  • Pirates' Alexander Canario: Smacks first homer

    Canario went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Reds.

    Canario was responsible for Pittsburgh's lone run off Andrew Abbott -- he led off the fifth inning with a 402-blast off the left-hander to center field, cutting the Pirates' deficit to 4-1. The home run was just Canario's second hit in seven games this year. The 24-year-old outfielder has displayed impressive power in the minor leagues, hitting 37 home runs across three levels in 2022, but he has yet to get an extended run in the majors.

  • Graham Pauley 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Graham Pauley: Sitting versus southpaw

    Pauley is not in Miami's starting lineup against Washington on Sunday.

    The lefty-hitting Pauley will retreat to the dugout with the Nationals sending southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the mound. Javier Sanoja will start at the hot corner and bat eighth. Pauley has gone 5-for-32 with one walk, two runs scored and two RBI since the beginning of April.

  • Liam Hicks C | TB

    Marlins' Liam Hicks: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Hicks is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Nationals on Sunday.

    With the Nationals sending southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the mound, Hicks will retreat to the dugout while Rob Brantly catches and bats ninth. The lefty-hitting Hicks had gone 1-for-6 with two runs scored over the first two games of the series.

  • Gage Workman 3B | SD

    Cubs' Gage Workman: Collects MLB firsts in rout

    Workman went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 16-0 win over the Dodgers. He also stole a base.

    Workman didn't enter the contest until the sixth inning, but he still managed to rattle off two hits, which were his first at the MLB level. The 25-year-old also recorded his first MLB stolen base and RBI. Workman isn't seeing consistent playing time as a utility option for the Cubs, so he's mostly off the fantasy radar for now, but an injury to a Chicago starter could give him an opportunity to better showcase his abilities.

  • Matt Mervis 1B | WAS

    Marlins' Matt Mervis: Idle versus lefty

    Mervis is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Nationals on Sunday.

    Mervis has smacked home runs in back-to-back outings, but he'll begin Sunday's game in the dugout with the Nationals sending southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the mound. Eric Wagaman will shift over to first base while Jonah Bride serves as the designated hitter for Sunday's series finale.

  • Kyle Tucker RF | LAD

    Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Stays hot Saturday

    Tucker went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 16-0 win over the Dodgers.

    Tucker was right in the middle of Chicago's offensive explosion, and the talented outfielder tallied his fourth multi-hit effort over his last six games. The 28-year-old has fit in nicely with the Cubs, as he now has an absurd 1.108 OPS to go along with five home runs, 18 RBI and 18 runs scored across 17 contests.

  • Thomas Saggese SS | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Saggese is not in the Cardinals' starting lineup against the Phillies on Sunday.

    Saggese will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout, with Brendan Donovan shifting over to shortstop and Nolan Gorman getting the start at second base. Saggese is expected to see more regular work at shortstop while Masyn Winn (back) is on the 10-day injured list. Saggese has gone 8-for-17 with one home run and four RBI since his promotion.

  • Ian Happ LF | CHC

    Cubs' Ian Happ: Records three hits in big win

    Happ went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 16-0 win over the Dodgers.

    Happ was one of six Chicago players will multiple hits as the Cubs cruised to a stunning road victory over the defending World Series champions. The veteran outfielder came into the night batting just .194, raising his average 28 points with the performance. Happ has batted below .250 each of the last two seasons, so he shouldn't be expected to climb too much more in that category, but he typically offsets that with his on-base skills and power production.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Sitting Sunday

    Pages is not in the Cardinals' starting lineup against the Phillies on Sunday.

    Pages has started the Cardinals' last four games and has gone 4-for-15 with one run scored and one RBI over that span. He'll be rested Sunday while Yohel Pozo starts behind home plate and bats eighth against Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Resting Sunday

    Trevino is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Pirates on Sunday.

    Trevino went 1-for-6 with one RBI over the first two games of the series. He'll be rested for the series finale as Austin Wynns serves behind home plate and bats ninth against Pirates right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski.
