A. García - RF

CWS

Garcia was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.

Garcia exited Monday's game with a hamstring strain, and although it didn't seem to be overly serious at first, the White Sox will play things safe and send him to the DL anyway. Daniel Palka was recalled from Triple-A to replace him on the active roster.

N/A

M. Zunino - C

SEA

Zunino went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the White Sox on Monday.

Zunino's first round tripper of his injury-shortened campaign opened the scoring on the night for the Mariners, as he blasted a 428-foot shot to left in the fifth that plated Mitch Haniger. The slugging backstop's two hits were his first of the season after he went 0-for-9 over the prior three games. Contact has unsurprisingly been a problem thus far, as Zunino has already struck out seven times over his first 14 plate appearances.

J. Vargas - SP

NYM

Vargas is expected to be activated from the 10-day disabled list Saturday to start the Mets' game in San Diego against the Padres, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Team doctors gave Vargas the green light to make a rehab start Monday at Triple-A Las Vegas, which represented the final hurdle the lefty needed to clear before returning from the DL. Though Vargas wasn't especially impressive Monday -- he needed 66 pitches (42 strikes) to get through four innings and gave up three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four -- pitching in Las Vegas is rarely a picnic for even the most seasoned of hurlers. More importantly, Vargas escaped the outing with no reported issues with his surgically repaired non-throwing hand, so he'll presumably be in line to fill the spot in the Mets rotation vacated by Matt Harvey, who was banished to the bullpen over the weekend following three rough starts in a row.

M. Olson - 1B

OAK

Olson went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

Just as notable as his solid stat line was the fact that Olson snapped a dubious 15-game streak with at least one strikeout. The young slugger picked it up at the plate over the last six games in particular, going 10-for-27 with two doubles, five RBI and four runs during that stretch.

N/A

J. Smolinski - CF

OAK

Smolinski went 1-for-2 with a two-run triple and a run in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

Smolinski added to the Athletics' offensive barrage in the top of the ninth with his first three-bagger of the season, plating Matt Olson and Mark Canha. The reserve outfielder has both of his extra-base hits in the last two games, as well, but his average remains an unsightly .125 over his first 26 plate appearances.

N/A

K. Davis - LF

OAK

Davis went 1-for-3 with a two-run double and two walks in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

The slugger now has 16 of his 17 RBI for April in the last 11 games, a torrid stretch in which he's racked up five multi-hit outings and smacked four home runs. Davis' hot hitting has led to him co-leading the Athletics in home runs (6) with Jed Lowrie and checking in second only to his teammate in RBI (21).

N/A

M. Canha - LF

OAK

Canha went 2-for-4 with a single, RBI double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

Canha's blazing start to the season continues, with Monday's production pushing his average to .351. The 29-year-old has hit safely in seven straight games, a stretch during which he's smacked three doubles, a home run, five RBI, four walks and six runs.

N/A

C. Santana - 1B

PHI

Santana's .151/.301/.288 line through his first 93 plate appearances does not accurately reflect how he's hitting the ball, the Phillies' official site reports.

According to Statcast's expected batting average stat (which uses the Hit Probability of each batted ball), Santana deserves a batting average of .277. The 126-point gap between his actual and expected batting average is easily the largest in the majors, 28 points larger than the next most unlucky player (minimum 50 at-bats). His 51.6-percent hard-hit rate (according to Statcast) is ninth among qualified hitters, yet he's hitting just .233 on hard-hit balls, well below the league average of .512. Santana doesn't really need to do anything new to turn his lousy start around. He's already walking more than he's striking out, so once the batted balls start finding holes in the defense, his numbers should look quite good.
