McLain was dropped in the Reds lineup earlier this week, even though his OBP was already up this month. He’s batting .220/.371/.380 with two homers and five steals in 14 games during May. His replacement in the second spot in the order, Santiago Espinal, is hitting .226/.281/.264 during the same span.

Arrighetti will make his return to Houston’s rotation for his season debut with an extremely favorable matchup against Colorado away from Coors Field. There’s some definite streaming appeal for fantasy purposes, even in shallow mixed leagues.

Mike Trout, Jo Adell, Jorge Soler and Oswald Peraza also homered in the outburst. Moncada’s was his second of the year. He has a terrible 37-percent strikeout rate so far, which is why he’s batting .184. But the power and walks are still there, at least; he taken 11 free passes and also been plunked a couple of times, leaving him with a .355 OBP that’s nearly double his average.

Detmers, who spent last year in the Angels pen, completed seven innings for the first time since Apr. 22, 2024. He had a shutout going into the eighth, when he was lifted after a double and a single to start the inning. It’s the 12th time in his career that he’s struck out at least nine. He generated whiffs on 17 of 51 swings and posted a 35-percent CSW. Detmers will bring a 1-1 record and a 3.57 ERA into his next start at home against the Padres.

Nine of the 10 balls in play against Weathers were flyballs sent at least 295 feet. Six were hit at least 100 mph, three topped 110 mph and four turned into homers ranging from 396 to 445 feet. Really, he’s fortunate Yankee Stadium didn’t factor in any turn any of the shorter flies into homers. Plus, he was due for a night like this after going without allowing a homer in his first three starts (he’s given up a homer every six innings over the course of his career). Weathers dropped to 0-2 with a 4.29 ERA. He’ll face the Royals on Sunday.
