Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Josh Naylor went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, and two RBI in his team's 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The former first-round pick got the scoring started for the Diamondbacks, driving in Corbin Carroll when he grounded into a double-play in the first inning. His next RBI came in the bottom of the fifth when he rocked a double to the right-field corner. Despite not connecting on a home run yet, Naylor has been strong to start 2025. He's batting a crisp 13-for-43 (.302) with five doubles, six RBI, six runs scored, and an impressive 3:7 K:BB ratio. The 27-year-old's launch angle is down a smidge so far this season, but he's been hitting the ball harder in early 2025 than he had last year (91.6 MPH).

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz will draw out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals at PNC Park. With Cruz resting in the matinee, Jack Suwinski will slide to center field and bat leadoff, with Tommy Pham manning left field and batting eighth against Cardinals right-hander Erick Fedde. Cruz was hit by a pitch late in Tuesday's contest against St. Louis but stayed in the game, so perhaps his day of rest is related to that. The team has an off day on Thursday before beginning a series on Friday in Cincinnati against the division-rival Reds, so fantasy managers will want to check back then to see if the 26-year-old is back in the lineup. Cruz has gotten off to a .211 (8-for-38) start, but he doe have two homers, a double, five RBI and a league-leading seven steals in 12 games played.

The Chicago Cubs have placed left-handed pitcher Justin Steele (elbow) on the 15-day injured list due to left elbow tendinitis. In a corresponding move, the Cubs promoted right-handed pitcher Ethan Roberts from Triple-A Iowa. Steele enjoyed his best outing of the season on Monday evening against the Texas Rangers and did not show any signs of an injury. In this outing, the southpaw tossed seven shutout innings. He struck out eight and allowed just three hits and two walks. In his first three starts, Steele held a modest 6.89 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP across 15 2/3 innings of work. With Steele sidelined, fantasy managers should expect either Colin Rea or Brad Keller to shift from the bullpen into a starting role. In addition, top pitching prospect Cade Horton could also be in the mix if Steele has an extended absence. Rea and Keller would only be worth targeting in NL-only formats if they join the rotation.UPDATE: Steele thinks he'll spend the minimum time on the IL, for what it's worth.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder) left Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Athletics early with left-shoulder discomfort, according to manager Mike Shildt. The skipper also said that Tatis is "checking out medically." "We erred on the side of caution and we'll evaluate. Everything seems to be intact and good shape and strength good, and he's not overly concerned." The 26-year-old superstar appeared to injure his shoulder on a swing in his second at-bat of the game, but he stayed in for a while longer before eventually being pulled. While the injury doesn't seem to be a big concern right now, fantasy managers will remember that Tatis has had issues with his left shoulder in the past, even requiring surgery. At the very least, expect him to be out through Thursday's off day, but he could also miss time going into a weekend home series against the division-rival Colorado Rockies.

Colorado Rockies catching prospect Braxton Fulford went 2-for-4 with two home runs during Tuesday's contest at Triple-A Sugar Land. Fulford has been flashing upside-down power throughout the opening week of the Triple-A regular season. Fulford has gone deep at least once in each of his past three games. Through eight total games, the backstop has hit five long balls and held a .308/.379/.923 slash line. He has tallied eight RBI and scored seven runs. The Texas Tech product spent most of the 2024 season with Double-A and is taking the next steps in his development. Last season, the 26-year-old held a .241/.341/.412 slash line with 10 home runs across 92 games. Fulford could be in the mix to make his MLB debut later this summer if he continues to produce at this rate.
