Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh hit a solo home run in a 2-1 win over the Twins on Sunday. It was his major league-leading 23rd homer of the season, which is unprecedented for a catcher. He recently became the first catcher in history to reach the 20-homer mark before the end of May, and there are no signs of him slowing down. The slugger has a 99th-percentile 23.9% barrel rate and is single-handedly putting a question to the narrative that Seattle is a pitcher-friendly venue. Raleigh is the clear number-one catcher in fantasy at this point and could find himself being drafted in the first two rounds in 2026 drafts.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Corbin Burnes left today's start with elbow inflammation, reports Bob Nightengale of USA Today. While nothing is official yet, there's optimism that he avoided a serious injury. That would be great news if true, as things were looking very bleak as he left the game in the fifth inning with an immediate elbow issue after throwing a pitch. The 30-year-old has been the picture of health throughout his career, making at least 28 starts every year dating back to 2021. Even if he did avoid a potential elbow surgery, it's still likely that this will require a trip to the injured list to heal. Expect more updates after he undergoes an MRI on Monday.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Taj Bradley received his fifth loss of the season on Sunday against the Astros despite striking out 10 and allowing only one unearned run over seven innings. He gave up three hits and walked two. This is the second straight outing where he's gone seven strong innings and still gotten stuck with the loss. The 24-year-old has been much more efficient this season than in past years with eight quality starts in 12 tries. In 2024, he achieved that in only 10 of his 25 starts. However, the efficiency seems to have come at the cost of getting fewer strikeouts, as the 26.6% K rate he posted last season is down to 21.9% this year. The youngster will carry a 3.95 ERA into his next start, which is set to be against the Marlins.

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Justin Martinez recorded his first save since returning from the injured list last week, bringing his season total to four. This was promising to see, especially after allowing two runs to blow a save in his first appearance back on May 24. The 23-year-old could be a top-10 closer for fantasy if he can gain full control of the job, which he briefly did before suffering his injury. A.J. Puk still isn't close to returning from his elbow injury, which makes Shelby Miller the main competition for saves. Martinez is coming off of a 2024 season where he posted an elite 2.48 ERA with 91 strikeouts in 72 2/3 innings, so make sure he's not sitting on the waiver wire in your leagues.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Chris Paddack allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out 10 over eight innings on Sunday against the Mariners. It was a great performance, but he didn't factor into the decision in the eventual 2-1 loss. The 29-year-old has been extremely consistent after giving up nine runs in his first start of the year on March 31. In 11 outings since he's yet to allow more than three earned runs in a start. The former top prospect is finally starting to see extended success at the major league level, and he'll carry a 3.58 ERA into his next start against the Blue Jays.
