Peterson entered Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Yankees as a pinch hitter and walked.

It was the second overall appearance for Peterson and his first time at the plate this season. He pinch hit for rookie Blaze Alexander, who started at DH, in the eighth inning and finished the game at second base. Peterson's versatility will keep him around, and he could provide value in the steals category, but he'd need regular opportunities to do that.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

Paredes tallied his second home run of the season with a three-run blast off Yerry Rodriguez in the fifth inning to put the Rays up 5-0. After going hitless through his first two games, Paredes now has three hits over his last 10 at-bats and has managed to reach base with a walk and a hit-by-pitch as well.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a double, triple, walk and three RBI en route to a 4-1 victory over the Orioles on Tuesday.

Garcia hit a two-run double in the second inning to put Kansas City ahead 3-0, and he later added some insurance in the fourth with an RBI triple. The hard-hitting 24-year-old has offered plenty of production as the Royals' leadoff man to begin the season, and hitting in front of Bobby Witt only increases Garcia's fantasy value.

Madrigal went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Rockies. He also stole a base.

Madrigal batted eighth but got in on the fun as the whole Chicago lineup rolled. The 27-year-old started at third base in this one, though he's still behind Christopher Morel on the depth chart and is serving more as a utility player at this point. Madrigal will need more regular playing time to really take off as a fantasy asset this season.

Busch is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Busch is 2-for-13 with three walks and a run through the first four games of the season, and he'll head to the bench for Tuesday's contest. Garrett Cooper will receive a start at first base, batting seventh.

Rangers general manager Chris Young said that Jung will be sidelined for six weeks after having surgery Tuesday to repair his fractured right wrist, Stefan Stevenson of SI FanNation reports.

Jung suffered the injury on a hit-by-pitch Monday and the surgery was performed by the same doctor who repaired his fractured thumb last August. Josh Smith received the first start at third base in Jung's place Tuesday, but Ezequiel Duran and Justin Foscue will also be in the mix at the hot corner.

Urias is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias will take a seat Tuesday for the second time in Baltimore's first five games of the season. Jordan Westburg will receive another look at third base while Tony Kemp starts at the keystone.

Jung was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Rangers on Tuesday with a fractured right wrist, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Jung suffered the unfortunate injury when he was hit by a pitch in Monday's game against the Rays. There is no timetable for the 26-year-old's return at this point, but he will certainly be on the shelf for several weeks. Josh Smith is getting the first shot to fill in at third base for Jung on Tuesday, but Ezequiel Duran and Justin Foscue will also be in the mix.

The Marlins acquired Rivera from the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.

Rivera will be a candidate for some playing time at designated hitter and at third base on days Jake Burger plays first or is the DH. The 27-year-old is a career .247/.304/.380 hitter over parts of three major-league seasons. Jacob Amaya was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Reimer is on the 60-day injured list with High-A Brooklyn due to a pulled hamstring, Sam Dykstra of MLB.com reports.

Reimer logged high on-base percentages as a 19-year-old at Single-A and High-A last season, but he only hit seven home runs with three steals in 100 games. He is expected back in early June, per Dykstra.
