The Tigers probably would have non-tendered McKinstry over the winter had he not agreed to a deal before the deadline. They’re awfully glad he did now, as he’s come through with a .314/.424/.471 line while getting a whole lot more time than expected in the early going. We’re not at all optimistic that he’ll keep it up, but it’s been a fun time thus far.

Greene, 24, drove in three runs with the two homers. The first was a solo blast off Ronel Blanco, the second a two-run shot off Kaleb Ort that made the score 8-5 Astros in the eighth. Greene has gone through ups and downs already in his 2025 campaign, but this helped improve his line to .234/.280/.441 with six homers and 16 RBI through 28 games.

Carpenter took Ronel Blanco deep for a two-run shot that gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead in the third. The 27-year-old power-hitter has six homers on the season with a .508 slugging percentage. He’s also hit .270 on the year, but fantasy managers would like to see that .298 on-base percentage improve for more chances to score runs.

Flaherty allowed a pair of two-run homers; one to Christian Walker in the fourth and another to Jose Altuve two innings later. Minus those roundtrippers the right-hander pitched fine, but it’s hard to erase a pair of two-run blasts.

The 31-year-old infielder did his damage in the second inning of this one, smacking a two-out, RBI double off of Max Meyer that increased the Mariners’ early lead to 4-1. He then tacked on a two-out RBI single in the fourth inning that made it a 5-1 ballgame. Polanco was also hit by a pitch in the contest, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances. He has been terrific through the first month of the season, slashing .377/.405/.739 with seven homers, 20 RBI and a stolen base.

Polanco hit went back-to-back with Julio Rodriguez in the first inning, and hit another solo bomb in the fourth. That brings his homer total to seven, and three of those have come in the last two games. The 31-year-old has been sensational to open 2025 even while not able to hit from the right side because of his side issues, and to say he’s improved over his disappointing 2024 campaign is quite the understatement.

Polanco got the Mariners back in the game with a three-run homer to turn a 6-1 deficit into a 6-4 game. The 31-year-old has looked so much more effective to begin 2025 than he ever looked in 2024, and he’s up to five homers, 16 RBI and an outstanding .982 OPS. It’s time to take this seriously, if you haven’t already.
