Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott had a productive game in a 5-4 loss to the New York Mets on Monday. Stott went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in the close loss. He made things interesting in the ninth, ripping a three-run homer off New York closer Edwin Diaz but the Phillies ultimately fell one run short of tying the game. Stott is now hitting .295 with two homers, 12 runs, 13 RBI, and four steals across 78 at-bats this season. With a pair of 30-steal seasons under his belt, Stott has emerged as a quality speed threat in fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez had a big game in a 6-4 win over the New York Yankees on Monday. Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a homer and four RBI to help power his team to the win. The star infielder hit a three-run homer off New York starter Clarke Schmidt in the third inning to break a scoreless tie and then came back to add an RBI single in the sixth inning. Ramirez is now hitting .276 with five homers, 10 runs, 13 RBI, and three steals across 76 at-bats in 2025. He is starting to heat up at the plate with a .357 average over his past seven games. He remains a must-start fantasy option in all formats.


Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach turned in a quality start in a 7-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. Schwellenbach allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits over seven innings while striking out five and walking none but had to settle for a no-decision. The 24-year-old right-hander picked up nine swinging strikes in the outing while showing his typical excellent command with no walks issued. Schwellenbach now has a 1-1 record, 2.56 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and 27 strikeouts over 31 2/3 innings of work this season. His next start will come against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.


Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio went 1-for-4 with a single in a 5-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Chourio is now hitting .260 with five homers, 17 runs, 19 RBI, and two steals across 100 at-bats. He has been in a bit of a slump at the plate of late, hitting just .179 with no homers and six strikeouts over his past seven games. That being said, Chourio posted a 20/20 season as a 20-year-old rookie in 2024 and should continue to show improvement in his second MLB season. Fantasy managers will want to stay patient with him as he works through his current slump.

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Caleb Durbin turned in a productive game in a 5-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Durbin went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer to provide the only offense for the Brewers in the loss. The rookie infielder now has his first MLB homer under his belt as he launched a 375-foot blast off Giants starter Robbie Ray in the second inning. Durbin was just recalled from Triple-A last week and has posted a .200 average, three runs, three RBI, and a steal across 15 at-bats. He has plenty of speed and is worth monitoring in fantasy in case he's able to reach base consistently as Milwaukee's regular third baseman.
