Nick Castellanos Shines for the Phillies

Nick Castellanos (PHI) made headlines with a game-changing grand slam in the Phillies’ 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. After being down 2-0 against starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow, the team rallied to tie the score and load the bases. Castellanos capitalized, sending the very first pitch he saw from the freshly substituted pitcher deep into left field. This hard-hitting performance saw Castellanos go 1-for-4 with a home run, a run scored, and 4 RBIs.

After a solid 2024 season where he played all 162 games and significantly reduced his strikeouts, Castellanos is showing promising signs this year too, boasting a .258/.343/.484 slash line. While he might not be the flashy pick, his potential to hit 20-25 home runs makes him a valuable asset for teams in deeper leagues.

Teoscar Hernández Powers the Dodgers

Teoscar Hernández (LAD) stole the show for the Dodgers with an incredible performance, going 3-for-3 with a double, 2 home runs, 2 runs, and 5 RBIs. His two home runs were both remarkable shots, driving his season total higher and proving to be a key player in keeping the Dodgers competitive in their loss. As injuries take a toll on the Dodgers, Hernández's performance is making him an essential player for fantasy managers looking for offensive firepower.

Jackson Chourio Hits Double-Dong for Brewers

Jackson Chourio (MIL) echoed Hernández's heroics with his own double home run performance, going 2-for-3 with 5 RBIs in the Brewers' 8-2 defeat of the Reds. After a rocky start to the season, Chourio desperately needed this breakout game to gain momentum. With heightened expectations, he has the potential to turn his season around, given his impressive track record before this year.

Kyle Tucker Lights Up the Cubs' Offense

Kyle Tucker (CHC) is on fire! With a 2-for-4 showing that included a home run, two runs, and three RBIs, Tucker is solidifying his status as one of the league's hottest hitters. His current season tally of 5 home runs places him just behind Aaron Judge, and his .319/.458/.745 slash line makes him a must-start for any fantasy team. Fans are thrilled to see Tucker thriving in his new environment!

Jackson Merrill Continues His Rise

After recently signing a massive nine-year, $135 million contract, Jackson Merrill (SDP) continues to demonstrate why he is considered a rising star.

Brenton Doyle (COL) delivered a much-needed performance, going 3-for-5 with a home run, 4 RBIs, and 3 runs scored.

In Boston, Alex Bregman (BOS) and Rafael Devers (BOS) were instrumental in a doubleheader sweep against the St. Louis Cardinals. Bregman went 4-for-9 across both games, hammering a home run and collecting 6 RBIs, while Devers enjoyed an impressive 4-for-4 showing with 5 RBIs and 5 runs scored in the second game.
