  • Snags third steal
    Springer went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Yankees.

    Advice: The 34-year-old outfielder stole a career-high 20 bases in 2023, and he's off and running again to begin the current campaign. Springer has three steals in three attempts so far, with all three coming in the last six games. While his .215 batting average (14-for-65) is disappointing, his 11:10 BB:K suggests it's a product of bad luck, not a bad approach at the plate. Springer's added two homers, four RBI and nine runs in 17 games as Toronto's leadoff hitter. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Sits Monday with illness
    Rodgers was scratched from the lineup ahead of Monday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Phillies due to an illness, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: An explanation behind Rodgers' late scratch wasn't immediately provided leading up to the opening pitch, but the Rockies later relayed that the 27-year-old took part in a pregame workout and was held out after feeling under the weather. Alan Trejo picked up the start at second base in Rodgers' stead, going 1-for-3 at the dish. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Gets rare start Monday
    Guillorme went 1-for-3 in Monday's win over the Astros.

    Advice: Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth, the veteran utility player saw his first plate appearances of the season and recorded his first hit. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker doesn't tend to give his starters many rest days, so Guillorme's playing time figures to be limited all season, but he could see additional action this week after Ozzie Albies (toe) was seen limping in the locker room after Monday's contest.

  • Extends homer streak to five
    Busch went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Monday in the Cubs' 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Busch's leadoff blast off Merrill Kelly in the top of the sixth inning extended his home-run streak to five games, tying four other Cubs players for the longest streak in franchise history. Notably, all five of Busch's home runs during the streak have come at road venues, which offers hope that the rookie's power surge can continue once the weather warms up at Wrigley Field, which has been a fertile hitting environment for left-handed batters in recent years. Managers that took a chance on Busch in the later rounds of drafts are relishing in the early returns, as he's provided a .327 average, six home runs, 12 RBI and nine runs through 16 games.

  • Sitting out Tuesday
    Keith is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Rangers.

    Advice: It's the first day off against a right-hander this season for Keith, who had started each of the previous nine games. Zach McKinstry will occupy second base Tuesday. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago

  • Getting day off
    Canha is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: It looks to be a routine day off for the veteran outfielder. With Canha getting some rest, Riley Greene will be in left field and Wenceel Perez will handle right. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago

  • Making noise at Triple-A
    Martinez is slashing .340/.421/.580 through 13 games for Triple-A Gwinnett with two homers and seven steals in nine attempts.

    Advice: The 28-year-old has also shown improved command of the strike zone with a 5:8 BB:K. Martinez fell short in his bid for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he looks more than ready to step in should an injury hit the Atlanta outfield. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Could sit out with sore toe
    Albies might be held out of Tuesday's lineup after being hit on the toe by a pitch Monday in Houston, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Albies finished Monday's game but was limping noticeably after the contest and had his foot examined. While he looks to have avoided a serious injury, Albies' status for Tuesday will be determined when he gets to the ballpark and is checked out. If Albies is not able to go Tuesday, Luis Guillorme would likely fill in at second base. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
     
  • Taking batting practice
    Ibanez (hamstring) took batting practice at Comerica Park on Monday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: It's the first time he's taken batting practice on the field since he suffered a left hamstring strain a little over a week ago. Ibanez will head to extended spring training this weekend to continue his rehab before rejoining the Tigers early next week. It's possible he could be activated at that time, although the team has not yet made that determination. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
