  • Jarren Duran CF | BOS

    Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Steals base, scores in loss

    Duran went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Reds. He was also hit by a pitch.

    Duran has reached base four times through the first two games of the season and stolen a base in each contest. He's off to a quick start and looking to record a fourth consecutive season with 20-plus steals; Duran's stolen 82 bags (97 attempts) over the previous three seasons. He's served as a DH thus far, as Boston manager Alex Cora looks find playing time for five outfielders.

  • Ian Happ LF | CHC

    Cubs' Ian Happ: Goes deep Saturday

    Happ went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Nationals.

    Happ batted third and connected for his first home run of the season in the sixth inning with two runners on. The veteran outfielder blasted 23 long balls during the regular season last year, and he's hit 20 or more bombs in four of the last five seasons while playing in at least 148 games each year. Happ should continue to serve as an offensive catalyst for the Cubs batting near the top of the order all season.

  • Dane Myers CF | CIN

    Reds' Dane Myers: Plays hero Saturday

    Myers went 1-for-1 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Red Sox.

    Myers played the hero with a walk-off RBI-single in the bottom of the 11th inning. He entered the game in the ninth inning as a defensive substitution to protect a 5-4 lead but was needed for extras when Emilio Pagan blew the save. Myers has appeared in both games thus far, having served as a pinch hitter for Will Benson against a left-hander late in the Opening Day loss.

  • Corbin Carroll LF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Playing field regularly

    Carroll went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    Carroll, who was in right field for all three games in the series, was largely limited to DH duties in spring training after his return from February wrist surgery. He had just 21 plate appearances (19 at-bats) during a shortened Cactus League, so there may be early struggles while Carroll gets his timing down. He's 2-for-11 with two singles and two strikeouts through three contests.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Remains red-hot

    Raley went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run Saturday in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

    Raley didn't start the contest, but he was summoned off the bench in the 10th inning. The veteran hitter came through with a two-run blast to center field to bring the Guardians within a run of tying the score. Raley has exactly one hit in each of his first three games this season, and each of his knocks has left the park. He already has three long balls and five RBI across nine plate appearances in 2026 after managing just four home runs and 19 runs batted iover 219 plate appearances last season.

  • Chase DeLauter RF | CLE

    Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Launches another long ball

    DeLauter went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners on Saturday.

    DeLauter looked like he could be stymied for the first time this season when he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts over his first four plate appearances. However, the eye-opening rookie saved his best for last, belting a two-run homer off All-Star reliever Andres Munoz in the 10th inning for what ended up being the decisive hit. DeLauter has now homered in the first three regular-season games of his career, and he's the early league leader with four home runs to go along with his .357/.357/1.214 slash line.

  • Brenton Doyle CF | COL

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Swipes first bag of 2026

    Doyle went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Marlins.

    Doyle didn't have a remarkable day at the plate, and he's now 0-for-7 in his first two games of the season. However, he did manage a free pass in the second inning, and he also went on to steal second base -- his first swiped bag of the campaign. Doyle has hit seventh for each of Colorado's first two contests, though he does appear to have an everyday role.

  • Jake Meyers CF | HOU

    Astros' Jake Meyers: Busy performance in win

    Meyers went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-9 win over the Angels.

    Meyers did a little bit of everything Saturday, showing off both power and speed with his first extra-base hit and steal of the year. The 29-year-old has close to an everyday role in center field in store for 2026, but the right-handed-hitting Meyers hasn't turned in an OPS higher than .727 in any of his prior four seasons and may struggle for consistent fantasy value.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Three-hit effort in win

    Yelich went 3-for-5 with one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Saturday' 6-1 win over the White Sox.

    Yelich got the scoring started with an RBI single in the first inning and added his first stolen base in the second. The 34-year-old has started hot, going 5-for-9 with three runs scored through two games. He slashed .264/.343/.452 with 103 RBI in a strong 2025 campaign and looks poised to be a key contributor in the heart of the Brewers' order again this season.

  • Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Posts two steals in win

    Mitchell went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, one run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.

    Mitchell made an impact from the outset, tallying a two-run single in the first inning and recording his first multi-steal game since last April. The 27-year-old has started each of the Brewers' first two games, reaching base multiple times in both. While durability has long been a concern, he's off to a strong start as the team's center fielder.
