Bader went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.

Bader's blast tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth inning. The outfielder exited the game for pinch hitter Drew Gilbert in the seventh, which is likely part of the plan to help Bader ease back in after a month-long absence due to a hamstring strain. Bader is batting .136 with two homers, four RBI, five runs scored and no stolen bases over 62 plate appearances this season. He's likely to handle a starting role in center field, but if he can't dig out of his early slump, the right-handed-hitting Bader could cede some at-bats to the left-handed Gilbert, at least against right-handed pitchers.

Andujar went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two total RBI in a loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.

Andujar collected both of the Padres' extra-base hits -- a solo homer in the sixth inning and a run-scoring double in the eighth. The performance was a needed turnaround for Andujar, who had gone 1-for-15 over his previous four contests. He's been working as San Diego's primary DH, starting 10 of the team's past 11 games at that position.

Springer went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Rays.

Springer has his average back over the Mendoza Line with the multi-hit night, his second in his last three contests and just his third since returning from the injured list April 29. Springer is slashing just .209/.287/.330 with two home runs, eight RBI, seven runs scored, one stolen base and a 9:20 BB:K across 102 plate appearances this season. After a career-best season in 2025, Springer was always a regression candidate at 36 years old, but his .128 ISO entering Tuesday was easily the lowest of his career. His BABIP is more than 100 points lower than last season.

Yelich went 0-for-4 in a 6-4 win against San Diego on Tuesday.

Yelich returned from a one-month absence necessitated by a strained left groin and worked as the Brewers' DH, slotting in third in the batting order. The veteran slugger looked rusty in his return, striking out twice while going hitless in four plate appearances. Nonetheless, Yelich is likely to be a lineup regular now that he's healthy again.

DeLuca went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

DeLuca doubled home a run off lefty starter Patrick Corbin in the first inning and doubled again off struggling reliever Jeff Hoffman in the seventh. He later singled and stole his sixth base of the season in the top of the ninth. DeLuca now has three multi-hit games in his last 10 appearances and is slashing .280/.316/.441 with two home runs, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored, six stolen bases and a 5:19 BB:K across 99 plate appearances this season.

Vilade went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo homer and a walk in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

With lefty Patrick Corbin making the start for Toronto, Vilade hit cleanup and made the start in left field. Vilade doubled off Corbin in the fifth before taking struggling reliever Jeff Hoffman deep in the seventh. It was Vilade's first multi-hit game of May after he recorded just three hits in 21 at-bats this month entering Tuesday. Vilade is 13-for-42 (.310) against left-handed pitching this season and is slashing .281/.339/.439 with two homers, 10 RBI, six runs scored, one stolen base and a 5:12 BB:K across 63 trips to the plate in total during the 2026 campaign.

Canzone went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a sacrifice fly in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Astros.

Canzone set a career high with five RBI in this contest. He hit the grand slam in the fourth inning to blow the game open for the Mariners, and he added the sac fly as icing in the ninth. This may be the jump start he needs to get back on track -- even with this effort, he's just 3-for-19 with a 3:6 BB:K over 10 games in May. For the season, he's hitting .256 with a .797 OPS, four homers, 18 RBI, 12 runs scored, seven doubles and a stolen base over 97 plate appearances. Canzone is handling a platoon role as the Mariners' preferred designated hitter against right-handed pitchers, though he could fill in as a corner outfielder if injuries pile up.

Ewing went 1-for-2 with a triple, three walks, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Tigers.

Ewing made an immediate impact in his MLB debut, reaching base four times while recording his first career hit on an RBI triple in the seventh inning. He also swiped his first stolen base in the sixth and consistently showed mature plate discipline throughout the night with three walks. The 21-year-old entered the majors red-hot after slashing .339/.447/.514 across 30 games between Double-A and Triple-A, and his skills appeared to translate seamlessly to the big leagues in his debut performance.

Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and one walk in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox.

Schwarber took Jovani Moran deep on a middle-middle 92 mph fastball in the top of the first inning. He's now homered in five straight games and leads the league with 17 long balls. Despite the 17 homers, Schwarber has just 28 RBI to go with 29 runs scored, a 27:59 BB:K and a .229/.356/.611 slash line across 188 trips to the plate. Most of the rest of the Philadelphia offense has struggled to find its rhythm 42 games into the season.

Arozarena went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run, two doubles, a hit-by-pitch, three total RBI, one stolen base and four runs scored in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Astros.

Arozarena filled up the box score from the No. 5 spot in the order. He hit the homer in the second inning before continuing an impressive performance throughout the game. Arozarena has hit safely in his last six contests, going 12-for-23 (.522) in that span, though all of his knocks over the previous five games were singles. For the season, the outfielder is batting .303 with an .854 OPS, four homers, 16 RBI, 31 runs scored, 11 doubles and 10 stolen bases across 43 games.
