Edman went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

After collecting a lone RBI over his previous eight outings, Edman took Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga yard to open the scoring in the first inning Tuesday. The speedy switch hitter is off to an outstanding start in 2025, batting .272 with eight big flies, 19 RBI, 16 runs scored and one stolen base over 92 at-bats (24 games). The steals figure to increase at some point for Edman, who swiped six bags in just 37 regular-season appearances a year ago.

Martinez did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's loss to Miami. He allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings while striking out four.

Martinez gave up a run in the first inning but settled in for four scoreless frames before Agustin Ramirez ended his night with an RBI double in the sixth. Martinez was removed just before producing a quality start despite throwing only 79 pitches (46 strikes). He produced a season-high 14 whiffs but has now failed to complete six innings in four straight outings. Martinez owns a 5.40 ERA with a 23:9 K:BB through 26.2 innings. He's lined up for a home matchup against the Cardinals next week.

Amaya went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-10, 10-inning win over the Dodgers.

Amaya delivered an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning but saved his best for last Tuesday night. The catcher's ninth-inning home run with two outs tied the game at 10 before the Cubs prevailed in extras. Amaya has been a solid producer with a .278 average, .798 OPS and two long balls across 15 games as he continues to split playing time with Carson Kelly.

Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two total runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 11-10, 10-inning win over the Dodgers.

Crow-Armstrong laced an RBI double in the first inning, then mashed his fourth home run of the year in the fifth with a runner on. The 23-year-old outfielder also has eight stolen bases in nine attempts, and his combination of power and speed makes him an intriguing fantasy option with plenty of upside in just his second full MLB season.

Faucher struck out one batter in a perfect inning and picked up a save against the Reds on Tuesday.

Faucher tossed seven of 10 pitches for strikes and had no issue retiring Cincinnati's 8-9-1 hitters in the 4-3 victory. It was his second save of the season and first since April 12. Faucher owns a 4.32 ERA across 8.1 innings. Anthony Bender pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Jesus Tinoco did not pitch after earning saves Sunday and Monday as the closer situation in Miami remains in a committee.

Imanaga didn't factor into the decision against the Dodgers on Tuesday after allowing five runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

The star left-hander was working against a vaunted Dodgers lineup and also the wind blowing out toward center field, but he fared well for the most part in spite of the difficult circumstances. Tommy Edman's first-inning three-run jack carried a bit into deep center field, but Gage Workman's fielding error earlier in the frame meant all three runs were unearned. Imanaga tied a career high with three homers allowed Tuesday, but he'll carry a strong 2.38 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB across 34 innings into a much softer matchup against the Pirates in his next scheduled start. As a team, Pittsburgh entered Tuesday ranked 28th in MLB in slugging percentage (.320).

Tucker went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two total runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-10, 10-inning win over the Dodgers. He also stole two bases.

Tucker had a monster performance for the Cubs, recording his first game this season with both a home run and a stolen base. For the year, the talented outfielder has seven long balls, six steals and a robust 1.070 OPS across 25 games, making him an early NL MVP contender with his new team.

May didn't factor into the decision against the Cubs on Tuesday after allowing seven runs on 10 hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out five.

On top of facing a Cubs offense that entered the day leading the majors in runs scored, May also had to deal with the wind blowing out a bit to center field. After giving up one run or less on three hits or fewer in each of his first three starts this season, May allowed a career-worst seven runs and 10 hits Tuesday. Better days are ahead for the 27-year-old right-hander, who'll take a solid 3.68 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB over 22 innings into a much more favorable situation at home against Miami in his next scheduled start.

Cabrera did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over the Reds. He allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over five-plus innings while striking out seven.

Cabrera coughed up a solo homer to Noelvi Marte in the third inning and an RBI double to TJ Friedl in the fifth. The Reds plated another run in the sixth after Cabrera allowed a hit and a walk before being removed. He has not completed six innings in any of his three outings this season, resulting in a 6.14 ERA with an 18:8 K:BB through 14.2 frames. Cabrera is in line for a tough road matchup against the Dodgers next week.

Ramirez went 3-for-3 with two doubles, one RBI and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

Ramirez once again sparked Miami's offense, this time with a pair of doubles. He was also caught stealing and has attempted a stolen base in each of his first two MLB appearances. The rookie catcher could provide valuable speed at his position; Ramirez stole 53 bases in 63 attempts over his minor-league career, including 22 in 24 attempts last season. He is 5-for-6 with three doubles in his first two big-league games.
