San Diego Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim stuffed the stat sheet in Friday's 10-3 victory over the Diamondbacks, going 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, three runs scored, and a walk. Kim's season has been a bit of a mixed bag with June a good example of how it has gone. In June, the 28-year-old has three multi-hit games out of seven games, but is also hitless in three games this month. For the season, he's tallied a .223-8-29-34-13 line with a .320 wOBA and 113 wRC+. The wOBA and wRC+ are more or less in line with last season's numbers in which he ended with a .260-17-60-84-38 line, so managers are hoping he can pick up the pace in the batting average department, but otherwise he's on track for similar stats.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte went 2-for-5 with a home run in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Padres. Marte's home run was a two-run shot and 13th of the year, second-most among second basemen. Marte had a 21-game hit streak come to an end in May and subsequently went 2-for-31 (.065) over the next eight games, but has caught fire again, going 11-for-22 (.500) over the last six games with four multi-hit performances which includes three home runs.

Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz went 3-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 victory over the Angels. One of the hits was a home run, Diaz's seventh of the season, and it was the backstop's fourth consecutive game with a home run. Diaz had a breakout campaign in 2023, belting 23 long balls with a .282 average in just 104 games played, so expectations were high coming into 2024. Managers who drafted the catcher were likely disappointed with his production prior to this recent outburst, as the 25-year-old's last home run came on April 11, a stretch of 39 games and 142 at-bats without one. His recent four-game stretch has put him solidly in the Top-12 for fantasy now. He'll have a challenge continuing the HR streak Saturday against the Angels' LHP Tyler Anderson, who Diaz is 0-for-3 off of in his career with three strikeouts.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt threw eight innings of one-run ball in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Athletics but did not factor into the decision. The veteran allowed just four hits and two walks while striking out seven, but the Jays' offense did not provide enough run support to allow him to pick up the victory despite the stellar showing. Aside from a seven-run hiccup against the Dodgers back on April 26, Bassitt has been rather good this season, allowing three earned runs or less in 10 of 13 starts and two or less in seven of them. The righty now has a 3.80 ERA on the season with a 1.38 WHIP and a 70:28 K:BB in 73 1/3 IP.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet picked up his sixth win of the season in Friday's 7-2 victory over the Red Sox. The lefty went six innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on just three hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters. After a rough three-game stretch in mid-to-late April, Crochet has gone 5-1 since April 29, a span of seven starts and 40 IP. The former first-round draft pick allowed two earned runs or less in each of those starts, and one or less in five of them, posting a 1.35 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, and an elite 30.5% K-BB%. His 93 K on the season ranks fourth-best, and he'll get to face Seattle his next time out, the team with the most strikeouts in the majors this season.
