The Miami Marlins sent All-Star second baseman Luis Arraez to the San Diego Padres on Friday night in exchange for outfield prospects Dillon Head, Jakob Marsee and Nathan Martorella, and relief pitcher Woo-Suk Go, according to a source. With Arraez now gone in Miami, Vidal Brujan should take over everyday duties at second base. Head, who was San Diego's No. 6 prospect, is just 19 years old and was hitting .237/.317/.366 in 104 plate appearances in Single-A. The left-handed hitter's main calling card is his speed after being taken 25th overall in last year's draft, but he's still at least several years from a big-league debut. Marsee, 22, was San Diego's No. 9 prospect. He's struggled at Double-A in 2024, but the left-handed hitter could be fast-tracked in Miami's farm system along with Head. Martorella, 23, can also play first base. He was ranked as SD's No. 13 prospect He also hits from the left side and was slashing a strong .294/.392/.435 with 14 RBI at Double-A San Antonio before the trade.

The Miami Marlins traded second baseman Luis Arraez to the San Diego Padres in exchange for relief pitcher Woo-Suk Go and three prospects on Friday. The prospects are outfielder Dillon Head, outfielder Jakob Marsee and first baseman Nathan Martorella. Head is the top prize here as the Padres' No. 6 prospect. Marsee ranks as the Padres' No. 9 prospect, and Martorella ranks as their No. 13 prospect. Suk Go has been playing in Double-A San Antonio and was signed in the offseason after playing seven seasons in the KBO. Arraez and his .299 batting average will rank second on the Padres behind Jurickson Profar. The acquisition will create an interesting scenario in San Diego, as struggling second baseman Xander Bogaerts was acquired prior to the 2023 season. With Arraez not having as great a glove as Bogaerts, there is potential that Arraez could spend time at DH while Bogaerts stays set at second base. Either way, Arraez will be a lineup regular in San Diego and should hit at the top of their lineup while sending Tyler Wade to the bench.

Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon went 2-for-5 and hit a solo shot in the Rockies' 3-2 win against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. The solo shot was McMahon's fifth homer of the season, and he's now hitting for a .920 OPS on the season. This would be the best mark of the lefty's career. Fantasy managers weary of starting McMahon on the road should note that the 29-year-old is hitting for a higher OPS on the road (.956) than he is at Coors Field (.878). That may be put to the test on Saturday, though, as McMahon gets a matchup against dominant Pirates rookie Jared Jones.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Christopher Morel went 1-for-4 and smashed a solo shot in the bottom of the sixth inning against Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Joe Ross in the Cubs' 3-1 loss on Friday. Morel's sixth homer of the season, and second in as many games, gave the Cubs a 1-0 lead at the time. The 24-year-old now has a .689 OPS on the season. Morel is hitting below his 2023 levels, but a .295 wOBA with a .338 xwOBA point towards some positive regression for the righty. He will get a matchup against Brewers rookie Tobias Myers on Saturday.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Hayden Wesneski recorded eight strikeouts and gave up no runs in 6 1/3 innings pitched in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. The eight strikeouts matched a career-high for Wesneski, who was recently called up. The 26-year-old has been used in both the bullpen and as a starter in his career, but he has now made two starts in a row for the Cubs. Wesneski may make a decent bench option for fantasy managers needing help in deeper leagues, but he could be bumped from the rotation when Justin Steele (hamstring) returns from the injured list next week. Wesneski's next scheduled start is Wednesday, May 8, against the San Diego Padres.
