Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene turned in a big game in an 8-5 loss to the Houston Astros on Monday. Greene went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI but it wasn't enough to overpower the Astros. The veteran outfielder hit a solo shot in the fourth inning and came back with a two-run homer in the eighth. Greene is now hitting .234 with six homers, 14 runs, and 16 RBI across 111 at-bats this season. He now has three homers and eight RBI over his past seven games.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Felix Bautista tossed a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 4-3 win over the New York Yankees on Monday. Bautista was sharp in the frame, striking out two on 14 pitches without allowing a baserunner. The veteran reliever continues to be a stable piece to the Baltimore bullpen as he now has a 2.25 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 10 strikeouts over eight innings of work while converting all four of his save chances. He remains an above-average fantasy closer in all formats.

Baltimore Orioles DH Ryan O'Hearn added to his homer total in a 4-3 win over the New York Yankees on Monday. O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a three-run blast to lead the way to the victory over New York. The veteran is off to a fast start in 2025, hitting .300 with five homers, 11 runs, 11 RBI, and one stolen base across 70 at-bats. O'Hearn is worth a look in deeper, AL-only fantasy formats as a potential reserve going forward.


Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman turned in a productive game in a 6-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Monday. Goodman provided all of the offense for his team, going 1-for-4 with a three-run homer. The 25-year-old backstop launched a 402-foot blast in the first inning to give the Rockies an early lead, but that was all they would be able to muster against Atlanta. Goodman is now hitting .256 with five homers, 15 runs, and 14 RBI across 90 at-bats this season. He is in the midst of a hot streak, hitting .308 with two homers and six RBI over his past seven contests.

Atlanta Braves right-hander Bryce Elder turned in a quality start in a 6-3 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday. Elder allowed three runs on five hits over six innings while striking out four and walking two to pick up the win. The veteran picked up seven swinging strikes on the way to improving his record to 1-1, to go along with a 5.33 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and 16 strikeouts over 27 innings of work this season. With a bloated ERA and low strikeout rate, Elder isn't of much interest in fantasy unless it is as a streaming option in plus matchups.
