Tatsuya Imai struggled in his return, allowing six runs over four innings in a loss to the Mariners, with a grand slam by Dominic Canzone highlighting a poor outing.
Imai's return didn't quite go so well. After a scoreless first inning, he gave up a two-run homer to Randy Arozarena in the second. He then stranded two runners in the third before loading the bases in the fourth with no outs on two hit batters and a walk. Dominic Canzone made him pay with a grand slam. Imai would finish out the inning and end his day at 80 pitches. The 28-year-old right-hander now holds a 9.24 ERA, 2.05 WHIP, and a 16/14 K/BB ratio across 12 2/3 innings. He'll take on the Twins in Minnesota on Monday.

Cal Raleigh went 2-for-4 with three runs scored and snapped a 36 at-bat hitless streak against the Astros.
Raleigh came into this one hitless over his last 36 at-bats, the longest active streak in baseball. He drew a walk and scored a run in the second inning, then later knocked a base hit in the seventh to snap the streak. Raleigh did it again for good measure in the ninth, collecting his second hit and scoring a third run.

Ryan Vilade went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a home run against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.
Ryan Vilade went 2-for-4 with a walk, double, and home run against the Blue Jays, hitting his second home run of the season.
Vilade's home run off Jeff Hoffman in the seventh inning put the Rays up 5-0. It was his second home run of the season. Vilade should still see most of his at-bats against left-handed pitching, a strategy that optimizes his skills but ultimately severely limits his fantasy value.
Performance
George Springer went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI against the Rays on Tuesday.
George Springer went 2-for-5 with two runs and an RBI against the Rays, but continues to struggle with a .209 average and disappointing production this season.
Springer has dealt with multiple injuries already this season and his production hasn't been close to repeating last year. The 36-year-old outfielder is hitting just .209 with seven runs, two home runs, eight RBI and one stolen base. Tuesday was a step in the right direction with two hits, but Springer has unequivocally been a tremendous bust so far.
Performance
Erick Fedde worked five innings and allowed two runs Tuesday against the Royals.
Erick Fedde pitched five innings with two runs allowed against the Royals but remains winless at 0-4 despite a solid ERA.
Fedde left with a 5-2 lead that was blown right away by Tyler Schweitzer and Grant Taylor in the sixth. As a result, Fedde remains 0-4 in spite of a solid 3.66 ERA. He's still a weak bet for fantasy purposes with his 26 strikeouts and 10 homers allowed in 43 innings. Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez took him deep tonight. He'll make his next start Sunday against the Cubs.
Performance
Derek Hill delivered a tiebreaking pinch-hit homer off Matt Strahm in the bottom of the eighth in the White Sox's 6-5 takedown of the Royals on Tuesday.
Derek Hill hit a tiebreaking pinch-hit homer to lead the White Sox to a 6-5 victory over the Royals, extending his strong performance against left-handed pitchers this season.
Hill's 417-foot homer to center was his longest batted ball since he hit 432- and 420-foot homers at Coors Field on Aug. 29, 2024. He's gone 11-for-44 with three homers and four steals while starting strictly against lefties this season. He's played in 31 games and taken 50 plate appearances.

Performance
Dillon Dingler went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run against the Mets on Tuesday.

Dingler's home run was his seventh of the year. The 27-year-old catcher took Freddy Peralta deep for a solo shot in the second inning. Despite a .234 average this year, Dingler has been an excellent hitting catcher with seven home runs and 27 RBI.
Performance
Matt Strahm gave up a go-ahead homer in the eighth to take a loss Tuesday against the White Sox.
Matt Strahm took a loss against the White Sox after giving up a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning, and his early-season statistics show struggles with a 3.20 ERA through 15 2/3 innings.
Derek Hill hit the homer. Strahm has allowed three homers and seven runs in 15 2/3 innings to begin the year. At this point, Daniel Lynch IV probably should be ahead of him in line for saves if something happens to Lucas Erceg.
Performance
Stephen Kolek surrendered five runs in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday in a no-decision against the White Sox.
Stephen Kolek allowed five runs in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the White Sox, with the Royals ultimately losing 6-5.
All five runs scored in the fifth, when Drew Romo and Chase Meidroth hit 35x-foot homers off him. Romo's was a homer in 17 ballparks, while Meidroth's would have left only eight. Kolek departed down by three runs, but the Royals came back to let him off the hook in the sixth before ultimately losing 6-5. This is a definite setback for Kolek's chances of sticking around over Noah Cameron after Cole Ragans comes off the IL, but he should get one more chance to impress Sunday against the Cardinals.
Performance
Bryan Hudson notched his second save with a perfect ninth against the Royals on Tuesday.
Bryan Hudson recorded his second save with a perfect ninth inning against the Royals, improving his impressive 0.90 ERA.
The White Sox decided to use Seranthony Dominguez in the eighth in a tie game tonight. After they took a 6-5 lead in the bottom of the eighth, Hudson faced Bobby Witt Jr., Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez in the ninth and retired them all, but things might have gone somewhat differently if Derek Hill hadn't made a sliding catch on Witt's liner to right to start the inning. Hudson, who has pitched in 21 of the White Sox's 41 games, has a 0.90 ERA and a 22/9 K/BB in 20 innings. It'll be interesting to see if that workload starts to catch up to him at some point.

