  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Drives in two

    Bohm went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 9-3 victory over Colorado.

    Bohm gave the Phillies a 4-3 lead with a run-scoring ground out in the fourth and extended the advantage to 5-3 in the seventh with an RBI double. Through 23 games, the 26-year-old has seven extra-base hits, 18 RBI and 10 runs scored.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Held out Sunday

    Walker (forearm) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    The 32-year-old is dealing with a forearm issue after being hit by a pitch during Saturday's contest, though he appears to have avoided a serious injury as X-rays came back negative. Walker will receive a day to rest up after starting the previous 10 games. Pavin Smith will take over at first base and bat fifth in the series finale versus the Friars.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Dons ice wrap following HBP

    Walker was hit by a pitch on the left forearm Saturday and was wearing an ice wrap following the game, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

    Walker, who remained in the game after getting plunked in the eighth inning, told reporters that X-rays on the arm came back negative. He's played the last 10 games, and the Diamondbacks could use the HBP to give him a day off Sunday in the series finale with the Padres.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Homers, steals base in loss

    Walker went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Padres.

    Walkers accounted for all of Arizona's runs in the contest, singling to drive in Ketel Marte in the first inning and launching a two-run homer to left field in the third. The first baseman was batting .163 on April 14, but he's driven his average up to .241 by going 11-for-30 in eight games since. Walker's homer Saturday was his third of the campaign and his first since going deep April 10 against Milwaukee.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | ATL

    Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Goes deep again

    Tellez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Red Sox.

    For the second game in a row, Tellez found the seats this time with a third-inning shot off Garrett Whitlock. Tellez has just 16 hits this season, but seven of those are long balls. The first baseman is slashing .242/.333/.576 this season.

  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Hits solo home run in win

    Flores went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

    Flores' third home run of the season extended the Giants' lead to 7-2 in the fifth inning. He's currently batting .295 and has seven RBI across 17 games (65 plate appearances).

  • Garrett Cooper 1B | ATL

    Marlins' Garrett Cooper: Gets afternoon off

    Cooper will sit for the afternoon portion of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Cooper started 17 of the Marlins' first 19 games this season (11 at first base and six as the designated hitter), so it doesn't appear as though the arrival of Yuli Gurriel is cutting into his playing time. Gurriel will start at first base in the afternoon game, but Cooper will likely return to the lineup for the nightcap.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | BAL

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Clobbers homer in blowout win

    Alonso went 2-for-5 with one home run and four RBI in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

    Alonso currently leads the majors with 10 home runs, while also sporting an impressive slash line of .293/.376/.671. The star first baseman has also homered in two straight games. He is one of the top players in fantasy, barring any unforeseen injuries or slumps.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ATL

    Pirates' Carlos Santana: Piling up RBI

    Santana went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI Friday against the Reds.

    Santana doubled in an insurance run in the seventh inning with his only hit of the game. After a slow start to the season, he has at least one hit in 11 of his last 15 games. In that same span, he's homered twice, driven in 12 and scored eight runs all while hitting .304. Santana is locked into a near-everyday role as the Pirates' cleanup hitter.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | ATL

    Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Smacks sixth home run

    Tellez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Red Sox.

    Tellez tied the game in the fourth inning with his solo shot, and the first baseman leads the Brewers with six homers this season. He's off to a good start after hitting a career-high 35 home runs last season, and Tellez has his batting average up to .242 (15-for-62) after posting a career-low .219 mark last season.
