Brian McCann, C
New York Yankees
McCann, who is hitting. 224, has moved on from last season’s home-plate confrontation with the Brewers’ Carlos Gomez. The players hugged on the field before a game last weekend.
Tim Hudson, P
San Francisco Giants
Hudson (4-2, 2.09 ERA) gave up eight hits and two runs in six innings against the Dodgers on Sunday in the only start this season where he’s failed to go at least seven innings.
Martin Prado, 3B
Arizona Diamondbacks
He is still seeking his first home run after 42 games and is on pace for just 49 RBIs. Prado hit .269 in the past week, which actually boosted his average to .247.
Mark Teixeira, 1B
New York Yankees
The former Georgia Tech star had three home runs in the past week and has raised his average to .272 but he’s also been showing signs of fatigue. He leads New York with eight homers.
Adam LaRoche, 1B
Washington Nationals
His strong start to the season (.319 average with 21 RBIs in 32 games) has been interrupted by a stint on the 15-day disabled list because of a right quadriceps injury.
Omar Infante, 2B
Kansas City Royals
The versatile Infante, who has a team-high 19 RBIs in his first season with Kansas City, went on the 15-day disabled list because of lingering back discomfort.
Charlie Morton, P
Pittsburgh Pirates
One of the three players the Braves dealt to acquire outfielder Nate McLouth in a 2009 trade has a respectable 3.22 ERA after eight starts but an 0-5 record.
Kyle Farnsworth, P
New York Mets
He lost his closer’s job and was released. Farnsworth was 0-3 with three saves with the Mets and said his plans are to “hopefully find a team to play against this team.”
David Ross, C
Boston Red Sox
He got a start Thursday and went 1-for-4 but the Bainbridge, Ga., native who hit .289 for the 2010 Braves is hitting just .171 in his 13th season in the majors.
