  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Starts at first base

    Duran started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Angels.

    Duran entered the starting lineup with Jake Burger sitting out due to an illness. Duran, who opened the season in Texas and was recently recalled from the minors, is hitless through 14 at-bats.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Belts second homer

    Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

    The blast shouldn't have happened, as Machado popped up two balls in foul territory during the same at-bat, but he got reprieves each time when they were dropped by Kyle Tucker and Gage Workman. Machado took full advantage of the extra chance, driving the ninth pitch he saw from Shota Imanaga over the fence in left-center field. It was Machado's second long ball of the season in 18 games, and the 32-year-old has had an overall strong start to the campaign, slashing .313/.387/.507 with six steals, seven RBI and 16 runs.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: In deep funk

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over Miami.

    Suarez helped carry the Diamondbacks through the season's opening week but has hit the skids since. After launching his fifth home run in the fifth game of the season, Suarez is batting .098 (4-for-41) with zero RBI and 17 strikeouts over the subsequent 12 contests.

  • Oliver Dunn 2B | CHW

    Brewers' Oliver Dunn: Swipes bag Tuesday

    Dunn went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

    Dunn walked and stole second in the eighth for his first steal of the year. He had just three steals in 41 games last year and doesn't run a ton. The 27-year-old is slashing just .171/.211/.229 with five RBI, four runs and a 2:11 BB:K in 39 plate appearances.

  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Belts first homer off bench in win

    Lee went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Mets.

    The former top prospect replaced the injured Carlos Correa (wrist) in the fifth inning, later belting a solo shot in the seventh inning to put the Twins in front 6-3. The status of Correa remains uncertain going forward, and Lee could be primed for more playing time until the former is ready to rejoin the lineup. Through three outings so far this year, Lee has gone 2-for-7 with the aforementioned long ball, two RBI, one walk and one run scored.

  • Dylan Moore LF | PHI

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Knocks two homers

    Moore went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's loss to Cincinnati.

    Moore popped a leadoff homer before adding an RBI single in the second inning. He capped off his day with a two-run shot in the fifth, but unfortunately for Seattle, his four-RBI day was the only offense in the 8-4 loss. Moore's big night boosted his slash line to .306/.375/.639 with four home runs and six RBI through 40 plate appearances.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Homers twice against Tampa Bay

    Bregman (personal) went 5-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rays.

    Bregman powered the Red Sox's offense Tuesday, with four of his five hits driving in a run. He got Boston on the board with an RBI single in the first inning, then proceeded to belt his third and fourth home runs of the season in the third and seventh innings, respectively. It was Bregman's seventh two-homer game and the first time in his major-league career that he recorded five hits in a game, and he was a triple shy of a cycle. Bregman will fly back to Boston on Wednesday and be placed on the paternity list, which will allow him to miss up to three games. Romy Gonzalez will likely fill in at third base while Bregman is away from the team.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Headed to paternity list

    Bregman will fly back to Boston on Wednesday for the birth of his child, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    The Red Sox will place Bregman on the paternity list Wednesday, which will allow him to miss up to three games while he welcomes a new addition to his family. Romy Gonzalez could start at third base while Bregman is away.

  • Paul DeJong SS | NYY

    Nationals' Paul DeJong: Exits after being hit in face

    DeJong exited Tuesday's contest against the Pirates in the top of the sixth inning after being hit in the face by a pitch, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    DeJong was struck in the left side of his face by a 92.7 mph fastball from Mitch Keller, suffering a cut beneath his eye. The 31-year-old was subsequently removed from the game, and Amed Rosario replaced him in the contest. More information will likely be provided on DeJong's status in the near future.

  • Jose Miranda 3B | MIN

    Twins' Jose Miranda: Out with hand strain

    Triple-A St. Paul placed Miranda on its 7-day injured list Tuesday due to a left hand strain, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    The 26-year-old was optioned to Triple-A over the weekend but will shift to the injured list before seeing game action with St. Paul. According to Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune, Miranda suffered the injury on St. Paul's off day Monday while he was shopping and grabbing for a case of water. Miranda had hit just .167 over 12 games with the Twins prior to his demotion.
