Hurtubise started just one of the Reds’ first 16 games while taking the roster spot opened up by Austin Hays’ injury and wound up 1-for-7, though he also walked once and was hit by pitches twice. He’ll head back to Louisville and wait for another opportunity to materialize.

Marte got two starts during his five-game stint as Matt McLain’s replacement on the Reds roster and went 1-for-6 with a steal. He was off to nice start in Triple-A, batting .353/.425/.529 in nine games, and if he can keep that up for a few more weeks, the Reds might be inclined to give him a real opportunity.

Rodríguez suffered a finger laceration last night. The Pirates have been going with an extra position player since Joey Bart hurt his back, so Shugart’s addition will put them back up to 13 pitches. If Rodríguez hadn’t gotten hurt, Henry Davis probably would have returned to Triple-A within the next couple of days.

Some Triple-A depth for Baltimore. Tromp opened the season as Atlanta’s backup catcher, but he was DFA’d and opted for free agency after the Braves chose Drake Baldwin over him with Sean Murphy back. The 30-year-old Tromp has hit .224/.235/.385 in 162 plate appearances over parts of six major league seasons.

He’s not yet ready to play the field, but at least he’ll be back hitting. While most make it back from torn ACLs in 12 months or a bit less, Mauricio has struggled to overcome the injury he sustained playing winter ball. He could get a look as a utilityman in the second half if he shows he’s healthy.

It will be his third straight start against a right-hander. No word for sure on if it will come at Brett Baty’s expense, but that seems the likeliest scenario. As things stand now, Acuña probably has the better chance than Baty of sticking around once Jeff McNeil returns.

Alvarez went just 1-for-10 in three games with Low-A St. Lucie, but he stayed healthy and caught 20 innings, and that’s all that matters. He’ll get in a few rehab games at Double-A, and then the Mets will decide if they want to activate him or give him some time at Triple-A.

It’s been a really strong start for Clase, who is slashing .382/.523/.411 in 34 at-bats. He has walked nine times and struck out seven on the season, which has led to his superb on-base percentage, and he’s making those trips on the bases count with six steals. The issue is that he’s currently blocked by Myles Straw and Daulton Varsho (shoulder) is nearing a return to Toronto as well, which will make it hard for Clase to find a spot on the MLB roster.

Beede made 13 appearances for Cleveland in 2024, allowing 13 earned runs on 16 hits in 14 innings while striking out 18 and walking nine. He has reportedly been working out at the Lion’s Den, a baseball training facility in Houston, and working out for MLB scouts. He has shifted primarily to a bullpen role since 2019 and could eventually pitch himself into some big league innings this season.

Goodman got the Rockies back into the game with a two-run homer off Anthony Benda to make it 5-3. The 25-year-old has shown some solid pop with four homers and a .468 slugging percentage over 51 at-bats, but he’s essentially a one-category player for fantasy purposes.

Betts gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead with no one out against the ever-so-ineffective Antonio Senzatela in the first inning. The 32-year-old is now in double-digits in RBI, and he’s homered four times with a .994 OPS. He also is a very good bowler.

Ohtani is now up to five homers on the season, but it’s the first time he’s been able to go deep since April 7; a major power outage — for him, anyway. The 30-year-old has done nothing over the first 17 games of 2025 to suggest he won’t be as good as any hitter in baseball, even with a week without dingers.

By allowing the run on a Kyle Farmer double, May’s ERA has erupted all the way up to 1.06. His control was the best he’s shown all year, as he didn’t walk anyone and landed 52-of-76 pitches for strikes. May has been impressive to begin 2025, and he doesn’t look like he wants to give up his rotation spot. His next outing comes against the Rangers on Sunday.

Scott put the go-ahead run at the plate with one out, but he was able to strike out Jacob Stallings and got Ezequiel Tovar to ground out to end the contest. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for the 30-year-old, but he has still been able to pick up five saves with a 3.00 ERA.

Need to get your batting average up? Make sure you’re in the lineup against Antonio Senzatela. He’s now allowed 36 hits over his four starts, and that’s over only 18 innings. Two of those hits allowed were homers; a two-run shot by Mookie Betts and a solo blast by Shohei Ohtani. Senzatela will either give up 15 hits or throw a no-hitter against the Nationals over the weekend because that’s how this sport works.

Busch continues to impress in 2025, and he’s up to four homers and 12 RBI over 58 at-bats with the two-run shot in a blowout loss Monday night. The former first-round pick is showing he’s capable of being a starting first baseman in fantasy formats in 2025 and beyond.

The stolen base was the seventh of the year for Crow-Armstrong, but he did get caught stealing for the first time. Hard to complain about that success rate. The outfielder bumps up his slash to .257/.313/.432 with the three-hit night, and that sort of undersells how well Crow-Armstrong has played over the first few weeks of the campaign.

Taillon allowed three hits in the contest, and he issued one free pass while firing 63-of-89 pitches for strikes. He gave up a solo homer to Fernando Tatis Jr., but he limited the hard contact for most of the contest in a solid outing against a competent San Diego lineup. Taillon still has a 5.40 ERA, but he’s pitched better than those numbers after his ugly first start of the campaign. He’ll face the Diamondbacks next weekend.

All four hits were singles. That sees the 28-year-old’s batting average shoot up to .391. He’s also slugging .563 with seven extra-base hits, so he hasn’t been a dink-and-dunk hitter to procure that average. Donovan could be in for a breakout campaign, but it’s just as likely — if not more so — that there’s some regression coming soon. There’s regression coming either way, because no one is hitting .391 in 2025.

Arenado doubled twice off 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.

Valdez was exceptional against the Mariners last week. He was less-than-spectacular Monday, It’s worth noting that five over the 10 hits he allowed went for extra bases, and he struck out just three while landing 55-of-89 pitches for strikes. Valdez has alternated clunkers with scoreless outings to open 2025, and he’ll hope to do the same after this poor outing against the Padres on Saturday.

Gray wasn’t throwing the ball past the Houston lineup Monday, as he generated only six swings and misses over 92 pitches. He was effective regardless, as he allowed just three hits with one walk, and only one of those knocks went for extra-bases. Gray has allowed just a single run over his last two starts, and the seven scoreless lowers his ERA to 3.13. He’ll look to keep up the good work over the weekend in a scheduled start vs. the Mets.

Peña, 27, hit a three-run homer in the ninth, which is a good time to hit one. It’s not quite as impactful when you still trail by five runs, but fantasy managers shouldn’t care. Peña now has three homers, seven RBI and an OPS of .667 through 58 at-bats.

It’s already the fifth homer of the season for Carpenter. The 27-year-old also singled to improve his slash to .269/.304/.596. He remains a vastly underrated power source, even knowing he’s not going to have much success — or playing time — against southpaw hurlers.
