  • Chase Meidroth 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: On base three times

    Meidroth went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Wednesday against the Mariners.

    Meidroth entered the game having gone only 1-for-15 across his last five games, though he did manage to record his fifth multi-hit game in 17 starts in May. While he has hit for average and also has 29 runs scored in 46 games, Meidroth has offered very little power or stolen base production, limiting his fantasy appeal.

  • Sam Antonacci LF | CHW

    White Sox's Sam Antonacci: Swipes fourth bag

    Antonacci went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Mariners.

    Antonacci reached base on a single in the third inning, stole second base and came around to score. He was pinch hit for in the ninth inning with a lefty on the mound, though he continued his solid run of recent production prior to being pulled. Since the start of May, Antonacci has hit .328 with three RBI, 11 runs scored and three stolen bases across 17 games.

  • TJ Rumfield 1B | COL

    Rockies' TJ Rumfield: Tallies 25th RBI

    Rumfield went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Rangers.

    Rumfield did his damage early, driving in a run with a single in the opening frame. That brought his RBI total to 25 on the season, and he's hit .283 with three homers, eight RBI and 10 runs scored across 16 games in May. Rumfield is the Rockies' primary first baseman and should continue to get regular run as one of the team's better hitters.

  • Jo Adell RF | CLE

    Angels' Jo Adell: Homer, double in loss

    Adell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

    Adell has gone just 10-for-41 (.244) over his last 12 games, but eight of his hits in that span (three homers, five doubles) have gone for extra bases. In terms of pop, he's doing about as well as anyone in the Angels' lineup. The veteran outfielder is hitting .255 with a .701 OPS, seven homers, 28 RBI, 17 runs scored, seven doubles and two stolen bases over 50 contests. That said, he's unlikely to come anywhere near his 37-homer, 98-RBI campaign from 2025.

  • Tyler Freeman RF | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Two hits Wednesday

    Freeman went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Rangers.

    Freeman made his first start since returning from paternity leave and hit third in the order. All of his production came in the fifth inning, when he singled in a run while coming around to score later in the frame. Freeman had been in a slump prior to Wednesday's game, collecting only one hit across his last 15 at-bats. He should continue to mix into the lineup as Colorado's part-time right fielder.

  • Joshua Lowe LF | LAA

    Angels' Josh Lowe: Lifts homer in loss

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

    Lowe went deep in the second inning, ending a stretch of 16 contests without a homer. He hit just .159 in that span and is batting a meager .182 with a .547 OPS across 130 plate appearances this season. The outfielder has added five homers, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, one stolen base and two doubles. He continues to fill a platoon role, but he doesn't offer enough upside to have much appeal in fantasy, especially since his value on the basepaths has dwindled.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Launches ninth homer

    Soler went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

    Soler struck early, with his homer coming off Aaron Civale in the first inning to tie the game at 2-2. This ended a stretch of 12 games without a long ball for Soler, who hit .163 and slugged .256 in that span. For the season, he's batting just .213 with a .729 OPS, nine homers, 30 RBI, 22 runs scored and nine doubles over 46 contests. While his performance isn't all that impressive, he's providing more pop than last season, when he totaled 12 home runs in 82 contests.

  • Edmundo Sosa LF | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Pops two-run homer

    Sosa went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Reds.

    Sosa's homer Wednesday is his first since the Phillies' April 14 loss to the Cubs. The utility man tends to steps into Philadelphia's lineup in favor of Bryson Stott at second base or Brandon Marsh in left field against left-handed pitching, but he hasn't been all that effective at the dish in that role. Through 79 at-bats (28 games), Sosa is hitting .228 with two big flies, three doubles, 14 RBI and two stolen bases.

  • Angels' Jack Kochanowicz: Fans seven in no-decision

    Kochanowicz allowed three runs on three hits, four walks and a hit batsman while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision Wednesday versus the Athletics.

    Kochanowicz gave up all three runs over the first two innings before settling down to earn a quality start. The 25-year-old had given up a total of 13 runs (12 earned) over his previous two outings, so this was a positive effort overall, though he's still walking too many batters. On the year, he has a 4.55 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 41:29 K:BB through 57.1 innings across 10 starts. He's winless over his last seven outings, which he'll try to change next week in his projected road start versus the Tigers.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Jeff McNeil: Blasts game-tying homer

    McNeil went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Angels.

    McNeil helped the Athletics complete their rally with a game-tying solo shot in the ninth inning off Kirby Yates. This was just the second long ball of the year for McNeil, who continues to be more of a contact-over-power hitter. He's gone 7-for-27 (.259) over his last eight contests, and on the year, he's batting .279 with a .726 OPS, 15 RBI, 15 runs scored, one stolen base and nine doubles across 46 contests. He continues to handle the strong side of a platoon at second base.
