  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Logs RBI in defeat

    Devers started at first base and went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.

    Devers played the field for the first time this season after previously serving as the designated hitter due to left hamstring tightness. The veteran infielder hit a go-ahead RBI single in the sixth inning, driving in San Francisco's final run of the game. He recorded just his second RBI of the season Sunday and is now slashing .211/.286/.316 with a home run and an additional run scored across 42 plate appearances in 10 games.

  • Cade Povich SP | BAL

    Orioles' Cade Povich: Works in long relief Sunday

    Povich covered 5.2 innings out of the bullpen in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Pirates, taking a no-decision while striking out two batters and allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks.

    With starter Chris Bassitt getting chased from the game after allowing six runs over two innings, Povich -- who had been called up from Triple-A Norfolk -- was tasked with mopping up in the series finale in Pittsburgh. The young lefty was able to eat some innings and spare the bullpen from overuse, but the extended relief appearance will take him out of the running to fill the open spot in the Baltimore rotation that was created by Zach Eflin's (elbow) recent move to the injured list. Albert Suarez could be the leading candidate to replace Eflin in Monday's game against the White Sox, either as a starter or primary pitcher out of the bullpen.

  • Joe Ross RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Joe Ross: Clears waivers

    The Diamondbacks outrighted Ross to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

    Ross will stick around in the Arizona organization after going unclaimed off waivers once the Diamondbacks designated him for assignment Friday. The right-hander was able to secure his spot on the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster but struggled over his three appearances out of the bullpen to begin the season, allowing eight earned runs on seven hits and four walks over 3.2 innings.

  • James Wood LF | WAS

    Nationals' James Wood: Drives in three against Dodgers

    Wood went 1-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

    The 23-year-old took Roki Sasaki deep in the fourth inning to help the Nationals build a 6-1 lead that the bullpen squandered late. Wood has struck out 17 times in his first 45 plate appearances this season, but he's hit the ball hard when he has made contact, producing a .125/.222/.350 slash line with three doubles, two homers, six runs and six RBI in nine games.

  • Ethan Roberts RP | CHC

    Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Returned to Triple-A

    The Cubs returned Roberts to Triple-A Iowa on Monday.

    Roberts will head back to the minors after the Cubs summoned him from Iowa to serve as their 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader versus the Guardians. The right-hander was called upon in relief in the Cubs' 6-5 loss in Game 2, retiring two of the three batters he faced while allowing a base hit.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Homer streak ends Sunday

    Abrams went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

    While the shortstop saw his homer streak end at three games, Abrams still found a way to contribute for his fantasy investors. The 25-year-old has been locked in to begin 2026, batting .290 (9-for-31) through eight games with three homers, two steals, seven runs and 12 RBI.

  • Nasim Nunez SS | WAS

    Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Swipes two more bags Sunday

    Nunez went 1-for-4 with a walk and two stolen bases in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Getting the start at second base and batting second, Nunez upped his steal total on the season to five in five attempts through seven games. Sunday also marked the first time the 25-year-old had hit any higher than sixth in the order this year, as manager Blake Butera continues to mix and match his lineups. Nunez's speed is so far his only real selling point from a fantasy perspective, as he's batting .231 (6-for-26) with zero extra-base hits, two RBI and four runs scored.

  • Luke Weaver SP | NYM

    Mets' Luke Weaver: Notched first hold of year

    Weaver tossed a perfect eighth inning Sunday to record his first hold of the season in a 5-2 win over the Giants. He didn't strike out a batter.

    The veteran right-hander fired 10 of 12 pitches for strikes before handing the ball off to Devin Williams for the ninth. Weaver produced more than 20 holds each of the last two seasons for the Yankees, and he seems on his way to reaching that mark again for the Mets, posting a 0.00 ERA and giving up just one hit over four appearances and 4.0 innings with a 2:2 K:BB.

  • Mets' Huascar Brazoban: Picks up win Sunday

    Brazoban (1-0) recorded the win Sunday against the Giants, tossing 1.1 perfect innings of relief. He didn't strike out a batter.

    The right-hander replaced Kodai Senga on the mound in the sixth inning with the Mets down 2-1, and was still the pitcher of record when they erupted for four runs in the top of the eighth. Brazoban has looked good to begin the season, posting a 0.00 ERA and 3:0 K:BB over five appearances and 5.1 innings.

  • Carson Benge RF | NYM

    Mets' Carson Benge: Stays busy on basepaths

    Benge went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Giants.

    The steal was Benge's fourth of the season in nine games, but the rookie outfielder is struggling to make an impact with his bat, going 3-for-30 (.100) with a 4:11 BB:K. A groundball rate of 57.9 percent and a 3.3 degree launch angle are also contributing to his struggles. The Mets aren't going to pull the plug on the top prospect any time soon, but Benge is looking a little overmatched at the plate to begin his big-league career.
