Adames went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in Monday's 10-4 win at Philadelphia.

Adames cleared the right-center field wall in the second inning to collect his first long ball after joining San Francisco on a seven-year, $182 million deal. The 39-year-old shortstop has been cold to open 2025, slashing .203/.287/.297 across 72 plate appearances, but perhaps this performance will get him going.

Siri was diagnosed Monday with a fractured left tibia and is expected to miss extended time, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The Mets sent Siri for additional testing Monday to determine the severity of an injury that the team had previously labeled as shin soreness. With an MRI and CT scan confirming that Siri suffered structural damage to his lower leg, the outfielder will likely be placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday and seems likely to miss multiple weeks, and he could be in store for an even lengthier absence being on tap if he needs surgery to address the injury. Tyrone Taylor will likely serve as the Mets' unquestioned everyday center fielder while Siri is on the mend.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-5 with a homer, a double, three RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 10-4 victory over the Phillies.

The 34-year-old occupied the leadoff spot and provided some late offense to seal the win for San Francisco. After popping a 387-foot, two-run homer in the seventh, Yastrzemski returned in the ninth to crack a run-scoring double. The veteran outfielder is off to a torrid start, slashing .311/.436/.600 with three home runs, four doubles and nine RBI and runs scored apiece across 55 plate appearances.

Holmes (2-1) picked up the win Monday against the Twins, allowing one run on two hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out eight.

The hard-throwing right-hander got off to an impressive start Monday, punching out the side in the first inning, and it wasn't until the fifth frame where Holmes lost his control a bit. Christian Vazquez scratched Minnesota's only run of the game across on a sacrifice fly, which came after a hit-by-pitch, two free passes and a pair of wild pitches. Holmes' transition into a starting role has yielded inconsistent results, as he'll take a 3.66 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB through 19.2 innings (four starts) into his next scheduled start at home against the Cardinals over the weekend.

Roupp (1-1) earned the win Monday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out eight.

Despite a shaky first inning in which the Phillies plated three runs, Roupp impressed in this 101-pitch outing over which he generated an incredible 20 whiffs. After the three-run first frame, the right-hander settled in and didn't allow another run until a Nick Castellanos solo homer in the fifth. Roupp now sports a 4.80 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB over 15 innings. The 26-year-old is currently slated to make his next start on the road against the Angels this weekend.

Alexander (1-1) took the loss Monday against the Tigers after giving up eight runs (four earned) on six hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out two.

Alexander threw just one clean inning Monday, but his throwing error in the fourth inning at least resulted in each of Detroit's four runs scored in the frame to go unearned in the box score. Although the error also prevented his ERA from ballooning to a much higher figure, Alexander still holds a 4.32 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and a troublesome 14:10 K:BB over 16.2 innings (three starts) to begin the season. A banged-up Brewers pitching staff should keep the left-hander in the rotation for at least one more turn, and Alexander is tentatively scheduled to take the mound against the Athletics this weekend.

Walker (1-1) took the loss Monday against San Francisco, allowing six runs (four earned) on six hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out five.

The Philadelphia right-hander finally gave up an earned run, as the Giants plated all six runs in a chaotic second inning that was fueled by four hits, a walk and an error. Despite the less-than-stellar outing, Walker still managed to generate a solid 10 whiffs out of his 99 total pitches. His ERA now stands at 2.30 after 15.2 innings, but his rotation spot is precarious as Ranger Suarez (back) is making rehab starts and likely to return soon. Walker should get at least one more turn in the rotation, which currently lines up to be against Miami at home this weekend.

Holmes (1-1) yielded three runs on two hits and two walks over 7.2 innings Monday, striking out four and earning a win over the Blue Jays.

Holmes was perfect through four innings and did not allow a hit until Myles Straw's solo homer in the sixth. Toronto then plated two more runs in the eighth. Holmes threw 63 of 94 pitches for strikes in the longest start of his MLB career. Through four outings this season, he owns a 3.78 ERA with a 15:10 K:BB. Holmes is currently in line for a home matchup with the Twins this weekend.

Skenes (2-1) earned the win Monday against the Nationals, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out six.

After allowing a career-worst five runs in his last outing against St. Louis, Skenes looked much sharper in this 99-pitch start. The reigning NL Rookie of the Year induced 10 whiffs in his first career regular-season matchup with the Nationals. Skenes has continued to be a fantasy ace, pitching to a 2.96 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 26:3 K:BB across 24.1 innings. The right-hander lines up to make his next start against the Guardians at home this weekend.

Riley went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Monday's win over Toronto.

Riley knocked a two-run shot in the third inning and added a three-run homer in the fifth. After starting the season in a 5-for-35 (.143) slump, the slugging third baseman has caught fire. He's gone 14-for-31 (.452) with six extra-base hits and eight RBI over his last seven games. During that span, Riley has produced six multi-hit performances.
