Alonso went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

The rookie hasn't yet connected on his first big-league homer, but he's done just about everything else, going 6-for-12 with three doubles and three RBI in his first three games with the Mets. Alonso's spot in the two hole gives him tremendous fantasy upside even in re-draft formats, so while there will probably be growing pains ahead, he should be a lineup fixture until big-league pitchers start to figure him out.

Rizzo went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to Texas.

Rizzo belted his first long ball of the 2019 campaign in the sixth inning to put Chicago ahead 8-5, but the Cubs would end up dropping the series finale. The 29-year-old slugger finished the team's opening weekend with three hits, three RBI and four walks in 11 at-bats.

Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 11-10 victory over the Cubs.

Cabrera plated the Rangers' first run in the fourth inning with a sacrifice fly and drove in two more in the seventh on a two-run blast to left field. The 33-year-old third baseman put together a strong opening weekend, collecting five hits including two homers, five RBI and three runs scored over three contests.

O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Sunday against the White Sox.

O'Hearn laced an RBI double to right field in the seventh inning, but the White Sox would take the series finale in what turned out to be a sluggish day at the dish for the Royals' offense. The 25-year-old first baseman finishes opening weekend 2-for-8 with three RBI over two games.

Abreu went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Sunday against Kansas City.

Abreu got the White Sox on the board in the fourth inning by clubbing a solo homer to left center. The 32-year-old first baseman is off to a strong start at the dish in 2019 and is now 4-for-11 with a pair of long balls and four RBI over three games.

Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Oakland.

It was Calhoun's first long ball of 2019 and his second multi-hit game already. He had just two extra-base hits at the end of April last season but now has four before April has even started. Calhoun could be getting back to his 2015-16 form which would be terrific for fantasy owners.

Santana went 4-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

The Twins were unable to get Santana out in the series finale, and he plated all three of his team's runs on the day in the eighth inning on a double to left field. The 32-year-old first baseman is off to a hot start at the dish through three games (5-for-10), although his team will search to get back on track starting Monday against the White Sox after dropping two of the first three contests of 2019.

Flores will start at second base and hit leadoff Sunday against the Dodgers.

Flores has never hit atop the order in his career but will get the chance Sunday. After riding the bench for two consecutive games, Flores will draw the start against right-hander Walker Buehler.

Cooper (calf) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Cooper was experiencing tightness in his calf and was out of Saturday's lineup. He did appear as a pinch hitter later that day, but apparently his recovery was not progressing as hoped. The 28-year-old drew two starts this season prior to the injury, going hitless in seven at-bats.

Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a two-run homer and a second run scored in an 8-6 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

After an 0-for-4 showing in his Rangers debut Thursday, Cabrera flashed his power by taking Yu Darvish deep in the second inning. The 33-year-old has slugged 60 homers over the last three seasons, and with regular at-bats in Globe Life Park ahead, Cabrera should have little trouble being productive once again.
