Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich turned in a productive day in a 5-1 win over the Houston Astros on Monday. Yelich went 1-for-3 with a homer, a walk, two runs, two RBI, and a stolen base in the winning effort. The veteran outfielder launched a two-run homer in the third inning to push Milwaukee's lead to 3-0 in the contest. Yelich owns a rough .210 batting average, but he's producing across the board despite it, with six homers, 17 runs, 25 RBI, and seven steals over 124 at-bats. He remains a high-end fantasy outfielder in all leagues.


Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson had a productive game in a 9-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Swanson went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs, and two RBI to help lift the Cubs to the win. The veteran shortstop got off to a slow start in 2025 but has come on strong of late, hitting .462 with three homers and five RBI over his past seven contests. Overall, he's hitting .232 with seven doubles, seven homers, 25 runs, 20 RBI, and four steals across 142 at-bats this season.


St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras had a big game in a 6-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. Contreras went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer to help power the Cardinals to the victory. The veteran is off to a solid start in 2025, hitting .252 with five homers, 15 runs, 19 RBI, and two steals across 135 at-bats. He is currently enjoying a hot streak as he's hitting .417 with three homers and 10 RBI over his past seven games. Fantasy gamers should lock Contreras into their lineups while he's seeing the ball well at the plate.


New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in a 4-3 loss to the San Diego Padres on Monday. Grisham lifted his ninth homer of the season off New York starter Nick Pivetta in the third inning to give his team an early 2-0 lead. The veteran is putting together a strong start to the season for the Yankees, hitting .298 with nine homers, 17 runs, and 17 RBI across 84 at-bats. Grisham will look to continue his early-season success after hitting just nine homers in 76 games for New York last season. He's worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues while he's having success at the plate.


New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso continued his early-season hot streak with a big game in a 5-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer to help lead the Mets to the win. The veteran slugger gave the Mets a 2-1 lead with a two-run shot in the top of the fourth inning, a blast that traveled 425 feet with an exit velocity of 111.6 MPH. Alonso is now hitting .349 with nine homers, 26 runs, and 33 RBI across 129 at-bats this season as he stakes his claim as one of the premier power-hitting first basemen in all of fantasy.
