Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Logs two RBI in win
Jung went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Yankees.
Jung's two-run single in the fifth inning was all the Rangers needed and extended a hit streak to nine games, during which he's 12-for-32 with six extra-base hits (two home runs) and nine RBI. It continued an impressive resurrection of the third baseman's bat. Since going 4-for-29 (.138) with one RBI over the first eight games, Jung has slashed .389/.458/.708 with 15 extra-base hits (four home runs), 16 RBI and 11 runs over the next 20 contests. That stretch has also earned him a higher placement in the order; Jung served as the No. 2 hitter the last three games.

Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Swipes bag in win
Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Rays.
Ramirez doubled and stole third base in the seventh inning, which upped his season total to 12 steals, tied for second in MLB. After a crime spree in which he stole nine bases in an 11-game span, Wednesday's theft was his first in seven contests.

Ildemaro Vargas 3B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ildemaro Vargas: Keeps rolling
Vargas went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Brewers.
Vargas wasted little time extending his season-opening hit streak to 22 games when he singled in his first plate appearance. Going back to 2025, the utility infielder has hit safely in 25 consecutive games. Vargas, who has become the team's primary first baseman, doesn't have any real competition for playing time at the moment with both Carlos Santana (thigh) and Pavin Smith (elbow) on the injured list.

Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Swats go-ahead homer
Arenado went went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Brewers.
Arenado went yard in the fourth inning to put the Diamondbacks ahead for good. The third baseman has gone 12-for-22 (.545) with two homers, six RBI and a 5:2 BB:K over his last seven games, hitting safely in six of them. For the season, he's batting .284 with a .787 OPS, five long balls, 17 RBI, 15 runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases over 27 contests.

Nationals' Curtis Mead: Racks up career-high four hits
Mead went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and four runs scored in Wednesday's 14-2 win over the Mets.
Mead couldn't be stopped Wednesday, crossing the plate a season-high four times while also submitting his first career four-hit attack. The infielder has gone deep three times in his past seven outings, though he was hitless in the other four contests. Overall, Mead is batting .226 with four homers, four doubles, seven walks and 12 RBI through 62 at-bats.

Brady House 3B | WAS
Nationals' Brady House: Wallops first career grand slam
House went 1-for-5 with a grand slam and a walk in Wednesday's 14-2 win over the Mets.
House belted his first career grand slam en route to recording a season-high four RBI on Wednesday. Though he has no multi-hit efforts since April 14, House has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games. Through 111 at-bats overall, the infielder is batting just .225 with four homers, four doubles and 14 RBI.

Jose Tena 3B | WAS
Nationals' Jose Tena: On bench for fifth straight
Tena is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
The left-handed-hitting Tena will hit the bench for the fifth game in a row, though the Nationals have faced four left-handed starters during that stretch. Even so, Tena looks like he might have to settle for a part-time role against right-handed pitching, with Jorbit Vivas having built a case for more opportunities.

Jared Triolo 3B | PIT
Pirates' Jared Triolo: Shifts rehab to Double-A
Triolo (knee) went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and an additional run Tuesday in a rehab game with Double-A Altoona.
Triolo has moved his minor-league assignment to Altoona this week after appearing in a pair of games last week for Single-A Bradenton. The 28-year-old logged nine innings at third base Tuesday, but the Pirates may want to see him play full games on back-to-back days before bringing him back from the injured list. Once Triolo is activated, he could reclaim the primary role at third base from Nick Gonzales.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN
Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Oblique still sore
Reds manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that Suarez's left oblique remains tender, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
The hope is that Suarez will improve enough in the coming days before getting re-imaged during the Reds' May 1-7 road trip. He would then be able to ramp up baseball activities if the scans yield favorable results. Suarez is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Saturday, but it's looking like he won't return until at least mid-May. Nathaniel Lowe will continue to serve as the Reds' primary designated hitter while Suarez is sidelined.
