New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 3-for-3 with three runs, a home run, and two walks during their victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Nimmo enjoyed a perfect day at the plate. Nimmo would go deep in the seventh inning with a solo shot off St. Louis reliever John King. Nimmo was dealing with an illness earlier in the week but appears to have found his footing. Over his last 12 contests, Nimmo has posted a solid .283/.320/.500 slash line with one double, three long balls, and 13 RBI. Through 31 total games, Nimmo sits with a modest .229/.279/.441 line. However, his .350 xwOBA and .274 xBA suggest he should continue to see positive regression throughout the campaign. He remains a strong option in all formats on Saturday, facing St. Louis right-hander Erick Fedde.

Chicago Cubs right-handed pitcher Chris Flexen earned his first save of the season during their demanding victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday evening. Flexen was called on to log the last three innings of work after starter Ben Brown tossed six shutout frames. With the Cubs holding a sizeable lead throughout the evening, they did not call on their typically high-leverage options. Flexen allowed just one hit and two walks across his three innings of work. He did not allow a run and struck out four. This was the 30-year-old's first appearance for the Cubs this season. He opened the campaign with Triple-A, but given the season-ending injury to Justin Steele (elbow), the Cubs may opt to keep Flexen on the MLB roster. Last summer, the veteran tossed 160 innings of work to the tune of a 4.95 ERA with the White Sox, operating primarily as a starting pitcher. He could eventually earn spot starts, but for now, he should not be targeted in any formats, serving in a bulk relief role.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo tossed 6 1/3 innings of one-hit ball en route to earning the victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday evening. Woo did not allow a run or a walk. He struck out eight batters for the second straight outing. This was Woo's first scoreless start of the young campaign. His lone hit allowed came in the fifth inning when Texas backstop Jonah Heim hit a line drive to center field. Through Woo's first 38 1/3 innings of the campaign, the Cal Poly product has posted an impressive 2.58 ERA with a strong 0.83 WHIP. Woo has flashed elite command with a 38:7 K:BB. Last season, Woo logged a career-high 121 1/3 innings and showed similar control as he served up walks at a 2.8 percent rate. Given his strong command, Woo remains a must-start option in all formats and should continue to boost your team's WHIP ratio. In addition, he is showing higher strikeout upside, which could open the door for him to enjoy a career year.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto continued his impressive start to the campaign with another brilliant outing on Friday evening against the Atlanta Braves. Yamamoto logged six scoreless innings en route to earning his fourth victory. Yamamoto struck out six batters and allowed just one hit and two walks. His only hit came in the sixth inning when third baseman Austin Riley hit a double. Both of his free passes were served up to designated hitter Marcell Ozuna. Through his first 40 innings of the season (seven starts), Yamamoto has posted a 4-2 record with a stellar 0.90 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP. During this stretch, the right-hander has posted a 49:13 K:BB and allowed just two home runs. Under the hood, he has generated a 61.5 percent ground-ball rate and sits in the 89th percentile in xERA. He remains a must-start option in all formats..

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones hit his ninth home run of the Double-A regular season on Friday during their contest against Richmond. Jones went 1-for-4 at the plate with two walks and two punchouts. This outing also extended his current hitting streak to five games. During this stretch, he has gone deep twice and held a 9:6 K:BB. After an underwhelming season at Double-A last summer, the No. 3-ranked prospect in the Yankee system appears to be taking the next step in his development. Through the first 25 games of the 2025 campaign, Jones has held a .236/.382/.573 slash line, which is a strong improvement compared to the .259/.336/.452 line he held across 122 games at Double-A last summer. If Jones continues to hit for power, he could earn the call to Triple-A.
