Pena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Rangers.

Pena made things interesting in the ninth inning with a 454-foot blast off Jacob Latz, his first homer this season, cutting Houston's deficit to 10-7. The home run was also Pena's first extra-base hit in eight games since he returned from a month-long IL stint. After batting .304 with 17 homers, 20 steals and an .840 OPS across 125 games in 2025, the 28-year-old Pena is slashing .247/.309/.342 with five RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases across 81 plate appearances this year.

Betts went 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's 15-6 win over the Rockies.

Betts was in the cleanup spot for the first time this season for this contest after going 4-for-29 (.138) over his previous seven games. The move paid off, as he teed up a pair of homers, including a two-run blast in the first inning to start the scoring in this rout. Betts is up to six homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases while batting .190 with a .679 OPS across 21 contests this season.

Adames went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

This was Adames' fifth straight game batting leadoff. He's gone 6-for-22 (.273) with four extra-base hits in that span, and it looks like a change that could stick -- he's been atop the order against three southpaws and two right-handers in that span. The veteran shortstop is now batting .239 with a .691 OPS, seven homers, 18 RBI, 26 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 54 contests this season.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.

Bogaerts has logged four steals over his last eight games despite going 4-for-28 (.143) in that span. The shortstop's strong April has given way to a shaky May -- he's been held hitless 12 times in 23 contests this month, batting just .203 in that span. For the season, he's hitting .245 with a .685 OPS, seven home runs, nine steals, 24 RBI and 22 runs scored over 52 games.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

Turner had gone 0-for-16 with one walk and six strikeouts over his previous four games. He snapped out of the slump in his second at-bat Tuesday, hitting a solo shot off Randy Vasquez in the third inning. Turner later picked up a steal, his 10th of the season in 11 attempts. The shortstop is batting .225 with a .626 OPS, six home runs, 17 RBI, 33 runs scored and nine doubles over 54 contests this season. He's hitting just .189 (18-for-95) in May.

Volpe went 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, three total runs and two total RBI in a 15-1 win against Kansas City on Tuesday.

Volpe was one of nine Yankees with multiple hits in an overwhelming offensive attack by New York. The shortstop clubbed a solo homer in his first plate appearance and added an RBI single his next time up. Tuesday marked his second straight start following a two-game stint on the bench. Since making his season debut May 13, Volpe has slashed .281/.425/.469 with six runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases through 10 contests.

De La Cruz went 2-for-5 with a two-run double during the Reds' 7-2 win over the Mets on Tuesday.

De La Cruz was one of six Reds batters to log at least two hits during Tuesday's win, and he extended his team's lead to 5-0 after smacking a two-run double off David Peterson in the fourth inning. De La Cruz is slashing .287/.340/.457 with one steal, 13 RBI and 11 extra-base hits (including two home runs) across 103 plate appearances in May.

McGonigle went 3-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Angels.

While Detroit has been struggling recently, McGonigle remains a bright spot. The rookie infielder is now riding a five-game hitting streak and has at least one hit in nine of his last 10 contests. Overall, McGonigle is slashing a robust .291/.395/.427 across 53 games, and it looks like the Tigers have found a reliable leadoff hitter and offensive weapon for years to come.

Ortiz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Though he'll head to the bench Tuesday, Ortiz may have recaptured a regular role on the left side of the Milwaukee infield. He occupied shortstop in each of the last five games, going just 2-for-14 but drawing four walks during that stretch. Ortiz will take a seat in favor of Luis Rengifo, who will enter the starting nine at third base while David Hamilton slides over to shortstop.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Following his return from the injured list Friday, Caballero started in each of the Yankees' ensuing three games, going 3-for-11 with an RBI. The Yankees are likely to continue deploying Caballero as their primary shortstop, but he'll hit the bench Tuesday while manager Aaron Boone opens up the position for Anthony Volpe.
