Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's loss to San Francisco.

Schwarber put the Phillies on the board in the third inning with a two-run shot off reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell. It was his fourth homer against a lefty this season, and he's now batting a lofty .333 (27-for-71) against southpaw hurlers. Overall, Schwarber's .359 OBP this season is on pace for the second-highest mark of his career.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a run, an RBI and a pair of stolen bases in a loss to the Giants on Monday.

Rojas knocked a fourth-inning RBI single and proceeded to steal two bases but was left stranded at third. The outfielder finished with his first multi-hit game in over two weeks amidst a poor month of May during which he's batting only .203 (13-for-64). Despite his struggles reaching base this season -- Rojas' OBP sits at a meager .269 -- he's managed to carve out some fantasy value in deep leagues with 13 stolen bases in 14 attempts.

Rodriguez (1-0) pitched two perfect innings and struck out one to earn the win over the Phillies on Monday.

Rodriguez entered the game with the Giants behind by a run in the fifth inning, but he was sharp and the offense pulled ahead while the rookie right-hander was in the game. After allowing six runs (three earned) over his first three appearances, Rodriguez is riding a 7.2-inning scoreless streak over his last five appearances. He's at a 1.76 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB over 15.1 innings this season, and he's also picked up one hold. He has the ability to cover multiple innings, but that is likely to limit him to mostly low-leverage work despite his excellent ratios so far.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Reds.

Goldschmidt has homered three times over his last two games, though it's still too early to say he's completely out of the woods for his slow start to the campaign. He's shown some encouraging signs, hitting safely in all but one of his last 14 games while going 18-for-61 (.295) in that span. The first baseman is up to seven homers, 22 RBI, 26 runs scored and three stolen bases with a .222/.297/.359 slash line over 50 contests this season. Despite his recent success, he's striking out at a 31.5 percent clip and has struck out 32 times over 21 games in May.

The Marlins promoted White from Single-A Jupiter to High-A Beloit on Monday, FishonFirst.com reports.

White owned a 3.18 ERA over 34 innings with Jupiter in 2024, despite posting a 1.59 WHIP and opponents batting .274 against him. However, the southpaw also has 44 strikeouts over that span, and he'll jump to the next level alongside fellow pitching prospect Noble Meyer.

The Marlins promoted Meyer from Single-A Jupiter to High-A Beloit on Monday, FishonFirst.com reports.

Meyer was strong through eight starts at Jupiter this season, cruising to a 2.65 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with a 43:23 K:BB across 34 innings. He's proven that he's ready for the next level, as opposing hitters are batting just .149 against the 19-year-old right-hander so far in 2024.

Rogers (1-0) allowed two runs on four hits over five innings Monday, striking out two and earning a win over the Guardians.

Rogers was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and was thrust into action after Anthony Molina covered the first 1.2 innings Monday. It was Rogers' first MLB appearance since 2022. The 29-year-old southpaw registered a 5.44 ERA through nine starts in Triple-A this season. If Rogers sticks around on the MLB roster, he'll likely continue filling some sort of bulk relief role.

Blackmon went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles and four RBI in Monday's win over Cleveland.

Blackmon did most of his damage with a three-run shot to cap off Colorado's six-run fourth inning. It was his second long ball of the year and he snapped a 34-game homerless drought. Blackmon also added a pair of doubles, giving him his first multi-hit performance since May 9. He's now slashing .237/.312/.378 with 15 extra-base hits and 23 RBI through 45 games.

Beeks allowed a run on two hits while striking out two and earning a save in Monday's 8-6 win over the Guardians.

Beeks closed out the victory despite giving up a run for the fourth straight appearance. During that span, his ERA has jumped from 2.11 to 3.20 through 25.1 frames. It was the first time he converted a save since May 13 and he's now five for eight in save chances this season. Beeks is seemingly still the main option to close games for Colorado, though his job is far from secure.

Walker (3-1) took the loss against San Francisco on Monday, allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits and two walks while striking out four batters over six innings.

The positive is that Walker was able to complete six frames for the first time in his past three starts, but he was far from effective in doing so. The right-hander gave up a season-high nine hits, while the five earned runs were the most he's allowed since his season debut April 28. Despite Walker's adequate 3-1 record, he's been unimpressive with a 5.51 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB over 32.2 innings on the season.
