Jose Altuve
HOU • LF • #
Jose Altuve hit a two-run homer while driving in three runs in the Astros’ 8-5 win over the Tigers on Monday.
Altuve hit second behind Jeremy Peña again — with Peña going 2-for-4 and scoring a pair of runs in the contest — and it went well for the 34-year-old. He socked a two-run blast off Jack Flaherty that gave the Astros a 4-3 lead in the sixth, and he picked up his third RBI of the day with a fielder’s choice in the seventh. Altuve is now hitting .282/.316/.409 on the season, and while that’s a far cry from his best campaigns, it’s also far from unuseable as well.

Christian Walker hit a two-run homer in a win over the Tigers on Monday.
It was the only hit of the game for Walker, but if you’re only going to get one hit, you might as well make it a homer. Walker has gone deep four times in his first year with the Astros, but is still slashing an ugly .192/.273/.354 over the first 27 games of the campaign. Those numbers will improve, but there’s no denying the first sixth of the season has been a disappointing one for the veteran first baseman.
Ronel Blanco

Ronel Blanco struck out six while working five innings of three-run baseball and didn’t pick up a decision against the Tigers on Monday.
Blanco allowed only three hits, but two of those hits were homers. The right-hander was able to strike out six against two walks while locating 52-of-84 pitches for strikes. Blanco has not worked deeper than five innings in any of his outings this year, but he’s avoided the disastrous start. He walked two while striking out four and seeing his ERA rise to a still healthy 3.34. Flaherty will try and keep the ball in the park next week against the Angles in Los Angeles.

Riley Greene homered twice, but the Tigers fell to the Astros on Monday.
Greene, 24, drove in three runs with the two homers. The first was a solo blast off Ronel Blanco, the second a two-run shot off Kaleb Ort that made the score 8-5 Astros in the eighth. Greene has gone through ups and downs already in his 2025 campaign, but this helped improve his line to .234/.280/.441 with six homers and 16 RBI through 28 games.
Jasson Domínguez

Jasson Domínguez went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts on Monday in a loss to the Orioles.
Domínguez hasn’t exactly set the fantasy landscape ablaze so far, striking out 32 percent of the time in exactly 100 plate appearances through 25 games. He hasn’t been a complete non-factor since he’s contributed two homers, 12 RBI and three steals during that span. The 22-year-old top prospect isn’t going anywhere and an extended hot streak would certainly help flip the narrative on his early-season performance.
Brandon Nimmo
NYM • LF

Brandon Nimmo had a career game Monday, going 4-for-6 with two homers and nine RBI in the Mets’ 19-5 destruction of the Nationals.
Nimmo only got his first RBI in the sixth, when he hit a three-run homer. He launched a grand slam the next inning and then a two-run double in the eighth. He got to bat again versus Amed Rosario in the ninth, but Mark Vientos immediately preceded him with a three-run homer, and Nimmo harmlessly grounded out. As a result, Nimmo only tied the Mets record for RBI, which was set by Carlos Delgado against the Yankees in 2008. Nimmo’s previous high was five.
