  • Nick Davila RP | SEA

    Mariners' Nick Davila: Joining big club

    The Mariners selected Davila's contract from Double-A Arkansas on Saturday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports

    Davila will make the jump to the majors directly from Double-A after giving up just two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters across nine innings. He'll presumably take on a middle-relief role while with the Mariners and will be making his MLB debut if/when he gets into a game.

  • Robert Suarez RP | ATL

    Braves' Robert Suarez: Picks up fourth save

    Suarez earned the save Friday against the Rockies, allowing one hit and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Suarez entered the game with a two-run lead after Atlanta scored two runs in the top of the ninth, and he needed 17 pitches (12 strikes) to get the job done. Even though Suarez gave up a one-out single to Brenton Doyle, he closed the door by retiring Edouard Julien and Mickey Moniak. Suarez has gone 4-for-4 in save chances this season and should continue to have elite fantasy upside as long as Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) remains on the injured list. Suarez has a spotless 0.00 ERA and 0.67 WHIP with a 6:1 K:BB in his last six innings and six appearances.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Productive in win Friday

    Kelly went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Kelly has been an offensive force so far for the Cubs, as he's slashing .316/.413/.443 through 24 games. He's established himself as the clear top backstop in Chicago across the past two seasons, though Miguel Amaya is one of the more talented complementary options in the league. Kelly should continue to see the majority of the playing time moving forward, and his hot bat warrants attention in most fantasy formats.

  • Jordan Walker RF | STL

    Cardinals' Jordan Walker: Four more hits Friday

    Walker went 4-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Dodgers.

    This was Walker's fourth straight game with a hit and seventh consecutive contest reaching base, as the outfielder continues to enjoy a breakout start to the 2026 campaign. Over that seven-game stretch, Walker has three multi-hit performances while slashing .407/.469/.593 with a homer, nine RBI, five runs scored and two stolen bases. He's been the driving force on offense for the Cardinals all season and is on pace to deliver career-best numbers across all categories.

  • Cardinals' Matthew Liberatore: Sniffs quality start

    Liberatore (1-1) earned the win Friday against the Dodgers, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks across 5.2 innings, striking out four.

    Liberatore bounced back after giving up five runs and three homers in a no-decision against the Mariners in his last start. This time, he was facing one of the best offenses in the majors, but he did a good job of keeping the ball in the park while ending just one out shy of recording what would've been his third quality start of the campaign. Liberatore isn't a pitcher that's going to overpower hitters, as he's fanned more than four just once in his seven starts, and his 23:13 K:BB across 36 innings doesn't really stand out, but he's a decent innings eater. He'll take a 4.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP into his next start, which is scheduled for next week at home against the Brewers.

  • Michael Busch 1B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Doubles, drives in two Friday

    Busch went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Busch got May off to a good start with a two-hit performance that raised his season batting average above .200. It's been a struggle so far for the first baseman, though he's been better lately with a .268/.375/.488 slash line across his last 10 games. Busch's slow start, combined with Nico Hoerner's hot start, compelled the Cubs to make the latter their primary leadoff hitter, but Hoerner exited Friday's contest with a neck issue. If he has to miss time, Busch is an option to bat first, at least against righties, which is something he did often in 2025.

  • Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Gives up four runs Friday

    Sheehan (2-1) took the loss Friday against the Cardinals, allowing four runs on eight hits, including two home runs, across 4.2 innings. He struck out eight and did not issue a walk.

    Sheehan has posted an impressive 18:1 K:BB in 11 innings over his last two starts, but even with the strikeouts Friday, he endured arguably his worst outing since his season debut, when he allowed four runs on 3.1 frames in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on March 27. Through six starts, Sheehan has gone 2-1 with a 5.23 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 36:9 K:BB in 31 innings. He's a good source of strikeouts, but he's struggled with run prevention, allowing three or more earned runs in four of his six appearances thus far. Sheehan is slated to make his next start on the road against the Astros.

  • Brent Rooker DH | ATH

    Athletics' Brent Rooker: Smacks homer in loss

    Rooker went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Guardians.

    Rooker got Thursday off after going 0-for-13 with five strikeouts and a walk in three games following his return from an oblique strain. The outfielder benefited from the reset, as he homered in his first at-bat Friday and added an RBI single in the seventh inning. Rooker is still batting just .136 with a .509 OPS, three homers, 11 RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases over 68 plate appearances this season. That said, the slugger is due to see his rate stats improve, and he should be able to maintain a steady spot in the lineup as the Athletics' primary designated hitter.

  • J.T. Ginn SP | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Ineffective in loss

    Ginn (0-1) allowed five runs on five hits and five walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Guardians.

    The five walks were a season high for Ginn, who threw 50 of 88 pitches for strikes. The right-hander experienced shoulder soreness in his previous start, but his workload Friday suggests he wasn't facing any limitations -- even if his performance hints that he perhaps isn't 100 percent. Across eight outings (five starts), he has a 4.30 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB through 29.1 innings. Ginn isn't likely to dazzle often on the mound, instead serving as a No. 4 or 5 starter. His next start is tentatively expected to come on the road in Philadelphia.

  • Chase DeLauter RF | CLE

    Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Perfect at plate Friday

    DeLauter went 4-for-4 with two doubles, one walk, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Athletics.

    DeLauter's bat is running hot -- he's hit safely in eight of his last nine games, going 14-for-32 (.438) in that span. He hasn't hit a home run during that stretch, but he has three doubles, a triple and eight RBI. On the year, the outfield prospect is batting .286 with an .896 OPS, five homers, 20 RBI, 13 runs scored, eight doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over his first 30 regular-season games.
