Emerson’s first ever MLB hit was a memorable one; a three-run blast that extended Seattle’s lead to 6-1 off Trevor Richards in the eighth inning. The 20-year-old is considered hit above power, but he’s added bulk and certainly has the bat speed to hit for power at the highest level. Emerson is likely to have some ups and downs as a 20-year-old, but there’s significant fantasy upside in his profile.

Arenado’s slam gave the D-backs a 4-0 lead in the first inning off a completely ineffective Robbie Ray. The 35-year-old has already gone deep seven times this year with a .274/.347/.473 slash to go with those roundtrippers. It’s a far cry from the player Arenado was in Colorado, but that’s more compliment to how good he was there than insult to the first third of this season. This version of Arenado has some fantasy value. The question is will there be a slowdown to the levels he played at in St. Louis the last few campaigns.

Ginn went from being three outs away from the first no-hitter in 2026 to a loser in the span of two batters. He was dominant over his first eight frames with eight strikeouts and just a walk allowed, but a single by Adam Frazier followed by a two-run blast from Zach Neto ended the night on a sour outcome. It’s also worth pointing out that the A’s didn’t score a run themselves until the ninth inning, so, yeah. Baseball. The ending wasn’t desirable, but it was another quality start from Ginn that sees his ERA dip to 2.98 on the season. He gets the Padres on Saturday.

Caminero extended Tampa Bay’s early lead with 116.8-mph single to left field in the second inning before taking Orioles reliever Cameron Foster deep for a three-run blast in the fifth inning. It was his second consecutive contest with a big fly and his 13th round-tripper of the season. He’s gone deep five times since May 1.

Gore needed 28 pitches to get through his lone inning of work, with his fastball velocity down considerably before he was replaced by reliever Peyton Gray. He was charged with two runs on three hits. He struck out two and also issued a pair of walks. It certainly sounds like a potential injured list situation, but the Rangers are calling his exit precautionary in nature. There should be an update on his status in the coming days once he undergoes further evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of the issue.

Snell will have the same innovative procedure, which is less invasive and uses a smaller incision than a typical arthroscopic surgery, that Tigers ace Tarik Skubal underwent earlier this month. The hope that he’ll be able to return within roughly 4-6 weeks after the procedure. There should be a definitive timetable once he starts ramping up his throwing program in a couple weeks.

It’s challenging to forecast Holliday making a significant fantasy impact right away since he didn’t exactly tear the cover off the ball during his latest rehab stint in the upper minors. The 22-year-old former top prospect experienced several setbacks during his rehabilitation process and has been on the shelf since undergoing surgery to repair a hamate fracture back in spring training. It may take time to shake off the metaphorical cobwebs, but Holliday should be an impactful fantasy contributor at second base this season, but only if he’s finally put the hand issue to bed. He figures to spend some time at both second and third base with the Orioles over the remainder of the year.

It’s extremely unfortunate timing for fantasy managers with the Rangers opening a three-game series at Coors Field on Monday night. The decision was made to give Seager some extra time off after he left the club to visit a back specialist after undergoing an MRI over the weekend. The major concern here is that back issues can be complicated matters. There should be a rough timetable for his return at some point in the near future. It’ll be Ezequiel Duran taking over at shortstop in his absence.

He’s officially back. Atlanta apparently decided to reverse course and bring Acuña off the injured list for Monday’s series opener against the Marlins after manager Walt Weiss expressed some concerns about the artificial turf at loanDepot park. He’s not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener, but figures to be available off the bench. The 28-year-old fantasy superstar wound up missing just over two weeks with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. Fantasy managers should make sure he’s back in lineups this week.

New York has an opening in their rotation for Friday’s series opener against the division-rival Rays in Yankee Stadium after shipping rookie starter Elmer Rodríguez back to the minors. It’s hardly official yet, but Cole would be making his first start in the big leagues since Game 5 of the World Series back in 2024 after missing all of last year recovering from Tommy John surgery. He threw 86 pitches, while averaging 97 mph on his four-seam fastball, over 5 1/3 innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in his latest rehab outing last weekend. It certainly sounds like a strong possibility Cole returns later this week. He should be rostered in all fantasy leagues.
