Baez went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double, three RBI and three runs scored Tuesday against the Reds.

Baez came through with both of his home runs late in the game -- one in the seventh inning, the other in the ninth -- to help secure a win for the Cubs. They were his first two long balls of the season, though he now has two multi-hit efforts five games into the campaign. He'll look to stay hot Wednesday as the team continues its series in Cincinnati.

Berti and the rest of the Marlins won't take the field again this week due to the team's coronavirus outbreak, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Roughly half of the team's active roster has tested positive for COVID-19. It's not clear whether or not Berti is part of that group, but he won't play again until next Tuesday at the earliest.

Rojas tested positive for COVID-19, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Roughly half of the Marlins' active roster has reportedly tested positive, though the majority of the names haven't been made public. Rojas got off to an incredibly hot start in the opening series against the Phillies, going 7-for-10 with a homer and a steal, but it's not yet clear when he (or any of his teammates) will next take the field.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 14-5 loss to the Rays.

After going yard Sunday, the shortstop stayed in a groove with his power stroke. Swanson has gone 6-for-15 through four games with two homers and seven RBI to begin 2020, but after striking out twice Monday he also carries a shaky 0:6 BB:K, a sign he could cool down in a hurry.

Story went 2-for-2 with two home runs, three RBI and two walks in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

Story's two-run blast in the fourth inning was his first of the young 2020 season, and he followed it with his second just two innings later. The 27-year-old shortstop has been a fantasy stud over the last few seasons and that should continue to be the case in a shortened 2020 campaign.

Edman went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Pittsburgh.

Edman gave the Cardinals a 1-0 lead with his RBI single in the third inning, but it was the only run his team could manage in the contest. The 25-year-old utilityman has collected a hit in each of his first three games this season.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with a team-high five RBI, a homer and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-1 drubbing of the Mets.

Swanson finished the game a triple short of the cycle. He provided an RBI single in the first inning and knocked in another pair in the third as part of a five-run rally. The shortstop's biggest hit of the night was a fourth-inning two-run home run. He's 5-for-12 (.417) with six RBI and three runs scored through three games this season.

Ahmed went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 4-3 win over San Diego.

Ahmed's ninth-inning walk was the first time he reached base safely this season. Arizona's nine-hole hitter is 0-for-9 through the first three games, a slow start for the shortstop who belted 35 home runs and drove in 152 runs over the last two seasons.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with a home run, triple, four RBI and three runs scored Sunday against the Phillies.

Rojas began his productive day at the dish with a three-run home run in the second inning against Vince Velasquez. He followed that with an RBI triple in the fourth inning before coming around to score. Rojas notched multi-hit performances in all three games against the Phillies, and he will get a few more positive matchups as the Marlins open a series against Baltimore on Monday.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Yankees.

Turner entered the game 0-for-7 on the season but came through with a nice day at the dish. The highlight came in the third inning, when he took Jonathan Loaisiga deep for his first home run of the campaign. He'll look build on this multi-hit performance as the Nationals square off against the Blue Jays in their second series of the season.
