Miami Marlins outfielder Javier Sanoja had a huge day at the dish on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth inning of a 7-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Sanoja added two runs and five RBI to the impressive line. The homer was the rookie's first big-league shot, and it was an important one. The 22-year-old was a top-20 prospect coming into the year for the Marlins, but hasn't been given a ton of playing time to work with so far. He's now hitting .350 with a .822 OPS, so maybe that will change. Still, for the time being he can be left on waivers in all but the deepest formats.

Washington Nationals pitcher Jake Irvin tossed 6 innings of two-run ball on Sunday, earning his second win in a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Irvin allowed just three hits and no walks while striking out nine. This makes back-to-back brilliant outings for the 28-year-old, who has now allowed just six hits and one walk while striking out 15 in his last 13 innings. Irving showed some talent last year at points and appears to be doing the same this year. He is worth an add in deeper formats and can be streamed in good matchups in other formats.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo was excellent on Sunday, tossing seven innings of two-run ball against the Miami Marlins in a 7-5 loss. Luzardo allowed two runs (one earned) on eight hits and had an impressive 7:0 K:BB ratio in this one. The 27-year-old lefty has been very good for the Phillies so far this season, allowing three runs or less and going five-plus innings in each of his five starts. He now holds a 2.08 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 36 strikeouts over 30 IP. He is a must-start pitcher in all fantasy formats at this point.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Tyler Mahle had another impressive outing on Sunday, firing seven scoreless frames against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 1-0 loss. Mahle allowed just two hits while walking three and punching out four. It's been a strange formula for Mahle, who now has a 25:12 K:BB ratio over 26 IP, but it's working. The righty has been limiting hits at a ridiculous rate, with only 10 total hits allowed over those innings. He also hasn't given up more than three hits in any of his five outings this year. While regression will likely hit Mahle hard, he is certainly worth rostering in all fantasy formats during his current run.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried dominated the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, shutting them out for 7 innings in a 4-0 win. Fried allowed just two hits and two walks while striking out two. Fried actually took a no-hitter into the eighth, but upon further review there was a scoring change in the sixth that gave the Rays their first hit. The freshly signed Yankee has looked good in pinstripes, pitching to a 1.42 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with 30 strikeouts in 31 IP. Expect a little bit of regression with the ratios, but Fried should be a bona fide must-start pitcher in all fantasy formats this season.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins had a big day at the plate on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a homer and a steal in a 14-1 smashing of the Athletics. Hoskins added two runs and four RBI to round out a dominant overall stat line. It was a much-needed game for the 32-year-old, who was off to a slow start before this one. He's now up to a .262 AVG with six runs, three homers, 12 RBI, and one steal over 56 at-bats. Hoskins has been heating up over the past week, and if he can return to form he should be a solid source of power in fantasy. Now is a good time to grab him and see if he can continue this hot stretch.

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang ran wild on Sunday, swiping three bags in a 14-1 drubbing of the Athletics. Turang finished the day 2-for-3 with a walk, three runs scored, an RBI, and the aforementioned three steals. The speedster had his doubters coming into the season after a poor back half of 2024, but he is doing his best to prove them wrong, hitting .322 with a .795 OPS and adding 23 runs, three homers, 11 RBI, and eight steals in 84 at-bats. He's been excellent in the leadoff spot for the Brewers and is looking like a steal (literally) for those who drafted him in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts.

Cincinnati Reds catcher Austin Wynns had the best day of his career on Sunday, smacking six hits and driving in six runs in a 24-2 demolition of the Baltimore Orioles. Wynns finished the day 6-for-7 with a homer, two runs scored, and six RBI. It was certainly a day to remember for the 34-year-old backup catcher, who is now up to a .455 AVG and 1.227 OPS on the season. Although it's a fun story, there isn't much here from a fantasy perspective, as Wynns only plays a few times a week and will certainly regress statistically. Still, not many can say they had a six-hit day in the majors, so Wynns will always have that.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter left Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Royals in the eighth inning due to hamstring soreness. He was having a good game before the injury, going 3-for-4 with a double. He will undergo testing to determine the extent of the injury. It would be a shame if this required a trip to the injured list, as Carpenter was off to a very hot start to begin 2025. He is currently slashing .315/.338/.562 with five home runs in 22 games and was even seeing some starts against some left-handed pitchers.

From RotoBaller

Athletics starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs left the game in the third inning of Sunday's start with hamstring tightness. He had already given up six runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks in a game that the A's would go on to lose 14-1 to the Brewers. After the game, Springs said the hamstring issue was more like a cramp that started in the second inning and worsened in the third. He expects to be ready to pitch for his next start, but he will undergo further evaluations over the next couple of days. He currently holds an ugly 5.64 ERA on the season, and will look to turn things around in his next start if he's ready to go.

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Noelvi Marte had an explosive day at the plate, going 5-for-7 with a home run, two doubles, seven RBI, and three runs. The entire offense was firing on all cylinders in the 24-2 win over the Orioles, and this was an encouraging sign for the former top prospect. It's important to note that his grand slam and one of his doubles came off Jorge Mateo and Gary Sanchez, so don't take this as a sure sign of a breakout. Still, Marte is expected to get more playing time with Christian Encarnacion-Strand landing on the injured list, and there's still time for the youngster to figure things out at the major league level.

