Vientos went 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in Friday's win over the A's.

After a breakout 2024, Vientos has stumbled out of the gates this season with a .109/.241/.152 slash line, zero homers and only one RBI through his first 54 plate appearances. The 25-year-old is showing signs of finding his timing at the plate, however -- he's reached base nine times in the last six games with six walks and three hits, although all three knocks have been singles.

Smith started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.

Smith, who had filled in at third base when Josh Jung was unavailable, moved to left field with Wyatt Langford (oblique) on the injured list. The versatile infielder/outfielder is 10-for-24 with three doubles, a home run, two RBI, three steals and seven runs scored over the last eight games. Kevin Pillar could see time in left field against southpaws, but Smith is expected to be the primary fill-in while Langford is out.

Candelario started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Pirates.

The Reds' first three batters walked to open the bottom of the first inning, setting up a possible big inning, but a run-scoring double-play had the potential to limit the damage. That's when Candelario picked up his mates with his first home run of the season. He entered the game with just four hits in his previous 40 at-bats before delivering those two-out RBI. Candelario's slump has not cost him too much playing time, but that could change next week when left fielder Austin Hays (calf) is due back. Hays' return will free up Gavin Lux to potentially move from the outfield to third base.

Jung went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base Friday against the Mariners.

Jung connected for a game-tying two-run homer off Mariners right-hander Trent Thornton in the sixth inning that just snuck over the right-field wall. While Jung hasn't yet drawn a walk across 19 plate appearances, he's batting a scorching .474 with the aforementioned long ball, two doubles, one triple and six RBI through five games so far this season. The former top prospect should be rostered in the majority of mixed fantasy leagues.

Polanco went 3-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against Texas.

Polanco took Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom deep for a 384-foot shot down the right-field line in the first inning. The switch-hitting Polanco is expected to remain solely a designated hitter while he manages side soreness, which is also preventing him from hitting right-handed, but the veteran infielder is certainly worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues at the moment. Through 31 at-bats so far this year, Polanco is batting a torrid .419 with three long balls, 11 RBI, three runs scored and one stolen base.

Paredes went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks and a total of three runs scored in Friday's 14-3 win over the Angels.

This was Paredes' third multi-hit effort over the last five games. The homer, an eighth-inning solo shot, was his first as an Astro and just his second extra-base hit of the season. After a slow start, Paredes is batting .275 (14-for-51) with a .736 OPS, five RBI, six runs scored and no stolen bases over 60 plate appearances. He's made a home for himself in the No. 2 spot in the lineup and should rack up plenty of counting stats -- aside from steals -- in a strong offense.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, one walk and one stolen base in Friday's 14-3 win over the Angels.

Smith's starting to figure things out in the majors -- this was his second multi-hit effort in a row. He's also driven in five runs over his last three games, and he supplied some insurance runs with an eighth-inning homer Friday. The 22-year-old is batting .241 (7-for-29) with a 3:10 BB:K across his first nine major-league contests. He's getting a chance to play a starting role in right field after being acquired by the Astros in their trade with the Cubs that sent Kyle Tucker to Chicago in the offseason. Smith was drafted 14th overall in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft and has skipped Triple-A to begin 2025 in the majors after logging just 32 minor-league contests over three levels in the second half of last year.

Dunn isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The Brewers will match up against left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez on Friday, so the left-handed bat of Dunn will begin the game in the dugout. Vinny Capra will fill in at third base and bat eighth.

Muncy is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Cubs on Friday, Noah Camras of DodgersNation.com reports.

With the Cubs sending left-hander Matthew Boyd to the mound, Muncy will begin Friday's game in the dugout while Miguel Rojas starts at third base and bats ninth. Muncy has gone 6-for-25 with three doubles, two RBI and 11 strikeouts since the beginning of April.

The Padres selected Wade's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

With Jake Cronenworth (rib) headed for the injured list, the Padres will bring Wade back onto their major-league roster as infield depth. The 30-year-old appeared in 90 games for San Diego last season, slashing .217/.285/.239 with eight RBI and eight steals across 155 plate appearances. Matt Waldron (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.