Jack Flaherty allowed three runs in 3 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Mets on Tuesday.
Jack Flaherty took a loss against the Mets, allowing three runs in 3 2/3 innings while his ERA continues to climb to 5.73 with poor control and hittability.
Flaherty gave up six hits, walked three and struck out two. He fell to 0-4 with the loss. Whatever magic Flaherty had in 2024 when he was a worthwhile contributor to both the Tigers and Dodgers is gone. His ERA went from 3.17 to 4.64 in 2025 and now it's 5.73. He's walked 29 batters in 37 2/3 innings and been too hittable when he does throw it over the plate. Flaherty's lined up to face the Blue Jays on Sunday, but can't be trusted in fantasy leagues at the moment.

A.J. Ewing went 1-for-2 with three walks, a triple, two runs, two RBI and a stolen base against the Tigers on Tuesday.
A.J. Ewing went 1-for-2 with three walks, a triple, two runs, two RBI and a stolen base in his impressive debut performance against the Tigers.
Ewing is looking at everyday at-bats with the Mets dealing with injuries in the outfield. He made a good impression on Tuesday as he was on base four times in the win over the Tigers. In the seventh inning, he had a moment he'll never forget when he roped a line drive to right field for a triple for his first MLB hit. It traveled at 104 mph exit velocity. Ewing had only two home runs in the minor leagues, but can still provide value with a good average and speed.
Ankle Sprain · Day-to-Day
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Brandon Nimmo is day-to-day after X-rays came back negative on his right ankle.
Brandon Nimmo is day-to-day with a sprained right ankle after X-rays came back negative, with a chance he avoids the injured list.
Schumaker added that Nimmo is dealing with a sprained ankle but didn't suffer any fractures. It sounds like there's a chance he avoids the injured list, but the Rangers are probably going to give him a couple days off to rest and recover. The 33-year-old veteran outfielder was 3-for-4 with a run scored before spraining his ankle on a close play at first base during the sixth inning of Tuesday's game against Arizona. There should be an update on his status prior to Wednesday's showdown.

Ezequiel Duran made it three with a solo blast in the fourth. Gallen ran into more trouble in the fifth. Texas brought two more runs in before he was relieved with two runners on and two outs in the frame. Both inherited runners would come in to score. The 30-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 5.23 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and a 29/14 K/BB ratio across 43 innings. He'll look to bounce back against the Giants in Arizona on Monday.

Bradley was able to play catch from a distance of 90 feet as he resumed throwing for the first time since hitting the injured list with pectoral inflammation over the weekend.

Alex Bregman hit a solo home run for the Cubs' only hit in a loss to the Braves, showing improved hard-hit ball metrics.
Bregman took Grant Holmes deep in the fourth. It was one of three balls hit at least 100 mph for him tonight, so that's encouraging from a struggling hitter. He did enter the night with a fine 45 percent hard-hit rate, but about half of those hard-hit balls came in at 95-99 mph. He'd hit balls at least 100 mph 23.6 percent of the time.

