New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson tossed 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball in Saturday's 7-1 victory over the Padres, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out two on the way to earning his eighth win of the season. It was the fifth consecutive start in which the southpaw has allowed two runs or less, which has also been the case in 13 of his 15 starts this season. That has led to an 8-1 record with a sterling 2.85 ERA (4.20 FIP). However, the lefty also has a 1.32 WHIP and just an 8.0% K-BB%, so it hasn't all been great for fantasy purposes. Peterson gets a favorable matchup next time out, which will come against the White Sox in Chicago next Friday.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero homered for the second consecutive game, going 3-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-8 extra-innings win over the Dodgers. Caminero's 418-foot solo blast came in the ninth inning with the Rays down by a run, sending the game into extras where teammate Jose Caballero would hit a two-run shot to win it for the Rays. Caminero struck out three times in his 2024 debut, but since then he's got a 5:6 BB:K and is now slashing .308/.386/.487 with a pair of home runs in 11 games. It took forever for the Rays to call up their top prospect (MLB No. 2), but now he's doing the same thing he's been doing in the minors all season long. He should be rostered in all formats at this point.

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani joined the 40/40 club on Friday, but did not slow down one bit the day after achieving that feat, going 2-for-4 with his 41st home run of the season in Saturday's 9-8 extra-innings loss to the Rays. The 2x MVP collected two RBI and scored twice in the contest as well. There is not much more you can say about the phenom, he's having another MVP-caliber season, posting a .294-41-94-99-40 line with a .415 wOBA and 171 wRC+.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (finger) is returning to the lineup on Sunday afternoon. The outfielder missed the past two games due to left finger inflammation but has been cleared to return to game action. The 29-year-old will get the nod in left field and bat in the five-hole. O'Neill has been in a bit of a slump since the start of the month, holding a disappointing .167 AVG, which is a stark contrast to the .302 AVG he boasted in July. Fantasy managers should look to get the hard-hitting bat back in their lineup this afternoon. O'Neill is worth a look in DFS this afternoon as well, as he will face Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly, who surrendered six runs in his previous start.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is not in Sunday's lineup as the Diamondbacks look to complete a three-game sweep against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday afternoon. Gurriel has held a strong .361/.442/.500 line in his past ten games but will take a seat for the second time this week. As a result, Pavin Smith will get the starting nod in left field and bat in the five-hole. Smith was recalled from Triple-A Reno earlier this week but has yet to tally a hit since returning to the big leagues. Fantasy managers should expect Gurriel to return to the starting nine as they host the New York Mets on Tuesday evening. Smith should be faded in DFS this afternoon as he will face Boston right-hander Tanner Houck, who has posted a quality start in each of his past three outings.
