Lee is at third base and batting eighth on Sunday against the Tigers in his season debut. The 24-year-old former top prospect missed the start of the regular season with back tightness, but he’s ready to go after a brief minor league rehab assignment. There’s plenty of upside here, but it’s going to be challenging for fantasy managers to find roster space for him outside of extremely deep mixed leagues and AL-only formats.

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.

Lopez gave up five hits, walked two and struck out six. It was a far cry from the dominant 11-strikeout performance he turned in his last time out against the Orioles. Lopez’ 2.77 ERA this season isn’t quite supported by his 3.05 xFIP, though it isn’t far off. Fantasy managers have to be pleased with his strikeout production overall as he’s recorded 43 strikeouts in 39 innings. Lopez is lined up to start again next weekend against the Brewers on the road.

Larnach hit a 108.5 mph double off Logan Webb in the first, but the Twins couldn’t capitalize then. The two-run homer came in the third, and Minnesota’s pitching staff made a 2-1 lead hold up over the rest of the evening. Larnach is batting .232/.313/.380 with six homers and 20 RBI through 39 games. It’s not great for a guy who is spending a lot of time DHing, but it seems unlikely that the Twins will be able to do better.

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.

Vientos needed this one. With Brett Baty back up from Triple-A and hitting well, Vientos needed to incentivize the Mets to keep him in the lineup. He responded with his fifth home run and 17th RBI of the season. Vientos has continued to show strong plate discipline metrics all year and is getting good pitches to hit, but is simply not executing. With Luisangel Acuna also playing well and capable of playing third base, Vientos needs to take advantage of the favorable counts he’s been getting himself into if he wants to keep a full-time job.
