Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to Washington.

Hernandez concluded the scoring in the contest with a solo shot to left field in the eighth inning. The utility man has taken on a prominent role in the Dodgers' lineup of late, as he's been starting at first base while Freddie Freeman has been on the injured list due to an ankle injury. Hernandez is batting a meager .111 on the season, but all four of his hits have left the park, and that has allowed him to rack up a healthy seven RBI over 39 plate appearances.

Schmitt went 2-for-3 with a double during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Reds and could be in the mix for more playing time moving forward, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The 26-year-old drew the start at first base before being moved to second in the eighth inning, following LaMonte Wade's entry into the game. Schmitt accounted for two of San Francisco's four hits in the low-scoring affair, including his first double of the season, which he lined into left field during the second frame. The utility infielder has the defensive ability to compete for more playing time, and he is now slashing .222/.300/.333 with a double across 10 plate appearances.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-5 win over Miami.

Alonso registered his first RBI of the game in the third inning, and he proceeded to drive in three more runs on a bases-clearing double in the sixth frame to give the Mets a four-run lead. Alonso has logged two hits in each of his last three games and has recorded at least four RBI in three games this season. Alonso has gone 12-for-30 with four walks, five doubles, three home runs and 15 RBI over his last eight outings.

Busch is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Southpaw Patrick Corbin will take the mound Tuesday for Texas, so Busch will head to the bench after going 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's series opener. Justin Turner will start at first base and bat cleanup in his place.

Wade went 0-for-4 during Monday's 2-0 loss to the Reds.

Wade struck out twice Monday and is currently tied for the team-worst mark in strikeouts (13) over the club's first 10 outings. The 31-year-old started the season 0-for-16 in his first five appearances, though he had a two-game stretch in which he went 4-for-7 with a home run and two additional runs. However, Wade's struggles have continued in the Giants' last three games, as he's gone 0-for-11 while striking out six times. He's slashing .118/.162/.324 with four extra-base hits in 38 plate appearances this season.

Double-A Richmond placed Eldridge (wrist) on the 7-day injured list.

He tweaked his left wrist on a swing early in spring training and has been brought along slowly since. Eldridge has been playing in games in extended spring training and should soon join Richmond, where he hit .270 with one home run in nine games last year.

Busch went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-0 win over the Rangers.

After recording no extra-base hits over his first six games of the season, Busch now has four extra-base hits across his last six contests. The 27-year-old often sits against southpaws, but he's an effective hitter against righties, and Busch now has a strong .831 OPS for the year. He posted a .775 mark in 2024, which was his first season with the Cubs, along with 21 home runs and 65 RBI.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that Contreras is not a candidate to move back to catcher in the wake of the Ivan Herrera (knee) injury, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Contreras will be available as an emergency third catcher, but he is set to remain the team's primary first baseman. Pedro Pages will receive the bulk of the reps at catcher for St. Louis while Herrera is out, and Yohel Pozo has been called up to serve as Pages' understudy.

Turner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Turner will return to the bench after he picked up his third start of the season in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Padres and went 0-for-4 with an RBI. All three of those starts have come against left-handed pitching, and Turner will likely remain limited to a short-side platoon role while the Cubs have all of their lineup regulars available.

Harper went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.

In a disastrous third inning for Tyler Glasnow, who allowed four walks and threw three wild pitches in the frame, Harper singled to drive in Rafael Marchan to get the Phillies onto the scoreboard. Harper also scored a game-tying run following a double in the seventh inning. It's been a relatively quiet start to the season for the perennial All-Star, who has just three extra-base hits, three RBI and zero stolen bases over 36 at-bats, but Harper is still hitting a healthy .278 with four walks across his first nine outings.
