Albies went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

His eighth-inning shot off Nabil Crismatt, Albies' fourth long ball this season, gave Atlanta a 5-0 lead. After a bit of a slow start at the plate, the second baseman is batting .282 (11-for-39) over his last 10 games with six runs and 10 RBI, though Albies is still looking for his first steal of 2023.

Trejo went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Trejo was in the lineup for only the seventh time this season and at second base for only the second time. However, he could be in line for more consistent playing time moving forward, as Ryan McMahon shifted to third base Tuesday, in turn pushing Elehuris Montero to the bench. Montero has struggled defensively early this season -- he made two costly errors Monday -- and is a candidate to lose more playing time or even be sent down to the minors, per Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. While Trejo has the potential to be steadier than Montero, he has maintained just a 73 wRC+ and .296 wOBA across 198 career plate appearances.

Estrada went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Marlins.

Estrada has gone 8-for-23 (.348) with four extra-base hits, two RBI and six runs scored over his last five games. His steal Tuesday was his first since April 3. The second baseman continues to see steady playing time, and he's made the most of it by forging a strong .333/.385/.550 slash line with three steals, three home runs, six RBI and 11 runs scored through 15 contests.

Donovan is considered day-to-day with a left shin abrasion, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

This minor issue is what prompted the Cardinals to scratch Donovan from their starting lineup Tuesday night against the Diamondbacks. Nolan Gorman will cover second base and Taylor Motter is in at third.

Donovan was scratched from the Cardinals' lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

There's no reason yet for the sudden change. Nolan Gorman is now starting at second base and batting fifth, with Taylor Motter entering the lineup at third base and hitting eighth.

Wisely was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wisely made the Opening Day roster out of Giants camp this spring before getting sent down after just one game. He'll get another look coming off a huge weekend showing for Sacramento, including a four-double game Sunday.

Urias (hamstring) was transferred Tuesday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Urias suffered a severe left hamstring strain in the Brewers' season opener March 30 against the Cubs. The initial timeline called for him to miss at least eight weeks, so this is mostly just a procedural move to clear out a 40-man roster spot.

Bae went 1-for-4 with two RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's 14-3 win over the Rockies.

The Pirates scored six runs in the second inning of a blowout win, and Bae contributed to the rally with a bunt single that drove in one. He then proceeded to steal third base to tally his fifth stolen bag of the season. Though Pittsburgh shifts its lineup considerably when a lefty is on the mound, Bae has been a consistence presence in the batting order regardless of handedness and has an everyday role on the team. Through 55 plate appearances, he has chipped in 10 runs scored and eight RBI despite hitting just .220/.278/.380.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 6-3 win over the Cardinals.

Marte delivered Josh Rojas, who had doubled to lead off the game, then gave the Diamondbacks a 2-1 lead in the seventh with his second homer of the season. His bat came around during the second full week of baseball, as Marte has batted .296 (8-for-29) with four extra-base hits over the last seven games.

Turang went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-2 win against Seattle.

Turang began the game on the bench with lefty Chris Flexen on the mound for Seattle, but the rookie got a chance to hit for Owen Miller in the seventh inning. Turang came through with a solo homer for his second career long ball. He's holding his own in the majors thus far as the Brewers' primary second baseman, slashing .283/.340/.435 with seven runs, six RBI and three steals over 16 games.
