Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Records eighth steal
Stott went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Guardians.
Stott went 0-for-8 with a walk and two strikeouts to begin this weekend's interleague series, but he was able to knock a hit in the series finale. The second baseman is now batting .262 with a .721 OPS, three home runs, 20 RBI, 22 runs scored, eight steals, five doubles and two triples over 37 contests. He continues to serve as the Phillies' preferred leadoff hitter versus right-handed pitchers.

Dylan Moore LF | PHI
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Homers for lone run in loss
Moore went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Moore is 4-for-15 with a homer, two stolen bases and three RBI over four games since he returned from a hip strain. The utility player has been one of the Mariners' strongest hitters so far this season, racking up seven homers, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored, seven steals and a .282/.330/.553 slash line through 27 contests. He's already over halfway to matching his career high in homers, which was in 2021 when he slugged 12 long balls in 126 games.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Heading to bench Sunday
Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Marte started the first three games of the series versus Los Angeles and went 4-for-10 with a double and three home runs, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's finale. Tim Tawa will start at the keystone and bat eighth against righty Tony Gonsolin.

Adael Amador SS | COL
Rockies' Adael Amador: Heading to bench Sunday
Amador is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Amador had started at second base in four of the previous five games but will give way to Kyle Farmer in the series finale. Despite receiving fairly steady playing time since his April 13 promotion, Amador has been unable to get much going at the dish. Through his first 20 games, the 22-year-old rookie is slashing just .173/.246/.308 with one home run and one stolen base across 58 plate appearances.

Christian Koss SS | SF
Giants' Christian Koss: Heading to bench Sunday
Koss is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Brett Wisely will step in at the keystone while Koss takes a seat following a stretch of three consecutive starts. Since Tyler Fitzgerald (rib) joined Casey Schmitt (oblique) on the injured list May 1, Koss has started at second base in seven of the Giants' first 10 games this month while going 5-for-23 (.217) with no extra-base hits or stolen bases.

Kristian Campbell 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Sitting out Sunday
Campbell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Campbell will take a seat for the series finale after going 3-for-26 with no walks and seven strikeouts over the prior six games. David Hamilton will fill in for Campbell at the keystone.
-
Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH
Mets' Jeff McNeil: Taking seat Sunday
McNeil is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Since being activated from the 10-day injured list April 24, McNeil is hitting just .237, though he's provided some pop with four extra-base hits (two home runs, two triples) in 43 plate appearances. McNeil will hit the bench with the Cubs sending southpaw Matthew Boyd to the hill, but he should continue to start against most right-handed pitchers while bouncing between second base, left field and center field.
-
Brett Baty 3B | NYM
Mets' Brett Baty: Back on bench Sunday
Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Though he'll hit the bench against Cubs southpaw Matthew Boyd, Baty appears to be pushing Mark Vientos for a regular spot in the lineup at third base versus right-handed pitching. Baty started each of the prior three games and went 4-for-12 with three home runs and six RBI, while Vientos made just one start at designated hitter during that stretch.
-
Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: XBH in three straight games
Marte went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers.
Marte's productive groundout in the third inning produced Arizona's first run, then he scored the team's final run after an eighth-inning double. He appears to have his timing down after going 2-for-16 in his first five outings after coming off the injured list. Marte has logged extra-base hits in three straight contests, going 4-for-10 with three home runs, one double, four RBI and five runs.

Jake Cronenworth 1B | SD
Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Slugs homer in second game back
Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two total runs and three total RBI in Saturday's 21-0 thrashing of the Rockies.
Cronenworth's long ball was a massive 435-foot solo blast to right field in the third inning. This was just his second game back from a month-long stint on the injured list, and since his return he's gone 3-for-7 with three walks and four RBI. Cronenworth is slashing .286/.436/.548 with three homers, 11 runs and nine RBI through 55 plate appearances on the season.
