Castillo got the start at designated hitter on Tuesday. He took Tristan Beck deep for a two-run blast in the second inning for his third home run of the season. The 25-year-old catcher is getting sporadic playing time in the D-Backs lineup, hitting .241/.278/.380 with the three homers and 14 RBI across 115 plate appearances.

Devers is not exactly known for his dazzling speed, but he was able to hit a run-scoring triple in the ninth and came around to score on a Matt Chapman single. He’s been excellent in the month of May with an .897 OPS coming into Friday’s contest, and it’s a friendly reminder than when Devers has it clicking, there aren’t many hitters better.

It was Lee’s first game since coming off the injured list due to a back strain, and it was a good one. Three of the hits were singles, while he also added a double for good measure and scored twice. Lee has been relatively effective in 2026 with a .284/.323/.402 slash in his third season of MLB action.

Goodman’s blast with a pair of runners on was reviewed, but ultimately was deemed a roundtripper the tied the game at 6-6. The 26-year-old also doubled for the ninth time, while the homer was the 13th. Goodman’s .242 average leaves a bit to be desired, but the power production from behind the plate has helped make up for that figure.

Tovar homered in the eighth to get the Rockies to within a run at 4-3. The 24-year-old gave the Rockies the win and also improved his homer total to four with a two-run blast off Caleb Kilian that completed the comeback win for Colorado, as the Rockies entered that inning trailing 6-3. Tovar has struggled for most of the year, but he’s homered three times this week, and he’s shown the ability — in spurts anyway — to be a fantasy factor.

Oof. The Giants gave Kilian three runs to play with, and those runs were erased on a homer by Hunter Goodman. and a few batters later, Ezequiel Tovar ended the game with a two-run shot off Killian with two outs. That’s the first blown save of 2026 for Kilian, and his ERA ballooned well over a run from 2.22 to 3.96 because of the scuffles. It still seems likely that Kilian will see the ninth inning here and there, but this was ugly, and fantasy managers will need to play catch-up to make up for this effort.

Lorenzen continues to struggle, but he was able to avoid his eighth loss because the Rockies provided some run support. The 34-year-old allowed five hits and a pair of walks while striking out two, and his ERA remains an ugly 7.22 on the campaign. Not ideal. He’ll try and get on the right track against the Angels next week, but to say fantasy managers can’t rely on Lorenzen is the understatement of understatements.
