Arenado doubled twice off Framber Valdez, and then swatted a solo homer off Luis Contreras in the seventh. The future Hall of Famer has homered twice in 2025, and the pair of doubles brings that total to six already in just 16 games. It’s extremely early, but it’s encouraging to see Arenado driving the baseball after his disappointing 2024 campaign.

Winn has been playing possessed since he came off the injured list last week. This was his third multi-hit game in his last four contests and he has six extra-base hits in his last seven games. Funny enough, he didn’t have a single extra-base hit in his 13 games before heading to the IL. Also, he hit the hardest ball of his season in this game at 109 mph. If this power surge holds, it would dramatically raise Winn’s ceiling as an every day player who’s been moved to the two-hole in the Cardinals’ lineup.

Gray did not have his best stuff in this one. His usually reliable curveball was all over the place as Mets’ announcer Keith Hernandez eloquently described them as “helicopters” after he floated a handful in above the strike zone. He found a bit of a groove in the middle innings, but was chased in the fifth after the top of the Mets lineup laced four straight hits in their third time around the order. He’ll look to get back on track in his next scheduled start against the Nationals.

Contreras obliterated his home run at 110.2 mph and 421 feet. That was a nice welcome to the big leagues moment for Reds’ rookie starter Chase Petty. Overall, Contreras has done well to put an ugly start to the season behind him with an .824 OPS over his last 15 games and is currently riding a 13 game on-base streak. That is the Contreras we know and expected to see this season. It’s good to finally have him back.

Where has this version of Báez been? It’s sure fun to see now, and fun to see him appear to enjoy the sport of baseball again. With the two-run homer, he’s now slashing .300/.337/.467 with three roundtrippers and 14 RBI over 90 at-bats. He’s gone deep in three straight games, and while it’s understandable if fantasy managers are skeptical, it’s also not crazy to think he’s capable of being a fantasy helper in 2025. Weirder things have happened, folks.

Smith hit a homer to bring the Rangers to within a dozen in the ninth inning. Still counts. The 27-year-old has been one of the few effective hitters for the Texas offense with a .296/.380/.457 slash with three homers and seven RBI in his 81 at-bats.

Fortunately, it sounds like the 32-year-old superstar was able to avoid any significant injury on Friday after getting injured while attempting to evade a throw at first base while hustling out an infield single in the third inning. He may wind up needing a couple of days off, or to serve as the Guardians’ designated hitter for a few games, but it doesn’t sound like he should be looking at a stint on the injured list. Fantasy managers can now exhale.
