Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak continued his recent hot stretch in a 7-5 win over the Oakland A's on Tuesday. Moniak went 1-for-2 with a grand slam, a walk, and two runs scored in the win over Oakland. With the Angels trailing 2-1 in the fourth inning, Moniak launched his first career grand slam to put LA in the lead. After a slow start to the season, Moniak is swinging a hot bat of late, hitting .304 with two homers and 12 RBI over his past 15 games. Overall this season he is hitting .197 with four homers, 19 runs, 21 RBI, and four steals across 183 at-bats. While his season-long numbers don't look great, Moniak should be rostered in deeper leagues thanks to his recent strong hitting.

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers had a big night at the plate in a 5-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Jeffers went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk but it wasn't quite enough in the one-run loss. The veteran catcher's seventh-inning blast tied the game at 4-4. Jeffers is providing nice power numbers for a catcher this season, hitting .236 with 15 doubles, 13 homers, 30 runs, 41 RBI, and two steals across 220 at-bats. He is just one homer shy of tying his previous career-high of 14, a number he reached both in 2021 and 2023.

Los Angeles Dodgers DH Shohei Ohtani had a productive game in his team's 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a homer, a walk, two runs, and two RBI to help power his team to the win. The veteran hit a leadoff homer to kick off the scoring in the top of the first, giving him 24 round-trippers on the season. Overall, it has been a fantastic first season with the Dodgers for Ohtani, who is hitting .320 with 63 runs, 60 RBI, and 16 steals across 309 at-bats. He's been especially hot of late as he's hitting .385 with five homers and 13 RBI over his past seven contests.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Evan Phillips tossed a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. Phillips struck out one and did not allow a baserunner on the way to converting his 13th save in as many opportunities in 2024. The veteran is putting together another excellent season as the Dodgers' primary closer, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 25 strikeouts over 22 2/3 innings of work. He is a valuable asset in fantasy in any league that rewards saves or holds.

San Francisco Giants pitching prospect Hayden Birdsong will start for the Giants in his major league debut on Wednesday. The 22-year-old right-hander will draw the Cubs in his first career big league start. He was recently promoted to Triple-A Sacramento after pitching to a 2.05 ERA and 1.12 WHIP at Double-A Richmond. At Sacramento, the Giants' No. 6 prospect was 1-0 with a 5.00 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in two starts. Birdsong has a plus fastball-curveball combo to rely on with an above-average slider to mix in. At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, Birdsong has the prototypical presence on the mound. The Giants' pitching rotation has been fighting the injury bug, giving Birdsong a big opportunity. One of the top pitching prospects in the San Francisco system, he is worth a look for pitching desperate fantasy teams.