He threw a mere 36 pitches tonight, so he should be ready to pitch again by Friday.
Performance
Grant Holmes was lifted after allowing two runs in four innings Tuesday against the Cubs.
Grant Holmes was lifted after allowing two runs on one hit and three walks in four innings against the Cubs.
Holmes gave up just one hit, an Alex Bregman homer with one out in the fourth. However, he lost the strike zone immediately afterwards, walking the next three batters he faced. The last two of those were on four pitches. Moises Ballesteros probably could have worked a walk, too, but he ended up hitting an RBI groundout instead, and Dansby Swanson then struck out after failing to challenge a 1-0 slider that would have been overturned into a ball. Holmes threw 39 pitches in the fourth, so he wasn't brought back out for the fifth. That worked out nicely anyway, as Didier Fuentes hadn't pitched in six days and was ready to go long. As it turned out, that homer Holmes surrendered was the only Cubs' only hit of the game in the Braves' 5-2 win. Holmes will face the Red Sox on Sunday.

Yastrzemski hit ninth tonight and was pulled after the Cubs brought in a lefty to replace Colin Rea, but he made the most of his two plate appearances.

O'Neill showed some signs of life with an RBI double off Will Warren in the sixth inning, though it came on a ball Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham ultimately could've caught. It was just O'Neill's second extra-base hit this season in 60 at-bats. The Orioles signed him through the 2027 season, so O'Neill will be given some kind of leash, but he could be phased out if he doesn't start hitting soon.
Hamstring · Rehab Assignment
Heston Kjerstad (hamstring) went 2-for-4 with a double on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Norfolk.
Heston Kjerstad went 2-for-4 with a double in a Triple-A rehab game as he recovers from a hamstring strain and works toward returning to the Baltimore Orioles.
Kjerstad will presumably get a chance to join Baltimore's outfield mix at some point later this month. He's eligible to return from the 60-day injured list next week. The 27-year-old former top prospect has been on the shelf recovering from a hamstring strain since spring training.
Hamate Fracture - Right Wrist · Rehab Assignment
Jackson Holliday (hand) went 0-for-4 on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Norfolk.
Jackson Holliday went 0-for-4 in his fourth minor league rehab game for Triple-A Norfolk as he continues his recovery from hamate fracture surgery on his right wrist.
Holliday played six innings at third base in his fourth contest since restarting a minor league rehab assignment last week. The 22-year-old struck out twice in this one and has gone hitless in 10 at-bats over those four games. Not great. He's been out all season working his way back from surgery to repair a hamate fracture in his right wrist.

Trevor Rogers allowed six runs in four innings and took the loss against the Yankees, continuing his struggles after returning from an illness.
Rogers had a bad first month of the season with a 4.75 ERA before missing two starts with an illness. In his return to the Orioles' rotation, he gave up six runs to the Yankees. The big blows were a leadoff home run by Paul Goldschmidt and a three-run home run by Trent Grisham that capped a five-run third inning. Rogers is lined up to face the Rays on the road on Monday, giving him a two-start week next week.

Jake Meyers began a minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi, playing the full game in center field as he works his way back from a hamstring strain.
Meyers played the entire game in center field as he kicked off a rehab assignment in the upper minors. The 29-year-old center fielder is working his way back from a hamstring strain that sent him to the injured list back in early April.

Jeremy Pena (hamstring) went 1-for-2 with a double on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game for Double-A Corpus Christi.
Jeremy Pena is progressing through a minor league rehab assignment for his hamstring strain, going 1-for-2 with a double in his rehab debut for Double-A Corpus Christi.
It was an eventful rehab debut for Pena as he doubled in his first at-bat of the contest before being upended on a scary-looking play at second base a couple frames later. He was lifted from the contest after being hit by a pitch in the sixth inning, but appeared to be fine afterwards. The 28-year-old shortstop has been snake-bitten by injuries this season, missing time with a fractured finger and hamstring strain already. He'll get a couple more rehab games under his belt before returning to Houston's lineup later this week.

Bryson Stott went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a steal against the Red Sox on Tuesday.
Bryson Stott went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a steal against the Red Sox, continuing to show value in the Phillies' lineup.
The Red Sox used a lefty opener tonight, but Stott was in there anyway. He might have started even against a traditional lefty, as the Phillies are taking a look at Edmundo Sosa in the outfield. Sosa has to play somewhere against lefties, but if he can handle left just fine, the Phillies are probably better off with Stott at second and Brandon Marsh in center than with Sosa at second, Justin Crawford in center and Stott on the bench. Stott is batting .256 with three homers, four doubles, 11 RBI and three steals in 11 games this month.

