Greene went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-9 win over the Royals.

Greene was batting just .211 through the first 10 games of the season, but he's starting to get going with a .313 average across his last nine contests. The three-hit effort was also the first of the year for the talented outfielder. Greene was an All-Star starter during a breakout 2025 campaign in which he posted 36 home runs and 111 RBI during the regular season, and he appears to have gotten back on that track this year after a slow start.

Dingler went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run in Thursday's 10-9 win over the Royals.

Dingler connected on his fourth home run of the season in the fifth inning as he continued his strong start to the year. The Detroit catcher is slashing .283/.367/.566 with 14 RBI through 16 games. Dingler's .933 OPS would easily be a new career best and is nearly 200 points higher than the .752 OPS he posted in the regular season last year. The 27-year-old is building on his strong 2025 campaign and has established himself as a reliable fantasy option behind the plate.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run during Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Nationals.

Ozuna has been mired in a big slump to start the season, but he seems to be shaking that off and heating up as of late. The 35-year-old crushed his first home run of the season Thursday, a three-run homer in the fifth that allowed the Pirates to match a four-run inning by the Nationals with one of their own. After having just two hits in the first 10 games, the 14-year veteran has five hits as part of a four-game hit streak.

Burns settled for a no-decision Thursday against the Giants, allowing no runs on two hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings.

After a tough start last time out -- in which Burns surrendered five runs to the Angels -- the young hurler recaptured the dominant form he showcased in his first two starts of the year. Aside from the 5.1 frames pitched against the Angels, the 23-year-old has otherwise allowed just one run and struck out 20 batters in 17 innings. All told, he still has a strong 2.42 ERA and 1.07 WHIP on the season. His next scheduled outing pits him against the Rays, which rank fourth in MLB with a .266 team batting average.

Miller picked up the save Thursday against the Reds, tossing a scoreless ninth inning with a walk and three strikeouts.

Miller has a blown save on his ledger already this season, but he took advantage of his second chance to lock down a game Thursday. The 28-year-old issued a one-out walk to Matt McLain, but he struck out the other three batters he faced to earn the save. With 10 strikeouts in six innings, the 28-year-old has the stuff to be an effective late-inning option but needs to find the consistency. Even after Thursday's outing, he holds a 6.00 ERA and 1.83 WHIP this year. Miller is in the mix for saves as Ryan Walker has been utilized as a bit of a late-inning fireman rather than a traditional closer early this year.

Lee went 3-for-4 with a RBI and a run scored during Thursday's 3-0 win over the Reds.

Lee notched his second three-hit game of the season and fourth multi-hit game over the last week. The 27-year-old clinched the latter of those two feats Thursday with an RBI single as part of the three-run seventh inning that accounted for the only offense of the game. Across the last six contests, Lee has gone 10-for-23 (.435 batting average) with three doubles, a home run and three RBI while striking out just twice.

Canha requested his release from the Rangers on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Canha is seeking a big-league opportunity elsewhere after signing a minor-league contract with Texas in February. The 37-year-old has opened the 2026 campaign at the team's extended spring training site in Arizona, and he has yet to appear in a contest. Canha produced a .212 average with one home run, six RBI and nine runs scored over 113 at-bats in 46 regular-season contests with the Royals in 2025.

Roupp (3-1) earned the win Thursday against the Reds, allowing no runs on one hit and two walks while striking out six across six innings.

Roupp is in just his second season as a full-time starter and is off to a strong start through four outings on the year. The 27-year-old has allowed one run or fewer in three of those four outings this season and holds a 2.38 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB in 22.2 innings. He finished last year with a 3.80 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP but has taken a step forward early in 2026, though it remains to be seen if the improved results are sustainable. The right-hander is scheduled to take the mound next against the Dodgers, which rank second in MLB with 105 runs scored.

Castro (hand) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Houston.

Castro had to be removed from Wednesday's contest after being hit on the right hand by a pitch, though X-rays came back negative. It's possible Castro wouldn't have been in the lineup Thursday, anyway, as his playing time has trended downward over the past week. Consider him day-to-day for now. Edouard Julien will cover second base and bat leadoff for the Rockies.

The Padres reinstated Song (oblique) from the injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso.

Song landed on the injured list at the start of the regular season due to a right oblique strain but has been playing rehab games with El Paso since March 27. He's slashed .276/.364/.310 with 10 RBI and seven runs scored across 16 games during his assignment and will officially remain in the minors now that he's fully healthy.
