It appears to be a routine day off for Cruz, who is hitting .269 (7-for-26) with three homers and three steals over his last seven games. He’s putting the ball in the air more often and hitting the ball harder this season, which is a recipe for fantasy stardom. It’ll be Ke’Bryan Hayes moving up to the leadoff spot with Alexander Canario in center field.

Bart should have been 3-for-5. With runners on second and third and one out in the ninth inning, he laced a groundball in the hole at short that Nick Allen had to dive to stop. With the game on the line, Allen got up and threw home, too late to get the runner, but the official scoring ruled it a fielder’s choice, even though there was little chance Allen would have even thrown Bart out at first base. Still, Bart is hitting .291/.411/.379 on the season with 10 RBI and has been a rock-solid option in two-catcher leagues this year.

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.

Santana was brought in to face the bottom three hitters in Atlanta’s order in a tie game in the ninth inning and earned a win when the Pirates walked it off in the bottom of the inning. Santana has now pitched the ninth inning three days in a row after the Pirates made a managerial change. None of those appearances were against the middle of the order; that role has gone to David Bednar, but it’s clear that Santana will be in a position to pick up a few wins and saves even if Bednar keeps that high-leverage role.

The dynamic 30-year-old outfielder roped a one-out double into center off of Tyler Anderson in the fifth inning, then swiped third base and scored on an RBI single by Ryan Mountcastle. Mullins also singled off of Connor Brogdon in the sixth inning and rode home on Gunnar Henderson’s two-run blast. On the season, he’s now slashing .229/.340/.435 with seven long balls, 21 RBI and six swipes through his first 37 games.

Carter is now 6-for-21 (.273) since being promoted, with one home run and one stolen base. He has just one extra-base hit and has been sitting against lefties, but it’s a solid start for the 22-year-old, who has enough upside to be scooped up in most formats
