New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 11-5 win over the Royals. The home run was his sixth of the season, and the backstop now has 23 RBI, 17 runs scored, a .324 wOBA, and 112 wRC+. The 31-year-old has performed well when he's been in the lineup and has decidedly better numbers than Austin Wells, but they split time evenly (138 PA for Trevino, 132 for Wells) so for fantasy you probably prefer someone who gets more regular at-bats.

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Jeimer Candelario played the role of hero in Wednesday's win over the crosstown-rival Cleveland Guardians, smashing his 10th and 11th home runs of the year with four RBI. After hitting a solo homer off Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee to center field in the first inning to make it 1-0 Reds, Candelario went deep once more for a three-run jack to right field in the sixth to score Will Benson and TJ Friedl and make it a 4-2 ballgame. The 30-year-old veteran switch-hitter is shaking off a slow start to the year to become one of fantasy's highest-added hitters in recent weeks, hitting .301 with seven round-trippers, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored, and two stolen bases in his last 18 games since May 22. As long as he's batting third at a hitter-friendly ballpark, Candelario will be worth riding in fantasy, though the impending return of former top prospect Noelvi Marte from suspension could soon complicate things.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward went 2-for-2 with a walk, double, home run and two RBI in Tuesday's loss versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. His home run would cut the Diamondbacks lead to two at the time, but it wouldn't be enough for the Angels to make a comeback. Despite the strong performance for Ward, he left the game early with lower back tightness and was replaced by outfielder Mickey Moniak in the top of the eighth inning. More should be known on Ward's status ahead of Wednesday's contest, but he can be considered day-to-day until more is known. On the year, Ward is now hitting .253 with 12 homers and 36 RBI. When healthy, Ward makes for a useful outfielder in all formats. Should Ward miss any time, Moniak would see more at-bats, but he can be left on the waiver wire for now.

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani put together a big performance in Tuesday's 13-run victory against the Texas Rangers. Ohtani went 1-for-2 on the evening with two walks, one stolen base and a two-run homer. Ohtani's homer was blasted with an exit velocity of 114.2 MPH that landed 433 feet from home plate. The two-way superstar has only swung the bat with his new club, but he hasn't missed a beat since signing with the Dodgers this offseason. On the year, Ohtani is now hitting .312 with 16 homers, 43 RBI and 15 stolen bases. He remains one of the best options in all formats moving forward.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ryan O'Hearn had an excellent night at the plate in a 5-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a homer, two runs, and an RBI in the winning effort for the O's. The veteran hit a solo homer off Tampa starter Taj Bradley in the fourth inning, a blast that traveled 361 feet and had an exit velocity of 98.4 MPH. O'Hearn is putting together a productive season for Baltimore, hitting .285 with nine homers, 25 runs, 21 RBI, and two steals over 165 at-bats. He's batting .429 with two homers over the past seven games, making him a quality streaming option in fantasy lineups while he's seeing the ball well at the plate.

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-1 romp over the Tigers. The home run was his sixth of the season, but after posting a solid .438 SLG last season, the switch hitter owns a .372 SLG thus far, along with a .295 wOBA and 89 wRC+. Heim's 95 RBI last season led all catchers by a wide margin, but the 28-year-old is on pace for just 72 this season. Still, his current numbers put him in the Top-12 at the catcher position, so if he can build off this game then he could rise further up the ranks in no time.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman capped off the team's comeback win against the crosstown-rival Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, walking it off with his fifth home run of 2024. Tauchman hit the walk-off homer to center field off struggling White Sox closer Michael Kopech on Wednesday, giving the Cubs a 6-5 victory in the ninth inning. The versatile 33-year-old veteran has settled in as Chicago's primary leadoff man against right-handed pitching this year, slashing a respectable .269/.372/.414 with five round-trippers, 18 RBI, 36 runs scored, and four stolen bags over 218 plate appearances. Tauchman is worth considering as an option for fantasy managers in NL-only settings.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon flirted with a no-hitter in Wednesday's victory over the visiting Minnesota Twins, fanning nine batters through six strong innings of work for his eighth win of the season. Rodon carried a no-hit bid through five frames on Wednesday, but the Twins were able to put two runs on the board in the sixth before his night ended. The 31-year-old southpaw has given up more than three runs just one time out of 13 appearances for the Yankees in his second season in the Bronx, delivering a steady 3.08 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 71:20 K:BB over 73 innings. Rodon looks for continued success in his next scheduled start on Monday on the road against the Kansas City Royals.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil continued his amazing season in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Twins. Gil pitched six shutout innings, allowing just one hit and three walks with six strikeouts. The 26-year-old is now 8-1 with a 1.82 ERA, an 11.03 K/9 rate, and a 4.41 BB/9 rate. It is unlikely that he will maintain a .178 BABIP throughout the season, but there is no doubt that he has been a huge surprise fantasy option. He has now turned in seven consecutive quality starts, although that streak will be put to the test in his next scheduled start against the Dodgers. Regardless, Gil should be started given how well he has pitched.

