  • TB 1st Baseman #8

    Aranda has been one of the more impactful middle-of-the-order run producers this season with a whopping 32 RBI through 40 contests. The 27-year-old first baseman delievered a sacrifice fly and a run-scoring single before taking Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman deep in the fifth inning for his eighth round-tripper of the year. He’s been on fire recently, hitting .346 (18-for-52) with two homers and 11 RBI over his last 15 games.
  • TOR Shortstop #0
    Giménez took Rays starter Drew Rasmussen deep for a three-run homer in the second inning before repeating the feat against reliever Ian Seymour in the seventh to record the first multi-homer performance of his career. The 27-year-old infielder was one of the few bright spots in this one as he was responsible for all five of Toronto’s runs in a losing effort. He’s up to five round-trippers already through 38 games after mustering only seven across 101 contests last year in his Blue Jays debut.
  • TB Left Fielder #14
    Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters Simpson was lifted for a defensive replacement in the eighth inning due to some cramping after going 3-for-5 with three runs scored and a pair of stolen bases out of the leadoff spot. The 25-year-old’s speed caused some serious chaos on the basepaths for Toronto all night, but he put on a masterclass in the fourth inning when he reached on an infield single and advanced on a balk before scoring on an errant throw after swiping third base.
  • TB Relief Pitcher #47
    Baker got the call to protect a three-run lead in the final frame and needed just 11 pitches (nine strikes) to slam the door. He struck out Myles Straw, got Ernie Clement to line out to center field and fanned Andrés Giménez to end it. The unheralded 31-year-old journeyman has converted 11 of 13 save opportunities this season and finds himself just one behind Padres relief ace Mason Miller for the league lead. Simply put, he’s been an unexpected revelation for fantasy managers.
  • TB Starting Pitcher #57
    Rasmussen surrendered a three-run shot to Andrés Giménez in the third inning, but managed to keep Toronto’s lineup scoreless otherwise. He struck out six and only handed out one free pass. The 30-year-old righty has been a model of consistency, allowing three earned runs or fewer while also completing five innings in seven of his eight starts to open the season. He’ll wrap up a two-start week with a tasty home matchup against the Marlins on Sunday.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #34
    Gausman recorded his 2,000th career strikeout during an otherwise forgettable outing against the division-rival Rays where he surrendered 10 hits, including a solo homer to Jonathan Aranda. He managed to somewhat mitigate the damage by striking out five batters without issuing a walk. Still, it was a tough performance against a Rays lineup that isn’t one of the more potent groups in the game. He’ll attempt to rebound with a road matchup against the Tigers on Sunday.
  • CLE 2nd Baseman #87
    Bazzana capped Cleveland’s five-run explosion in the third inning by slicing a two-run double into the left-center field gap. He also drew a pair of walks in this one, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances out of the eighth spot in the order. The 23-year-old top prospect has hit a bit of a rough path, which isn’t completely unexpected, while acclimating to everyday life in the majors, hitting .211/.423/.316 with one homer and seven steals in 12 games since being called up back on April 28.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #47
    It’s challenging to draw any conclusions from this outing since Manoah entered the contest with Los Angeles trailing by a touchdown in the fourth inning. He notched only two strikeouts and walked a staggering five batters. Amazingly, he managed to put five goose eggs on the scoreboard in the one-sided affair. His fastball velocity is starting to trend in the right direction, but he’s not close to being a fantasy-relevant option yet. He’s in line to take the ball on Sunday against the Dodgers. He’s not a recommended fantasy option in that spot.
  • CLE Starting Pitcher #54
    Cantillo was able to cruise to a relatively easy win, scattering five hits and one walk over six frames, after Cleveland’s offense staked him to a one-touchdown lead by the fourth inning. He finished with four strikeouts and consistently pounded the zone, throwing 63 of 93 pitches for strikes. The 26-year-old lefty has allowed just one run combined over his previous two outings and holds a solid 2.98 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 41/20 K/BB ratio across 45 1/3 innings over nine starts. He’ll wrap up a two-start week with a favorable home matchup against the Reds on Sunday.
  • BAL 3rd Baseman #16
    Mayo catapulted Baltimore ahead with a three-run blast off Yankees reliever Brent Headrick after they were completely flummoxed by lefty Ryan Weathers for six-plus frames to open the contest. It was his fourth long ball of the season and first time leaving the yard since April 24. The 24-year-old former top prospect was a late addition to the lineup at DH after Samuel Basallo was scratched with knee discomfort.
