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.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with a double, a steal and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.
Bichette knocked a double in the third and came around to score on a home run by Vladimir Guerrero. It was Bichette's first extra-base hit since he had two doubles April 16. Bichette also swiped his third bag of the year, all of which have come since April 18. He leads the team with 36 hits and has nine extra-base hits but remains homerless this year after only totaling four in 81 games last season.

Josh H. Smith SS | TEX
Rangers' Josh Smith: Joins offensive party
Smith went 3-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 15-2 win over the Athletics.
Smith kicked off the fun of Texas' eight-run sixth inning, leading off with a single. He hit second in the order after serving as a leadoff hitter recently. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy has tinkered with the lineup, hoping to unlock a struggling offense, and it worked Tuesday. Smith, who is currently filling in for the injured Corey Seager (hamstring) at shortstop, is batting .319/.402/.458 with 10 walks, two home runs, six RBI, four steals and 13 runs scored through 24 games.

Chase Meidroth SS | CHW
White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Aiming for weekend return
Meidroth (thumb) could return during the White Sox's upcoming weekend series against the Astros, MLB.com reports.
Meidroth landed on the injured list April 21 due to right thumb inflammation. There have been very few updates about his recovery, though everything appears in line for him to return in short order. It's also unclear if he'll engage in a short rehab assignment prior to activation.

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.

Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Belts solo shot in Tuesday's loss
Henderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 15-3 loss to the Orioles.
The Orioles didn't have as much firepower as the Yankees on Tuesday, but Henderson managed to supply one run for Baltimore on a solo homer in the seventh inning. It was his third home run of the season, and the 23-year-old shortstop is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak, going 6-for-19 (.316) over that span.
