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

His fourth-inning blast off Luis Cessa tied the game at 4-4. Albies has hit safely in four straight games but hasn't had a multi-hit performance since Opening Day, and the 26-year-old is slashing .229/.255/.354 to begin the season with two homers, three runs and six RBI. After stealing 20 bags in 2021 but only three in 64 games (on eight attempts) last season, Albies has yet to attempt a steal in 2023.

Kim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Kim will get a breather for just the second time through the Padres' first 13 games, paving the way for Rougned Odor to pick up a start at the keystone. In Tuesday's 4-2 win over New York, Kim went 1-for-3 with his first stolen base of the season.

Arraez went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Phillies.

It's the first cycle in Marlins history, with the long ball -- his first of the season -- coming in the seventh inning off Connor Brogdon. Arraez has had a blistering start to his Miami tenure; through 12 games he's batting .537 (22-for-41) with five RBI, six runs and a 6:3 BB:K.

Gorman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Rockies.

Gorman didn't start Tuesday, but he replaced Taylor Motter as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. Two frames later, Gorman put the Cardinals ahead 7-6 with his solo shot. The second baseman has been a bright spot so far, hitting three homers with eight RBI, four runs scored and a pair of doubles over 35 plate appearances. Prior to Tuesday, he'd slumped a bit, going 1-for-10 over his last three contests.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Mariners. He also stole a base.

Hoerner went 3-for-5 with a stolen base Monday and kept on rolling Tuesday. The infielder is now batting a robust .356 and he's stolen five bases in just 10 games. Hoerner seems to be the catalyst of Chicago's offense at the moment, and he should remain locked into fantasy lineups while he's this hot.

Bae went 1-for-5 with a game-winning three-run home run in a 7-4 victory over the Astros on Tuesday.

With a pair of runners on and one out in the bottom of the ninth, Bae blistered a ball over the left-centerfield fence off Ryan Pressly to give the Pirates the win. Even while hitting just .242 with a .265 on-base percentage, Bae has shown some flashes of brilliance over the first 11 games of the season with a pair of homers, two stolen bases and six RBI over 33 at-bats.

Nationals manager Davey Martinez told reporters that Garcia (hamstring) is available off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Angels with a good chance to return to the starting lineup Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia has been out since leaving Friday's game with tightness in his hamstring. Even if the infielder doesn't get into the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, it sounds like he'll be ready to roll for the Nationals by the end of the week and avoid a trip to the injured list.

Garcia (hamstring) is out of the lineup again Tuesday versus the Angels.

Garcia has been sidelined since last Friday due to hamstring tightness. He's still being labeled as day-to-day. Michael Chavis will start at second base and bat eighth for the Nationals on Tuesday night against the Angels and Shohei Ohtani.

Estrada is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

David Villar will play second base and bat sixth versus the rival Dodgers and right-hander Dustin May. J.D. Davis is covering third base and batting third.

Bae is batting leadoff Tuesday against the Astros.

Bae did not start Sunday or Monday, but he'll jump to the top of the Pirates' order Tuesday against Houston right-hander Cristian Javier. The versatile 23-year-old is 7-for-28 (.250) with one home run and two stolen bases through eight games this season.
