  • Dodgers' Hunter Feduccia: Headed back to minors

    Feduccia was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Feduccia was recalled to take the roster spot of Freddie Freeman (ankle), but he's logged only three plate appearances since March 4. Feduccia will be optioned to create space for Freeman to return Friday.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Remains without a homer in 2025

    Toglia went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and a run scored in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.

    Thursday marked just the second multi-hit effort of the year by Toglia, who plated a go-ahead run with a double into deep left-center field in the eighth inning. The switch-hitter has started each of Colorado's first 12 games at first base, but it's been a disappointing start to the season overall by Toglia, who smashed 25 home runs in just 116 outings in 2024. He's batting just .191 with zero home runs, a lone RBI and two walks over 50 plate appearances in 2025.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: First day off Thursday

    Guerrero is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt in Boston.

    It's the first day off this season for Guerrero, who is slashing .288/.367/.346 with no home runs in his first 13 contests. Will Wagner will cover first base and bat fifth for the Blue Jays in Thursday's series finale.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Getting breather for day game

    Hoskins is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

    Hoskins will receive a breather during the day game after he started at first base and played all nine innings of the Brewers' 17-2 win Wednesday night while going 0-for-4 with an RBI. Jake Bauers will spell Hoskins at first base Thursday.

  • Cardinals' Willson Contreras: Could be moved down in lineup

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol is weighing the possibility of moving the slumping Contreras down in the batting order, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Contreras has gotten off to a dreadful start this season, going 5-for-49 with 22 strikeouts, and he's done so while mostly batting second for St. Louis. The 32-year-old is a good bet to eventually get going offensively, but it's possible he'll be moved to a lower profile spot in the batting order while he's scuffling. If Marmol wants to continue alternating his lefty and righty hitters, Jordan Walker and Masyn Winn would appear to be the most likely candidates to be elevated to the No. 2 spot, if Contreras is indeed dropped lower in the lineup.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Taking BP

    Horwitz (wrist) has progressed to taking batting practice, throwing and fielding ground balls, MLB.com reports.

    Horwitz has been swinging since early March, though his progression to batting practice is significant. He's still a few weeks away from a rehab assignment, which is projected to begin in late April or early May.

  • Ty France 1B | TOR

    Twins' Ty France: Clubs first long ball

    France went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI against the Royals in a 4-0 win Wednesday.

    France was the only Minnesota batter with more than one hit in the victory, and he drove in half of the team's runs on an RBI single in the sixth inning and a solo shot to left field in the ninth. It was the veteran first baseman's third multi-hit performance of the campaign, though he came into Wednesday in a 3-for-17 rut at the plate over his past five contests. France has settled in as the Twins' primary first baseman and has posted a .256/.304/.395 slash line through his first 46 plate appearances of the campaign.

  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Belts second homer

    Harper went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks Wednesday in a 4-3 win against Atlanta.

    Harper came up big for the Phillies in the seventh inning, crushing a two-run homer to center field to give the team a one-run lead. The star first baseman reached base three total times in the contest, and he's been able to get on base safely in all but one of his 11 games so far this season. Harper's long ball Wednesday was just his second this season, but he's been relatively productive with a .279/.380/.465 slash line, five RBI and seven runs.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Hits three singles Wednesday

    Guerrero went 3-for-5 with one run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-innings win over the Red Sox.

    Guerrero reached base three times and scored one of the Blue Jays' two runs on the same day his 14-year, $500 million contract extension became official. It was his fifth multi-hit game of the season, four of which have come over his last six outings. Guerrero has yet to hit a home run and has started the 2025 campaign slashing .288/.367/.346 with six walks, five runs, three doubles and four RBI across 60 plate appearances.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | CHC

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Belts second homer of 2025

    Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.

    Santana took Sean Burke deep to center field for a 410-foot solo home run, which turned out to be the deciding run in Wednesday's game. Santana is off to a good start in 2025, and over his last eight outings he's gone 10-for-30 with three walks, four runs, two home runs and three RBI.
