Raley went 3-for-5 with one double, one home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the White Sox.

This was Raley's best game at the plate since April 3 against Washington, when he smacked two homers. That was the outfielder's only other multi-hit game of the year. The 28-year-old will look to keep improving on his .214/.286/.536 slash line, but he does have five home runs and 12 RBI in 19 games.

Diaz went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the White Sox.

Diaz went deep with a 380-foot shot to right field in the seventh inning. The first baseman is well on his way to crushing his career high of 14 homers in a season, which he hit in 2019. The 31-year-old needed 307 at-bats to reach that mark that year, while he's already reached half that total in just 92 plate appearances so far this season.

Smith is out of the lineup Thursday night against the Mets, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Stone Garrett will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth versus the Mets and left-hander Joey Lucchesi. Smith got off to a decent start this year with the Nationals, but his overall batting line has sunk to .232/.323/.244 through 93 total plate appearances.

Guerrero went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

Guerrero extended Toronto's lead to 3-0 with a two-run, two-out double in the third inning. The 24-year-old first baseman has hit safely in six straight games, going 8-for-25 with two homers and four doubles in that span. Guerrero is off to another fast start this season, slashing .333/.407/.535 with five home runs, 15 RBI and 18 runs scored through 113 plate appearances.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Pirates.

The Dodgers only managed four hits in total off Roansy Contreras and the Pittsburgh bullpen, and Freeman's eighth-inning blast was all that stood between the Bucs and a shutout. It's the fourth homer of the year for the first baseman, and Freeman sports a .289/.375/.464 slash line with nine RBI and 20 runs through 25 games -- somewhat disappointing numbers by his own lofty standards.

Goldschmidt went 4-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in a loss to the Giants on Wednesday.

Goldschmidt carried St. Louis' struggling offense Wednesday, producing half of the team's hits and plating two of its three runs on a pair of solo homers. It was the first four-hit game and first multi-homer effort of the season for the star first baseman, who is slashing .315/.417/.533 through 108 plate appearances. Goldschmidt has added four homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs, two steals and a 15:17 BB:K.

Wade went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a walk and two total RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 victory versus St. Louis.

Wade was originally out of the lineup Wednesday, but he was added as the Giants' starting right fielder when Mike Yastrzemski was scratched due to a left side injury. Wade took advantage of the opportunity, hitting a solo homer to center in the fourth inning and producing a run-scoring triple in the eighth. He's hitting just .237 this season, but six of his 14 hits have gone for extra bases.

Flores went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win against the Cardinals.

Flores went deep in the seventh inning, swatting a two-run shot to give the Giants a 6-2 lead. The veteran infielder is up to four homers on the season, putting him on pace to reach 20 homers in a campaign for the first time in his career. Flores has complemented the moderate power with a .278/.316/.486 slash line and nine RBI across 76 plate appearances.

Olson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

Olson had a rollercoaster evening Wednesday, striking out three times in the win but hitting a solo homer to open the top of the eighth to bring Atlanta to within one. He sparked the offense, as the team rallied around his long ball to put up four total runs in the inning and claim the lead. Olson has hit seven home runs this season with 21 RBI and 19 runs scored over 25 games. Wednesday's homer was the slugger's first since April 18.

Wade will start in right field Wednesday against St. Louis and bat sixth, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

With Mike Yastrzemski scratched from the lineup due to a tight left side, Wade will face the left-handed Steven Matz on Wednesday. Wade holds just a .355 OPS against southpaws across 88 plate appearances since 2021.
