Rodríguez is going to need more than a couple days off after suffering a serious cut during Monday’s contest against the Nationals. The 24-year-old should rejoin Pittsburgh’s catching mix by the end of April.

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 28-year-old backstop finally got the Snakes on the board with a run-scoring double off of Ben Casparius in the seventh inning, pulling them to within four runs at 5-1. That would be as close as they would get. On the season, he’s now slashing .205/.286/.341 with a homer and five RBI in his first 52 plate appearances.

The 27-year-old backstop hit a sacrifice fly off of Tyler Anderson in the fifth inning that tied the game at 2-2. He then plated a run with a sacrifice bunt during the O’s three-run uprising in the sixth inning. He’s just 1-for-9 (.111) since joining the Orioles at the end of April, but at least he now has a couple of RBI to his credit.

A nice send off for Bud Black, who was let go after the game. Goodman’s homer was his first since Apr. 28, and the triple was his first since 2023. The double, though, might have been the most interesting of his hits. His line drive on Wandy Peralta left the bat at 116.2 mph, a new career high for him by 1.5 mph. It seems like a good sign for his future. However, with six road games coming up, this isn’t the time to pick up Goodman in fantasy leagues.