Kyle Schwarber hit his league-best 17th homer and walked Tuesday against the Red Sox.
Kyle Schwarber hit his league-leading 17th home run and walked against the Red Sox, extending his five-game homer streak and moving up the all-time home run list.
Schwarber has homered in five straight games and even collected two on Sunday. After going deep 56 times last year, he's currently on pace to hit 65-66 this year. The homer tonight was his 357th, moving him past Joey Votto for 97th place on the all-time list. Yogi Berra and Carlos Lee are next at 358.
Performance
Brayan Bello allowed one run over 6 1/3 innings after coming in to start the second inning Tuesday against the Phillies.
Brayan Bello delivered a strong pitching performance, allowing one run over 6 1/3 innings against the Phillies with five strikeouts and one walk.
Bello entered down 1-0 and left down 2-1 in the seventh, so he wasn't involved in the decision. Still, it was maybe his best performance of the year, as he struck out five and walked one. He'll definitely make at least one more start Sunday against the Braves before a potential Garrett Crochet return causes the Red Sox to rethink their rotation.

Jhoan Duran worked a scoreless ninth with a one-run lead Tuesday in a save against the Red Sox.
Jhoan Duran earned his first save since returning from the injured list, pitching a scoreless ninth inning against the Red Sox.

Zack Wheeler pitched 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball, striking out four, to get the victory as the Phillies edged the Red Sox 2-1 on Tuesday.
Zack Wheeler pitched 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball with four strikeouts to earn the victory as the Phillies defeated the Red Sox 2-1.
Wheeler caught quite a break in the seventh, as Wilyer Abreu's blast to left was caught just in front of the 380-foot mark at Fenway Park. It would have been a homer in 29 parks, says Statcast. Wheeler's first few innings tonight were truly remarkable; aided by a pair of double plays, he threw only six pitches in the first, six in the second and four in the third. He came in at 87 pitches in all, and though he allowed 11 hard-hit balls, he didn't give up any extra-base hits. He's 2-0 with a 2.55 ERA after four starts, and he's due to face the Pirates in a matchup against Paul Skenes on Sunday.

Josh Hader (biceps) fired a scoreless inning on Tuesday in a minor league rehab appearance for Double-A Corpus Christi.
Josh Hader threw a scoreless inning in a minor league rehab appearance for Double-A Corpus Christi as he works his way back from a biceps injury.
There's no Statcast date from this latest appearance, but Hader notched one strikeout and threw 11 of 16 pitches for strikes. The 32-year-old elite stopper appears to be inching closer to returning to Houston's bullpen but is probably going to need another couple rehab outings.
Performance
Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run against the Orioles on Tuesday.
Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run against the Orioles, hitting his fourth home run of the season.
Goldschmidt hit his fourth home run of season in the first inning against Trevor Rogers. The 38-year-old first baseman is excelling in a platoon role as three of his four home runs have come against left-handed pitching. He should see more at-bats against right-handed pitching with Giancarlo Stanton out as long as he continues producing. Goldschmidt has a pulse in AL-Only leagues now.

He managed to stay in the contest initially before being lifted for a pinch-runner a couple batters later. He was 3-for-4 with a run scored prior to departing. He'll undergo further evaluation to determine the severity of the issue. There should be an update on his status following the contest.
Performance
Trent Grisham went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run against the Orioles on Tuesday.
Trent Grisham hit a three-run home run against the Orioles, his sixth of the season, helping the Yankees to a 6-0 lead.
Grisham's home run was his sixth of the season. He hit a three-run shot off Trevor Rogers in the third inning to put the Yankees up 6-0. Grisham is still hitting a paltry .178, but is solid in the other categories with 25 runs scored and 26 RBI.

The 24-year-old backstop left the contest following a sixth-inning at-bat where he appeared to be in serious discomfort following a swing. He finished 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored and was replaced by Luis Torrens behind the plate. It's too early to draw any conclusions, but it certainly seems like a trip to the injured list is a potential outcome.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Shohei Ohtani will be out of the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Giants.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that Shohei Ohtani will sit out Thursday's series finale against the Giants, with the team considering having him pitch exclusively on Wednesday.
Roberts added that they're leaning towards having Ohtani pitch exclusively on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium but they haven't made a final decision yet. The 31-year-old generational talent has been mired in an uncharacteristic tailspin at the plate recently, hitting just .193 (11-for-57) with one home run and four steals over his last 15 games. He's far too talented to continue struggling, but it's possible that the tremendous two-way workload he's shouldering is leading to some fatigue that's adversely impacting his performance at the plate. The encouraging news here is that Ohtani seems to be completely fine from a physical standpoint. Hopefully the extra time off serves as a mental reset and helps get him back on track.

