Nick Senzel 3B | LAD
Reds' Nick Senzel: Not starting Wednesday
Senzel isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Senzel has gone hitless with a strikeout in his last 11 at-bats, and he'll get a breather for Wednesday's series finale against San Francisco. Tyler Naquin will start in center field Wednesday, batting sixth.

Brewers' Jace Peterson: Takes seat Wednesday

DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY
Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Gets rare rest day
LeMahieu is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
Aaron Hicks will get a turn in the leadoff role while LeMahieu sits for the first time this season. With a .295/.392/.455 slash line through his first 11 starts, LeMahieu has continued to thrive atop the lineup in his third season with the Yankees.

Brian Anderson RF | ATL
Marlins' Brian Anderson: Launches first home run of season
Anderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional RBI in Tuesday's 14-8 win over Atlanta.
Anderson finally rewarded fantasy managers for their patience with Tuesday's performance. The 27-year-old had been struggling early on with just five hits in his first 30 at-bats but shook off the rust with a three-hit performance, including his first home run of the season. It's an encouraging sign to see him finally liven up at the plate, but fantasy managers should continue to take a cautious approach until he can prove that Tuesday's hitting clinic wasn't just a one-game effort.

Rafael Devers 1B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Launches another homer
Devers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Minnesota.
Devers continues to punish opposing pitchers, going deep for a fourth straight game. He's 7-for-16 with five home runs and 10 RBI during that stretch. His 2-for-19 start and shoddy defense have been replaced by this dazzling display of power.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Astros' Alex Bregman: Removed from blowout loss
Bregman was removed from Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Tigers prior to the seventh inning, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
At the time of Bregman's removal, the Astros were down 7-1 and manager Dusty Baker opted to protect the third baseman, who dealt with hamstring injuries during spring training. The manager has held Bregman out of two regular-season games thus far as a protective measure and cited "sore legs" as a reason for one of them. "What went into my decision was the score," Baker said about removing Bregman, Michael Brantley and Jose Altuve late in the game. "Brantley wasn't feeling that well and Bregman, I had to protect his legs. That's something that might be going on all year." Prior to Tuesday's game, Bregman told Rome that he's trending in the right direction in his buildup from the hamstring issues that bothered him this spring.

Manny Machado 3B | SD
Padres' Manny Machado: Steals another base Tuesday
Machado went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Pirates.
Machado is riding an eight-game hitting streak and has also notched a stolen base in back-to-back contests. The 28-year-old is staying consistent with his ability to get on base but hasn't made a ton of noise with his bat just yet. He's slashing .250/.377/.432 with two homers, five RBI and six runs scored to go along with a 9:12 BB:K. He's typically slotted in the order behind two of the team's hottest hitters in Trent Grisham and Jake Cronenworth and should continue to have plenty of RBI chances as long as those guys continue to keep getting on base.

Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW
Reds' Mike Moustakas: Launches second homer
Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts in Tuesday's loss to the Giants.
His homer off Kevin Gausman in the first inning was his second of the year. Moustakas has been overshadowed on the Reds by Nick Castellanos, newcomer Jonathan India and even Tyler Naquin, but the slugging veteran is quietly batting .286 with a .952 OPS through 11 games.

Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Makes impact in twin bill
Urias went 2-for-6 with a home run and three RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mariners.
After popping his first homer of the year, a two-run shot, during a 4-3 loss in the opener, Urias ensured a split for the O's by bringing home Rio Ruiz with a walkoff single in the nightcap. Urias was just 1-for-7 on the season coming into Tuesday and doesn't have much of an offensive resume in the minors, but he should continue to see semi-regular playing time at second base given Baltimore's lack of other options.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Smacks third homer
Arenado went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Nationals.
Arenado continued to enjoy his new home field, smacking his second home run in five games at Busch Stadium. On this occasion, he took Stephen Strasburg yard for a two-run shot and contributed to a 14-run offensive explosion for the Cardinals. Through 47 plate appearances this season, Arenado is hitting .326/.383/.581 with three home runs, seven runs scored and eight RBI across 47 plate appearances.
