Silva has been out since April 14. He’s likely to return as a reliever, so he really shouldn’t require much of a rehab assignment. Then again, the Padres might simply decide to leave him at Triple-A.

Winn delivered a two-out, two-run single off of George Kirby in the fourth inning that pulled the Cardinals even at 2-2. That would wind up being the extent of their offense in the game. Winn also led off the seventh inning with a single but never advanced past first base. With his two-hit effort, the 24-year-old shortstop is now hitting .270/.360/.405 with one homer, 11 RBI and three stolen bases through his first 86 plate appearances on the season.

The right-hander uncharacteristically piled up eight strikeouts in the contest while walking three opposing batters. The Mariners scratched out single runs against him in the second and fourth innings, then Josh Naylor clubbed a go-ahead solo homer in the sixth that proved to be the difference in the ballgame. Pallante generated 12 swings and misses on 90 pitches on the night, registering an elite CSW of 38 percent. He’ll see if that swing-and-miss stuff can carry over to Wednesday’s matchup against Paul Skenes and the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

Stanton exited after jogging gingerly to third base while running the bases after singling. Given his lengthy injury history and the Yankees propensity to play it safe, it wouldn’t be shocking at all to see Stanton wind up on the injured list here. In that event, Jasson Dominguez could get the call from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and would instantly become an intriguing option for fantasy purposes. Stay tuned.

Erceg struck out the first two batters he faced in the inning before walking Mike Trout. It’s the first save for Erceg in nearly two weeks, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise for a Royals team with only nine wins on the season.

Chisholm smacked a two-run single off of Lance McCullers Jr. in the opening inning that increased the Bombers’ early edge to 3-0. He then led off the fourth inning with a 393-foot solo shot that made it 5-1. Chisholm then drew a walk in the sixth inning and scored on a sacrifice fly. He also added an RBI single during the Yankees’ four-run rally in the seventh inning before scoring on a double play ball. After being held without a home run in his first 23 games, Chisholm has now gone deep in two consecutive games and has upped his season slash to .213/.300/.337 to go with with the aforementioned two long balls, eight RBI and eight stolen bases.

Rice drove in the first run of the game with a fielder’s choice in the opening frame then scored on a two-run knock off the bat of Jazz Chisholm Jr. He then led off the fifth inning with a double and scored on an RBI single by Giancarlo Stanton. Rice later pulverized a sweeper from Colton Gordon for a 402-foot (105.5 mph EV) solo shot to open the seventh inning, extending the Yankees’ lead to 9-2. For fantasy purposes, Rice has been among the best at the catcher position this season, slashing a blistering .316/.450/.747 with nine homers, 20 RBI, 24 runs scored and one stolen base through his first 100 plate appearances.

The 31-year-old slugger jumped all over a first-pitch cutter from Lance McCullers Jr. in the second inning, belting a 336-foot (99.8 mph EV) solo shot that increased the Yankees’ early lead to 4-0. That would be his only hit in the ballgame, finishing the night 1-for-4. On the season, McMahon is slashing a horrifying .151/.286/.264 with two homers, five RBI and a 20/10 K/BB ratio in 63 plate appearances.

Warren racked up six strikeouts on the evening while allowing only one base on balls. The Astros scratched out single runs against him in the second and fourth innings, but aside from that Warren was in complete command. It doesn’t hurt that he was staked to an early four-run lead and just needed to keep the train on the tracks to earn a victory. Warren got seven swings and misses on 95 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 25 percent. Now 3-0 on the season, he’ll carry an impressive 2.59 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 37/7 K/BB ratio (31 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s tilt against the Rangers in Arlington.

Altuve reached on an infield single to open the second inning and scored the Astros’ first run on a two-out RBI single by Yainer Diaz. He then doubled to lead off the fourth inning and raced around to score on a ground ball off the bat of Cam Smith. With his two-hit attack, the 35-year-old infielder is now hitting .267/.362/.426 to go along with three homers, eight RBI and one stolen base across 116 plate appearances.

The 32-year-old right-hander also issued four free passes on the night while punching out three. The Yankees scored three runs (one earned) off of him in the first inning, then added on with solo shots from Ryan McMahon in the second and Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the fourth. McCullers then returned for the sixth and allowed a single and an RBI double before exiting. He got just five swings and misses on 92 pitches in the ballgame, posting a CSW of 27 percent. Now 1-2 on the season, he’ll bring an unappealing 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP (25 1/3 innings) into Thursday’s start against the Orioles in Baltimore.
