Stephen Kolek To Make Another Start On Saturday

San Diego Padres right-hander Stephen Kolek will remain in the team's starting rotation and make another start on Saturday at hitter-friendly Coors Field against the division-rival Colorado Rockies. Kolek will get another starting opportunity for the Friars after he tossed 5 1/3 shutout innings with two walks and four strikeouts for his first win of the season last Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 28-year-old will get another amazing matchup against the last-place Rockies, but the venue in the thin air in Denver will also make him a pretty volatile fantasy streamer. Still, Kolek will be a pretty interesting streamer coming off a strong first outing against a Colorado offense that ranks second-to-last in team OPS at .623. If Kolek continues to pitch well in a starting role, he could remain in SD's rotation until the Padres get right-hander Yu Darvish (elbow) back.

Cade Cavalli Starting At Triple-A On Friday

Washington Nationals right-handed pitching prospect Cade Cavalli (elbow) will make the start for Triple-A Rochester on Friday, according to The Washington Post's Spencer Nusbaum. Cavalli had to skip just one start after exiting his outing early on April 29 due to arm fatigue. The team's No. 7 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, continues to rehab from Tommy John surgery. In his three minor-league rehab starts to this point (one each with Single-A Fredericksburg, Double-A Harrisburg and Rochester, Cavalli has allowed three earned runs on six hits while walking four and striking out nine in 11 innings. The former 22nd overall pick in 2020 out of Oklahoma made his big-league debut in 2022, giving up seven earned runs in 4 1/3 innings of work before getting injured. The Nats aren't going to rush him back in 2025, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to return until some point in the second half.

Wyatt Langford Steals Two Bags In Loss To BoSox

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford went 1-for-4 with a single and two steals in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox. He's up to six swipes in 2025 to match his home run total. The Florida native has been superb since returning from the IL with an oblique injury, batting first or second in all but two appearances and at least one hit in 13 of 16 games. During that time frame, Langford is a stellar 19-for-59 (.322) with six extra-base hits (four doubles, two homers), four steals, six runs scored, and eight RBI. He's striking out a bit more over that stretch (27.1%), but he's also slightly ticked up his walk rate (11.8%). Considering his lineup placement, it's surprising to see his run figure so low in the hot streak, but that should regress positively if he continues to get on base at an elevated clip.

Trea Turner Swipes Ninth Bag Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in his team's 7-6 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. The North Carolina State product added a single and stole his ninth bag of the season in the victory. Turner did all of his damage in the eighth inning or later on Thursday. He doubled in that frame -- but was left stranded -- and ultimately pushed across the game's winning run in the top of the tenth when he singled in Brandon Marsh off Rays reliever Manuel Rodriguez. He stole second a batter later. The former first-round pick has been excellent recently, tallying at least one knock in 12 of 13 appearances with seven multi-hit efforts -- including three straight. Over that stretch, he's a blistering 23-for-58 (.396) with four extra-base hits, three steals, eight RBI, and ten runs scored. Turner is up to a crisp .310 on the season.

Padres Reinstate Jake Cronenworth From 10-Day Injured List

The San Diego Padres announced on Friday that they reinstated infielder Jake Cronenworth (rib) from the 10-day injured list and optioned outfielder Oscar Gonzalez to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers will want to check back later, but Cronenworth should be back at second base for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Colorado Rockies and right-hander Antonio Senzatela at Coors Field. Cronenworth's return will push veteran Jose Iglesias back to a bench role. The 31-year-old Cronenworth will return after missing a month due to a non-displaced rib fracture that he suffered while being hit by a pitch. He went 3-for-7 with a home run during three minor-league rehab games and should return to being SD's everyday second baseman. Crone was hitting .257 (9-for-35) in the early going with two homers, five RBI and seven runs scored before going on the IL.
