Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman went 2-for-3 with a double and a homer in a 5-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Goodman was one of the lone bright spots for the Rockies in the loss as they fell to 1-4 on the season. The 25-year-old catcher is off to a fast start this season, hitting .368 with three doubles, two homers, three runs, and three RBI through 19 at-bats. After hitting 13 homers in just 211 at-bats in 2024, Goodman is emerging as an interesting fantasy catcher in all leagues.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story turned in a big game in a 3-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Story went 3-for-4 with a solo homer to help power Boston to the victory over their division rivals. The veteran shortstop took Baltimore starter Zach Eflin deep in the second inning on a blast that traveled 394 feet with an exit velocity of 102.2 MPH. Story has been off to a slow start this season as he had just two hits coming into the game. He will hope his three-hit performance on Wednesday jump-starts his bat going forward.

Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson extended his hitting streak to seven games during Wednesday's loss to the Chicago Cubs. In this contest, Wilson went 3-for-4 at the plate with a double. This was his first multi-hit outing of the regular season. Over his previous six games, Wilson tallied at least one hit in all of them. He hit his first career MLB home run on March 31. The former sixth overall selection received a brief taste of the major leagues last season before suffering a season-ending hamstring injury. However, he was able to win the starting shortstop job during camp and has become a valuable asset in all fantasy formats. Through seven games this season, the 23-year-old has held an overall .375/.375/.542 slash line with three runs and two RBI. Even though he typically bats at the back-half of the lineup, he is a viable starting middle infielder in all leagues, especially if you are looking to boost your batting average production.

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Luke Jackson closed the door on the Reds on Wednesday afternoon in Cincinnati. Jackson entered a 1-0 game at the start of the ninth inning and gave up a single to TJ Friedl. With the tying run on base, he struck out Matt McLain and got Elly De La Cruz to ground out to 2B to close out the victory, as the Rangers improved to 5-2 on the season. Jackson has now made four appearances this season and has bounced back nicely after taking the loss on Opening Day. He has closed out all three of his save opportunities and remains the team's primary closer, although Chris Martin is also a secondary option with a save and two holds in his 4 1/3 scoreless innings in the early part of the season.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease earned his first win of the season with a strong outing on Wednesday afternoon, holding the Guardians to one run on four hits in 6 1/3 innings at Petco Park. Cease picked up seven strikeouts and had a shutout going before running into trouble in the seventh. The bullpen finished the job, though, and the Padres held on for the 5-2 victory to complete the sweep and improve to an impressive 7-0. For Cease, it was a nice bounce-back outing after giving up three runs and only lasting 4 1/3 innings in his first start of the season against the Braves. He was back in his ace form on Wednesday and will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled for next Tuesday against the Athletics in hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park.
