Tatis went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base in a 5-0 win against Atlanta on Sunday.

Tatis extended his campaign-opening hitting streak to four games Sunday, and he's collected multiple knocks in two of those contests. The star outfielder also stole his third bag of the season, which is tied for second in the majors in the early going. Tatis had a bit of a down year last season with 21 homers and 11 thefts over 102 regular-season games, but he's capable of putting up MVP-level numbers and is off to a fast start to begin 2025.

Hays (calf) is showing improvement but is not expected to return from the 10-day injured list until at least April 11, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. "It's not necessarily fair to him to put a timetable, but I think the goal is when we come back from San Francisco," manager Terry Francona said Sunday.

Hays sustained a calf injury late in spring training and is eligible to come off the IL on April 3, when Cincinnati begins a seven-game trip to Milwaukee and San Francisco. The Reds will have to play without the outfielder longer than originally expected. Gavin Lux has filled in for Hays in left field the first three games of the season.

Realmuto (foot) is expected to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener against Colorado, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Realmuto fouled a pitch off his foot in Saturday's game against the Nationals and was out of the lineup in Sunday's series finale due to a left foot contusion, but he's likely to be back in action after catching a breather. Through nine at-bats this season, the star backstop has one hit (a triple) and two RBI.

McLain batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Giants.

McLain moved up a spot in the batting order with TJ Friedl getting a day off against a left-hander. McLain hit the second of back-to-back home runs in the sixth inning, when the Reds scored all three of their runs. Other than that, the Cincinnati bats were quiet. The homer was McLain's second in as many days.

Naylor went 2-for-2 with three walks, a double, an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.

Naylor delivered the game-winning knock with an eighth-inning double as part of an eight-run rally. The Diamondbacks haven't missed Christian Walker's production at first base yet; Naylor has hit in all four games thus far, going 6-for-15 with two doubles, three RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base.

Puk allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.

It wasn't a save situation for Puk, who made his season debut in the top of the ninth inning after the Diamondbacks took the lead an inning earlier, courtesy of an eight-run rally. Nothing has changed with respect to Arizona's closer situation. Manager Torey Lovullo still hasn't named one and will continue to trot out Puk and Justin Martinez for late-game, high-leverage situations.

Pages went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Twins.

Pages doubled and scored a run on Victor Scott's three-run homer in the second inning before hammering a three-run shot of his own in the third. It was Pages' first appearance of the 2025 season, as he looks to carve out a role behind Ivan Herrera, who went 4-for-7 with two doubles in his first two games. Pages posted a .657 OPS through 218 plate appearances as a rookie in 2024.

Perdomo batted second and went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.

The Diamondbacks appeared headed for a third loss in the four-game series against the Cubs, but they erupted for eight runs in the eighth inning to erase a 6-2 deficit. Perdomo started the fun with a double up the alley in right-center to plate two runs. The shortstop has hit safely in all four games to start the season and has five RBI. He normally hits down the order but was moved up to second with Corbin Carroll not in Sunday's starting lineup.

Scott went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Minnesota.

Scott put the Cardinals on the board with a three-run shot in the second inning and later stole second base after reaching on a fielder's choice. The 24-year-old outfielder struggled to the tune of a .502 OPS through 155 MLB plate appearances as a rookie in 2024. He played his way onto the Opening Day roster with a 1.172 OPS in spring training and has already shown some flashes to start the 2025 campaign with three stolen bases and a home run through three games.

Pallante (1-0) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings against the Twins on Sunday. He struck out three and earned the win.

Pallante gave up one run through three frames before serving up a solo shot to Willi Castro in the fourth inning. By that point, the Cardinals had already given Pallante a heavy cushion by scoring eight runs in the first three innings. He tossed 46 of 78 pitches for strikes and forced 13 whiffs, including seven with his fastball, which averaged 95.2 mph. Pallante is currently in line to start in Boston next weekend.
