Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez made his 2025 season debut on Sunday at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks and got hit around quite a bit in this contest. Suarez only lasted 3 2/3 innings after giving up seven hits, seven earned runs on two walks, and six strikeouts. The encouraging sign here is that he did throw the 82 pitches, meaning he is fully stretched out for a starter workload. Still, the Diamondbacks' offense welcomed Suarez back to the MLB, and it was difficult for fantasy managers to see this level of production in his first start back from a back issue that was delaying his start to the 2025 campaign. The Phillies' offense got Suarez off the hook for the loss, as the game was back and forth all afternoon with the Diamondbacks holding on to win 11-9 in extra innings. Next up for Suarez is a road battle against the Cleveland Guardians over the weekend.

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitching prospect Hagen Smith tossed six shutout innings on Sunday during his start against Double-A Pensacola. In this outing, Smith struck out six batters and allowed just four hits and two walks. This was his third-straight game tallying at least six punchouts in a given outing. The White Sox drafted the southpaw with the fifth pick in the 2024 MLB Draft out of Arkansas. After the draft, Smith made his professional debut with High-A and logged seven 2/3 innings to the tune of a 3.52 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. He was able to open the 2025 campaign with Double-A, where he has posted an impressive 2.28 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP across 23 2/3 innings. He has struck out 38 batters but served up 18 walks. If he continues to progress well, he should be in the mix to move up to Triple-A later this season.

Detroit Tigers shortstop Trey Sweeney had a career day on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. In the afternoon, he went 4-for-5 with six RBI, two runs scored, and one home run. The six RBI in a single game was a career high for him, and the four hits tied his career best. The Tigers went on to win this contest 13-1 over the Halos and left their four-game series with them taking three out of four. On the season, Sweeney improved his slash line to .234/.317/.355. Sweeney, a former first-round pick in 2021, is now on a five-game hitting streak and will look to keep that going on Tuesday as the Tigers start a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies. For now, Sweeney can be left on the waiver wire in most 10-12 team leagues, but is worth keeping an eye on as the season progresses.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Reese Olson got his fourth win of the season (4-2) after the Tigers pounced all over the Angels on Sunday to win 13-1 and take three out of four games in the series against the Halos. Olson pitched with the lead most of the afternoon and was sharp through his 5 innings of work, only allowing three hits, three walks, and striking out eight. Although the three walks are a bit concerning, overall, it was an excellent afternoon for Olson as his season ERA now sits at 3.03. Over his last four outings, Olson owns a 1.14 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 27:9 K: BB over 23.2 innings. Next up for Olson is a home matchup against the Rangers. The Rangers' bats have struggled lately, so fantasy managers can continue to roll out Olson confidently.

Detroit Tigers second baseman Colt Keith blasted his third home run of the season in Sunday's 13-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The Tigers' offense brought their A-game on Sunday afternoon, scoring 13 runs on 16 hits and blasting three home runs. Keith's home run came in the third inning with one on and two out to extend the Tigers' early lead to 5-0. In addition to the home run, Keith walked twice and had a single, scored three times, and finished 2-for-3 on the afternoon. Keith is showing signs of life lately, after not doing much offensively thus far in the 2025 season. Sunday's performance improved his slash line to .222/.364/.722 for the season. Next for Keith and the Tigers is an off day on Monday, followed by a three-game series in Coors Field.
