Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Uninjured in car accident
Winn was involved in a single-car accident in St. Louis on Wednesday but did not suffer serious injuries, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
The Cardinals released a statement saying Winn's accident was caused by wet pavement. He was examined at a nearby hospital before being sent home. The incident occurred shortly after Winn delivered a walk-off RBI single in the Cardinals' extra-innings win over the Mets. St. Louis is idle Thursday before opening a road trip in Detroit on Friday. The club will re-evaluate Winn prior to Friday's contest before determining his availability. It's been a rough start to the season offensively for Winn, who is 4-for-25 with one stolen base and a 2:5 BB:K in his first 27 plate appearances.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Ropes homer in loss
Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Orioles.
Seager's eighth-inning shot, which traveled 422 feet to right center, was his second homer in as many days and and third of the season. He's also walked five times (.429 OBP) and reached base safely in all six games played.

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Launches first homer of season
Abrams went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.
Abrams went yard for the first time this season in the top of the seventh inning, and his blast gave the Nats a transitory 5-1 lead they'd later blow. Abrams has hit safely in his last three games, going 4-for-14 with a homer, four RBI, four runs scored and a walk in that stretch.

Otto Lopez SS | MIA
Marlins' Otto Lopez: Goes yard, scores three runs
Lopez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple, a walk and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.
Lopez went yard for the first time this season off reliever Jordan Leasure, and he'd previously smacked a triple off Chris Murphy. Lopez went 0-for-3 on Opening Day, but he's hit safely in his subsequent five games. During this hitting streak, the shortstop has gone 7-for-19 with a home run, a triple, a double, two RBI, five runs scored, a stolen base and a 2:1 K:BB.

Bobby Witt SS | KC
Royals' Bobby Witt: Logs second steal
Witt went 1-for-3 with one RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 13-9 win over the Twins.
Witt is off to a steady start to 2026, batting .278 (5-for-18) with two RBI, two steals and one run scored. He's still looking for his first extra-base hit, but he did get the ball up by driving in a run with a sacrifice fly Wednesday. Witt's 23-homer showing last year was his worst in three MLB seasons, but he still had an .852 OPS. Fantasy managers can afford to be patient with Witt until he starts hitting for more power, especially if he continues to be an elite contributor with his speed.

Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Leaves yard in win
Arias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.
Arias has had a slow start to the season, but he was able to take Yoshinobu Yamamoto deep in the third inning Wednesday for his first extra-base hit of the year. Arias has racked up nine strikeouts and just one walk over 20 plate appearances so far, which contributes to him hitting a meager .105 (2-for-19). Despite the struggles, he's holding down a regular role at shortstop for now, but he will need to do better with the bat to maintain his playing time.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Astros' Carlos Correa: Launches three-run homer
Correa went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox.
Correa put the Astros ahead for good Wednesday with a two-out, three-run homer off Garrett Crochet in the fifth inning for his first long ball this season. Correa's gotten off to a nice start this year, going 8-for-25 with seven RBI in his first seven games while splitting time between shortstop and third base. The veteran infielder slashed .276/.332/.402 with 13 homers and 52 RBI across 144 games between Houston and Minnesota last year.

Matt Shaw RF | CHC
Cubs' Matt Shaw: Tallies two hits, two RBI in win
Shaw went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Angels.
Shaw has started four of Chicago's first six games of the season in right field, with Michael Conforto also working into the mix. The former delivered his first multi-hit effort of the year Wednesday, and he should continue to see regular time in right until Seiya Suzuki (knee) is able to return. When Suzuki does come back, Shaw may shift into more of a super-utility role for the Cubs due to his ability to play the infield.

Angel Martinez LF | CLE
Guardians' Angel Martinez: Playing time trending up
Martinez will start in right field and bat second in Wednesday's contest versus the Dodgers.
Martinez was out of the lineup for the first two games and three of the first four tilts of the season, but since then he's started three in a row and four of five contests. The switch hitter is 3-for-13 with one stolen base and a 0:5 BB:K in the early going this season.

Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Limited to short-side platoon
Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Rojas received the start at second base on Opening Day, but he's been on the bench for the Dodgers' other three games against right-handed pitchers so far this season. The veteran infielder's other two starts have come versus lefties, with the switch-hitting Alex Freeland seemingly settling into the strong side of a platoon at the keystone.
