Sheets went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks Saturday in a 7-4 win against the Mariners.

Sheets began the scoring for San Diego with a solo blast to right-center field in the second inning. He added a pair of walks to reach base multiple times for a fifth straight game. Over that stretch, Sheets is batting a robust .538 (7-for-13) with two homers, four RBI, a stolen base and five walks while striking out just once. He's now started eight straight games for the Padres, splitting his time between first base, left field and DH.

Castellanos went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run Saturday in a 7-4 win against Seattle.

Castellanos pushed San Diego's lead to 5-0 with a three run-blast to center field in the fourth inning. It was his second homer in his past five games after he went deep just once across his first 23 contests of the campaign. Castellanos has largely struggled to make an impact in his first season with the Padres, as he's slashing just .205/.237/.364 with three long balls through 29 games, though he does have 18 RBI.

Estrada earned a save against the Mariners on Saturday, allowing one hit and one walk over one scoreless inning.

Estrada entered in the ninth inning with San Diego up by three runs. He got into some trouble by issuing a walk and allowing a single with one out, but the right-hander retired the next two batters to close out the San Diego win. Estrada's save was his first of the season and fifth of his career. Mason Miller has been arguably the best closer in baseball this season, but he was presumably unavailable after throwing 34 pitches in a save Friday. With that in mind, Estrada isn't likely to see many save chances moving forward.

Buehler (3-2) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings to earn the win over Seattle on Saturday.

Buehler was staked to a 5-0 lead before he gave up a run in the bottom of the fourth inning. The right-hander yielded one more run in the fifth and didn't return for the sixth, as he had already thrown 101 pitches by that point. Buehler recorded just seven whiffs in the outing, but he struck out six batters, registering his second-most punchouts in a start this season. The veteran hurler has had his share of struggles this season, but he's managed to hang on to a rotation spot in part due to a positive 3-2 record. Beyond that, Buehler hasn't been an appealing fantasy asset, registering a 5.01 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 37:14 K:BB across 41.1 innings spanning nine starts.

Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run during the Cubs' 8-3 loss to the White Sox on Saturday.

Crow-Armstrong made Saturday's score look slightly more respectable when he belted a two-run homer in the ninth inning. He has hits in each of the past three games but was hitless in the four contests leading up to that stretch. Crow-Armstrong is up to five home runs this season and is slashing .238/.312/.381 with 11 steals (on 14 attempts), 20 RBI and 25 runs across 187 plate appearances.

Taillon (2-3) took the loss against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out two across five innings.

Taillon put the Cubs in an early hole after giving up a three-run homer to Miguel Vargas in the first inning. It was the first of five home runs that the right-hander gave up Saturday, which was one shy of the club record held by Matt Swarmer on June 11, 2022, per Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com. It was the second time this season that Taillon gave up at least six earned runs in a start, and he now has a 4.97 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 42:17 K:BB across 50.2 innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Astros.

Chourio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a 2-1 win against Minnesota on Saturday.

Chourio carried the Brewers' offense in the victory, recording both of the team's extra-base hits (and two of the club's overall five knocks). His solo home run in the sixth inning broke a 1-1 tie and proved to be the game-winning RBI, as neither team scored thereafter. Chourio didn't make his season debut until May 4, and the long ball was his first of the campaign. He's hit well overall, though, posting a .318/.362/.500 slash line with a steal, four RBI and four runs across 10 contests.

Patrick notched a save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Twins, striking out three batters and allowing one hit over four scoreless innings.

Patrick entered in the sixth inning after Logan Henderson allowed one run over five frames as the starter. The 27-year-old righty retired nine of the 10 batters he faced over the next three frames, so manager Pat Murphy elected to keep Patrick in the game for the ninth. The decision may have been influenced by Abner Uribe working three of the previous four days and Trevor Megill pitching Friday. That proved to be a good choice, as Patrick retired the side in order to close out the contest. The save was the first of his career in just his ninth relief appearance across 37 total MLB outings. Patrick has worked out of the bullpen in each of his past three appearances and has fared well in that role, yielding just three hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over eight scoreless innings. Milwaukee has an opening in its rotation after optioning Coleman Crow to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, but Patrick could remain in the bullpen if Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is able to return from the injured list the next time a fifth starter is needed.

Henderson (1-1) earned the win over Minnesota on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over five innings.

Henderson surrendered a solo homer to Trevor Larnach in the third inning, but the Twins were otherwise unable to get into the scoring column against him. The right-hander racked up an impressive 18 whiffs en route to his first big-league win of 2026. Henderson is in the rotation due to an injury to Brandon Woodruff (shoulder), who could be back by the end of May. However, with a 3.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 23:3 K:BB through 18 innings spanning four starts, Henderson may be making a case for a permanent starting role with the big club.

Sanoja went 2-for-5 with two doubles, four RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-5 extra-inning win over the Rays.

Sanoja fell one RBI short of tying a career high, but he notably posted his first RBI of the month of May altogether Saturday. The 23-year-old has been useful to the Marlins in terms of positional versatility as a super-utility player, but he isn't commanding much fantasy attention. Through 92 at-bats, Sanoja is hitting .261 with no home runs, 14 RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases.
