  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Swipes bag in loss

    De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Texas.

    De La Cruz doubled then stole third base in the fourth inning but was left on base. The steal was De La Cruz's second of the season. Through six games, he's batting .333 (8-for-24) and is the lone Reds regular with an average above .250.

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Smacks solo homer Wednesday

    Abrams went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Toronto.

    Abrams got the Nationals on the board in the sixth inning, when he took Brendon Little deep for a 386-foot solo homer to right field. Abrams had a productive series in Toronto despite Washington being swept, with the 24-year-old shortstop going 5-for-12 with two doubles, three runs, two home runs and three RBI. The Nationals have an off day Thursday before starting a three-game home series against the Diamondbacks on Friday.

  • Orlando Arcia 3B | COL

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Resting Wednesday

    Arcia isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Arcia will get a second consecutive day off after beginning the season 2-for-13 with five strikeouts. Nick Allen will fill in at shortstop and bat sixth.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Returning to lineup Wednesday

    Turner (back) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

    Turner will make his first start since Opening Day, as he's been battling lower-back spasms. He appeared as a pinch hitter in Monday's 6-1 win and is back in the lineup for the second game of the series Wednesday.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Settling into No. 2 spot

    Adames will start at shortstop and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Astros, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    After inking a $182 million deal in free agency this winter, Adames has quickly found a home in the No. 2 spot in the lineup, batting out of that spot in the order in each of the Giants' first six games. Though the Giants head into Wednesday's contest with a 4-1 record, Adames hasn't played a big role in the team's early success thus far; he's slashing just .158/.190/.211 with three RBI and one run.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Collects first hit, steal

    Lindor went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Marlins.

    The shortstop is notorious for having slow starts at the plate, and 2025 has been no exception so far as Lindor went 0-for-11 in his first three games. Tuesday's steal was also his first of the campaign after he swiped 60 in 68 attempts over the prior two seasons combined. There's little concern with Lindor's long-term production, but his history suggests he won't begin to warm up until the weather does -- his .741 career OPS in March/April is his lowest in any month, with an .886 OPS in July being his high-water mark.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Launches decisive homer

    Betts went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer during Tuesday's 3-1 win against Atlanta.

    The shortstop's throwing error during the second inning gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead, but he redeemed himself with a 369-foot shot to left field in the sixth. Betts has a hit in all four of the games he's appeared in so far this season, going 6-for-16 with three home runs, six RBI and six runs scored.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Tallies three hits Tuesday

    Abrams went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, a run and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

    Abrams doubled his early-season hit total and swiped his second bag of the year. He now has three extra-base hits in his last two games and bumped his batting average up to .286 after Tuesday's strong performance.

  • Orlando Arcia 3B | COL

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Sitting Tuesday

    Arcia is absent from Atlanta's lineup against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

    Arcia went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in the series opener against the Dodgers on Monday. He will get his second off day of the season with Nick Allen starting at shortstop and batting ninth.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Returns to lineup Tuesday

    Lindor (personal) will play shortstop and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Marlins.

    Lindor didn't play in Monday's win over the Marlins following the birth of his third child, but he's back at the top of the batting order for the second game of the series. The reigning National League MVP runner-up is still looking for his first hit this season.
