Trea Turner

PHI Shortstop #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Trea Turner went 3-for-5 and drove in a pair of runs on Sunday night, propelling the Phillies to a 3-1 victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Turner got the Phillies on the board in the third inning with an RBI single off of Jameson Taillon that plated Bryson Stott. He then strolled to the dish with the bases loaded and one out in the 10th inning, and hit a slow roller to third base that he beat out at first to bring in another run. With his three-hit attack, the 31-year-old infielder is now slashing .262/.345/.330 on the season with just one homer, nine RBI and six stolen bases.
Bryson Stott

PHI 2nd Baseman #5

Bryson Stott tripled, walked and scored a run on Sunday night as the Phillies eked out an extra-inning victory over the Cubs in Chicago.

Stott smacked a one-out triple off of Jameson Taillon in the third inning then scored the Phillies’ first run on the night as Trea Turner smacked a single into left field. He also worked a walk during his squad’s two-run rally in the 10th inning. For the season, the 27-year-old second baseman is now hitting .292/.367/.438 with two homers, 14 RBI and five stolen bases.
Jordan Romano

PHI Relief Pitcher #68

Jordan Romano notched his second save of the season on Sunday night, working a scoreless 10th inning against the Cubs to protect a two-run lead.

The 32-year-old right-hander looked sharp in this one, getting Michael Busch on strikes to start the inning and then Dansby Swanson on a fly ball to left field. He then got Nico Hoerner on a comebacker to end the ballgame. He’s still buried on the depth chart for saves at the moment, but it’s nice to see Romano start to figure things out on the mound, throwing 10 of his 13 pitches for strikes on Sunday. He still sports a horrifying 12.19 ERA on the season.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola pitched well in a no-decision against the Cubs on Sunday evening, allowing one run on three hits over his seven innings.

The 31-year-old right-hander racked up six strikeouts in what was his finest start of the season while allowing only one base on balls. The only damage done against him came on an RBI double off the bat of Pete Crow-Armstrong in the second inning. Aside from that, Nola was in complete command. He got 16 swings and misses on 99 pitches on the night — four or more on each of his changeup, knuckle curve and cutter — while posting a CSW of 30 percent. He’ll look to further improve upon his 5.40 ERA and 1.40 WHIP when he takes on the Diamondbacks at home on Saturday.
Ryan Pressly

CHC Relief Pitcher #55

Ryan Pressly (knee) looked terrific in his return to action on Sunday night, working a scoreless ninth inning in a tied game against the Phillies.

Pressly was tasked with facing the heart of the Phillies’ lineup and got right to work — getting Trea Turner on a ground ball to third base and Bryce Harper on a ground ball to shortstop. He then issued a two-out walk to Kyle Schwarber before retiring Nick Castellanos on a fly ball to end the inning. The right-hander showed no signs of his right knee issue bothering him and his velocity was exactly where you’d hope it would be. It looks like Pressly still has a lock on the closer’s gig for the time being.
Jameson Taillon

CHC Starting Pitcher #50

Jameson Taillon was outstanding in a no-decision against the Phillies on Sunday night, surrendering only one run on five hits over seven strong frames.

The right-hander struck out two batters on the evening and did not issue a free pass. He induced a ton of weak contact and kept the Phillies’ hitters off-balance for much of the evening. The only run that scored against him came on an RBI single by Trea Turner in the third inning. Taillon got just four whiffs on 88 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 20 percent. The 33-year-old hurler now boasts a 4.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and a 26/7 K/BB ratio over 33 2/3 innings through his first six starts on the season. He’ll take on the Brewers his next time out in Milwaukee on Saturday.
Geraldo Perdomo

ARI Shortstop #2

Geraldo Perdomo hit his fourth homer and swiped two bases Sunday in the Diamondbacks’ 6-4 defeat of the Braves.

Perdomo’s homer was his only hit, but he had an RBI groundout in the first and he swiped second and third after reaching on a fielder’s choice in the seventh. One of the year’s nicest fantasy surprises, he has four homers, 21 RBI and six steals through 28 games. However, he still figures to return to the bottom of the Arizona lineup after Ketel Marte is activated, which will likely cost him much of his fantasy value.
Brandon Pfaadt

ARI Starting Pitcher #32

Brandon Pfaadt allowed three runs — two earned — over six innings and struck out six in a win over the Braves on Sunday.

Pfaadt spent much of the day pitching his way out of trouble while giving up nine hits and improved to 5-1 with a 2.78 ERA. His peripherals don’t really back up the strong record, making him a potential sell-high candidate. Still, we’d expect his peripherals to improve, even if his ERA climbs some in the process. He’ll make his next start in Philadelphia.
Justin Martinez

ARI Relief Pitcher #63

Justin Martinez picked up his third save despite allowing a run in the ninth Sunday against the Braves.

Martinez opened the inning with a hit by pitch and a walk. He induced a double-play ball afterwards, but he then allowed an RBI double and a second walk before getting fly to center to end the game. Often very wild in the minors, Martinez has been quite a bit better than expected in that area as a major leaguer, particularly in opening this season with an 11/2 K/BB in nine innings. Especially with A.J. Puk out, it’d be bad if his control started to wane now.
Spencer Schwellenbach

ATL Starting Pitcher #56

Spencer Schwellenbach surrendered four runs — three earned — in six innings Sunday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

Schwellenbach got 16 missed swings in a six-strikeout day, but he also gave up 10 hard-hit balls, including a Geraldo Perdomo homer. Schwellenbach’s last three starts haven’t been nearly as impressive as his first three. He’s still a fine bet going forward, but he might not be a true fantasy ace just yet. He’ll take on the Dodgers next.
