May allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters in 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Monday.

May appeared to be en route to a win after completing five scoreless innings, but things took a turn for the worse for him in the sixth. In that frame, the right-hander allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base, and they all came around to score before the inning was over (though two of the runs charged to May crossed the plate following his departure). This was still a better performance for May after he gave up a career-worst seven runs over five innings against the Cubs in his previous trip to the mound, but over his past two contests, May's ERA has jumped from a sparkling 1.06 to a less-impressive 3.95.

Goodman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to Atlanta on Monday.

Goodman helped Colorado get off to a fast start with a three-run blast to left field in the first inning, but that was the final time the Rockies got on the scoreboard. Goodman has been one of the few bright spots in what has been a horrendous 4-24 start to the season for Colorado -- he is tied for the team lead with five long balls and ranks first on the Rockies with 14 RBI and 15 runs while slashing .256/.350/.478. Goodman's production has been especially valuable in fantasy given his status as a backstop.

Harris went 1-for-4 with a two-run double, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 6-3 win against Colorado.

Harris came up big in the fifth inning, recording a two-out, two-run double to break a 3-3 tie and chase Colorado starter Ryan Feltner. The star outfielder had scored the tying run one frame earlier after reaching on a fielder's choice, swiping second base and subsequently crossing the plate on a pair of infield singles. Harris' slash line is still a modest .243/.263/.374, but he's been coming on strong with a .350 batting average, nine RBI and four steals over his past 10 contests.

Feltner (0-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Monday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 4.2 innings.

Feltner was handed a three-run lead after half an inning, but he couldn't hold onto it. The righty did manage to make it through two scoreless frames, but Atlanta struck for two runs in the third inning and another in the fourth before Michael Harris chased Feltner with a two-out, two-run double in the fifth. All told, Feltner gave up a season-high 10 hits, and this was the second time in his past three appearances that he's yielded five runs. Feltner did have a bit of bad luck Monday -- five of Atlanta's 10 hits left the bat at less than 75 mph -- and he was at least able to grind through 95 pitches after having his start pushed back from Sunday due to back tightness.

Iglesias notched a save against the Rockies on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.

Iglesias had a comfortable three-run lead to work with when he entered in the ninth frame, and he cruised through three outs, needing just nine pitches (eight of which were strikes) to secure the save despite giving up a two-out double. It was a promising bounce-back for the veteran closer after he allowed four runs over two innings across his previous two appearances. Iglesias holds an unimpressive 5.73 ERA on the campaign, but he has a more promising 10:2 K:BB and 1.09 WHIP over 11 frames and has been successful on five of seven save chances.

Elder (1-1) earned the win over Colorado on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four batters over six innings.

Elder got off to a rocky start when he fell behind on a three-run homer by Hunter Goodman in the first inning, but the righty hurler bounced back and didn't allow another run for the remainder of what ended up being a quality start. He wasn't overpowering in the outing, notching just seven whiffs and four punchouts, but Elder's performance was good enough to net him his first victory of 2025. His ERA still stands at a poor 5.33, but Elder has been better of late, giving up a combined four runs across 12 frames over his post two starts.

Martinez (1-3) yielded one run on five hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out three and earning a win over the Cardinals.

Martinez coughed up an RBI double to Nolan Arenado in the first inning but settled in for his first quality start and win of the 2025 campaign. Martinez was fairly efficient, throwing 76 pitches (45 strikes) and generating three double plays. He dropped his ERA to 4.68 alongside a 26:11 K:BB through 32.2 frames. Martinez is lined up for a home start against Washington this weekend.

Lux went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and one RBI in Monday's win over St. Louis.

Lux singled and scored in the fourth inning before adding an RBI double in the sixth. He posted a .616 OPS through his first 16 games this season but has since turned a corner. Over his last 11 games, Lux has produced seven multi-hit performances -- including three straight -- to boost his season OPS to .911 through 105 plate appearances.

Pallante (2-2) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Reds.

Cincinnati chipped away at Pallante throughout his start by plating runs in the third, fourth and sixth innings. It was Pallante's first quality start since April 11. However, he's given up three or more runs in three straight starts after allowing just four total runs through his first three outings. His ERA sits at 4.13 with a 20:12 K:BB through 32.2 frames. Pallante is lined up for a home matchup against the Mets this weekend.

Pagan threw a perfect inning to earn a save against the Cardinals on Monday.

Pagan quickly rolled through St. Louis' 2-3-4 hitters on just seven pitches. He's now converted four consecutive saves and eight of his nine save chances this season. No other Reds bullpen arm has recorded a save since April 7. Pagan lowered his ERA to 2.51 with a 14:2 K:BB through 14.1 frames.
