  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Swats ninth homer Friday

    Caminero went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Friday's 3-0 win over the Giants.

    The third baseman took Robbie Ray deep for his ninth homer of the season in the fourth inning. Caminero snapped a five-game homerless drought with the long ball and is now slashing .258/.328/.508 with the nine homers, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored and a 13:23 BB:K across 134 trips to the plate. His flyball rate has ticked up to 40.8 percent this season while his bat speed (79.7 mph) is in the 100th percentile.

  • Jose Fermin RP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Fermin: Takes loss Friday

    Fermin (0-1) was tagged with the loss in relief Friday against the Mets, allowing one run on one hit during his lone inning of work. He struck out one.

    Fermin was tagged with the loss after allowing a solo shot to Ronny Mauricio, who went yard for the first time this season, for what would be the final run scored in the game. Fermin has made three appearances out of the bullpen since being promoted to the big-league roster April 26, allowing one run across 3.2 innings with a 4:0 K:BB. He has hit two batters as well, so he needs to do a better job with the control of his pitches, but for the most part, he's delivering decent results in his first taste of action in the major leagues in 2026.

  • Josh Ekness RP | MIA

    Marlins' Josh Ekness: Contract selected

    The Marlins selected Ekness's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.

    Although he's logged an impressive 21:6 K:BB, Ekness has struggled to limit runs in Triple-A this year, turning in a 5.68 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 12.2 innings. He'll now join the major-league bullpen despite his difficulties and will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Goes yard twice in rout

    Davis went 2-for-3 with a walk, two home runs, three runs and three RBI in Friday's 9-1 win over the Reds.

    The 26-year-old backstop launched a solo homer off Brady Singer in the fourth inning before belting a two-run shot off Zach Maxwell in the fifth. The long balls were the first of the season for Davis, and his first extra-base hits of any kind since April 7. On the season, he's slashing a meager .176/.273/.309 with one steal, six RBI and 10 runs in 26 games, and Davis will need more than one big performance to get on the fantasy radar in most formats.

  • Bryan Baker RP | TB

    Rays' Bryan Baker: Notches eighth save Friday

    Baker picked up the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Giants, firing a hitless and scoreless ninth inning with one strikeout.

    After blowing a save against the Pirates on April 18, Baker has now tossed four consecutive scoreless innings, recording a save in four straight appearances. With Griffin Jax working on becoming a starter for Tampa Bay, Baker appears to have a stranglehold on the closer gig. He's 8-for-10 in save opportunities and has logged a 2.92 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB across 12.1 innings.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Swats homer in loss

    Perdomo went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Cubs.

    Perdomo narrowed Chicago's lead in the sixth inning when he swatted a three-run homer as part of Arizona's four-run frame. It was the second of the season and first since Opening Day for Perdomo, who's been on a roll since mid-April, going 15-for-40 (.375) with five extra-base hits, two steals, five RBI and five runs over the last 11 contests.

  • Mitch Keller SP | PIT

    Pirates' Mitch Keller: Sharp in third win

    Keller (3-1) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over seven innings in a 9-1 victory over the Reds. He struck out six.

    The veteran righty continues to roll, delivering his fifth quality start of the season on 104 pitches (71 strikes) and tying his season high in strikeouts. Keller has given up more than three runs in a start only once so far in 2026, and he'll take a 2.85 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB through 41 innings into his next outing, which is set to come next week on the road in Arizona.

  • Rays' Shane McClanahan: Shuts out Giants over six innings

    McClanahan (3-2) earned the win Friday against the Giants, scattering five hits and no walks with five strikeouts across six scoreless innings.

    McClanahan has now blanked the Twins and Giants over 11 total innings in back-to-back starts after he was hammered for four runs on eight hits versus Detroit on April 19. The left-hander has his strikeout stuff working again this season and generated 14 whiffs on 73 pitches Friday night. His fastball velocity sat at 95.3 mph, and McClanahan has lowered his ERA to 3.10 with his latest scoreless outing. His 2.86 FIP suggests McClanahan's stellar results have been legit, and he also owns a 1.17 WHIP and 30:13 K:BB across 29 innings. McClanahan is lined up to take the ball at home against the Blue Jays next week.

  • Mets' Huascar Brazoban: Earns win in relief Friday

    Brazoban (2-0) earned the win in relief Friday against the Angels after tossing a perfect sixth inning, striking out one.

    Brazoban only needed 11 pitches to get through the sixth, and after the Mets' bullpen combined for four scoreless frames, the veteran right-hander was awarded his second win of the season. This scoreless outing represents a rebound after Brazoban allowed runs in his previous two outings, but those are the only two appearances in which he's allowed any damage. Through 13 appearances and 14.1 innings, Brazoban owns a 1.26 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with a strong 12:3 K:BB.

  • Mickey Moniak LF | COL

    Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Blasts ninth homer

    Moniak went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against Atlanta.

    Moniak singled and scored in the first inning and then blasted a leadoff homer -- his ninth long ball of the season -- one frame later. He also extended his hitting streak to 15 games, during which he's hit .368 with four homers, nine RBI and 11 runs scored. Moniak has at least one RBI in three straight contests and has been one of the most productive members of the Rockies' lineup to begin the campaign.
