Sam Haggerty LF | TEX
Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Steals base Sunday
Haggerty went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Angels.
Haggerty reached base via a seventh-inning walk and proceeded to steal second for his fifth stolen base of the year. The 27-year-old has already surpassed his total from 2020, although he only played in 13 games a season ago. The steals haven't been enough to cover for his lack of production at the plate, as he's slashing .200/.254/.327 with two home runs, five RBI, 10 runs scored and a 4:18 BB:K.

Isan Diaz 2B | DET
Marlins' Isan Diaz: Blasts first homer of 2021
Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Nationals.
The Marlins struggled offensively against right-hander Max Scherzer on Sunday, but Diaz put the team on the board with a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning. The 24-year-old has appeared in four games since he was called up and has gone 2-for-11 with a home run, three RBI and two runs.

Luis Arraez 2B | PHI
Twins' Luis Arraez: Scores three runs
Arraez went 3-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's win over Kansas City.
Arraez was coming off three straight hitless appearances, but he bounced back admirably here. The 24-year-old has only three multi-hit games over his last 12 contests and is hitting .250 during that span.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Blue Jays' Marcus Semien: Drives in four runs
Semien went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double and four RBI in Sunday's 7-2 win over Atlanta.
Semien gave Toronto a 3-1 lead with his two-run double in the third inning and later broke the game open with his two-run shot in the eighth. The 30-year-old improved his season slash line to .228/.301/.416 with seven extra-base hits and 14 RBI.

Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC
Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Productive in loss
Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Reds. He also stole a base.
Hoerner just kept on rolling, pushing his average up to .389 through 11 games. The stolen base was also his third so far, making the 23-year-old a threat at the plate and on the bases. The level of production should keep Hoerner locked into a regular role at second base, with David Bote working in a utility role off the bench.

Amed Rosario 3B | NYY
Indians' Amed Rosario: Displays speed Sunday
Rosario went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-0 win over the White Sox.
Rosario singled and stole second in the second inning. In the fourth inning, he hit a one-out triple and scored on an error. Rosario got aboard again in the seventh with an RBI single. The 25-year-old has earned a share of the playing time in center field lately, a position he splits with Jordan Luplow. Rosario is slashing .211/.282/.352 with two home runs, five RBI and 10 runs scored. Sunday marked the first time he attempted to steal a base this season.

Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU
Mets' Luis Guillorme: Progressing well in recovery
Guillorme (oblique) could come off the 10-day injured list when he's first eligible, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
Guillorme was placed on the injured list due to a right oblique strain Friday, but he's progressing well early in his recovery process and appears to be in line for a short absence. Guillorme is eligible to be activated as soon as May 11, when the Mets are scheduled to take on the Orioles at home.

Tony Kemp 2B | MIN
Athletics' Tony Kemp: Back to bench
Kemp is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Kemp had started in each of Oakland's last four games, going 3-for-12 with a double, two walks and a stolen base. He had benefited indirectly from Matt Olson (eye) missing three of those games, but Kemp will likely find himself on the bench on a more regular basis with Olson checking back into the lineup for Sunday's series finale.
-
Enrique Hernandez 3B | LAD
Red Sox's Enrique Hernandez: Back in action
Hernandez (undisclosed) will start at second base and bat leadoff Sunday against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
After colliding with the outfield wall in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Texas, Hernandez was held out of the lineup for the last two games while he was less than 100 percent healthy. The time off appears to have allowed Hernandez to recover, as he'll check back into the starting nine for the series finale. Hernandez will continue to serve as Boston's leadoff man, but his .269 on-base percentage on the season likely makes his hold on the table-setting role a tenuous one.

Jorge Polanco DH | NYM
Twins' Jorge Polanco: Bows out of starting nine
Polanco is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Luis Arraez will fill in at second base for Polanco, who is sitting out for only the second time all season. Over 101 plate appearances, Polanco has managed a weak .209/.267/.286 slash line. More days off could be in his future if he's unable to catch fire at the plate sooner or later.
