New York Mets DVOA, Stats, & MLB Rankings

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 3-for-4 with a single and two homers against the Colorado Rockies on Friday. He finished the game with three runs and two RBI, accounting for the majority of the Mets' runs in their relatively narrow 4-2 win over the Rockies. Lindor continues to impress in his age-31 season, slashing .278/.347/.480 with 12 home runs, 33 RBI, and 10 stolen bases. He currently owns a 121 wRC+, putting him on pace to finish in the triple digits for the 11th time in as many seasons. Lindor has played shortstop in all but one of the Mets' games this year. As long as he stays healthy, he'll remain a highly impactful option in fantasy baseball.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Harrison Bader (finger) remains sidelined for Friday's series opener in Seattle against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. Kody Clemens is starting in right field for the Twins and will hit seventh against Mariners right-hander Bryan Wood. Bader will be missing his fourth straight start, but the good news for Minnesota is that Byron Buxton (concussion) is back from the injured list and is starting in center field. If Bader is unable to make it back this weekend in Seattle, there's a chance the Twins could consider putting him on the 10-day injured list. In addition to his solid glove in the outfield, the 30-year-old has been a pleasant surprise with the bat, too, hitting .276/.359/.433 with a .792 OPS, five home runs, 21 RBI, 18 runs and six steals in 134 at-bats. Clemens has also been a surprise offensively, slashing .304/.391/.696 with five homers and 12 RBI in his 22 games with the Twins.

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 12-3 win against Triple-A Iowa. The 24-year-old has been on a heater since making his season debut on April 27. In 57 at-bats, the top prospect owns a .316/.365/.526 slash line with three homers and five steals. He's posted over a 60 percent hard-hit rate during this small sample and appears to be fully healthy. Mauricio has made starts at multiple infield positions to provide him with defensive flexibility when he is eventually called up. That will likely come at some point this summer. Mauricio's blend of power, contact, and speed makes him a good target in standard leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Jose Quintana (shoulder) is back from his one-game minor-league rehab assignment and said he has normal soreness but otherwise feels fine, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Quintana is preparing to come off the injured list to start on Sunday on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The 36-year-old southpaw is ready to return to the big-league starting rotation after tossing 71 pitches over four innings in his rehab start with High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday. Quintana has had a good start to his 2025 season in Milwaukee, going 4-1 with a 2.65 ERA (4.54 FIP) and 1.23 WHIP with 24 strikeouts and 11 walks in 34 innings over six starts, but his 4.54 FIP points to regression coming. We wouldn't recommend using him as a fantasy streamer this weekend against a Phillies offense that ranks fifth in MLB with a .744 OPS.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Harrison Bader (finger) will miss Wednesday's series finale against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. will make another start in center field and will bat in the nine-hole against Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen. A sore finger will keep Bader out of action for a third straight game, although the injury isn't believed to be serious enough to send him to the injured list. The 30-year-old's next chance to get back into the lineup will be on Friday against the Seattle Mariners after a scheduled off day on Thursday. Before his finger injury, Bader had been handling starting duties in center with Byron Buxton (concussion) on the IL. Keirsey won't be a very attractive DFS play on Wednesday in the nine-hole. The 28-year-old left-handed hitter is also batting just .115 (7-for-61) with a homer, four RBI and five steals in limited playing time in 2025.
