Wisdom started at third base and went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Arizona.

Wisdom got the start as Asdrubel Cabrera was given the day off after criss-crossing the country to be sworn in as an American citizen in Miami. Cabrera is expected to play Wednesday while Wisdom retreats to the bench. In addition to backup duty at third base, Wisdom will share first base with Logan Forsythe while Ronald Guzman (hamstring) is sidelined on the 10-day injured list.

Moustakas went 1-for-2 with two walks, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 11-8 win over the Angels.

The 30-year-old has gone yard in consecutive games, giving him four homers on the year to go along with two doubles -- and only two singles, saddling Moustakas with a .211 batting average through 12 contests. That number should rise as the season progresses, but his power production will remain his biggest selling point as a fantasy asset.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 win at Philadelphia.

Rendon started things off with a sacrifice fly during the first inning and then came through with an RBI double in the sixth. The 29-year-old now owns a nine-game hit streak in which he is 16-for-34 with 13 runs scored, 11 RBI, four home runs and six doubles.

Duffy (hamstring/back) has still not resumed any baseball activities but is getting closer to doing so, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

The oft-injured infielder is dealing with multiple injuries, and his possible return date is currently projected as early-to-mid May in a best-case scenario. The report from manager Kevin Cash that Duffy is getting closer to resuming baseball activities is encouraging, but he'll presumably still face a multi-week rehab process even when he reaches that benchmark.

Suarez went 3-for-5 with a solo homer in a 14-0 victory against the Marlins on Tuesday.

The Reds have really struggled offensively this season, but they were probably due for a night like this. Cincinnati exploded for 14 runs on 16 hits, including four homers. Suarez accounted for three of those hits, raising his season average to .258. He also has two homers, four RBI and three runs in 10 games this season.

Bregman left Tuesday's game against the Yankees after tweaking his right hamstring, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Bregman sustained the the injury running the bases and was removed during the eighth inning. The 25-year-old is likely to be out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale so he can take advantage of the following off-day. Bregman hopes to be ready for Friday's game at Seattle.

Moncada went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and two runs in a 10-5 loss to the Rays on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old went a bit cold over the weekend, going 1-for-14 in the three games prior to Tuesday, but it's nice to see the youngster avoid a prolonged slump. He's had a strong start, hitting .326 with a .628 slugging percentage and 13 RBI this season. He also has three homers and 11 runs in 10 games.

Kieboom went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base for Triple-A Fresno on Monday.

The 21-year-old didn't take long to adjust to his new level of competition. Kieboom's still looking for his first homer, but that shouldn't take long, especially with regular action in the hitter-friendly parks of the PCL. The Nats have made it clear they don't want to rush Kieboom to the majors, even with Trea Turner (finger) sidelined, but as the organization showed last year with Juan Soto, it won't hesitate to pull the trigger if the club has a need and a top prospect proves to be ready for the next challenge.

Devers will start at third base and hit sixth Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Devers has previously batted sixth on two occasions this season, but both came against left-handed starting pitchers. Righty Matt Shoemaker is on the mound for Toronto in Boston's home opener, so Devers' drop in the lineup looks to be a byproduct of his early struggles rather than for matchup-related reasons. Devers may need to rebound from his 9-for-40 start to the campaign before reclaiming the spot in three hole he had previously occupied on a regular basis.

Moncada went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Rays.

Moncada's in a bit of slide after a productive start. He's 1-for-14 with five strikeouts over the last three games. It's nothing to be too concerned with unless the slide grows longer and becomes a full-fledged slump. Moncada's taken a more aggressive approach this season, swinging earlier in counts; his swing percentage is up to 46 percent, five points higher than in 2018.
