Palmquist (0-1) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over four innings as he took the loss Friday versus the Diamondbacks.

A steady stream of traffic on the bases and productive outs by Arizona made Palmquist's work more difficult in his major-league debut. He threw 48 of 76 pitches for strikes, and it didn't help that the Rockies offered just two hits and four walks without scoring a run to support him. Palmquist posted a 3.82 ERA over 35.1 innings with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to his call-up, so it's likely asking a lot of the 24-year-old to step in with excellent performances right away. The southpaw is tentatively projected for his home debut versus the Phillies next week, which makes him incredibly risky for fantasy managers.

Moreno went 3-for-3 with two doubles, one walk, one RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rockies.

Moreno has a trio of multi-hit efforts over his last six games, going 9-for-25 (.360) with five RBI in that span. The catcher's recent success at the plate is helping him bounce back after a rough second half of April. He's now batting .259 with a .661 OPS, one home run, 10 RBI, 19 runs scored, one stolen base and five doubles over 36 contests. While he is hitting better lately, Moreno is largely struggling even more than usual in the power department, though his contact skill remains his best tool.

Perdomo went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, three RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rockies.

Perdomo supplied his first two RBI with productive outs -- a groundout in the second inning and a sacrifice fly in the fourth -- before adding an RBI double in the eighth. The shortstop is putting together a strong May, batting .354 (17-for-48) over 14 games this month while adding 10 RBI, three steals and an 8:9 BB:K. Overall, Perdomo slashing .294/.397/.458 with five home runs, 10 steals, 34 RBI, 21 runs scored and 10 doubles across 44 contests despite often hitting in the bottom third of the order since Ketel Marte returned from a hamstring injury May 2.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rockies.

Naylor is now on an eight-game hitting streak, and the last three have been multi-hit efforts. He's 11-for-34 (.324) during the streak, adding three extra-base hits, four RBI and two steals. The first baseman has been at his best to begin his first season with Arizona, offering a high batting average with modest pop and some surprising speed. He's slashing .304/.370/.458 with eight steals, five home runs, 27 RBI, 23 runs scored and 11 doubles across 44 contests.

Carroll went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rockies.

Carroll has three multi-hit efforts over his last four games, going 7-for-17 (.412) with three homers and two steals in that span. The outfielder continues to put together an impressive bounce-back campaign after his struggles in 2024. He's now at a .287/.359/.612 slash line with 14 home runs, seven steals, 31 RBI, 37 runs scored, nine doubles and five triples across 45 contests while routinely batting first or second for the Diamondbacks.

Burnes (3-1) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out 10 over six shutout innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Friday.

The 10 strikeouts were a season high for Burnes, who has kept runs off the board in each of his last two starts. He's covered 13 innings in that span while posting a 15:5 K:BB, though the lowly Rockies weren't able to take advantage of the free passes. Burnes is now at a 2.56 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 43:22 K:BB across 45.2 innings over eight starts this season. The 30-year-old's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Dodgers. He posted seven shutout innings against them in his previous outing.

Contreras went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Royals.

It was the sixth multi-hit showing of the month already for Contreras, who extended his on-base streak to 15 games in the process. During this streak, the veteran slugger is batting .365 (19-for-52) with four home runs, four doubles, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored. After moving away from the catcher position to first base for the Cardinals in 2025, Contreras has been able to appear in 44 of St. Louis' 45 games so far.

Herrera went 3-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Royals.

Despite playing just 13 games so far, Herrera already has a trio of three-hit performances in 2025. Over his first 50 plate appearances, the 24-year-old backstop is slashing a robust .419/.480/.907 with five home runs, six doubles, 18 RBI and 12 runs scored. Although those figures are unsustainable, Herrera is certainly worth a look in the majority of mixed leagues for those in need of help at catcher.

Wood went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Friday's 4-3 win over Baltimore.

Wood knocked in an RBI single in the sixth inning before tying things up at 3-3 in the eighth, when he took Keegan Akin deep to center field for a 421-foot solo homer. It was Wood's 11th multi-hit game of the season, and since the beginning of May he has slashed .317/379/.533 with two stolen bases, three home runs and six RBI over 66 plate appearances.

Wagaman went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Rays.

Wagaman logged three hits for the third time this season, also tallying multiple knocks for the seventh time in 2025. Through 45 at-bats in May, the infielder is hitting .222 with three doubles, one triple, four RBI and two runs scored. Wagaman has consistently hit in the heart of Miami's batting order this year, but the lack of talent around him should continue to restrict his overall fantasy potential.
