  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Goes deep in win

    Seager went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-5 win over Baltimore.

    Seager clubbed his second homer of the season, a solo shot in the ninth inning. The multi-hit effort was the third in five starts for Seager, who is 6-for-18 with four RBI to open the season. The early production is an encouraging sign for the shortstop, who was limited to 102 games in 2025.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Homers in win

    Duran started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Orioles.

    Duran put the Rangers up early with a solo shot in the third inning. He filled in for the struggling Josh Jung, who is 0-for-17 to start the season. The versatile Duran has started twice this season -- the other start coming at second base -- and contributed an extra-base hit and RBI in each contest.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Begins rehab assignment

    Crawford (shoulder) went 0-for-4 with a walk in his first rehab game with Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

    Crawford played all nine innings at shortstop in his first game action in three weeks. The veteran infielder's rehab assignment happened to kick off on the same day the Mariners announced a contract extension with top shortstop prospect Colt Emerson, who played third base for the Rainiers next to Crawford on Tuesday. Emerson is expected to remain at Tacoma for now and Crawford could be activated at any time, but the former could eventually push aside the latter when he's ready to take over at shortstop with the big club.

  • Vaughn Grissom SS | LAA

    Angels' Vaughn Grissom: Kicks off rehab assignment

    Grissom (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a single in his first rehab game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

    Grissom was declared ready for game action as he works his way back from a sprained left wrist. The infielder is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list and could be ready to go Friday when the Angels open up their first homestand of the season. Once activated, Grissom will be in the mix for playing time at second and third base for the Halos.

  • Oneil Cruz SS | PIT

    Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Goes yard twice in win

    Cruz went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and a third run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Reds.

    The 27-year-old center fielder crushed a Brandon Williamson cutter an estimated 444 feet to lead off the fourth inning, before adding a two-run blast in the ninth off Pierce Johnson. They were Cruz's first homers and RBI of the season, and while he's batting .278 through five games, he's also struck out nine times in his first 19 plate appearances of 2026.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Busts slump with big game Tuesday

    Adames went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in a 9-3 win against the Padres on Tuesday.

    Adames had been very quiet coming into Tuesday, going 2-for-15 with six strikeouts and no RBI over his first four games. The veteran shortstop wasted no time erasing the poor start from memory, going deep to left field to lead off the contest. Adames added an infield single in the second inning, an RBI single in the sixth and a double in the eighth to round out his night. He bumped his season OPS from .266 to .800 with the performance.

  • Jose Fernandez SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jose Fernandez: Homers twice in MLB debut

    Fernandez went 3-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and a strikeout in Tuesday's 7-5 win against the Tigers.

    Starting at third base in his major-league debut, the 22-year-old put the Diamondbacks on the board during the fourth inning with a solo shot and followed up with a three-run blast in the eighth to erase a 5-4 deficit. Fernandez was expected to primarily serve as a reserve infielder for Arizona after getting promoted Monday, but the impactful debut could net him more opportunities in the short term with Pavin Smith (elbow) on the injured list.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Drives in pair of runs

    Wilson went 2-for-4 with a two-run double during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Atlanta.

    Wilson's ground-rule double in the second inning brought Andy Ibanez and Lawrence Butler home to give the Athletics a 3-1 lead. Wilson has logged two hits in two of his last three outings, though he's gone 0-for-13 with four strikeouts in his other three appearances of the regular season. He's looking to build off a strong 2025 campaign in which he slashed .311/.355/.444 with five steals (on seven attempts), 13 home runs and 63 RBI across 523 plate appearances.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Stepping out of lineup

    Baez isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

    Baez will stay put in Detroit's dugout to begin Tuesday's festivities while Kevin McGonigle gets the nod at shortstop and Colt Keith starts at the hot corner.

  • Aidan Miller SS | PHI

    Phillies' Aidan Miller: Not yet taking swings

    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that Miller (back) has increased his rehab activities but is not yet swinging a bat, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    The nagging back injury has been bothering Miller going back to the fall, and his baseball activity is apparently still pretty limited as he's opened the campaign on Triple-A Lehigh Valley's injured list. Once cleared for all activities, the 21-year-old top prospect will need some time to build up to game readiness after missing all of spring training.