Relief pitcher Scott Blewett was traded to the Atlanta Braves from the Orioles in exchange for cash considerations on Sunday. He was previously designated for assignment by Baltimore and will now be looking to contribute to a solid Atlanta bullpen. He's pitched nine innings in four appearances so far this year, allowing one earned run while striking out 11 and walking one. He's been effective at eating innings, as he's gotten more than six outs in three out of his four appearances. It's unclear if he will start in Triple-A or head straight to the big-league club, but he will likely assume a middle relief role in that bullpen.

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Justin Martinez was not available on Sunday due to fatigue and a heavy workload, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Arizona won 3-2 in an 11-inning game against the Cubs, so it raised some alarms when Martinez never saw the field. It's still odd for him to be dealing with fatigue, considering he hasn't pitched in a game since Thursday, so the situation is worth monitoring. This would be bad timing if it is a more serious injury, as Martinez just became the full-time closer with A.J. Puk landing on the injured list with left elbow inflammation.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez is being recalled to the major league roster and is expected to make his debut against the Reds this homestand, according to Craig Mish. The top prospect was slashing .258/.320/.500 with three home runs and five stolen bases in Triple-A, which are numbers that will certainly play at a weak position. In 126 games between Double-A and Triple-A in 2024, he hit .267 with 25 home runs and 22 steals. That type of power and speed is extremely rare for a catcher, making him worth an add in all two-catcher leagues.

San Diego Padres designated hitter Luis Arraez (undisclosed) exited his team's outing against the Houston Astros in the first inning on Sunday. Arraez was involved in a scary collision at first base after attempting to bunt teammate Fernando Tatis Jr. to second base. The 28-year-old hustled down the line to beat out the throw and collided with Astros' second baseman Mauricio Dubon, who was covering on the play. It appeared that Arraez crashed into Dubon's shoulder and immediately crumpled to the ground. Eventually, his head and neck were stabilized, and he was carted off. Reportedly, the All-Star DH was transported to Houston Methodist Hospital, and his condition is stable. He is responsive and has control of his extremities. Expect an update on his status soon.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (leg) exited Sunday's 1-0 win against the Texas Rangers with lower leg cramps. Glasnow was pulled from Sunday's start after just one pitch in the fifth inning. The 31-year-old allowed three hits and one walk with six strikeouts over four scoreless innings before being removed from Sunday's contest. The trainers checked him out in the fourth inning, but he initially stayed in the game before being pulled in the fifth frame. Glasnow is dealing with lower leg cramps and appears to have avoided a serious injury. The Dodgers' right-hander is considered day-to-day. He owns a 3.71 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts across four starts in 2024. Glasnow will get a few days off, but should be able to make his next scheduled start next Sunday at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Colorado Rockies have promoted right-handed pitching prospect Zach Agnos to the major leagues. In a corresponding move, the Rockies have placed right-handed pitcher Victor Vodnik (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list. Agnos was in the mix to make the roster out of camp, but fell short in the competition. However, the Eastern Carolina product is being rewarded with an early promotion. Earlier this season, Agnos logged his first eight innings with Triple-A and held a strong 2.25 ERA with a 0.75 WHIP. During this brief stretch, he struck out 10 batters and tallied two saves. Last summer, he spent time with High-A and Double-A and logged 52 1/3 innings to the tune of a 1.38 ERA and a 0.78 WHIP. During this stint, he tallied 63 punchouts and added 17 saves. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status as he could compete for save opportunities over Seth Halvorsen.

The Colorado Rockies have placed right-handed pitcher Victor Vodnik (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list retroactive to April 17 due to right shoulder inflammation. Vodnik last appeared in a contest on April 16. Through the early part of the campaign, Vodnik has been deployed as a high-leverage arm in the Colorado bullpen. Across eight innings of work, the right-hander has held a 4.50 ERA with a 1.63 WHIP. Vodnik has tallied one save and held an 8:6 K:BB. He has generated a hefty 7.26 xERA with a .282 xBA, which suggests he should face some significant regression when he returns to the bump. In a corresponding move, the Rockies promoted right-handed pitching prospect Zach Agnos from Triple-A. While Vodnik is out, Seth Halvorsen should see most of the save opportunities.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) took 20 dry swings on Saturday and did not feel any pain in his oblique. Ryan Bass of the Tampa Bay Rays reported that the outfielder hopes to begin hitting off a tee next week if he continues to progress. This is an excellent sign for the 27-year-old as he has been on the injured list since March 29 due to a right oblique strain. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress as he could face live pitching in the coming weeks if he does not face any setbacks. Before the injury, the 27-year-old appeared in just one contest and tallied one hit. Last season, Lowe was limited by injuries as well, appearing in just 106 games and posting a .241/.302/.391 slash line. When Lowe does return, he will likely have an everyday role in right field.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Blake Treinen (forearm) is dealing with a low-grade sprain and will begin a "conservative" rehab. The reliever will not have to undergo surgery. This is an excellent sign as Treinen was placed on the 15-day injured list with a forearm injury on Saturday. However, it appears the 36-year-old has avoided a significant injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression as he slowly increases his workload. Through the early part of the campaign, the right-hander has held a 3.38 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP across eight innings of work. He has struck out 10 batters, tallied three holds, and earned two saves. He has generated a strong 3.47 xERA with a stellar 31.8 percent hard-hit rate. While the right-hander remains out, Tanner Scott should see the bulk of the save opportunities with Kirby Yates and Alex Vesia mixing in.
