  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Triples, steals base in win

    Swanson went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple, two runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Dodgers.

    Swanson recorded a triple, his first of the campaign, in the first inning to tie the game at 3-3. The veteran shortstop is still off to a slow start in 2025, slashing .180/.231/.360 with four home runs, 13 RBI, 14 runs scored and three stolen bases in 25 games (100 at-bats). However, Swanson entered Tuesday's action with a strong 52.9 percent hard-hit rate and 30.1 percent squared-up rate, per Statcast, so fantasy managers have some reason for optimism moving ahead.

  • Joseph Ortiz SS | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Ortiz is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Giants on Tuesday.

    Ortiz will take a seat after going 1-for-18 with two runs scored over his last five games. Vinny Capra will start at shortstop and bat seventh against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks.

  • Nick Allen SS | ATL

    Braves' Nick Allen: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Allen is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Allen started the previous four games but will take a seat Tuesday after going 1-for-12 with a walk and five strikeouts during that span. Orlando Arcia will step in at shortstop against St. Louis righty Andre Pallante.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Back from injured list

    The Cardinals reinstated Winn (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    The 23-year-old landed on the shelf April 12 due to back spasms, but he's ready to rejoin the Cardinals after a minimum-length stay on the injured list. Winn had a slow start to the campaign with a .603 OPS through 13 contests, though he found his power stroke during a three-game rehab assignment with two homers.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Starting rehab assignment

    Abrams (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday.

    Abrams is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, but the Nationals want him to play at least one rehab game first. Barring any setbacks, Abrams should rejoin the Nats' active roster later this week. He's been out since mid-April with a right hip flexor strain.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Belts two homers

    Lindor went 2-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI and a walk in Monday's win over the Phillies.

    For the second straight day, Lindor popped a leadoff homer to spark the Mets' offense. He then hammered a three-run shot in the seventh inning. The star shortstop had one long ball through 18 games but has since gone deep four times in his last four appearances. Lindor is slashing .284/.340/.500 with 16 runs scored and nine extra-base hits through 100 plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Termarr Johnson: Collects two hits in return

    Johnson (knee) went 2-for-5 with a double and one run scored during Sunday's game against Double-A Somerset.

    Johnson picked up a minor knee injury during Friday's matchup against the Patriots, but it only sidelined the 20-year-old for one game. His quick return to the field is positive news for the organization, which hopes to see the young prospect take another step forward in 2025 after struggling in his brief taste of action at Double-A a season ago.

  • Mason McCoy 2B | SD

    Padres' Mason McCoy: Recalled by San Diego

    The Padres recalled McCoy from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

    The move corresponds with the Padres placing Luis Arraez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list. McCoy wasn't able to crack the Opening Day roster and started the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .328/.425/.522 with two stolen bases, 13 runs scored, one home run and 16 RBI in 81 plate appearances. He appeared in 19 regular-season games (16 starts) for the Padres in 2024, all at shortstop.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Three hits, including homer, in win

    Lindor went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Cardinals.

    Lindor led off the game for the Mets with a solo home run off Sonny Gray in the bottom of the first inning. He added two singles and scored a pair of runs later in the contest. Lindor is now batting .271 with three home runs, nine RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases over 21 games in 2025.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Homers twice in rehab game

    Winn (back) cranked a pair of solo home runs in his second rehab game with Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

    After starting at shortstop in his first rehab game Friday and striking out in all three plate appearances, Winn was in the designated hitter spot Saturday and went deep twice. Recovering from lower-back spasms, Winn remains on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday.
