  • Rockies' Michael Lorenzen: Loses fourth straight start

    Lorenzen (2-6) allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.

    This was Lorenzen's fourth straight loss, and he's allowed 20 runs (19 earned) over 20 innings in that span. This is the third time in five home outings he's been on the hook for at least six earned runs. Overall, he has a 7.03 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 36:17 K:BB across 48.2 innings over 11 appearances (10 starts). Lorenzen's next start is projected to be a rematch with the Diamondbacks in Arizona.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Clouts first homer in win

    Gurriel went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 8-6 win over Colorado.

    Gurriel had a run-producing single in the third inning and then belted a solo home run in the fifth. It was the first homer of the season for Gurriel, who's had a slow start since being activated off the 60-day injured list in April; however, the bat has showed recent life. He's knocked in at least one run in four of his last five games and is 6-for-20 with three extra-base hits and five RBI during that span.

  • Corbin Carroll RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Big day in win

    Carroll went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, three total RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rockies.

    Carroll homered on consecutive at-bats to record his ninth career multi-homer game. The outfielder is up to seven home runs over 43 games in 2026, slightly off last season's pace, when Carroll had 31 HRs over 143 contests.

  • Grant Holmes SP | ATL

    Braves' Grant Holmes: Goes six scoreless in win

    Holmes (3-1) earned the win against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing five hits and one walk while generating four strikeouts over six innings.

    Holmes was efficient, throwing 58 of 87 pitches for strikes and earning his fourth quality start of the year. It marked the second time in nine outings the 30-year-old walked only one batter, and he's now yielded three earned runs or fewer eight times. He'll carry a 3.80 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 38:22 K:BB across 47.1 innings into a home matchup against the Nationals next weekend.

  • Braves' Mike Yastrzemski: Goes deep in win

    Yastrzemski went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Yastrzemski singled and scored in the second inning before launching a solo homer in the fourth. The 35-year-old has now hit safely in four of his past five games, tallying four extra-base hits and driving in six runs during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .232/.299/.344 with two home runs, 12 RBI, 19 runs scored and a stolen base across 137 plate appearances.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Goes deep in win

    Riley went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Riley opened the scoring with a three-run blast in the first inning before adding a double and scoring again in the fifth. It marked the first time the third baseman recorded multiple extra-base hits in a game since April 17, and he's now hitting .286 with four home runs in 15 May contests after entering the month with just three long balls. On the season, he's slashing .220/.287/.384 with seven homers, 28 RBI, 24 runs scored and three steals across 195 plate appearances.

  • Sal Frelick RF | MIL

    Brewers' Sal Frelick: Two knocks, two steals in loss

    Frelick went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

    Frelick hasn't run as much this season -- he picked up his second and third steals of the year after going 19-for-25 on the basepaths in the 2025 regular season. The outfielder is batting .250 (13-for-52) over 14 contests in May, with his double Sunday being his first extra-base hit of the month. Overall, he's batting .224 with a .614 OPS, three home runs, 13 RBI, 19 runs scored and three doubles across 161 plate appearances as Milwaukee's starting right fielder.

  • Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Goes yard in loss

    Mitchell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

    Mitchell homered in the fourth inning off Bailey Ober. Across seven games after returning from an illness, Mitchell has gone 6-for-23 (.261) with three extra-base hits, two RBI, one stolen base and a 1:11 BB:K. The outfielder continues to see strong-side platoon work in center field. He's batting .223 with a .700 OPS, two homers, 23 RBI, 18 runs scored, six stolen bases, eight doubles and one triple over 147 plate appearances this season.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Homers in return

    Yelich (back) went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

    The injury bug has already had a couple of bites at Yelich this year after a groin strain sent him to the injured list and back soreness cost him four games just after his return. The veteran may need some days off in the near term to avoid aggravating the back, which has been a troublesome area for him in the past. This season, he's batting .283 with a .788 OPS, two homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, three stolen bases, two doubles and a triple over 65 plate appearances, which shows he can still contribute in fantasy if his body cooperates.

  • Robert Gasser SP | MIL

    Brewers' Robert Gasser: Shaky pitching in season debut

    Gasser allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits, two walks and three hit batsmen while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Sunday.

    Gasser made his fist big-league start of the season, but it wasn't a particularly good showing. He's now plunked eight batters over eight big-league appearances in his career. Prior to his call-up, he posted a 3.74 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB across 21.2 innings over six starts with Triple-A Nashville. The strikeout potential is there, but he still has control issues to work through as he builds up in his first full season following Tommy John surgery in June of 2024.
