  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Heating up in April

    Abrams went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to Arizona.

    Abrams got the Nationals on the board with a solo shot in the first inning off Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. After going just 2-for-13 in three outings to open the campaign, Abrams is 7-for-16 with three long balls, two doubles, four RBI and one stolen base over his past four contests.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Plays hero Friday

    Adames went 3-for-7 with a double, three RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Mariners.

    Adames hit an RBI double in the fifth inning to give the Giants a 6-5 lead. That was one of many twists and turns in the game, which ended with his two-run, walk-off single in the 11th. He doubled his hit total for the season and is now batting .200 (6-for-30) with six RBI and three runs scored over seven contests. Adames also logged his first steal of the campaign, and he could be a contributor with his speed after a career-high 21 thefts in 2024 with the Brewers.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: First multi-hit effort of season

    Volpe went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Pirates.

    Volpe's RBI single in the fourth inning sparked a three-run inning that gave the Yankees plenty of breathing room. The shortstop has hit safely in six of seven games this season, but this was his first multi-hit effort, lifting his batting average to .286 on the year. He's added four home runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored with a 2:7 BB:K. He hit 33 homers and added a total of 120 RBI across 319 contests the last two years combined, but he's off to a strong start in 2025.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: On base three times Friday

    Lindor went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jays.

    Lindor's bat is coming around after a slow start to the season. He's hit safely in three straight games and also collected his second steal of the campaign, as well as his first two walks and first extra-base hit, in this contest. The shortstop is batting .136 over six games and has added two RBI and three runs scored so far this season. He's a notorious slow starter, but fantasy managers should expect Lindor to be fine in the long run, especially if he stays atop a strong lineup.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Ready to play shortstop

    Neto (shoulder) will start at shortstop Friday as he continues his rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake, Bees play-by-play announcer Tony Parks reports.

    The 24-year-old began the rehab assignment Tuesday and was limited to serving as the designated hitter in his first few games, but he's now been cleared to play the field. Neto could be ready to make his 2025 debut for the Angels sometime next week after he gets in a few games defensively.

  • Nick Allen SS | HOU

    Braves' Nick Allen: Third straight start

    Allen is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Friday's game against the Marlins.

    It's the third straight start for Allen, who has three hits and two stolen bases in the first two of those starts. He could be making a push to take the starting job away from Orlando Arcia.

  • Orlando Arcia 3B | COL

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Absent from lineup again Friday

    Arcia is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Marlins.

    After starting four of the first five games of the season, Arcia has now been absent from the lineup in three straight contests. Nick Allen will make his third straight start at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Activated ahead of season debut

    The Orioles activated Henderson (intercostal) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Henderson got a late start to the season after suffering a right intercostal strain in late February, but he's ready to go after playing five rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk and slugging a pair of home runs. The 23-year-old superstar finished fourth in the American League MVP voting in 2024 after collecting an .893 OPS with 37 home runs and 21 stolen bases.

  • Vidal Brujan 2B | NYM

    Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Recovery stalled

    Brujan's recovery from a right elbow strain has stalled, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Throwing in particular remains an issue for Brujan. It's not clear whether he will be shut down for a bit or just limited in his activities, but either way the utility player is not close to coming off the 10-day injured list.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Playing multiple infield spots

    Lawlar started at second base and went 3-for-4 with a walk and three RBI in Thursday's game for Triple-A Reno.

    Lawlar, who was limited to 21 games in 2024 due to multiple injuries, has started the first six games for the Aces. He's lined up at shortstop three times while playing second base twice and third base once. Lawlar is batting .273 (6-for-22) with four walks, two steals, four RBI and five runs. The Diamondbacks may be preparing him for a super-utility role later this season.
