  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Triples, steals base in win

    Swanson went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple, two runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Dodgers.

    Swanson recorded a triple, his first of the campaign, in the first inning to tie the game at 3-3. The veteran shortstop is still off to a slow start in 2025, slashing .180/.231/.360 with four home runs, 13 RBI, 14 runs scored and three stolen bases in 25 games (100 at-bats). However, Swanson entered Tuesday's action with a strong 52.9 percent hard-hit rate and 30.1 percent squared-up rate, per Statcast, so fantasy managers have some reason for optimism moving ahead.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Battling hamstring injury

    Seager was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics due to right hamstring tightness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning Newsreports.

    Texas was up 8-2 when Seager left the game, so it's possible the team's decision to pull him was simply precautionary, but the Rangers should provide some clarity sometime in the near future. If the 30-year-old ends up needing to miss time, Josh Smith would likely pick up some reps at shortstop.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Runs hitting streak up to 13 games

    Pena went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over Toronto.

    It was the first three-hit attack of the campaign by Pena, who extended his hitting streak to 13 games Tuesday. During this stretch, the speedy shortstop is batting .333 (16-for-48) with one home run, six RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases. Pena may not have the same run-scoring fantasy upside as he would with a higher spot in the lineup, but his hot hitting could help him work his way up the batting order.

  • Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Ortiz is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Giants on Tuesday.

    Ortiz will take a seat after going 1-for-18 with two runs scored over his last five games. Vinny Capra will start at shortstop and bat seventh against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks.

  • Nick Allen SS | HOU

    Braves' Nick Allen: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Allen is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Allen started the previous four games but will take a seat Tuesday after going 1-for-12 with a walk and five strikeouts during that span. Orlando Arcia will step in at shortstop against St. Louis righty Andre Pallante.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Back from injured list

    The Cardinals reinstated Winn (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    The 23-year-old landed on the shelf April 12 due to back spasms, but he's ready to rejoin the Cardinals after a minimum-length stay on the injured list. Winn had a slow start to the campaign with a .603 OPS through 13 contests, though he found his power stroke during a three-game rehab assignment with two homers.

  • Will Wilson SS | SEA

    Guardians' Will Wilson: Added to big-league roster

    The Guardians selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Wilson is receiving his first promotion to the big leagues after posting a .324/.418/.647 slash line and six homers in 18 games to begin the season for Columbus. The 26-year-old was selected by the Guardians in the minor-league portion of the Rule 5 Draft in December and is off to a hot start with his new organization. Wilson likely won't have a clear path to regular playing time with Gabriel Arias playing well at second base early this year.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Starting rehab assignment

    Abrams (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday.

    Abrams is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, but the Nationals want him to play at least one rehab game first. Barring any setbacks, Abrams should rejoin the Nats' active roster later this week. He's been out since mid-April with a right hip flexor strain.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Belts two homers

    Lindor went 2-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI and a walk in Monday's win over the Phillies.

    For the second straight day, Lindor popped a leadoff homer to spark the Mets' offense. He then hammered a three-run shot in the seventh inning. The star shortstop had one long ball through 18 games but has since gone deep four times in his last four appearances. Lindor is slashing .284/.340/.500 with 16 runs scored and nine extra-base hits through 100 plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Termarr Johnson: Collects two hits in return

    Johnson (knee) went 2-for-5 with a double and one run scored during Sunday's game against Double-A Somerset.

    Johnson picked up a minor knee injury during Friday's matchup against the Patriots, but it only sidelined the 20-year-old for one game. His quick return to the field is positive news for the organization, which hopes to see the young prospect take another step forward in 2025 after struggling in his brief taste of action at Double-A a season ago.
