Tristan Peters CF | CHW
White Sox's Tristan Peters: Goes deep again Monday
Peters went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-1 loss against Seattle.
Peters turned on a center-cut sinker and deposited it over the right-field wall for a solo homer in the seventh inning. After going without a homer through his first 42 games, the 26-year-old has now gone deep in back-to-back contests. Overall, he's hitting .257 with seven extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 13 runs and four stolen bases across 122 plate appearances. While Peters started Monday's contest in left field, he has seen most of his action this season in center field and figures to continue drawing regular starts against right-handed pitching moving forward.

Josh Naylor 1B | SEA
Mariners' Josh Naylor: Trio of hits in win
Naylor went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and two steals in Monday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.
On his own bobblehead night at T-Mobile Park, Naylor consistently was active on the bases with a trio of singles and two swipes as the Mariners snapped a three-game skid. After a pedestrian start to the season in which he posted a .622 OPS across 29 games, the first baseman has been much better in May with an .818 OPS through 17 contests. Overall, Naylor is slashing .260/.325/.370 with five homers, five doubles, 22 RBI, 15 runs and 12 stolen bases across 200 plate appearances.

Colt Emerson 3B | SEA
Mariners' Colt Emerson: Launches first homer
Emerson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.
Emerson left the yard for his first MLB hit, with the top prospect launching a three-run shot in the eighth inning to extend the Mariners' lead. Through two games since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma, the 20-year-old has gone 1-for-6 (.167 average) with a walk. With Brendan Donovan (groin) landing on the injured list, Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said that Emerson will step in as Seattle's everyday third baseman for the foreseeable future, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.

Noah Schultz SP | CHW
White Sox's Noah Schultz: Charged with third loss
Schultz (2-3) took the loss Monday, allowing three runs on five hits, no walks and two hit batsmen over 5.1 innings against Seattle. He struck out six.
Schultz avoided a major snowball effect after allowing a leadoff homer to Julio Rodriguez in the first inning, though the big lefty was unable to complete six innings and was ultimately saddled with his third loss. One positive from the outing was that Schultz didn't issue a walk for the first time in his big-league career, though he did plunk a pair of hitters. The 22-year-old has struggled in May, posting a 6.05 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 19.1 innings (four starts). Schultz will carry a 4.93 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 32:21 K:BB across 34.2 innings (seven starts) into his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against San Francisco.

Bryan Woo SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryan Woo: Posts six scoreless frames Monday
Woo (4-2) earned the win Monday, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings against the White Sox. He struck out eight.
Woo was stellar, keeping the White Sox offense off the board en route to his third scoreless start of the season. After a rocky two-start stretch between April 25 and May 1 in which he surrendered 13 earned runs across nine innings, the right-hander has allowed just two runs over 18 innings with a 26:6 K:BB across his past three outings. Woo will carry a 3.51 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 55:12 K:BB through 59 innings (10 starts) into his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Royals.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Belts walk-off blast
Neto went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Monday in a 2-1 victory versus the Athletics.
Like every other Angels batter, Neto entered the ninth inning without a hit against A's starter J.T. Ginn. Adam Frazier opened the frame with a single to break up the no-no, and Neto then ended the contest in dramatic fashion with a two-run blast to center field. The long ball was Neto's eighth of the campaign, and he's added seven stolen bases, 31 runs and 22 RBI while slashing .225/.336/.412 through 48 contests.

Walbert Urena SP | LAA
Angels' Walbert Urena: Tosses six scoreless frames
Urena allowed four hits and walked two batters while striking out four over six scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Monday.
Urena was excellent in the outing, holding the A's scoreless while tossing 92 pitches over six innings. However, he was outshone for most of the game by Athletics starter J.T. Ginn, who carried a no-hitter into the ninth before ultimately serving up a walk-off homer. Urena recorded just four strikeouts, but he induced 15 whiffs. The right-hander has put his name on the fantasy radar with a string of strong appearances -- over his past four starts, Urena has posted a 1.64 ERA despite a modest 17:9 K:BB across 22 innings.

Addison Barger 3B | TOR
Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Looking to ramp up activity
Barger (elbow) was in Toronto for a follow-up exam Monday, seeking the green light to start hitting and throwing Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Barger was a playoff standout for the Blue Jays last fall, slashing .367/.441/.583 in the postseason, but his 2026 campaign has been plagued by injuries so far. He first hurt his ankles in an awkward landing at first base in early April and returned for just one start before landing right back on the IL with right elbow inflammation. Barger seems eager to begin ramping up his activities, however, and the expectation is still that he will be a big part of the Toronto lineup when healthy.

J.T. Ginn SP | ATH
Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Loses no-hitter in ninth, dealt loss
Ginn (2-2) was the pitcher of record in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Angels after allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters over eight-plus innings.
Ginn dominated through eight frames, holding the Angels without a hit while establishing a new career-high strikeout total. The game was tied 0-0 heading into the ninth, but the Athletics scored a run in the top of the inning to give Ginn a shot at history. In an absolutely brutal ending to a fantastic outing, Ginn gave up a leadoff single to Adam Frazier to lose the no-hitter before Zach Neto tagged him for a two-run, walk-off home run. Ginn's start will be most remembered for the way it ended, but fantasy managers who roster him should take solace in the strength of his overall performance. He not only picked up third straight quality start but also demonstrated improved swing-and-miss stuff with 14 whiffs.

Bailey Falter RP | KC
Royals' Bailey Falter: Set to open Tuesday's contest
Falter will work as the Royals' opening pitcher Tuesday in a bullpen game against the Red Sox, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Falter is in line for his second appearance since being activated from the 15-day injured list Saturday. The southpaw handled two innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Cardinals, and even though he'll be pitching on just two days' rest Tuesday, a multi-inning appearance isn't out of the question.