Bryce Eldridge is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
Bryce Eldridge is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers after being called up from Triple-A Sacramento last week.
Eldridge has had to split time with Rafael Devers and Casey Schmitt since coming up from Triple-A Sacramento last week. With their season trending in the wrong direction, it feels inevitable that the Giants are going to turn the cold corner over to their top prospect on a full-time basis at some point in the near future.
Finger Fracture · 10-Day IL
Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters he expects Jose Caballero (finger) to remain the club's starting shortstop once he returns from the injured list.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone expects Jose Caballero to return from the injured list soon after suffering a fractured middle finger, with no tendon or ligament damage reported.
Boone added that Caballero isn't dealing with any tendon or ligament damage and could be back as early as next week after hitting the shelf earlier on Tuesday with a fractured middle finger on his right hand. It sounds like there's optimism it'll be a minimum stay on the injured list for the 29-year-old speedster with Anthony Volpe heading back to the minors after a brief stay with the Yankees.

Forearm Strain · Unknown
Wyatt Langford (forearm) remains shut down from swinging a bat.
Wyatt Langford remains sidelined with a right forearm strain and has not yet been cleared to swing a bat or throw, with an uncertain return timeline despite his optimism.
Langford told reporters he's optimistic he can return in two or three weeks, which would be prior to the end of May. That seems a bit unlikely since he hasn't been cleared to swing a bat or throw yet. The 24-year-old fantasy standout has been on the shelf recovering from a right forearm strain since April 22. There should be a clearer return timetable at some point in the coming weeks, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect a return anytime soon.

The Rangers appear to be in a bit of a holding pattern with Eovaldi after Schumaker didn't have much of an update for reporters prior to Tuesday's contest. The 36-year-old veteran was scratched from Monday's start against the Diamondbacks with left side discomfort. It doesn't appear that he's headed to the injured list, but the Rangers haven't divulged when they think he'll be ready to take the ball again. There should be greater clarity on his status at some point later this week once he resumes throwing.

Tatis remains in search of his first home run of the season heading into his 40th game of the season during Tuesday's series opener in Milwaukee. However, he's going to make his 10th appearance at the keystone already this season, which has significant fantasy ramifications moving forward since he'll gain eligibility in most leagues at one of the scarcest position groups in the game.

The 25-year-old was considered one of the better catching prospects in the game just a couple years ago before elbow issues derailed him.

Casey Mize progressed to facing hitters in live batting practice as he continues his recovery from an adductor strain.
It's a significant development as Mize continues to work his way back from an adductor strain that put him on the shelf back on April 29. The 29-year-old righty, who posted a solid 2.90 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 35/11 K/BB ratio across 31 innings prior to the injury, could potentially skip a minor league rehab assignment before jumping back into Detroit's rotation, but that's not a guarantee.
Elbow - Impingement · Rehab Assignment
Cole Ragans (elbow) played catch for the second straight day on Tuesday.
Cole Ragans is progressing through his recovery from an elbow impingement, playing catch for the second consecutive day with plans to continue before advancing to bullpen sessions.
Royals manager Matt Quatratro told reporters Ragans is going to play catch again on Wednesday before they determine his next steps. The 28-year-old upper-echelon fantasy starter hit the shelf with an elbow impingement last Friday. There's a chance he's cleared to rejoin Kansas City's rotation relatively quickly if he's able to progress to throwing bullpen sessions without any setbacks.

The Padres released outfielder Alex Verdugo after he was diagnosed with a shoulder injury requiring season-ending surgery.

It makes sense since he's been out of game action for nearly an entire month. There's a chance he's ready to return to Houston at some point later this week, but fantasy managers shouldn't count on it.

