The triple on a grounder down the first-base line was the only extra-base hit either team had today. After a nice start, Smith had slumped the last couple of weeks, but he still seems locked into regular at-bats for the foreseeable future. He’s back up to .311/.386/.478 after this.

It wasn’t entirely a given that Carter would be the choice to replace Leody Taveras, what with the desire to keep getting Josh Smith regular at-bats and Carter not really thriving in Triple-A. Carter did turn it on during the second half of last month, but his overall line stands at .221/.333/.416 in 90 plate appearances. He offers mixed-league potential, but he doesn’t seem worth an immediate pickup.

The 26-year-old outfielder can continue to play for the Rangers while on waivers. If he’s claimed, the team that claims him would have to assume the remainder of his $4.75 million salary for the 2025 season, which would be roughly $3.9 million. If he goes unclaimed, he would have the option to forfeit his remaining salary and elect free agency, or report to Triple-A Round Rock. Taveras has slashed just .241/.259/.342 in 79 at-bats for the Rangers this season with one home run, eight RBI and six stolen bases.

The 28-year-old slugger opened the scoring in the ballgame with a 426-foot (108.5 mph EV) two-run shot off of Dustin May in the home half of the first inning. He then repeated the exercise in the third inning with a 416-foot (108.0 mph EV) two-run bomb that increased the Braves’ lead to 4-0. That would be all of the support that Bryce Elder and company would require. Riley finished the night 2-for-4 and is now hitting .292/.336/.511 with eight long balls and 24 RBI on the young season.

Hayes is now up to .254/.311/.311 on the season while hitting in the middle of the order for the Pirates almost every day. There has been no power to speak of, but he does continue to try and run ,which can help him create some fantasy value in deeper formats.
