Johnston went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

The Rockies mustered only six hits as a team in a pitcher's duel this Wednesday, but Johnston got two of them from the leadoff spot and also drove the team's first run with a single to left field in the top of the eighth inning. Johnston is enjoying a strong start to the season, going hitting .333 with a .933 OPS through his first 16 plate appearances.

Freeman went 1-for-1 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Freeman was activated from the injured list before Wednesday's game, though he wasn't in the starting lineup. He entered the contest as a pinch hitter in the 10th inning and drove in the game-winning run with a single. Freeman figures to occupy a utility role while only earning sporadic plate appearances.

McCarthy stole a base and scored a run in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

McCarthy was out of the lineup for the first time this season, but he entered the game in the eighth inning as a pinch runner. He immediately swiped second base and then came around to score the tying run. McCarthy is now 4-for-4 on the basepaths despite collecting only two hits across 19 at-bats to begin the campaign.

Gonzales went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Reds.

Gonzales has been in the lineup for all six games early in the season, though he was moved up the order to hit second Tuesday. Both of his knocks came late in the game, highlighted by a two-RBI single in the ninth inning. Gonzales has been solid to start the campaign, collecting at least one hit in five of six contests while driving in five and scoring four runs.

Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Reds.

Reynolds began the season 3-for-18 with eight strikeouts across four starts, but he's quickly turned things around. He took Emilio Pagan yard in the ninth inning to provide some insurance runs to the Pirates, his second homer in as many games. Reynolds has started all six games and hit third in Pittsburgh's order.

Pages went 3-for-3 with a double in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Guardians.

Pages did his part from the No. 8 spot in the lineup, but he accounted for more than half of the Dodgers' five hits. Many of the team's regulars have gotten off to slow starts so far, but Pages is already locked in at the plate, batting .429 (9-for-21) with a home run, five RBI, one run scored and no stolen bases over six contests. He should continue to see the vast majority of the playing time in center field, especially if he keeps his strikeouts down -- he's struck out just twice in 21 plate appearances so far.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Guardians.

Freeman has had a slow start to the season, going 5-for-24 (.208) over his first six games. He's logged an extra-base hit in two of his last four contests, including his ninth-inning homer Wednesday to keep the Dodgers from getting shut out. The first baseman has added three RBI. The slow start among the Dodgers' top hitters is a little concerning, but the defending champions should be fine in the long run, and Freeman's move down to the cleanup spot versus right-handed pitchers should benefit his run production this year.

Yamamoto (1-1) allowed two runs on four hits, a walk and a hit-by-pitch while striking out two over six innings to take the loss versus the Guardians on Wednesday.

Yamamoto was outdueled by Gavin Williams, who struck out 10 over seven scoreless innings. Yamamoto's missteps came in the third inning, as Daniel Schneemann doubled, stole third and scored on an errant throw before Gabriel Arias went yard for a solo home run. This was still a second straight quality start for Yamamoto, who has allowed four runs on nine hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over 12 innings in his first two outings of the season. The star right-hander allowed just 14 home runs over 173.2 regular-season innings across 30 starts last season, so he should be able to get that under control after giving up a long ball in each of his starts in 2026. The Dodgers are using a six-man rotation for the week ahead, but with extra rest built in for Shohei Ohtani, Yamamoto is tentatively projected to make his next start in Toronto.

Garcia went 2-for-5 with a walk in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Washington.

Garcia appears to have lost out on the cleanup job to Alec Bohm to begin his Phillies career, but he's still occupying a spot in the heart of the lineup. He's hit sixth in four games and fifth in two contests so far, and Garcia is doing his part to remain worthy of moving up the batting order. The right fielder is batting .318 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI and one walk over his first 22 at-bats.

Carroll went 2-for-3 with a home run and a walk in a 1-0 win against the Tigers on Wednesday.

Carroll's homer was particularly impressive, coming off Tigers ace Tarik Skubal to bring home the game's only run in the opening frame. Over his first 25 plate appearances, the All-Star outfielder is slashing .333/.400/.762 with two long balls, one double, one triple and eight RBI. Carroll has hit safely in five of his six contests as well.
