Nolan Gorman 2B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Goes deep again Monday
Gorman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss against the Mets.
Gorman stayed locked in at the plate, delivering another display of power by homering for the second time in as many days and recording an RBI in his fourth consecutive game. His 419-foot solo shot off Clay Holmes was pulled to right field and briefly cut into the deficit. The 25-year-old has failed to reach 20 home runs in each of the past two seasons after recording 27 in 2023, but his hot start suggests he could be trending back toward that mark this season.

Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL
Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Drives in three runs in win
Dubon went 3-for-4 with three RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over the Athletics.
Dubon drove in a pair with a single in the first inning and added a third RBI on another single in the eighth to stretch Atlanta's lead to 4-0. With Ha-Seong Kim (finger) on the injured list, Dubon has started three of the first four games of the season at shortstop and is 4-for-10 at the plate with a team-leading five RBI.

Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC
Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Keeps running wild Monday
Hoerner went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 7-2 win over the Angels. He also stole a base.
The runs and RBI are certainly icing on the cake, but Hoerner is once again making his biggest impact from a fantasy perspective on the bases. The speedy infielder has stolen a base in three straight games and has yet to get caught this season. Hoerner had 103 steals over the last three years, reaching the 30-steal plateau twice in that span and falling just short with 29 in 2025. It looks like he'll once again push toward that mark in 2026 if he stays healthy.

Ronny Simon 2B | PIT
Pirates' Ronny Simon: Healthy at Triple-A Indianapolis
Simon (shoulder) has reached base six times and stolen a base in his first two games with Triple-A Indianapolis.
Simon was slow-played during spring training after having left shoulder surgery last October, but he avoided the minor-league injured list. Slated to turn 26 in April, Simon is not on the 40-man roster but could get a look at some point if the Pirates are in need of a utility player.

Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Platooning with Sosa
Stott is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
The left-handed-hitting Stott started Saturday's game against lefty spot starter Jacob Latz, but he's now been on the bench two days in a row as the Phillies face a third straight lefty. Edmundo Sosa is handling second base again Monday and looks to be the short-side platoon partner with Stott.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swipes first bag of year
Edwards went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Rockies.
It was the first steal of 2026 for the switch-hitting second baseman. Edwards is hitting lower in the order against left-handed pitching to begin the year, which could cost him occasional opportunities to take an extra base, but he's generated plenty on his own by going 4-for-11 through three games with three runs scored and a 0:1 BB:K.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Homers in win
Lowe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Mets.
Lowe reached base four times, highlighted by a solo shot that put the Pirates up 2-1 in the third inning. The 31-year-old has now homered three times in as many games to open the campaign, reaching base in seven of his 14 plate appearances. He should see near-everyday run in the heart of the order and has topped the 20-homer mark in each of the four seasons in which he's played over 100 games.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Participates in BP on Saturday
Edman (ankle) took on-field batting practice Saturday and is progressing well, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Edman is currently on the 10-day IL as he works his way back from the right ankle surgery he underwent in mid-November. Manager Dave Roberts had previously said the infielder/outfielder is likely to return in late May, though he indicated Saturday that there is a possibility Edman will be back sooner. When he does get back in action, Edman is slated to spend most of his time at second base, where he could start frequently.

Luis Arraez 2B | SF
Giants' Luis Arraez: Multi-hit effort in defeat
Arraez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Yankees.
Arraez hit third Saturday after being deployed in the leadoff spot during San Francisco's first two games. The 28-year-old infielder singled in the first inning, advanced to second and then stole third. He also singled in the eighth for his first multi-hit effort of the season. Through three games, Arraez is 3-for-11 with a walk, a strikeout and a stolen base.
