  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Remains out Wednesday

    Turang (ankle) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.

    Turang has been battling tendinitis in his left ankle, which has nagged him for the last several days. He'll be on the bench for a second day in a row, and he'll receive an additional day of rest with the Brewers being idle Thursday. Per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Turang believes he'll be ready to go when the Brewers begin a homestand Friday. David Hamilton will handle second base for Milwaukee on Wednesday.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Sitting against southpaw again

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    With the Royals sending a second consecutive lefty starter (Cole Ragans) to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Schneemann will remain out of the lineup for another day. Schneemann could still have a clear path to making regular starts in the middle infield against right-handed pitching following Gabriel Arias' (hamstring) recent placement on the injured list.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Belts third homer

    Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a 7-2 win against the Angels on Tuesday.

    Albies went deep in the eighth inning to give Atlanta a 5-2 lead. It was the veteran second baseman's third long ball through 12 games after he went deep just 16 times over 157 regular-season contests last year. Albies also has four RBI and is slashing .277/.333/.468 so far in 2026 as he looks to bounce back from a pair of subpar campaigns.

  • Nick Gonzales 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Timely hit in win

    Gonzales went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Tuesday against the Padres.

    Gonzales started the first six games of the season, but he has started only three of five contests since the arrival of Konnor Griffin. He delivered a two-run single in the ninth inning to provide some insurance to Pittsburgh's lead. Despite the inconsistent playing time, Gonzales has at least one hit in seven of his nine starts while driving in seven and scoring six runs.

  • Mariners' Brendan Donovan: Belts leadoff homer Tuesday

    Donovan went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk during the Mariners' 3-2 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

    Donovan wasted no time getting the Mariners on the board, taking the first pitch of the game from Nathan Eovaldi deep to right field for a solo shot. It was Donovan's third home run of the season, and he appears to be past the groin injury that caused him to miss the Mariners' final two games of the weekend series against the Angels. He has gone 12-for-35 (.343) with a steal and five RBI to open the season.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Steals another base Tuesday

    Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two RBI in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Rays.

    Hoerner has gotten off to a nice start with a .297/.438/.432 slash line through 11 games. The infielder also has already swiped five bases without getting caught. Despite facing a righty starter in Mason Englert on Tuesday, Hoerner batted leadoff, with Michael Busch slotting in second. Busch has gotten off to a slow start, so the Cubs may elect to keep Hoerner atop the order against both righties and lefties while he's performing so well.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Sitting with ankle/foot issue

    Turang is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox due to an ankle/foot injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    The second baseman has been playing through the injury for about a week, and the Brewers will take Tuesday's matchup against ace lefty Garrett Crochet as an opportunity to get Turang some rest. Milwaukee has a team day off Thursday after Wednesday's series finale in Boston, and it's possible Turang sits for a second straight game in order to string together three straight rest days and potentially get healthy. David Hamilton is manning the keystone Tuesday while Luis Rengifo starts at third base.

  • Mauricio Dubon LF | ATL

    Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Goes yard in Monday's loss

    Dubon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Angels.

    His ninth-inning long ball off Chase Silseth didn't impact the final outcome, but it did continue a hot start at the plate for Dubon. The veteran utility player is slashing .333/.368/.556 through 10 games with two doubles, two homers, six runs and seven RBI as he handles starting shortstop duties for Atlanta. Dubon will be hard to remove from the lineup if he's still providing this much offense when Ha-Seong Kim (finger) is cleared to return, but that decision for manager Walt Weiss is likely still about a month away.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Enters as pinch runner

    Schneemann entered Monday's game as a pinch runner and remained in the game at second base. He went 0-for-1 in his lone plate appearance.

    Schneemann ran for Gabriel Arias (hamstring), who was removed after legging out a two-out, fifth-inning double. Schneemann was stranded on the bases and remained in the game to play second base, while Brayan Rocchio moved from second to shortstop. Arias is expected to miss Tuesday's game and could need more time, which would provide a boost in playing time for Schneemann, who is batting .185 over 27 at-bats.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Drives in three in win

    India went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Monday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.

    India had the biggest swing of the game Monday, knocking in two big insurance runs in the eighth inning with a home run. It was a part of the third multi-hit game of the season for the 29-year-old, who is slashing .250/.344/.464 with two homers, three walks, seven strikeouts and eight RBI on the season. With his two home runs in nine games, India is on pace to shatter the nine home runs he had in 136 games in 2025.