New York Mets relief pitcher Jake Diekman immediately bounced back by earning his second save of the season in Monday's 8-7 game against the Nationals. Adam Ottavino started the bottom of the ninth inning with a three-run lead, but he gave way to Diekman after giving up a run and loading the bases while getting just one out. Diekman got the second out on a sacrifice fly and ended the game with a strikeout. The Mets' bullpen has been up in the air since Edwin Diaz (shoulder) was placed on the injured list. Both Ottavino and Diekman have seen save opportunities in the last seven days, but neither has pitched well lately. Ottavino has more closing experience, but Diekman has pitched better overall with a 4.12 ERA, a 12.36 K/9 rate, and a 6.41 BB/9 rate. As such, both players are worth a look in deep roto leagues but neither instills a ton of confidence.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers provided all of his team's offense in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers. Rogers went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs. The 29-year-old took Nathan Eovaldi deep to tie things up in the third inning and put his team ahead in the eighth with another HR off of Jose Leclerc. Rogers' season stats may not stand out, but he has hit well lately, batting .421 with four extra-base hits in his last seven games. Rogers is currently rostered in just one percent of leagues, making him worth a look in deeper two-catcher leagues.

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs (elbow, lat) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session of fastballs and changeups on Saturday and will throw another bullpen on Tuesday. The Rays hope he will restart his minor-league rehab assignment in early June. Springs' second rehab outing in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League ended after just one batter on May 25 after he was removed in the bottom of the first inning with left-shoulder tightness. Manager Kevin Cash said on May 26 that it was more of a lat issue and called it a "very precautionary" exit that shouldn't set Springs' rehab timeline back too far. The 31-year-old southpaw will have to restart his buildup with a one-inning outing and add to his workload each time out. Springs had Tommy John surgery on April 24 of last year and is currently on the 60-day injured list. Before the year, president of baseball operations Erik Neander said Springs could rejoin the starting rotation by July or August.

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Colin Poche (back) joined Triple-A Durham for a minor-league rehab assignment on Sunday after he felt good during a 15-pitch bullpen session on May 22. Manager Kevin Cash said Poche will likely need a few rehab appearances before he's ready to join the big-league bullpen in Tampa. The left-hander went on the injured list on April 26 (retroactive to April 24) with a mid-back issue that prevented him from feeling fully comfortable on the mound. The 30-year-old received an injection in his back, which came before a few days of rest, and he needed a second cortisone-type injection in early May. Poche had a career-best 2.23 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with a save in 66 relief outings for the Rays in 2023 but had allowed seven earned runs on 12 hits (three homers) in 9 1/3 innings this year before landing on the IL.

San Francisco Giants second baseman Thairo Estrada (thumb) is absent from the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener on the road in Arizona against the Diamondbacks. This will be the third straight game that Estrada has missed after jamming his thumb on Friday in a contest against the New York Mets. When healthy, the 28-year-old has been San Fran's regular second baseman and is currently hitting .248/.278/.417 with eight home runs, 31 RBI and 32 runs scored in 218 at-bats. The Venezuelan switch-hitter should be considered day-to-day for now, and fantasy managers will want to check back on Tuesday to see if he's back in the lineup. Brett Wisely is starting at second and batting leadoff on Monday, while Casey Schmitt is starting at short and batting eighth against D-backs right-hander Ryne Nelson. Wisely is 12-for-36 (.333) in his first 14 games in 2024 and can be considered a DFS sleeper in the leadoff spot.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (elbow) received an anti-inflammatory injection in his injured right elbow on Sunday, according to manager John Schneider. It was a similar injection to the one he received in spring training, and he should be throwing again in three to five days. Romano missed around three weeks when he got his first injection and was forced to start the 2024 regular season on the injured list as a result. The 31-year-old is Toronto's closer when healthy, but this is already his second elbow injury of the year, and there's no current timetable for his return. In the meantime, Yimi Garcia's fantasy stock is up considerably as the Jays' first option for saves with Romano on the shelf. Romano has eight saves this year, but he hasn't been as sharp, either, with a 6.59 ERA and 1.46 WHIP with four walks and 13 K's in 13 2/3 innings pitched.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Dylan Covey (hamstring, shoulder), who is dealing with a right-shoulder strain, had started to play catch but tweaked his hamstring while rehabbing. He is back in Clearwater, Fla., where he is shut down for the time being. Covey has not pitched since his final Grapefruit League appearance on March 1 in spring training and was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. The 32-year-old veteran was the fourth-round pick by the Oakland Athletics in 2013 out of the University of San Diego. Covey debuted in 2017 with the Chicago White Sox and spent the first three years of his career in the Windy City. In 29 appearance (one start) with the Dodgers and Phillies in 2023, he had a 3.77 ERA and 1.51 WHIP with 17 walks and 30 K's in 43 innings pitched. Covey still has a ways to go before being an option in Philly's bullpen this year.

The Baltimore Orioles officially placed infielder Jorge Mateo (concussion) on the 7-day injured list. Mateo suffered the injury in Sunday's 4-3 loss when teammate Cedric Mullins accidentally hit the infielder in the head with a bat. The injury is a tough break for the Orioles second baseman, and he will now miss at least seven days on the injured list. The 28-year-old hasn't had a great season at the plate, as he is hitting just .246 with three home runs and 13 RBI this season. But Baltimore will surely miss his speed on the basepaths until he returns. In a corresponding move, the team called up Connor Norby, who figures to see some playing time in Mateo's place.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael King was solid on Sunday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball in a 4-3 loss against the Kansas City Royals. King allowed four hits and two walks while striking out four in this one. He was in line for the win until things unraveled in the ninth for the Padres bullpen, giving King a tough-luck no-decision. The 29-year-old will look to build off his solid May, where he pitched to a 3.00 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. In fact, King has gotten better each month in his first year as a full-time starter, which is somewhat expected. He should be rostered in all but the shallowest of leagues at this point.
