Bell went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Mets.

Bell got the Bucs on the board with a 406-foot bomb off Robert Gsellman in the second inning. After snapping a 13-game stretch without a home run, Bell now has one in consecutive games. While the 24-year-old will likely continue to struggle with his batting average, Bell remains a good source of power. He ranks 22nd in the National League in AB/HR (16.8).

Flores went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

Flores added an insurance run in the fourth inning when he blasted a Tyler Glasnow curveball over the left field wall for his fifth home run of the season. Since being activated from the disabled list on May 3, Flores is 28-for-76 (.368) with 13 RBI. He's now started five of the last six games, so look to ride his current hot streak.

Joseph went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Saturday against the Giants.

Joseph blasted his ninth homer of the year off Johnny Cueto to tie the game at one in the sixth inning of a home win. With a batting average of just .242, he's primarily a cheap source of homers for fantasy owners.

Bell went 2-for-4 with his 10th home run of the season Friday against the Mets.

Prior to Friday, Bell was batting .128 in his last 47 at-bats. The switch hitter, who has struggled hitting third in the order over the last week, was moved down to fifth following the return of Gregory Polanco. Opponents have had recent success throwing inside on Bell, forcing the 24-year-old to make the necessary adjustments.

Bour went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Bour blasted his 16th bomb of the year in the first inning to give the Marlins a four-run lead in a home victory. He's easily posting the best slugging percentage of his career, which is currently at .589, and he's proving to be an excellent draft-day bargain.

Goldschmidt knocked a two-out, RBI single Thursday against the Marlins and walked during the Diamondbacks' 3-2 win.

Goldschmidt's performance kept his batting average at .303. He has been in somewhat of a week-long slump, recording just six hits in 33 plate appearances, but does have a home run, three doubles and three RBI in that span.

Flores went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's loss to Milwaukee.

Now sporting a .308/.333/.471 slash line, Flores is making the most of his opportunities this season. His lack of a full-time gig caps his fantasy value, but he's still a serviceable option in deeper settings. Additionally, Flores' 1.037 OPS, .326 ISO and .434 wOBA against lefties dating back to 2015 make him a strong option in daily contests when the Mets face a southpaw.

Alonso (undisclosed) is back in action at High-A St. Lucie. He has one hit (a solo home run) and four strikeouts in 19 at-bats since coming off the DL.

The power-hitting first baseman missed six weeks with an undisclosed injury. He has big right-handed power, but will need to show that he can hit for a high average to profile as an everyday player.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-6 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Pirates in 14 innings.

Goldschmidt's solo shot to left center briefly gave the Diamondbacks the lead, but it was an otherwise quiet afternoon for the first baseman. Though he's been one of the top fantasy producers all season, Goldschmidt is in the midst of a relative rough patch at the moment, as he's recorded three hits in 22 at-bats over his last six contests. Still, with his season line sitting at a robust .303/.429/.564, fantasy owners shouldn't even entertain the idea of benching him.

Bour went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Phillies.

After going a whole four games without homering, Bour finished up a huge month in impressive fashion with his 14th and 15th blasts of the year -- 11 of which came in May. He's already matched last year's home run total in 39 fewer games, and the first baseman seems headed directly for a career season.
