Lopez went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week once Zach Neto returned from the injured list. The 30-year-old defensive specialist should be able to latch on somewhere as emergency infield depth.

Ward atoned for his defensive miscue in the top half of the first inning by smacking a run-scoring double off of Zach Eflin that tied the game at 1-1. He then came around to score on an RBI single off the bat of Logan O’Hoppe. Even with the two-hit attack though, Ward is slashing a miserable .182/.226/.385 on the season to go with eight homers and 17 RBI.

The 35-year-old southpaw punched out five batters on the day while issuing a pair of free passes. The Orioles got him for a run in the opening inning on a “triple” by Adley Rutschman which was really a fly ball that Taylor Ward lost in the sun. They then tacked on a pair of unearned runs in the fifth, and that was enough to sink Anderson in this one. He got nine swings and misses on 94 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 22 percent. He’ll carry an impressive 2.58 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and a 39/17 K/BB ratio (45 1/3 innings) into a tough matchup against the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Saturday.

Lee moved over to shortstop for Sunday’s with Carlos Correa scratched from the lineup. The 24-year-old infielder was a big part of the Twins’ comeback victory against the Giants on Sunday. Lee’s two-run home run in the fourth inning cut the Twins deficit to 3-2 and he scored the winning run in extra innings. Lee is hitting .253 with nine RBI and a .703 OPS on the season.

Hayes has had a solid month, going 24-for-79 (.304) with hits in 17 of 20 games since April 19th. He hasn’t been hitting for any power and has scored only one run in that span despite hitting mostly leadoff for the Pirates, so therein lies the issue with his fantasy value. Still, that batting average and four steals on the season can be worthwhile in deeper formats.

Jung took a fifth-inning pitch from Beau Brieske and hit it 392 feet at 107.4 mph for his fifth home run of the season. He also struck out twice, which has been a bit of an issue for him, and the 27-year-old is just 7-for-35 (.200) so far in May. With Jake Burger rumored to be on his way back to the big leagues, Jung will need to keep hitting to prevent himself from losing some starts to Josh Smith.
