  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Drives in two runs

    Senzel went 2-for-3 with a triple, a double, two runs, two RBI and a walk during Wednesday's 11-4 win over Pittsburgh.

    It's the second straight multi-hit game for the 25-year-old and also his fourth consecutive contest with at least one walk. Senzel is 5-for-14 with one triple, nine runs, two RBI and five walks through five games this season.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Follow-up X-rays also negative

    Additional X-rays on Davis' left wrist were negative, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Initial X-rays were negative, but the Mets wanted to be sure there was nothing broken after Davis was hit by a pitch on the left hand Tuesday. He has been cleared of a serious injury and is considered day-to-day. Luis Guillorme is filling in at third base Wednesday.

    Mets' J.D. Davis: More X-rays coming

    Mets manager Luis Rojas said Davis will undergo additional X-rays on his bruised left hand Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Though the initial X-rays Davis underwent Tuesday revealed no structural damage, he apparently had too much inflammation on his hand for the scans to get a clear image. Davis will sit out Wednesday's game in Philadelphia, but the Mets are still viewing him as day-to-day heading into this weekend's series with Miami.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Yankees' Gio Urshela: Losing heat on throws

    Urshela is averaging 77.6 miles per hour on his throws from third base, a drop of nearly five mph from his 2020 average, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    The loss of velocity could be attributed to Urshela still attempting to regain full strength in his throwing shoulder after he required surgery in December to remove a bone spur. Urshela, who is off to a 4-for-18 start to the season, has noticed a similar decline in his Statcast metrics at the plate, with his average exit velocity, max exit velocity and hard-hit percentage all down from 2020. The small sample of data thus far makes it difficult to draw any major conclusions for Urshela's rest-of-season outlook, but the early returns aren't overly encouraging.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Taking part in limited activities

    Hayes (wrist) continues to improve but may not immediately return after serving 10 days on the injured list, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

    Director of Medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Hayes is "making daily improvements" but has yet to swing a bat or play catch. Tomczyk added that the injury was more severe than the original day-to-day diagnosis. "Obviously we want him back as safely and expeditiously as we can with the long term in mind," Tomczyk said. "So if it's not day 11, it's not day 11. We want him to feel strong. We want him to feel confident. We want him to be healthy for the majority of the season." Hayes is eligible to return to action April 14.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Sitting Wednesday

    Davis (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    Davis was able to avoid any structural damage to his left hand after getting struck by a pitch in Tuesday's win, but the Mets will give him the series finale off while he's presumably still managing some soreness. Luis Guillorme will check in for Davis at third base in what amounts to an upgrade in the field but a downgrade at the plate.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Moncada isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Moncada went 4-for-22 with a double, three runs and 12 strikeouts while starting the first six games of the season. Jake Lamb will start at third base Wednesday, batting second.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Takes seat for day game

    Suarez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Suarez appears to be getting some routine maintenance with the Reds concluding their homestand Wednesday with a day game. Kyle Farmer checks in at shortstop for Suarez, who has fallen into a 1-for-15 rut at the dish over the last four games since homering in the April 1 season opener.

  • Nick Madrigal 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Nick Madrigal: Steals base late

    Madrigal went 1-for-3 with a single, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Mariners.

    Madrigal reached base in the eighth after getting hit in the shoulder and promptly took second for his first steal of the young season. The former 2018 first-round pick only had two steals in 29 games last year, but hopefully this could be a sign that he'll be more active when on base to make up for his lack of run production so far at the plate.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Blasts first homer

    Muncy went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 victory over the Athletics.

    Muncy broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning with a two-run shot to right field. The blast against his former club was his first of the season. After batting a disappointing .192 during the abbreviated 2020 campaign, Muncy is off to a fast start with a .391/.481/.652 slash line through six games this season.
