  • Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU

    Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Grabbing seat Wednesday

    Alvarez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Alvarez exited Monday's game with an undisclosed injury but was back in the lineup Tuesday, so this appears to simply be a routine day off. Jose Altuve is in the designated hitter spot Wednesday, while Zach Dezenzo will handle left field and bat eighth.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Flashes power, speed in rout

    Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 15-2 win over the Marlins.

    The 30-year-old superstar set the tone for the night when he ripped the first pitch he saw from Sandy Alcantara down the right-field line for a leadoff homer. It was Ohtani's first homer since becoming a new father earlier this month, but it hasn't been a distraction for him -- over his last 11 games, he's slashing .311/.415/.622 with three long balls, four steals, five RBI and 14 runs.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Homers in win

    Marte went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

    Marte helped pad the Mets' early lead with a two-run homer in the third to put them up 6-0. It was his second home run of the season, with his other one coming back on March 31. Marte now has four RBI over his last three games and has reached base in four straight. For the year, he's slashing just .184/.305/.347 with 10 RBI, seven runs, two steals and a 4:11 BB:K in 59 plate appearances.

  • Jorge Polanco 1B | NYM

    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Goes yard twice again

    Polanco went 2-for-3 with a walk, two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

    The 31-year-old carried the M's offense with his second two-homer performance in the last three games, as he took Jack Kochanowicz deep in the second inning for a three-run blast before teeing off on a Jose Fermin sinker in the seventh. Polanco may be the hottest hitter in baseball right now, going 10-for-20 over his last six games with two doubles, six long balls and 13 RBI, and his 1.242 OPS is the highest in the majors among players with at least 75 plate appearances.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Goes deep Tuesday

    Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

    Devers swatted a 422-foot blast to right in the third for his only knock of the evening. It's his third home run in his last four games, a span during which he's compiled four RBI and scored six runs while posting a 3:3 BB:K. Devers is still working on upping his batting average after a very slow start to the year. He's currently hitting .217/.352/.417 with five homers, 18 RBI, 21 runs and a 24:39 BB:K in 142 plate appearances.

  • Pavin Smith RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Starts against southpaw

    Smith started at first base and went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.

    The lefty-hitting Smith got a rare start against a left-hander, stepping in for Josh Naylor (another lefty), who received his first day off of the season. Smith was 1-for-2 against starter David Peterson, and then walked and singled against right-handed relievers. A .226 career hitter against southpaws, Smith has just seven plate appearances against them this season, going 1-for-5 with two walks.

  • Kyle Schwarber LF | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Clubs eighth homer Tuesday

    Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

    Schwarber clubbed the first pitch he saw for a two-run shot in the first inning. It snapped an eight-game homerless spell for the veteran slugger, who's seen his average dip in the past few weeks in the process. Over his last 15 games, Schwarber is batting just .196 (10-for-51) with two long balls, one double, eight RBI and seven runs scored.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Walks off Minnesota

    Manzardo went 2-for-3 with a walk and a walk-off solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win against the Twins.

    Offense was at a premium Tuesday in Cleveland, but Manzardo had a productive evening and came through in the clutch with a solo homer to break a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the ninth inning. The 24-year-old is batting just .227 through 26 games this season, but he's still showcased his power potential with eight long balls. Manzardo has provided a bit more consistency over the past 10 games, however, having gone 11-for-37 (.297 average) with two doubles and three homers.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Goes deep in win

    Suzuki went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double, a triple, three runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over Pittsburgh.

    Suzuki finished a single short of the cycle in Tuesday's dominant performance. He doubled and scored in the fourth inning, knocked a two-run shot in the seventh and capped off his day with a triple and another run scored in the ninth. Suzuki has collected multiple hits in four of his last six games. He owns a strong .298/.368/.596 slash line with 15 extra-base hits and 25 RBI through 117 plate appearances.

  • Ben Rice 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Ben Rice: Belts two homers Tuesday

    Rice went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and four runs scored in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Orioles.

    Rice was on the bench for the series opener Monday, and the additional rest paid off. He was one of five Yankee players to hit a home run in Tuesday's contest, with both of his two solo shots came off the returning Kyle Gibson in the first and second innings. Rice is up to eight home runs on the season, which surpasses his mark from 2024 (seven) in 72 less plate appearances. He has a .998 OPS with 22 runs scored and 13 RBI this season.
