  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Snaps homerless skid in rout

    Turner went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

    Turner snapped a 24-game homerless skid Wednesday, also registering his sixth multi-hit game in his last nine outings. During this nine-game stretch, the All-Star shortstop has gone a sizzling 18-for-39 (.462) with two doubles, five RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases. Turner is now up to 10 multi-hit efforts on the season.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Getting busy on basepaths

    Abrams went 3-for-6 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Guardians.

    The shortstop is up to eight steals in 10 attempts on the season, but half of those attempts have come in the last five games. Abrams has also reached base in 13 straight contests, giving him more opportunities to use his legs -- during that hot streak he's batting .340 (18-for-53) with five walks and three HBPs. His power stroke, however, has gone quiet. Abrams has yet to hit a home run since returning from a hip issue in late April, and after slugging a career-high 20 homers in 2024, the 24-year-old has gone yard only twice through his first 25 games in 2025.

  • Liover Peguero SS | PIT

    Pirates' Liover Peguero: First start since recall

    Peguero went 1-for-3 against the Cardinals on Tuesday.

    Peguero was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday but had not appeared in a game in any capacity until Tuesday. He's likely to continue to back up Adam Frazier and Jared Triolo at second base and shortstop, respectively.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Scores twice in loss

    Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 14-5 extra-innings loss to the Giants.

    Swanson and Kyle Tucker were the only Cubs with multiple hits as a ninth inning rally ultimately ended in defeat. The Chicago shortstop extended his hitting streak to eight games, during which time he's gone 14-for-30 with three home runs, five RBI and 10 runs scored. Swanson was batting just .181 with a .577 OPS before the recent hot streak, but he's now got more respectable .240 and .732 figures, respectively.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Steals bag in loss

    De La Cruz went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.

    De La Cruz notched multiple hits for the sixth time in his last 12 games, though he has only two extra-base hits and three RBI over that span. He scored the Reds' only run after leading off the eighth with a single and stealing second before eventually coming home. De La Cruz now sits alone in third place in the majors with 14 steals, trailing Oneil Cruz and Luis Robert, who lead with 15.

  • Padres' Jose Iglesias: Sitting again Tuesday

    Iglesias is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Yankees on Tuesday.

    Iglesias is out of the Padres' lineup for a second straight game, with Tyler Wade starting at second base and batting ninth. Iglesias went 3-for-26 over his last eight games, which clouded his nice start to the season when he had a .298 average and .723 OPS in the first 18 games.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Absent from Dodgers' lineup

    Betts is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami.

    It's the first day off for Betts since March 29, when he was still regaining strength following an illness that caused him to lose nearly 20 pounds. Miguel Rojas will occupy shortstop and bat seventh for the Dodgers on Tuesday.

  • Jett Williams SS | MIL

    Mets' Jett Williams: Dialed in for Rumble Ponies

    Williams is hitting .295 with two home runs, six steals, a 9.3 percent walk rate and a 23.3 percent strikeout rate in 21 games for Double-A Binghamton.

    Williams struggled to stay healthy last year, playing 33 total games and 22 games at Double-A, where he hit .172 with zero home runs. His performance this year is much more in line with expectations, as he is putting his 70-grade speed to use on the bases while showcasing his sneaky pop out of a strong 5-foot-7 frame. Williams has started 15 games at shortstop, two games in center field and one game at second base.

  • Konnor Griffin SS | PIT

    Pirates' Konnor Griffin: Power, speed at Single-A

    Griffin is hitting .253 with five home runs, 11 steals, a 5.6 percent walk rate and a 30.8 percent strikeout rate in 23 games for Single-A Bradenton.

    A premium 6-foot-4, 225-pound athlete who has started 15 games at shortstop and four games in center field so far this season, Griffin has essentially performed up to expectations, showcasing plus power, plus-plus speed and a hit tool that needs some work. While his 0.18 BB/K is far from ideal and he's got seven strikeouts in his last four games, Griffin's strengths have overshadowed his weaknesses in the early going.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Returns to Cardinals' lineup

    Winn (ankle) will start at shortstop and bat second in Tuesday's game versus the Pirates.

    Winn departed the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets with a mild left ankle sprain and didn't play in the series opener against Pittsburgh on Monday. However, he's ready to roll now and is back in the No. 2 spot in the batting order, where he's been situated for most of the past week.
