Alec Bohm

PHI 3rd Baseman #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Alec Bohm singled, walked and scored both of the night’s runs in the Phillies’ 2-0 win over the Braves on Tuesday.

Bohm was elevated to the fifth spot in the lineup tonight. He hit fourth or higher in each of his first 10 games this season, but because of his early slump, he’d batted sixth or lower every time he’d been in the lineup since. The move ahead of Nick Castellanos was overdue and should help his fantasy value some. Bohm is hitting .341 with four homers and 12 RBI in 23 games this month.

Yandy Díaz

TB Designated Hitter #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Yandy Díaz launched two home runs and amassed three RBI on Friday, powering the Rays to an 8-5 win over the Angels.

Díaz clobbered a leadoff homer to right field off Angels starter Walbert Ureña before putting the exclamation point on the multi-homer outburst by walloping a go-ahead two-run blast to left-center field off Ryan Zeferjahn in the seventh. The 34-year-old on-base machine continues to serve as Tampa Bay’s primary offensive catalyst this season as he’s up to 10 round-trippers while also hitting .313/.392/.523 with 36 RBI across 51 games.

Zach Neto

LAA Shortstop #9

Zach Neto went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Friday in a loss to the Rays.

Neto put the Angels ahead briefly with a run-scoring single to right field against Rays starter Nick Martinez in the fifth inning. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be enough as Los Angeles’ bullpen imploded in the late innings. The 25-year-old shortstop has been seeing the ball well of late, hitting .304 (17-for-56) with four homers and nine RBI over his last 15 games.

Bryan Baker

TB Relief Pitcher #47

Bryan Baker tossed a scoreless ninth inning on Friday against the Angels to notch his 15th save of the season.

Baker was summoned to guard a three-run lead after Kevin Kelly came on to extinguish an eighth-inning fire and managed to hang on despite some turbulence. He made things interesting by issuing a one-out walk to Logan O’Hoppe before Jose Siri followed with a single against his former club. He struck out Zach Neto before walking Mike Trout to load the bases and put the potential go-ahead run at the plate. He managed to coax a harmless pop up from Vaughn Grissom to end it.

Nick Martinez

TB Starting Pitcher #28

Nick Martinez allowed two runs over seven innings on Friday in a win over the Angels.

The amazing part here is that Martinez’s ERA went up after limiting Los Angeles to just a pair of run-scoring singles over seven frames. The 35-year-old veteran continues to thrive in his Tampa Bay debut, allowing two runs or fewer for the 11th consecutive start to open the season. He’ll carry a sparkling 1.62 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 41/12 K/BB ratio across 66 2/3 innings into a home matchup against the Tigers on Wednesday.

Walbert Ureña

LAA Starting Pitcher #57

Walbert Ureña allowed one run over six innings on Friday in a no-decision against the Rays.

Ureña settled in beautifully after serving up a leadoff homer to Yandy Díaz as he limited Tampa Bay’s lineup to just seven baserunners afterwards. He finished with five strikeouts and issued three walks. The 22-year-old rookie has allowed two earned runs or fewer in six consecutive starts dating back to May 1. He holds a sparkling 1.64 ERA across 33 innings during that span. He’s in line for an extremely favorable home matchup against the Rockies on Wednesday.

Luis Severino

ATH Starting Pitcher #40

Luis Severino was removed from Friday night’s start against the Yankees after one inning due to right arm soreness.

Severino didn’t look like himself in the opening frame, giving up four runs including a three-run blast to Paul Goldschmidt. He also had this start moved back a couple of days earlier in the week, so it’s possible there was an underlying injury concern already at play. Don’t be surprised if Severino winds up spending some time on the injured list over this one.

Munetaka Murakami

CWS 1st Baseman #5

White Sox’ manager Will Venable told reporters after Friday’s game that Munetaka Murakami will undergo an MRI exam on his injured hamstring.

Venable also noted that it’s likely Murakami would require a stint on the injured list and will miss a couple of weeks. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see what the imaging shows, but it sounds like the 26-year-old slugger will be shelved for a bit to start the month of June.

Kazuma Okamoto

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto crushed a two-run homer on Friday, propelling the Blue Jays to a 6-5 win over the Orioles.

Okamoto jump-started Toronto’s eventual comeback win by taking Orioles starter Trevor Rogers deep to left field in the seventh inning. It was his 12th big fly of the season and second round-tripper in his last three games. The 29-year-old rookie has had some up-and-down stretches during his stateside debut, but he’s shown an ability to consistently hit for power as a potential middle-of-the-order run-producing threat for the Blue Jays.

Samuel Basallo

BAL Catcher #29

Samuel Basallo went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and two RBI on Friday in a loss to the Blue Jays.

Basallo drove in a run with a sacrifice fly his first time up in the contest before hammering a hanging curveball from Blue Jays reliever Austin Voth in the fifth inning to extend Baltimore’s lead to five runs at the time. It was his ninth big fly of the season and fourth time he’s gone deep in his last 11 games since May 16. He’s cooled off a little bit recently, but Basallo has been on a tear in recent weeks, hitting .351 (34-for-97) with six homers and 20 RBI over his last 30 games.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI on Friday in a win over the Orioles.

Guerrero came through with the biggest hit of the night for Toronto, capping off a remarkable five-run comeback in the late innings with a go-ahead two-run single into the left-field corner off Orioles reliever Yennier Cano in the eighth inning. The 27-year-old franchise cornerstone isn’t hitting for the caliber of over-the-fence pop that fantasy managers were anticipating with just three homers through 56 games.
