Bauers went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

Bauers got his day started with a two-run shot to center field in the first inning to extend the Brewers' lead to 4-0. He's now plated half his runs for the season in his last five games and owns a .358 on-base percentage in 55 plate appearances.

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.

Friedl went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.

Friedl worked multiple walks for just the second time this season. He also swiped his third bag in his last five games, bringing him up to eight for the season. Friedl had only nine steals in 85 games last year after totaling 27 the year before. He's currently on pace to set a new career high in that category.

Kershaw (toe/knee) threw six scoreless and hitless innings for the Dodgers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday. He walked one batter and struck out four.

Kershaw's previous rehab outing was with Triple-A Oklahoma City, but he pitched in Arizona on Tuesday and predictably dominated against a slew of teenage hitters. The future Hall of Famer has appeared in four minor-league rehab games to date, allowing a total of four runs over 17 innings while posting a 14:3 K:BB. Kershaw said before beginning his rehab assignment that his elbow was doing well but that his surgically repaired toe was further behind, though manager Dave Roberts has since said that the southpaw has felt better after each minor-league outing, per Sonja Chen of MLB.com. Kershaw isn't eligible to come off the 60-day IL until May 18, so he'll likely pitch in at least one more minor-league game before making his return to the big club.

Moreno didn't play in Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left side soreness, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Scratching Moreno from the lineup before Tuesday's contest was originally reported to be a managerial decision, but it now appears Moreno is dealing with an injury that stems from a play at the plate Monday. The team is labelling him as day-to-day for now, and Jose Herrera will start at catcher for any additional games Moreno misses.

Quantrill came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Dodgers, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six.

After getting tagged for 15 runs in 12.2 innings over his prior three starts, Quantrill bounced back in impressive fashion. The right-hander didn't allow a runner to get into scoring position after the first inning, leaving the mound after tossing 53 of 79 pitches for strikes. He'll carry a 7.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB through 31.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the Cubs.

Abbott tossed five scoreless innings while allowing four hits and no walks Tuesday against Atlanta. He struck out eight and did not factor into the decision.

Abbott was excellent once again and continued what's been a strong start to his delayed debut this season. Outside of a poor start in Colorado, Abbott has only allowed two earned runs in 20 innings, and Tuesday was his first outing of the season with no walks. He now sits at a 2.25 ERA and 1.17 WHIP through five starts and will aim to keep rolling this weekend against the Astros.

Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Marlins.

It's the fourth time in the last 10 games that Ohtani has gone yard, a stretch in which the 30-year-old superstar is batting .385 (15-for-39) with a blistering 11 extra-base hits, including five doubles and two triples. On the season, he boasts a .296/.399/.607 slash line with 10 homers, 10 steals, 15 RBI and 38 runs in 34 contests.

Gonsolin didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Marlins, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out eight.

The right-hander blanked Miami for four innings before Liam Hicks touched him up for a two-run homer in the fifth. Gonsolin generated a whopping 18 swinging strikes among his 82 pitches (49 total strikes), and he's produced an eye-popping 17:2 K:BB through 11 innings in his first two starts of 2025 -- although both starts did come against the Marlins. Gonsolin will face a somewhat tougher test in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the A's.

Iglesias (2-2) got the win Tuesday after tossing a perfect inning while striking out two against the Reds.

Iglesias was tasked with stranding the ghost runner in the 10th and did so with ease, retiring the side on just seven pitches. Atlanta went on to walk it off in the bottom of the frame, leaving Iglesias victorious. He's now posted four consecutive scoreless outings with an 8:0 K:BB over that span but sits tied for 15th with six saves thus far.
