  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Walks it off to continue hot April

    Lindor went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

    Lindor capped off a seesaw battle with a walk-off solo shot, the first walk-off homer of his Mets career. After getting off to a 0-for-11 start in March, the All-Star shortstop has hit safely in 14 of his first 15 games in the month of April. During this hot stretch, Lindor is slashing .308/.365/.462 with two homers, seven RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Cracks three-run shot vs. Baltimore

    De La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Friday's 8-3 win over the Orioles.

    De La Cruz struck out in three of his five at-bats Friday, but he put the Reds on the board in the third inning when he took the first pitch he saw from Cade Povich deep to center field for a 400-foot, three-run long shot. It was De La Cruz's fourth homer of the season, and his 21 RBI are tied with Pete Alonso and Kyle Tucker for second most in the National League behind Wilmer Flores (23).

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Heating up this month

    Lindor went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.

    Lindor lined a single to drive in a run in the fourth inning but also helped another run come across while getting caught in a rundown to end the frame. The All-Star shortstop has now hit safely in 13 of his 14 outings in April, slashing .317/.377/.433 with one home run, six RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases across 60 at-bats this month following a 0-for-11 start in March.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Up to 18 RBI

    Perdomo went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 win at Miami.

    After launching his third homer of the season Wednesday -- already matching his 2024 total -- Perdomo followed it up with another productive performance in Thursday's series finale. The shortstop has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball early in 2025, as he's tied for fifth in MLB with 18 RBI and has a .317/.427/.492 slash line through 84 plate appearances.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Winn (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Winn has ramped up his baseball activities this week and is ready to test things out in a game setting. Barring a setback, he is on pace to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday. Winn has missed nearly a week of action with lower-back spasms.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Reaches three times in loss

    Edwards went 2-for-5 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored during Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Edwards is without an extra-base hit in his past nine contests, but he's still providing plenty of production atop the lineup with a .400 batting average (16-for-40) and eight walks during a 10-game hit streak. The 25-year-old entered the day tied for fifth in MLB with six stolen bases and also has 11 runs and seven RBI through 85 plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Production slowing

    Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-4 with a run scored Wednesday against the Nationals.

    Kiner-Falefa has struggled at the plate after a relatively hot start to the year, as he has just four hits across his last 25 at-bats (eight games) after Wednesday's multi-hit effort. He's also slowed on the basepaths, failing to tally a stolen base since March 31 while being caught on his last two attempts.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Logs steal in loss

    De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and was caught stealing in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Seattle.

    De La Cruz had an eventful night on the basepaths. In the fourth inning, he walked and stole second, before he was caught leaning and picked off trying to steal third. He then reached base via a single in the eighth inning and tried stealing second base, but he was ruled out when Austin Hays, who had struck out, interfered with the catcher's ability to throw. The successful steal was the fourth in 18 games for De La Cruz, who is behind his pace for last season when he swiped 67 bags.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Scratched from lineup

    Tovar was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to left hip pain, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    The severity of Tovar's injury remains unknown, but it's enough to prevent him from playing in Wednesday's contest. Kyle Farmer will shift to shortstop while Tovar rests, opening up second base for Adael Amador.

  • Nasim Nunez 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Getting third straight start

    Nunez will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    With Paul DeJong (nose) joining CJ Abrams (hip) on the injured list Tuesday, Nunez looks as though he could have a clear path to regular playing time in the short term. He had already started at shortstop in the Nationals' previous two games, going 4-for-7 with a double, a stolen base, two runs and two RBI.
