Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Collects two doubles in win
Arenado went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Phillies.
Arenado logged a double in each of his first two at-bats but caught a break in the first inning. Brad Miller misjudged a sliding catch in left field and the ball went off his glove and rolled all the way to the wall, giving him his lone RBI of the evening and tying the game up at 1-1. The two extra-base hits helped him snap a minor 0-for-10 drought and raised his slash line to .256/.309/.456 with four home runs, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored through his first 23 games as a Cardinal.

DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY
Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Reaches base three times
LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Orioles.
LeMahieu entered this game in a 2-for-20 slump, but he bounced back in a big way and reached base three times -- tying a season-high mark for him in that category. The second baseman is having a slow start to the season, though, and he's hitting just .262 with a .704 OPS thus far -- that average would rank as a career-worst mark for him excluding his rookie year in 2011.

Hayes (wrist) should start swinging again this week, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Evan Longoria 3B | ARI
Giants' Evan Longoria: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Longoria is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The 35-year-old missed the previous three games with left hamstring tightness before rejoining the lineup Monday and going 2-for-2 with a double, three RBI and a run, but he'll return to the bench Tuesday. There's been no indication Longoria aggravated the injury, so the Giants may just be exercising caution after the veteran's return to action. Jason Vosler will start at the hot corner and bat eighth in his place for San Francisco.
