MLB Player News

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Angels.

Ramirez reached base in the first and sixth and successfully stole both times he got on. The 28-year-old is riding a five-game hitting streak and is now up to six stolen bases on the year. He continues to be one of Cleveland's most productive players on offense, slashing .265/.353/.578 with 12 home runs, 25 RBI and 29 runs scored.

Moncada went 1-for-2 with two walks in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Minnesota.

Moncada extended his hitting streak to nine games, during which he's 11-for-27 with a 1.135 OPS. He's also drawn at least one walk in eight straight, getting a free pass to first base 11 times and raising his OBP to .407.

Muncy went 2-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run in a 4-2 victory over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Muncy has been an on-base machine this season, registering a .443 on-base percentage (second in MLB) thanks in large part to a league-leading 38 walks. His stolen base Wednesday was a nice surprise for fantasy managers who roster him, as it was only his second successful swipe since 2019.

Escobar went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers.

Escobar got to Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in the fourth inning, tagging the left-hander for a two-run shot to center field. The long ball was his 10th this season, placing him in a tie for fourth place in the National League. Despite the power output, Escobar is batting only .217 on the campaign.

Bregman went 0-for-2 with three walks and three runs scored Wednesday against the Athletics.

Bregman didn't record a hit yet still managed to reach base three times and to come around to score on each occasion. Hitless games have been rare for Bregman to this point in the season, as he has come up empty only three times across his last 15 contests. Overall, Bregman has maintained a .312/.391/.471 line with five home runs, 22 RBI and 26 runs scored across 36 games.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a home run in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

Anderson is only hitting .216 with a meager .605 OPS this season, but he made his presence felt with his third homer of the campaign. The third baseman seems to be turning things around following a slow start to the season and has hit safely in five of his last six contests.

Duffy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

David Bote will step in at third base in place of Duffy, who has emerged as a regular at the position while Kris Bryant has taken on more work in the outfield over the past few weeks. Duffy had started in each of the Cubs' previous eight games, going 8-for-33 with a home run, a double, five RBI and five runs over that stretch.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and another two-bagger in a win over the Astros on Tuesday.

Chapman's two-game, 5-for-8 tear has quickly boosted his average 23 points to .233, and he's also driven in four runs along the way. The third baseman's slugging percentage remains a pedestrian .404 at the moment, but he has contributed 13 extra-base hits (six doubles, two triples, five home runs) and currently boasts a career-high 12.8 percent walk rate that has his OBP at a respectable .331.

Maton isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Maton will get a breather after he went 6-for-12 with two home runs, five RBI and four runs in the last three games. Ronald Torreyes will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Sosa went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a run in a win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

Sosa's third-inning two-bagger brought home Nolan Arenado to close out the scoring on the day for the Cardinals and also served as his first extra-base hit of the season. The 25-year-old only has 23 plate appearances in 2021, but Paul DeJong's (ribs) current stint on the injured list should continue affording Sosa some semi-regular playing time for the moment.
