  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Extends hitting streak to six games

    Bohm went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Saturday's win over Miami.

    Although it's still been a quiet start to the season overall, Bohm is beginning to pick things up at the plate lately. The corner infielder is riding a modest six-game hitting streak, during which he's batting .304 (7-for-23) with two doubles, three RBI, three runs scored and one stolen base. Bohm has struck out just three times during this stretch and entered Saturday's action with an elite 34.1 percent squared-up rate, per Statcast, so fantasy managers should remain patient with the 2024 All-Star.

  • Jordan Romano RP | COL

    Phillies' Jordan Romano: Tagged for six runs in ninth inning

    Romano gave up six runs on six hits (two home runs) while recording two outs Saturday against the Marlins.

    Romano was brought in while the Phillies nursed a comfortable 11-4 lead in the ninth inning, but he managed to let the Marlins right back into the game. He gave up consecutive hits before Dane Myers lifted a three-run homer, and Graham Pauley then doubled to plate another run. Finally, Liam Hicks tagged Romano for a two-run blast before the right-hander was mercifully pulled. Romano's showing could drop him even further down Philadelphia's bullpen pecking order, as he's now allowed 13 runs over his first 7.2 innings of the year.

  • Luis Garcia 1B | NYY

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Perfect at the plate in win

    Garcia went 2-for-2 with three walks, four runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 12-11 win over the Rockies.

    Garcia was a pest all game, scoring four runs and swiping his third bag of the season. It was an encouraging effort for the 24-year-old, who is slashing just .206/.271/.302 with one home run, five RBI, 10 runs scored and three steals across 70 plate appearances this season. While his slow start and tendency to sit against lefties have been discouraging, a solid 6:8 BB:K suggests he can turn things around.

  • Kyle Finnegan RP | DET

    Nationals' Kyle Finnegan: Secures seventh save

    Finnegan earned the save in Saturday's 12-11 win against the Rockies, allowing one run on one hit and one walk with three strikeouts in the ninth inning.

    Finnegan was called upon to protect a 12-10 lead in the ninth inning and made things interesting, surrendering an RBI triple to Mickey Moniak before ending the game with a strikeout. It was the second time through eight outings this year that Finnegan has been scored upon. On the year, the 33-year-old is a perfect 7-for-7 in save chances with a 2.08 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB across 8.2 innings.

  • James Wood RF | WAS

    Nationals' James Wood: Homers, drives in four in win

    Wood went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 12-11 win over the Rockies.

    Wood gave the Nationals a 7-2 lead with a three-run blast that traveled 426 feet in the fourth inning and added an RBI single in the seventh. Over his past 10 games, the 22-year-old has gone deep five times with two three-hit efforts. He's slashing an impressive .253/.356/.573 with seven home runs, 17 RBI, 13 runs scored and three steals across 87 plate appearances so far in 2025.

  • Rockies' Chase Dollander: Crushed in loss

    Dollander (1-2) took the loss against the Nationals on Saturday, allowing nine runs (six earned) on nine hits and two walks with five strikeouts over four innings.

    It was a disastrous outing for Dollander, who surrendered four home runs and 11 total hard-hit balls. The long ball has plagued the rookie, as he now leads the majors with eight home runs allowed across three starts. He'll carry a 7.36 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB through 14.2 innings into a road matchup with the Royals next week.

  • Dylan Crews RF | WAS

    Nationals' Dylan Crews: Homers twice in win

    Crews went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double, four RBI and four runs scored in Saturday's 12-11 win over the Rockies.

    Crews launched his first two home runs of the season, both clearing 400 feet. It was a much needed breakout effort for the 23-year-old, and he has now hit safely in four straight games without striking out. While he's still hitting an uninspiring .177 with two homers, four RBI, 11 runs scored and four steals across 65 plate appearances, Saturday's performance offered a glimpse of his potential to turn things around.

  • MacKenzie Gore SP | TEX

    Nationals' MacKenzie Gore: Strikes out 13 in win

    Gore (2-2) earned the win against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with 13 strikeouts over six innings.

    Gore surrendered a two-run homer in the second inning but was otherwise dominant in the challenging environment of Coors Field. He racked up a whopping 28 swinging strikes on 104 pitches, including 14 on his curveball, and now has two 13-strikeout performances through five starts this season. He'll carry a 3.41 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 45:8 K:BB across 29 innings into a home matchup with the Orioles next week.

  • TJ Friedl CF | CIN

    Reds' TJ Friedl: Perfect at the plate in loss

    Friedl went 4-for-4 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.

    Friedl was a thorn in the Orioles' side all game and has now tallied multiple hits in three straight contests. The 29-year-old continues to hit atop the Reds' lineup and owns a .307/.361/.387 slash with one home run, nine RBI, 11 runs scored and three steals across 84 plate appearances this season.

  • Paul Skenes SP | PIT

    Pirates' Paul Skenes: Allows two runs in loss

    Skenes (2-2) took the loss against the Guardians on Saturday. He allowed two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four across seven innings.

    Skenes got the start Saturday despite operating on just four days of rest. He gave up the first run of the game on a Steven Kwan single in the third inning before yielding a solo homer to Kyle Manzardo in the seventh. Skenes bounced back to strike out two of the last three batters he faced, but he wasn't able to get enough run support from the Pirates' offense to avoid the loss. Skenes leads the National League with 31.1 innings tossed across his five starts, and he ranks third and eighth in WHIP (0.80) and strikeouts (30), respectively. He's slated to make his next start next week on the road against the Dodgers.
