Candelario went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

His fourth-inning solo shot off Alex Faedo got the Nationals on the board, and Candelario then wrapped up the scoring in the eighth with an RBI double. The switch-hitting third baseman is on fire right now, reeling off five multi-hit performances in the last six games with four doubles, a triple and two homers among his 12 hits. The surge has boosted Candelario's slash line on the season up to .253/.310/.447.

Farmer went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Farmer has logged multiple hits in four of his last six contests, and he's driven in at least one run in five of those games. The 32-year-old continues to hit well, with his latest strong game lifting his season slash line to .319/.377/.478 with three home runs, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored and two doubles through 77 plate appearances.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss against Tampa Bay.

Anderson took Rays starter Zach Eflin yard in the fourth inning to bring Willy Adames around to score and bring the Brewers to within one run of Tampa Bay. However, Milwaukee would allow five unanswered runs over the next three innings and eventually fell to the Rays 8-4. Through 43 games, Anderson owns a .236/.327/.426 slash line with seven home runs and 24 RBI. After not hitting a home run between April 24 and May 15, Anderson now has two over his past four games.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

Suarez has homered twice in the last five games and now has five long balls on the year. He provided the Mariners' last runs of the contest Saturday. The third baseman has hit at least 31 homers in each of the last four full-length seasons, but he's a bit behind the pace in 2023. He's slashing .231/.330/.349 with 25 RBI, 19 runs scored, a stolen base and five doubles through 45 games.

Segura will sit Saturday against San Francisco, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Segura owns an awful .509 OPS on the season, but he's started to show signs of life over the past week, grabbing seven hits across a five-game stretch before going hitless Friday. He'll get a rest Saturday, with Jon Berti starting at third base.

Hayes went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Hayes hit fifth in the order against right-handed pitching for the third consecutive game, though he responded with his third multi-RBI game of the season. Even after collecting two doubles, he's slugging just .309 since the beginning of May, spanning 15 games and 55 at-bats. As has been the case for much of his big-league career, most of Hayes' fantasy value comes from scoring runs and stealing bases.

Madrigal went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-1 win over the Phillies.

Madrigal was solid from the No. 9 spot as the Cubs got production up and down the lineup. He started at third base in this one, and Chicago should continue to work in both Madrigal and Patrick Wisdom at the hot corner, while Christopher Morel could be an option there as well. The crowded situation puts a cap on Madrigal's fantasy upside, though he's a capable performer when he starts.

Devers went 2-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Padres.

Devers homered in back-to-back innings, going yard in the second and third. The infielder's first long ball put Boston up 1-0, while the second one drove in three runs, extending the lead to 6-0. The 26-year-old now has 13 homers on the year, tied for fourth in MLB.

Peraza (ankle) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list by the Yankees on Friday and optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Peraza will continue to get playing time in Triple-A, but it will no longer be on a rehab assignment. The infielder has a good chance of helping New York at some point this summer, and he'll get more regular playing time while in the International League than he would while a member of the Yankees.

Lewis (knee) homered twice for Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Lewis has now homered three times in three games since having his rehab assignment moved to Triple-A, and he's slashing .500/.500/1.250 over his first five rehab games. The 23-year-old is the Twins' top prospect, and it looks like the torn ACL that has sidelined him since last May is no longer bothering him. Lewis isn't eligible to come off the 60-day injured list until May 29, and it's not yet clear if the team plans to immediately add him to the big-league roster or will give him more time in the minors.
