Duffy went 3-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Individually, this was an encouraging game from Duffy, but the hitters behind him in the order went a combined 0-for-11 with one walk. Through two games, Duffy is 5-for-7 with a home run, two RBI and one strikeout. He's been one of the Royals' few bright spots, so there's a case to be made for him challenging for more regular playing time -- at least against southpaws.

Vosler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss against the Cubs.

Make it three consecutive games with a homer for Vosler, who had four long balls all of last season (a career high). He also had a triple in the opener, so Vosler is slugging a cool 1.113 in the early going. The 29-year-old is doing his best Brandon Drury impression and the Reds figure to ride with Vosler's hot bat in the starting lineup for the time being, at least against right-handed pitching.

Wisdom (wrist) went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-5 win over the Reds.

Wisdom took a pitch to his left wrist Monday, but he didn't miss any time and looked fine at the plate Tuesday. The 31-year-old has so far seen time at third base and in right field, and it looks like he could rotate between the two positions but ultimately see regular playing time. Wisdom popped 53 home runs over the past two seasons, so he can be a fantasy factor while he's in the lineup.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and six RBI during Tuesday's 9-0 win against the Mets.

The 29-year-old delivered his first long ball of the season in Monday's blowout victory over New York, and he connected again twice to power Milwaukee's offense Tuesday. Anderson hit just eight home runs in 98 games for the Marlins last season, but he's off to a hot start with the Brewers in 2023 with a 1.779 OPS through 15 at-bats.

Segura went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Twins.

The veteran infielder lined a two-out single up the middle in the second inning, then promptly swiped his first bag of the season. Segura stole 13 bases in 19 attempts last season, and the 33-year-old could be a player who benefits from MLB's rule changes to boost the running game; however, first he'll need to start getting on base more frequently -- he's just 2-for-18 (.111) at the plate through the first five games of the year.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters that Henderson is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers while dealing with a sore right hand, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

"He's fine, just it's tender," Hyde said while also noting that Henderson could be available off the bench to pinch-hit. The rookie took a 107 mph grounder off his right hand in Monday's game against the Rangers, and Baltimore will give the 21-year-old some rest to recover. There's a very good chance Henderson will be back in the lineup Wednesday, but fantasy managers will want to pay close attention.

Henderson isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

After recording his first two hits of the season Monday, including a home run off Jon Gray, Henderson will get a day off Tuesday against fellow lefty Andrew Heaney. His absence from the lineup moves Ramon Urias to third base, Anthony Santander into the designated hitter role and allows Ryan McKenna to play in left field and bat ninth.

Baty is scheduled to undergo imaging tests Wednesday after injuring his right thumb in a game Tuesday with Triple-A Syracuse, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

It's ominous news given that the 23-year-old top prospect required surgery for a torn ligament in that same thumb last September. This latest issue is being called right thumb soreness for now, but the imaging scans will paint a fuller picture. Baty was challenging for starting third base duties this spring in Mets camp before Eduardo Escobar ultimately claimed the gig. The former has gotten off to a strong start to the season at Triple-A, going 5-for-14 with two home runs and a stolen base in three contests.

Machado was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks for arguing an automatic third-strike call in the first inning.

Machado tried to call time as the pitch clock ticked down, but the request was denied and then he quickly got the heave-ho after voicing his displeasure with home plate umpire Ron Kulpa. He was starting at DH for the Padres in their matinee tilt versus Arizona and finished 0-for-1 with a strikeout. Nelson Cruz entered in his place.

Paredes is absent from the Rays' lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.

Paredes clubbed his first home run of the season in Monday's win but finds himself riding the pine a day later. Tampa Bay is going with the slick-fielding Taylor Walls at third base.
