Lee went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a double in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.

Lee hit a two-run double to right field in the seventh inning, driving in San Francisco's final pair of runs. He also added a single in the ninth, marking his third multi-hit performance over the last five games. The 27-year-old outfielder is now slashing .272/.316/.386 with 17 runs scored, 14 RBI, two home runs and zero steals across 171 plate appearances this season.

Lindor (calf) will undergo an MRI this week, likely on Wednesday, to check on his recovery, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

If the results of the imaging are encouraging, a clearer timeline for the star shortstop's return from a calf strain should come into focus. Lindor is out of a walking boot, but as of yet there's no concrete plan for him to resume baseball activities. The 32-year-old has been sidelined since April 22 and has a disappointing .226/.314/.335 slash line through 105 plate appearances.

Peete was placed on the 7-day injured list at High-A Peoria on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury.

Per Redbird Farmhands, Peete appeared to hurt his hand on a stolen base during Peoria's game Tuesday. The young outfielder had been in Peoria's initial lineup Wednesday before the IL move was made, so his absence should be brief. Acquired over the offseason from the Mariners in the Brendan Donovan trade, Peete has offered a mixed bag at Peoria this season, slashing .276/.355/.537 with five homers and five steals but also a 31.9 percent strikeout rate.

Riley went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.

The third baseman took Colin Rea deep in the fifth inning as part of a four-run frame for Atlanta that swung the game. Three of Riley's six homers on the season have come in May, and over 10 games this month he's slashing .316/.341/.579 with eight RBI, albeit with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate. Riley has a history of warming up with the weather, with July (.927 OPS) and August (.859 OPS) being the best months over his career, but May isn't far behind at an .841 OPS.

Smith went 4-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.

While none of the knocks went for extra bases, it was still a strong showing for the 30-year-old. With Sean Murphy (finger) back on the IL, Smith should resume his role as Atlanta's primary DH against right-handed pitching. Through 81 plate appearances with the platoon edge this season, he's erupted for a .378/.407/.581 slash line with four homers and 18 RBI.

Giolito is expected to enter the Padres' rotation this weekend in Seattle, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

He will likely take over Matt Waldron's spot in the San Diego rotation. After not signing until late April, Giolito has been pitching in the minors to sharpen up. He looked excellent his last time out Sunday with Double-A San Antonio, striking out three over six innings of one-run ball. Giolito has been pitching on four days' rest in the minors, so he could join the Padres' rotation as soon as Friday, but if the club doesn't want to push Randy Vasquez back, Giolito's turn would come Saturday or Sunday. He threw 74 pitches Sunday, so Giolito might have less than a full workload versus the Mariners.

Fien (wrist) was activated from the 7-day injured list by Single-A Fredericksburg on Wednesday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

Fien has finally been cleared to return to action after being shelved since early April with a left wrist injury. Acquired from the Rangers over the offseason in the MacKenzie Gore trade, Fien was 2-for-17 at the dish in his first four contests for Fredericksburg before getting hurt.

Meyer (shoulder) is expected to resume throwing off a mound next week, FishOnFirst.com reports.

Meyer is closing in on completing his first bullpen session since being shut down due to a right shoulder strain coming out of spring training. According to the report, the Marlins are eyeing early-to-mid June for Meyer's 2026 debut if all goes well in his throwing program. The Marlins could initially have Meyer pitch in rehab games in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and/or the Florida State League, but he's eventually expected to be part of the rotation at High-A Beloit.

Patrick collected his first hold while striking out a batter over a scoreless inning of relief Tuesday in the Brewers' 6-4 win over the Padres.

The Brewers haven't indicated that Patrick has lost his spot in the rotation, but the right-hander has now worked out of the bullpen for his last two appearances. Patrick had previously pitched in relief Saturday, when starter Kyle Harrison was lifted after four innings before the former followed him with five strikeouts over three scoreless frames in an eventual extra-inning win over the Yankees. Milwaukee may have just taken advantage of Monday's off day to temporarily shorten its rotation to four men, so Patrick would still appear likely to make a start over the weekend in Minnesota. However, Patrick's recent usage suggests that he could be the odd man out of the rotation on a more permanent basis once Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) returns from the injured list.

Stewart went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Nationals.

The rookie first baseman extended a modest hitting streak to five games with the performance, although Tuesday's effort was his first multi-hit performance since April 25. Stewart's blistering start to the season has faded as big-league pitchers have gotten a book on him, but the 22-year-old may be making the necessary adjustments. Through 42 contests, he's still slashing .256/.335/.494 with 10 homers, eight steals, 25 runs and 30 RBI.