The 28-year-old center fielder hit the shelf with a herniated disc in his back on April 30. It'll be rookies Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing playing regularly alongside generational talent Juan Soto in New York's outfield for the foreseeable future. It's a considerable lift to Ewing's immediate fantasy outlook since it appears he's been brought to the majors to play everyday. He offers enough batting average and stolen base appeal to be an impactful contributor in deeper mixed leagues.
Finger Fracture · 15-Day IL
Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters Sean Murphy (finger) is likely to miss eight weeks.
Braves catcher Sean Murphy suffered a fractured left middle finger and is expected to miss approximately eight weeks, sidelined until after the All-Star break.
Murphy hit the injured list prior to Tuesday's series opener against the Cubs with a fractured left middle finger. The 31-year-old, who missed nearly six weeks to open the year recovering from offseason hip surgery, will likely be sidelined until after the All-Star break in mid-July. It'll be journeyman Sandy Leon taking his roster spot as Drake Baldwin's primary caddy during his absence.

Waldschmidt came up just shy of launching his first major-league homer when he tattooed a 412-foot fly ball to center field during Monday's series opener at cavernous Globe Life Field. The 23-year-old top prospect remains at the bottom of Arizona's lineup for the fourth time in five games since being called up from Triple-A Reno last week.

He was also 4-for-4 overall stealing bases in 18 minor league games since returning from shoulder surgery. Although he's not starting tonight because he's in transit to the ballpark, he should be the regular shortstop while Jose Caballero is out, making him worth picking up in mixed leagues. If he excels, the Yankees could turn Caballero into a utilityman once he returns.

He also started at second base for the second time on Sunday. If he emerges as a true full-timer and gains second base eligibility, he might have a little something to offer in mixed leagues.

There wasn't much doubt that Friedl would be back in center tonight, but the Reds could have maybe dropped him in the lineup with him hitting just .185/.267/.274. Still, as poor as that is, it's not like the team has much in the way of alternatives, aside from maybe just going with Elly De La Cruz and Sal Stewart first and second, rather than third and fourth.

The Mets are experimenting with their batting order, moving Carson Benge to leadoff and dropping Juan Soto to third as they search for a winning lineup combination.
A.J. Ewing debuts in the eighth spot. The Mets are just trying to find any combination that works. Soto had led off six games in a row after hitting second previously. Bo Bichette, who was leading off when Soto was hitting second, remains in the second spot for now. Benge had a brief three-game run in the leadoff spot last month, but this is his first time hitting higher than fifth since Apr. 19.

Tyler Freeman is playing right field and batting fifth against the Pirates on Tuesday.
Tyler Freeman is getting increased playing time for the Rockies against righties and has shown solid performance with a .280 average and 22 stolen bases over the past year.
Freeman did plenty of sitting against righties for the first month of the season, but he's now started four of the last five times the Rockies have faced them. He also started at second base for the second time on Sunday. If he emerges as a true full-timer and gains second base eligibility, he might have a little something to offer in mixed leagues. Since the beginning of last year, he's hit .280 and stole 22 bases in 521 plate appearances.

TJ Friedl is back in the leadoff spot on Tuesday after sitting against a right-hander for the first time this season on Sunday.
TJ Friedl returns to the leadoff spot and center field for the Reds despite struggling at the plate with a .185 batting average.
There wasn't much doubt that Friedl would be back in center tonight, but the Reds could have maybe dropped him in the lineup with him hitting just .185/.267/.274. Still, as poor as that is, it's not like the team has much in the way of alternatives, aside from maybe just going with Elly De La Cruz and Sal Stewart first and second, rather than third and fourth. But that's not Terry Francona's style. The Reds have been giving Noelvi Marte more time in center in Triple-A of late, so Friedl might need to get things going soon.

Roki Sasaki allowed three runs in five innings against the Giants but was not involved in the decision, and the Dodgers are struggling to support him with a 2-5 record in his starts.
Three runs in five innings seems to be the Sasaki standard. If the Dodgers were hitting like they did last year, that'd be good enough to get him some wins. Right now, though, he's 1-3 and the Dodgers are 2-5 when he pitches. He might be Triple-A bound when Tyler Glasnow returns, but he's due to get another start Sunday against the Angels before that happens.
Performance
Keaton Winn settled for a hold after pitching a scoreless eighth against the Dodgers on Monday.
Keaton Winn earned a hold after pitching a scoreless eighth inning against the Dodgers, with the Giants scoring three runs in the ninth to extend their lead.
Winn might have been left in to go for the two-inning save if the Giants didn't score three runs in the top of the ninth, taking their lead from three runs to six. JT Brubaker went on to finish from there. Winn also threw a quick seven-pitch inning on Sunday, so the Giants will probably want to avoid him on Tuesday. Caleb Kilian should be the favorite for the save then.

