New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo continued his hot offensive June in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees. Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, three RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. Nimmo got in on the slugfest in the fourth inning, lining a Gerrit Cole offering into the right-field seats for the team's fourth HR. The 31-year-old has picked things up in June after a slow start to the season, slashing .321/.384/.590 with five HR and 17 RBI in 78 at-bats. He has been a reliable fantasy option throughout his career and thankfully appears to have gotten back on that track in June.


New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos stayed hot at the plate in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees. Vientos went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and a strikeout. Vientos hit the first of four HR off of Gerrit Cole in the second inning and added another one in the fourth inning. The 24-year-old has put together a solid offensive season, slashing .297/.349/.576 with nine HR, 21 runs scored, and 20 RBI in 129 plate appearances. Vientos' biggest skill is his power, so he should continue to be a fantasy contributor if he can provide that along with a serviceable batting average.


New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge continued what has been another excellent season in Tuesday's 9-7 slugfest loss to the Mets. Judge went 2-for-3 with a double, a grand slam, and a walk. He was also hit by a pitch. Judge attempted to fuel a late comeback, sneaking an eighth-inning Reed Garrett fastball just over the center-field fence to put the Yankees behind by two. The 32-year-old is putting together a stellar offensive season, slashing .304/.428/.700 with 29 HR, 60 runs scored, 75 RBI, and five stolen bases. He is currently leading baseball in HR and RBI and is fourth in runs scored. Judge is proving once again that he is a top overall fantasy option.



Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott picked up his 10th save of the season in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Royals. Scott came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by one. He got the first out on a fly-out, allowed a single, and got the final two outs on a line-out and a ground-out. The 29-year-old has converted all but two save opportunities with a 1.59 ERA and a 9.26 K/9 rate in 34 innings of work. However, walks have returned as a big issue, as Scott has a 6.09 BB/9 rate. Additionally, he has not seen as many save opportunities as higher-end closers because of the Marlins' poor performance. His fantasy value may be limited, but he should continue to be a useful fantasy option in roto leagues.


Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Seth Lugo turned in another excellent effort in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Marlins. Lugo pitched six scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks with eight strikeouts. The 34-year-old emerged as a surprise fantasy starter last season and has been even better in 2024, going 10-2 with a 2.29 ERA, a 7.77 K/9 rate, and a 2.13 BB/9 rate in 17 starts and 110 IP. The veteran has been a fantasy steal and All-Star, considering he was drafted outside the top 250 picks on average coming into the season. He will face a tough test against the Guardians in his next start, but he has simply been too good to sit.
