  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Drives in pair

    Gonzales went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Reds.

    Gonzales has been in the lineup for all six games early in the season, though he was moved up the order to hit second Tuesday. Both of his knocks came late in the game, highlighted by a two-RBI single in the ninth inning. Gonzales has been solid to start the campaign, collecting at least one hit in five of six contests while driving in five and scoring four runs.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Delivers grand slam in win

    India went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 13-9 win over the Twins.

    India went 1-for-10 over his first three games of the season. He delivered the biggest hit in this contest with a sixth-inning slam to put the Royals ahead 12-1, runs that ended up being valuable after the Twins made a late surge. India had just nine homers over 136 regular-season games in 2025, and his .669 OPS last year was a career low. He's still hitting just .200 (3-for-15) with four strikeouts over four contests this season, but India is seeing a starting role at second base over utility man Nick Loftin while Michael Massey (calf) is on the mend.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Records steal in win

    Schneemann went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Schneemann has gone just 4-for-18 (.222) over six games this season, but three of his hits have been doubles. He made an impact with his legs after getting aboard, stealing third base and scoring after Will Smith's throw to third was errant. The steal was Schneemann's first of the year -- he had nine over 422 plate appearances in the 2025 regular season. Schneemann has made three starts in center field and one each at second and third so far, so he is likely to play regularly in a utility role. His playing time will probably come in the outfield while the Guardians deal with the absence of Chase DeLauter (foot).

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Giants' Luis Arraez: Three hits, steal in loss

    Arraez went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Padres.

    Arraez isn't a big contributor in the counting stats, but he's already logged two steals over six games this season. He had a career-best 11 thefts in 154 regular-season contests with the Padres last year. Speed isn't typically something that increases with age, so don't expect the 28-year-old to make a huge impact in that area. He's now batting .304 (7-for-23) with a walk, one RBI and one run scored, and his double Wednesday was his first extra-base hit of the year.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Paces offense from leadoff spot

    Hoerner went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

    With Chicago facing lefty starter Yusei Kikuchi, Michael Busch slid down to fifth in the order, with Hoerner grabbing the leadoff spot. He responded with his first three-hit effort of the season and added his fourth stolen base of the year as well. Hoerner is now riding a five-game hitting streak, and his ability to consistently get on base and run frequently when he does makes him a solid fantasy contributor.

  • Brett Wisely 2B | ATL

    Braves' Brett Wisely: Clears waivers

    Atlanta outrighted Wisely to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

    Wisely no longer possesses a spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster, but he'll stick around in the organization as utility depth after clearing waivers. He appeared in 26 games in the majors last season between stops with San Francisco and Atlanta, slashing .185/.279/.315 with one home run and one stolen base across 63 plate appearances.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Luis Rengifo: Back on bench Wednesday

    Rengifo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Rengifo had been included in the lineup in each of the Brewers' last three games, though two of those starts came against left-handed pitching. At least for the early part of the season, the left-handed-hitting David Hamilton looks poised to see most of the starts at third base against right-handed pitching, so Rengifo will have to settle for more of a utility role.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Rockies' Edouard Julien: Sits for third time in four games

    Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Julien started at designated hitter in the Rockies' first two games of the season, but he's now been left out of the lineup three times in the last four contests, with each of those absences coming against right-handed pitchers. Rather than leaning on Julien as the regular DH, Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer seems content to rotate a number of players at that spot.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Hitting bench vs. lefty

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    The Nationals will hold out the left-handed-hitting Garcia for the third time in three matchups versus a southpaw starter through the club's first six games of the season. Curtis Mead will pick up his first start with Washington, filling in for Garcia at first base while the Nationals face off against Cristopher Sanchez.

  • White Sox's Luisangel Acuna: Another start at shortstop

    Acuna will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's contest versus the Marlins.

    It's the third start at shortstop already this season for Acuna, who has also made two starts in center field. Colson Montgomery is at third base for the White Sox on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Acuna is currently eligible only at second base on most fantasy platforms, but he's on track to pick up eligibility at shortstop and outfield soon. Acuna is 2-for-12 with a 1:1 BB:K and two stolen bases in his first four games this season.