Rafael Devers went 2-for-3 with a homer and two walks, scoring three runs as the Giants defeated the Dodgers 9-3.
Devers homered on a splitter that Roki Sasaki left up on the zone. It was his third homer in five games, bringing his season total to five in 168 plate appearances. It's the first time this year that he's scored three runs. He's totaled seven runs scored in his last five games after touching home plate just nine times in his first 36 games.
Performance
Isaac Paredes went 3-for-4 and drove in Houston's lone run Monday against the Mariners.
Isaac Paredes went 3-for-4 with an RBI against the Mariners and is positioned to take over third base duties for Houston with Carlos Correa out for the season.
With Carlos Correa out for the season, Paredes figures to have third base all to himself in Houston the rest of the way, making him a perfectly fine option as a third baseman or corner infielder in mixed leagues. He's hitting .271 with three homers right now, and the home run pace still figures to pick up.
Performance
Cal Raleigh finished 0-for-4 against the Astros on Monday, dropping his average to .157.
Cal Raleigh went 0-for-4 against the Astros, dropping his batting average to .157, the second-lowest among qualified players.
Things will eventually turn around for Raleigh, but it sure does seem likely that his 2026 production is going to be a lot more in line with what he did in 2023 and '24 than his near-MVP season in 2025. Among qualified players, only Cedric Mullins, at .143, has a lower batting average right now.
Performance
Peter Lambert lost to the Mariners after allowing three runs in seven innings Monday.
Peter Lambert delivered a quality start with six strikeouts over seven innings against the Mariners but lost the game, though his fastball velocity has been trending downward throughout the season.
Lambert's latest quality start featured six strikeouts and one walk, but it's a little concerning that his velocity was down; he averaged 93.5 mph with his fastball, 1.2 mph off his season average. He'd already gone from 95.3 and 95.1 mph in his first two starts to 94.3 and 94.4 mph in his previous two starts, so this is looking like a trend. He's not a bad play this weekend against the Rangers, but this doesn't really seem like the time to go pick him up.
Performance
Andres Munoz earned his eighth save with a scoreless ninth Monday against the Astros.
Andres Munoz earned his eighth save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning against the Astros, striking out Yordan Alvarez to end the game.
Munoz gave up three straight hard-hit balls to begin the inning, but only one turned into a hit, and he then struck out Yordan Alvarez to end the game. As per usual, it's been bend-but-not-break for Munoz this season. He has a 5.63 ERA, but he's 8-for-10 saving games, and he picked up a win after one of the two blown saves.
Performance
George Kirby pitched five innings of one-run ball Monday in the Mariners' 3-1 defeat of the Astros.
George Kirby pitched five innings of one-run ball in the Mariners' 3-1 victory over the Astros, improving to 5-2 with a 2.84 ERA.
The Mariners prevailed tonight even though they were outhit nine to seven and outwalked three to one. Kirby struck out seven and walked two in moving to 5-2. His strikeout rate is down some, but he's more than countered it by generating more grounders, and he'll take a 2.84 ERA into his next start against the Padres.

Back in the lineup after two days off to work on his swing, Jake Burger went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Monday against the D-backs.
Jake Burger returned to the lineup after two days off but went 0-for-3 with a strikeout, continuing his poor offensive performance with a .204 batting average and league-worst .260 OBP among qualified hitters.
Burger did get to first base on a forceout in the eighth, only to be immediately removed for a pinch-runner. He's at .204/.238/.355 for the season. He has a .260 OBP since the beginning of 2025, which is the worst mark in the league for anyone with at least 400 plate appearances.

Waldschmidt's 412-foot fly to center in the third would have been a homer in 18 ballparks, but it was an out at Globe Life field. Waldschmidt is now 3-for-11 since joining the Diamondbacks. He went without a strikeout tonight after fanning four times in his first eight at-bats.
Performance
Paul Sewald worked a hitless ninth with a one-run lead for his ninth save Monday against the Rangers.

He plunked Corey Seager with two outs, but he retired the other three batters he faced. Sewald has delivered five straight scoreless appearances since giving up three runs to the White Sox on Apr. 23. He'll eventually face challenges from A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez in the ninth, but the closer's role in Arizona is all his for now.
