Myers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, three walks and four runs scored in Tuesday's 12-6 win over the Rays.

Myers went back-to-back with Ke'Bryan Hayes in the top of the second inning against lefty Steven Matz, as both hitters swatted their first homers of the season. Myers has been seeing regular playing time against left-handed pitching and hit leadoff for the second time this season Tuesday. The 30-year-old is slashing .258/.395/.355 with the one homer, three RBI, seven runs scored, one stolen base and a 6:6 BB:K across 38 plate appearances. Myers has at least one hit in three of his five starts.

Happ went 1-for-4 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Phillies.

Happ reached three times in the win and also mustered his first stolen base of the season in his first attempt. The veteran outfielder doesn't run like he used to, as he only had six steals during the 2025 regular season following 13 swipes in 2024 and 14 in 2023. Happ might not possess the same wheels he used to have, but he's still effective at getting on base, and he's delivered at least 20 home runs in each of the last three years as well. The 31-year-old has also played in at least 150 games for four straight seasons.

Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Phillies.

After a routine day off Monday following seven straight starts, Suzuki returned to the lineup Tuesday and launched his first home run of the season. The outfielder has only played in 11 games so far due to a knee issue that kept him on the injured list to begin the year, but he seems to be rounding into form. Suzuki blasted 32 home runs during the 2025 regular season and posted an .804 OPS, and he should continue to trend upward as he settles in at the plate.

Pages isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

After notching a base hit in three of the Dodgers' last four games in Colorado, Pages will take a seat to begin the team's three-game series against the Giants. Alex Call will fill the void in center field and bat eighth.

The Dodgers optioned Ward to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 28-year-old went 2-for-6 with an RBI during his first two games in the majors, but he'll be sent back to Triple-A now that Freddie Freeman has returned from paternity leave. Ward owns a 1.020 OPS through 81 plate appearances at Oklahoma City this season, but it will be hard for him to secure regular opportunities with the big club.

Carroll (back) will start in right field and bat second Tuesday against the White Sox.

Carroll made an early exit from Sunday's game due to lower-back tightness, but after getting a chance to rest during Arizona's off day Monday, he will return without missing a start. The star outfielder has been phenomenal on offense to begin the year, slashing .300/.390/.600 with three homers, 16 RBI, 15 runs scored and two steals through 20 games.

Chourio (hand) will hit on the field Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

It will be the first time Chourio has hit on the field since he landed on the 10-day injured list before the season following left hamate bone surgery. Chourio should be cleared for a rehab assignment soon if he continues to progress, and the goal remains for the outfielder to rejoin the Brewers' active roster in early May.

Crawford is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

It marks the third time over the Phillies' last four games versus left-handers that the lefty-swinging Crawford has been on the bench. He had been in the lineup for six of his team's first seven games against southpaws. Brandon Marsh will occupy center field Tuesday, while Felix Reyes gets the start in left field.

Reyes will start in left field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's contest versus the Cubs.

Reyes has started against both lefties his team has faced since he was promoted and will get a turn in the cleanup spot Tuesday as the struggling Phillies try something different with their batting order. Brandon Marsh will shift over to center field Tuesday, and Justin Crawford will begin the contest on the bench.

Acuna (hand) is starting in right field and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Nationals.

Acuna exited Monday's contest after being struck in the left hand by a pitch, but he's back in the lineup a day later after X-rays came back negative. The 28-year-old outfielder has a .304/.418/.500 slash line with four doubles, a triple, a homer, two steals, three RBI and nine runs in his past 12 games as he's bounced back from a slow start to the campaign.
