Jason Heyward, OF
St. Louis Cardinals
Heyward is hitting .222 with no homers and only two RBIs in eight games. He drew the ire of the Reds for what they called a “dirty” slide at third base on a triple.
Craig Kimbrel, P
San Diego Padres
The closer has three saves in five appearances and has not given up a run. Kimbrel has six strikeouts (one walk) in five innings. His career ERA is down to 1.41.
Dan Uggla, 2B
Washington Nationals
Nationals fans may be feeling the same frustration Braves fans felt. Uggla is hitting .130 with no homers and just one RBI in six games.
Evan Gattis, OF-DH
Houston Astros
He hit his first home run for Houston on Wednesday night, but has fanned 14 times in eight games, eight of the Ks coming in a two-game span. He is hitting just .094.
Justin Upton, OF
San Diego Padres
He’s off to a hot start in San Diego, hitting. 351 with three homers and seven RBIs. His Wednesday homer came off ex-Brave Randall Delgado of Arizona.
Brian McCann, C -1B
New York Yankees
McCann hit his 200th career homer, but he’s batting just .200 this season. He’s already been given three days off through New York’s first nine games.
Tim Hudson, P
San Francisco Giants
He’s 0-1 with a 2.03 ERA because San Francisco has not scored a run while Hudson was on the mound in his two starts.
Jeff Francoeur, OF
Philadelphia Phillies
He has two homers and four RBIs in eight games. Francoeur is hitting .231, but he has only struck out four times in 26 at-bats.
Aaron Harang, P
Philadelphia Phillies
The Braves already miss this starter, who has an 0.73 ERA in two starts (1-1 record) with Philadelphia. He may be a bargain at $5 million.
Jason Marquis, P
Cincinnati Red
He’s got 13 strikeouts in 10 innings, but has a 6.30 ERA after two starts. Marquis is in his 14th season since breaking in with the Braves in 2000.
