  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Returns to Texas lineup

    Burger (illness) will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's contest versus the Angels.

    Burger missed Tuesday's tilt due to illness but feels well enough to give it a go in this one. The first baseman's tenure with the Rangers hasn't gotten off to an ideal start, as he'll carry a .484 OPS into play Wednesday.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Grabbing seat versus lefty

    Aranda is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Red Sox.

    It's southpaw Sean Newcomb on the bump for the Red Sox, so the lefty-hitting Aranda will yield to the right-handed-batting Curtis Mead at first base. Aranda has been absent from the lineup all four times the Rays have faced a lefty this season.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Homers as part of three-hit night

    Hoskins went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

    Hoskins got the scoring started with a solo blast in the second that traveled 440 feet. That was his first home run and first three-hit game of the year. He raised his batting average 47 points and is now slashing .229/.345/.313 with six RBI, three runs and an 8:14 BB:K in 58 plate appearances.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Leaves yard Tuesday

    Olson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

    Olson's home run came in the sixth inning on a 412-foot blast to center field off Kevin Gausman. It was his first extra-base hit since he last homered April 4. Olson's surface numbers have been a bit unlucky, as he's been making good contact, but it hasn't led to many hits yet. He's been seeing the ball well, as evidenced by his 13:13 BB:K thus far. For the year, Olson's slashing .200/.342/.350 with two homers, nine RBI and five runs scored.

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Slugs second homer Tuesday

    Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Tuesday against the Athletics.

    Vaughn deposited a Jeffrey Springs changeup into deep left field, tying the game up at 3-3 in the first inning. The White Sox are relying on Vaughn to be one of their big bats in 2025, but the former top prospect is off to a brutal start at the dish. Over his first 57 at-bats, Vaughn is slashing just .123/.180/.263 with two homers, two doubles, eight RBI and three runs scored.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Adds six RBI to explosive start

    Soderstrom went 3-for-5 with a pair of three-run home runs Tuesday against the White Sox.

    Soderstrom continued his upstart beginning to the season, cranking his seventh big fly of the year to bring three runs in during the first inning. He wasn't done there, however, launching his eighth long ball to drive in three more runs and push the Athletics in front 9-3 in the sixth inning. The 2020 first-rounder leads the major leagues in homers to this point, slashing an exceptional .328/.403/.734 with two doubles, 17 RBI and 15 runs scored through 72 plate appearances.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | NYM

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Sizzling start continues vs. Twins

    Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Twins.

    Alonso took Twins right-hander Bailey Ober yard to give the Mets a 1-0 lead in the first inning. The star first baseman has thrived in the early going while batting behind Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. Through his first 73 plate appearances of the campaign, Alonso is slashing a robust .356/.466/.729 with five homers, seven doubles, 20 RBI and 11 runs scored.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Cracks third homer

    Aranda went 2-for-3 with one walk and a solo homer in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Red Sox.

    Aranda got the Rays in the scoring column in the second inning, when he took the first pitch he saw from Walker Buehler deep to right-center field for a 398-foot solo homer. Aranda has the hot bat as of late, going 14-for-30 with four walks, eight runs scored, three home runs and 10 RBI over his last nine games.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Drives in two runs Tuesday

    Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.

    Schmitt got the Giants on the board with a two-run single in the fourth inning that brought Matt Chapman and Wilmer Flores home. Schmitt has been deployed against southpaws this season, and over his last five games he's gone 4-for-13 with two doubles, one run scored and two RBI.

  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Cracks two-run shot

    Harper went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Giants.

    Harper extended the Phillies' lead to three runs when he took Hayden Birdsong deep to right field for a 354-foot, two-run homer in the seventh inning. Harper has reached base safely in 11 straight games, and over that span he has gone 10-for-39 with 10 walks, five runs scored, one home run and four RBI.
