Kyle Freeland SP | COL
Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Gives up six runs in no-decision
Freeland did not factor into the decision in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Reds, allowing six runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four over 4.1 innings.
It was another rough outing for Freeland, who allowed at least three baserunners in three of his five innings. He's given up at least five earned runs in three of his last four outings and has given up 20 earned on the season, which is second most among qualified starters in the National League behind German Marquez (21). Freeland will look to turn things around in his next start, which is lined up for next week on the road against the Giants.

Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN
Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Productive night at plate in loss
Suarez went 1-for-2 with a double, two runs scored and two walks in Friday's loss to Atlanta.
Suarez has really struggled recently, so it was encouraging to see him put together a productive outing at the plate. Over his last 14 contests, the slugging third baseman is hitting just .180 (9-for-50) with one home run, three doubles, four RBI and six runs scored. Suarez, who entered Friday's action with an elite 58.6 percent hard-hit rate, hit five homers over his first five games of the campaign, which presents a glimpse of the type of power upside he offers in fantasy leagues in spite of his recent slump.

Austin Riley 3B | ATL
Braves' Austin Riley: Continues torrid April in win
Riley went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a walk in Friday's win over Arizona.
Riley delivered a pair of two-out RBI, one in the second inning and another in the eighth to put Atlanta in front 8-1. The star third baseman posted his 11th multi-hit effort of the campaign, with each of them coming in the month of April. Over his last 16 games, Riley is batting .388 (26-for-67) with five home runs, three doubles, 15 RBI and 10 runs scored.

Michael Toglia 1B | CIN
Rockies' Michael Toglia: Drives in three runs Friday
Toglia went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Friday's 8-7 loss to Cincinnati.
Toglia tied things up at 4-4 in the third inning on a two-run, ground-rule double, and he drove in a third run in the fifth on an RBI single. It was Toglia's second multi-hit game of the year and the second time he's logged at least three RBI in a game. He's gone 9-for-34 with two walks, two runs scored, one home run and eight RBI over his last 10 games.

Jordan Beck RF | COL
Rockies' Jordan Beck: Belts two solo homers Friday
Beck went 2-for-3 with two walks and two solo home runs in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Reds.
Beck continued to mash the ball out of the park Friday. He now has five homers on the year, all of which have come over his last three games. He hasn't just been exploiting Coors Field, either -- the first three long balls came at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, which isn't known as a hitter's park. Beck's recent display of power could keep him in the Rockies' lineup even when Brenton Doyle (personal) returns.

Zac Gallen SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Takes fourth loss Friday
Gallen (1-4) took the loss Friday against Atlanta after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out six.
Gallen kept the hard contact in check to a degree -- it was just his second start this year in which didn't give up a home run -- but he yielded two RBI doubles during Atlanta's three-run second inning. The right-hander was able to tie a season high with 103 pitches, but it was his fourth consecutive outing with multiple walks allowed. Gallen has a disappointing 5.57 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 35:15 K:BB over 32.1 frames in 2025, and things won't get much easier in his next scheduled appearance on the road versus the Mets.

Brendan Donovan 3B | SEA
Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Continues hot streak Friday
Donovan went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI single in Friday's 3-2 win over the Brewers.
Donovan drove in what was ultimately the game-winning run in the fifth inning, with his single to left field off Chad Patrick bringing Lars Nootbaar home. Donovan has logged at least one hit in 21 of 24 games this season, and his .366 batting average over 102 plate appearances leads the National League.

Chris Sale SP | ATL
Braves' Chris Sale: Five innings of one-run ball in win
Sale (1-2) earned the win Friday against the Diamondbacks after allowing one run on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out four.
Sale gave up just one extra-base hit, a third-inning Corbin Carroll triple that he left stranded, and he also notably escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning. Although he fanned a season-low four, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner got 11 whiffs, threw a season-high 104 pitches and yielded fewer than two runs for the first time in six starts this year. Sale now has a 5.40 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 36:9 K:BB across 28.1 innings, and he's set to face the Rockies in a tough spot at hitter-friendly Coors Field in his next projected outing.

Ryan Helsley RP | BAL
Cardinals' Ryan Helsley: Notches fourth save
Helsley earned the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Brewers, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not record a strikeout or a walk.
Helsley was brought in for the ninth inning to preserve a one-run lead. He got around an Isaac Collins leadoff single by inducing a double play, and Helsley secured the save after Caleb Durbin lined out to center field. Helsley has recorded a save in three of his last four outings and has a 2.00 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over nine innings this season.

Fernando Tatis Jr. RF | SD
Padres' Fernando Tatis: Tallies another multi-hit game
Tatis went 2-for-4 with a double in Friday's loss to the Rays.
Tatis was the only Padre to record an extra-base hit Friday, and he submitted his 11th multi-hit game of the campaign in the process. Through 110 plate appearances in 2025, the star outfielder is slashing .340/.409/.629 with eight home runs, 17 RBI, 23 runs scored and seven stolen bases. Tatis ranks second in the National League in batting average and third in OPS across his 25 outings.
