now reached safely eight times over his last four games and continues to be productive atop the batting order. He's slashing .302/.364/.491 with six homers, 16 RBI, 21 runs, two steals and an 8:18 BB:K in 132 plate appearances.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Breaks slump with home run

    Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Pirates.

    Swanson entered the game 0-for-9 over his last two contests and batting just .181 overall, but he responded to a move down to the No. 8 spot in the order with his fifth home run of the season. The shortstop should maintain his regular role despite the early struggles, and he has the talent to get things going in a hurry.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Knocks four hits

    Abrams went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, one RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies.

    Abrams hit an RBI double in the seventh inning and later scored in the ninth after a single. He also had a triple in the third inning and fell a home run shy of the cycle. Abrams now has five multi-hit games in 17 appearances this season, resulting in a .279/.306/.559 slash line.
