Naylor (lower leg) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Naylor missed most of the 2021 season due to a significant leg injury and finished his recovery process during the first few weeks of the regular season in 2022. He made six rehab appearances at Triple-A Columbus and went 4-for-20 with two doubles, five RBI, four runs and five walks. Naylor should serve on the strong side of a platoon in right field now that he's healthy.

Voit went 2-for-5 with a double, a run and three RBI in Thursday's 12-1 win over the Braves.

Voit netted two runs with a second-inning double and drove in another with a single in the sixth. The double was his first extra-base hit as a Padre, and he finished with his first multi-hit game of the season. Voit is slashing .231/.429/.269 through 35 plate appearances on the campaign.

Cooper went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Thursday against the Phillies.

Cooper took Kyle Gibson yard in the fourth inning to knot the game 1-1. It was Cooper's first extra-base hit of the season, and he entered Thursday's game having collected only four knocks across his first 19 plate appearances. Despite the early struggles, Cooper has been a fixture in the Miami lineup while hitting either second or third in the order.

Guerrero (finger) will start at first base and bat third in Thursday's game against the Yankees.

As anticipated, the stitches Guerrero required for his finger after he was spiked during a play at first base in Wednesday's 6-4 win over New York won't prevent him from sticking in the lineup for the series finale. Even after suffering the injury in question, Guerrero still produced a pair of home runs and a double in his final three at-bats Wednesday to finish with 14 total bases.

Guerrero (finger) will be included in the Blue Jays' lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Those planning on using Guerrero in DFS and/or season-long leagues with daily moves will still want to confirm upon the release of Toronto's lineup that the 23-year-old is starting, but he appears to be good to go after he had a finger spiked while playing first base early in Wednesday's 6-4 win. After sustaining the injury in question, he hit his second and third long balls of the night to give him the second three-home run game of his young career. Guerrero required stitches after the game to seal the wound on his finger, but he doesn't appear to be experiencing any major discomfort while throwing the baseball or swinging the bat.

Santana will start at first base and bat fifth in Thursday's game against the Tigers.

Santana has batted out of the No. 5 spot in each of the Royals' games to date, but hitting directly beyond four-time Silver Slugger winner Salvador Perez has yet to bear fruit for the veteran. Through 19 plate appearances, Santana has produced one hit (a double) and has drawn three walks. On a positive note, Santana has struck out just once, so he hasn't looked completely lost at the plate. Expect his average to climb once his .067 BABIP normalizes.

Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a single, a walk and a strikeout during Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Rizzo clubbed his third homer of the season in the fifth inning off Toronto starter Jose Berrios and continues to mash as the Yankees' de facto leadoff hitter. Through the first week of the season, the veteran lefty is slashing .300/.481/1.281.

France went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI groundout during Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox.

France got the scoring started early by sending an 0-1 cutter from Dallas Keuchel into the left field bleachers. He added an RBI groundout to second base in the fifth inning to cut Chicago's lead to 4-3. Through six appearances, the 27-year-old is slashing .273/.407/.862.

Guerrero received two stitches on his finger after going 4-for-4 with three home runs, a double and four RBI during Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Yankees, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The 23-year-old was bleeding a decent amount after being accidently spiked at first base by a baserunner, but he got patched up and crushed New York pitching the rest of the evening. Guerrero was 0-for-8 through the first two games of the series but came alive Wednesday and put on a one-man show against the Yankees. The injury isn't expected to affect his status going forward, and he already illustrated it shouldn't impact his performance.

Alonso went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, two runs scored and five RBI in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Phillies.

It was an awesome display of power from the 27-year-old, who ripped RBI two-baggers in the fourth and fifth innings before crushing a three-run shot to deep right-center field off Connor Brogdon in the sixth. Alonso is off to a quick start to the season, batting .267 (8-for-30) with three doubles, two homers and 10 RBI through seven games.
