  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Starts at hot corner again

    Duran went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Seattle.

    Duran started at third base for a second straight game, as primary starter Josh Jung (undisclosed) remained out of the lineup. Texas manager Skip Schumaker described Jung as "banged up" but available to play if needed. That suggests Duran's run could end soon.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Doubles twice in win

    Tovar went 2-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI on Wednesday against the Astros.

    Tovar completed a five-run rally in the second inning with a two-out RBI double. He added another two-bagger in his next plate appearance to mark only his second multi-hit effort of the season and first since March 30 -- a span of six starts. Tovar has managed 12 hits across 45 at-bats to begin the new campaign, though that's been paired with a 29.8 percent strikeout rate and only one stolen base and one home run.

  • Juan Brito SS | CLE

    Guardians' Juan Brito: Two more hits

    Brito started at second base and went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Royals.

    Brito made a second straight start at second base and logged two hits in each contest. He's getting a chance with Gabriel Arias (hamstring) out for four-to-eight weeks. Brayan Rocchio, who moved from second to cover shortstop for Arias, is hitting just .216 over 13 games. If Brito maintains the hot bat, he could replace Rocchio as starter when Arias returns.

  • Aidan Miller SS | PHI

    Phillies' Aidan Miller: Resumes taking swings

    Miller (back) has resumed swinging a bat, MLB.com reports.

    Although it's an encouraging step forward for Miller, there remains no clear timetable for his return to game action for Triple A Lehigh Valley. The 21-year-old shortstop, who is Philadelphia's top prospect, has been nursing lower-back soreness since spring training and figures to be brought along slowly amid his recovery.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Steals again

    De La Cruz went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Marlins.

    De La Cruz walked, stole a base and scored a run in the first inning. After failing to record a steal in the first eight games, De La Cruz has stolen a base in three of the last four contests.

  • Yairo Padilla SS | STL

    Cardinals' Yairo Padilla: Sidelined at Single-A

    Single-A Palm Beach placed Padilla on the 7-day injured list with a shoulder strain, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

    Padilla has consistently been around 20 percent better than league average while stealing 46 bases in 73 games at the rookie level across his age-17 and age-18 seasons. The switch hitter won't turn 19 until around midseason and has only hit one home run in pro ball, but if he grows into even fringe-average power, the rest of his tools (above-average hit, speed, defense) could carry him to an everyday shortstop role in time.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Ends drought

    Perdomo went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Mets.

    Perdomo's first-inning single snapped an 0-for-13 run. Following a breakout in 2025, when he had 20 home runs and 100 RBI, Perdomo's scuffled to open this season. He's slashing .179/.277/.308 with four RBI through 12 games; at this point last season, the shortstop slashed .293/.347/.415 with 12 RBI.

  • Pirates' Yordany De Los Santos: To 7-day IL

    High-A Greensboro placed De Los Santos on the 7-day injured list April 4 with an undisclosed injury.

    The 21-year-old infielder hit .375 with a home run and two steals in two games prior to suffering the injury. De Los Santos logged a .699 OPS in 116 games at Single-A in 2025.

  • Angel Martinez SS | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Martinez: Big day in big win

    Martinez went 4-for-5 with a double, a grand slam and a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-2 rout of the Royals.

    Getting the start in left field and batting second against southpaw Cole Ragans (thumb), Martinez's big blow came in the eighth inning, when he capped a five-run frame by dropping a slider from right-hander Steven Cruz into the right-field seats with the bases loaded. It was Martinez's first homer, and first RBI, of the year, and after a 3-for-21 (.143) start to the season he's racked up six hits in the last two contests.

  • Javier Sanoja SS | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Back to bench vs. righty starter

    Sanoja is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Sanoja will hit the bench after he had been included in the lineup at third base in each of the Marlins' last four games -- all against left-handed starting pitchers. Graham Pauley will settle back in at the hot corner Wednesday in place of Sanoja, who is likely to remain stuck in the short side of a platoon.
