  • Phillies' Nick Castellanos: Tallies two doubles Tuesday

    Castellanos went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to Atlanta.

    Castellanos got the Phillies on the board with an RBI single in the first inning, and he drove in his second run of the game in the third frame on a double to center field. The 33-year-old outfielder has started the 2025 season slashing .314/.385/.571 with four walks, three doubles, two home runs and seven RBI across 39 plate appearances.

  • Brad Lord RP | WAS

    Nationals' Brad Lord: Tosses three scoreless innings

    Lord allowed two hits and two walks over three scoreless innings in a no-decision Tuesday. He struck out four during the win over the Dodgers.

    Lord was given the nod in a spot start and turned in a solid appearance. He needed 55 pitches (33 strikes) to get through three frames, but he avoided danger and kept the Dodgers off the board. Lord now owns a 1.80 ERA with a 4:4 K:BB through five innings this season. He's currently lined up to start in Pittsburgh next week.

  • Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Cranks fifth homer

    Schwarber went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and drove in two additional runs in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to Atlanta.

    Schwarber was able to log a rare triple Tuesday -- his first since 2023 and 13th of his major-league career -- which drove in two runs in the third, and on his next at-bat he took Chris Sale deep for a 462-foot moonshot to center field. Schwarber has started the season slashing .324/.444/.811 with six walks, five home runs and 11 RBI across 45 plate appearances.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Crushed for eight runs

    Wrobleski (0-1) yielded eight runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out four and taking a loss against Washington.

    Wrobelski struggled out of the gate, coughing up a two-run homer to James Wood in the first inning. The Nationals plated three runs in the second and three more in the fourth, capped off by another Wood home run. Wrobelski posted a 5.70 ERA over 36.1 MLB innings in 2024. It's unclear if he'll stick with the big club or head back to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Exits early Tuesday

    Tatis was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics due to an apparent injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    The Padres haven't provided any details regarding what kind of injury Tatis is dealing with, but more information will come once they get a chance to evaluate him. The 26-year-old had gone 0-for-2 with a walk prior to his removal in the fifth inning.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Logs four RBI in 2025 debut

    Murphy went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Phillies.

    Murphy started the season on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured rib, but he was activated from the IL on Sunday and made his 2025 debut Tuesday. He didn't show any rust in his first at-bat, cranking a three-run homer off Zack Wheeler to left field in the second inning, and Murphy drove in a fourth run on an RBI single in the sixth frame to reduce Atlanta's deficit to one. Murphy is looking to improve on his 2024 campaign, which he finished with a slash line of .193/.284/.352 with 10 home runs and 25 RBI across 264 plate appearances.

  • Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Earns first save of 2025

    Iglesias secured the save in Tuesday's 7-5 win over Philadelphia, allowing one walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Iglesias' only blemish came on a Bryce Harper walk, but the 35-year-old closer captured his first save of the 2025 campaign after getting Alec Bohm to pop out to third base. It was a nice bounce-back effort for Iglesias after he blew his first save chance against the Dodgers on April 2. He needed 15 pitches to get through Tuesday's game, so he should be available for another save opportunity should it present itself in the next game of the series.

  • Chris Sale SP | ATL

    Braves' Chris Sale: Struggles against Philadelphia

    Sale (0-1) didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Phillies. He allowed five runs on nine hits while striking out five across 4.2 innings.

    Sale gave up three runs in the third inning, and the veteran southpaw allowed a fifth run in the fifth frame on a 462-foot solo homer to center field from Kyle Schwarber. Sale managed to generate 60 strikes on 86 pitches (including 15 whiffs) and has logged 17 strikeouts over his first three starts, but he's also registered a 6.75 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 14.2 innings. He's tentatively slated to face the Rays on the road this weekend, when he'll look to earn his first win of the 2025 campaign.

  • Kyle Freeland SP | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Chased in seventh inning in loss

    Freeland (0-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Brewers, giving up five runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out five in 6.1 innings.

    Milwaukee first got to Freeland in the second inning, touching up the left-hander for four runs courtesy of a Jackson Chourio two-run double and one-run singles by William Contreras single and Sal Frelick. Freeland righted the ship for three scoreless frames afterward, but a Brice Turang home run in the seventh sent the southpaw packing Tuesday. Freeland has now gone at least six innings in each of his first three starts while working to a 3.79 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a pristine 15:0 K:BB across 19 frames, but he'll face a difficult task in San Diego for his next scheduled start over the weekend.

  • Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Strong start continues in first win

    Peralta (1-1) got the win Tuesday against the Rockies after allowing one run on three hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out six.

    Besides a solo homer by Brenton Doyle in the third inning, it was smooth sailing for Peralta, as he gained his first win of the year despite having to work at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Through 18 innings (three starts) to open the campaign, the star right-hander now totes a strong 2.00 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB. On tap for Peralta is another tough draw in Arizona for his next scheduled start this weekend.
