  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Heating up

    Acuna went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

    The star outfielder's RBI double capped a three-run second inning for Atlanta in what ended up being a 13-1 rout. Acuna has a sluggish start to the season, but he's found a groove over the last week or so, batting .323 (10-for-31) over the last seven games with three doubles, a triple, a homer, a steal, three runs and three RBI.

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Remains at DH

    Carroll went 2-for-4 with a walk and a double in Sunday's 4-3 win over Philadelphia.

    Carroll served as the designated hitter for the second straight game since a return from a two-game absence due to a hip flexor injury. It's not clear when Carroll will return to right field, where Jorge Barrosa has filled in for him the last four games.

  • Jake Bauers 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Hits fourth homer

    Bauers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Nationals.

    Bauers has had multiple hits in four of the 14 contests he's appeared in this season, including one Friday against the Nationals. All four of those games featured a home run from the 30-year-old, and Sunday was no different. He was one of three members of the Brewers to take Zack Littell deep, all of the solo variety. With Sunday's performance, Bauers is slashing .239/.300/.522 for the year with 10 RBI in 14 games played.

  • James Wood RF | WAS

    Nationals' James Wood: Smacks homer in win

    Wood went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two runs scored during Sunday's 8-6 win over the Brewers.

    One day after lighting up the Brewers to the tune of four hits and an RBI, Wood followed that up by reaching base three times, including a fourth-inning homer to tie the game at one. It was the 23-year-old's fifth homer of the season and also his 14th RBI, a mark tied for seventh in MLB. His .274/.392/.613 slash line is also evidence of the hot start the young outfielder is enjoying to begin the 2026 campaign.

  • Padres' Ramon Laureano: Blasts another homer

    Laureano went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-2 win over Colorado.

    Laureano went deep for the second straight game, crushing a middle-middle cutter from Valente Bellozo over the left-field fence to extend San Diego's lead in the sixth inning. Amid a slow start for much of the Padres' lineup, Laureano has been highly productive, slashing .268/.339/.536 with four homers, 10 runs, 11 RBI and three stolen bases through 15 games.

  • Tommy Pham DH | CHW

    Mets' Tommy Pham: Expected to be called up Monday

    Pham is expected to be called up to the Mets' major-league roster Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Pham will join the big-league club ahead of New York's three-game set on the road against the Dodgers. The 38-year-old will provide the team with an additional option in the outfield with Juan Soto (calf) still sidelined. Pham signed a minor-league contract with the Mets in late March, so he'll have to be added to the 40-man roster before being called up.

  • Alec Burleson 1B | STL

    Cardinals' Alec Burleson: Homers in loss to Boston

    Burleson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    In the bottom of the eighth, Burleson barreled a 430-foot homer to dead center that left the bat at 111.6 mph. It snapped a 13-game homerless drought for Burleson, who is now slashing .259/.379/.407 with two homers, 11 RBI, seven runs scored, one stolen base and an 11:5 BB:K across 66 plate appearances.

  • Jordan Walker RF | STL

    Cardinals' Jordan Walker: Swats league-leading seventh homer

    Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    In his first at-bat of the afternoon, Walker took Brayan Bello deep to left field for his MLB-leading seventh home run of the season. The ball left the bat at 103.8 mph and traveled 432 feet. He later blistered a single to center field. Hitting the ball as hard as anyone through two-plus weeks of the season, Waker is now slashing .327/.393/.745 with the seven homers, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored, one stolen base and a 6:17 BB:K across 61 plate appearances.

  • Cam Cannarella OF | MIA

    Marlins' Cam Cannarella: Out with fractured wrist

    Cannarella suffered a fractured wrist Saturday while playing for High-A Beloit and is expected to be out for 6-to-8 weeks, FishOnFirst.com reports.

    Cannarella ended up taking on the brunt of a collision in the outfield with a teammate while he was in pursuit of a fly ball and appears likely to be held out of action until at least early June. The 22-year-old was in the midst of a strong start to the Midwest League season, producing a .368/.440/.579 slash line with one home run and one stolen base across 25 plate appearances.

  • Eli White CF | BOS

    Braves' Eli White: Not ready to start

    White (foot) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Though Atlanta has an opening in its outfield after Michael Harris (personal) was placed on the paternity list Saturday, White didn't wind up starting in either of the team's final two games against Cleveland while contending with plantar fasciitis. Mauricio Dubon will end up taking Harris' spot in the outfield for a second straight day.
