Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 1-for-5 with a grand slam and an RBI groundout in Friday's 14-11 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gurriel hit an RBI groundout in the bottom of the fourth inning to cut the Dodgers' lead to 8-4. In his next at-bat, the 31-year-old belted a grand slam off Dodgers pitcher Anthony Banda in the bottom of the fifth inning to tie the game 8-8. His home run traveled 401 feet with an exit velocity of 105.9 mph. He has now collected a hit in six of his last nine games and is hitting .306 (11-for-36) with three home runs and 10 RBI in May. Overall, Gurriel is slashing .213/.238/.418 with seven home runs, 25 RBI, 14 runs, and a stolen base across 151 plate appearances. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with Gurriel while he's swinging a hot bat as he looks to build on Friday's performance in this weekend's series against Los Angeles.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, three total runs, and two walks in Friday's 14-11 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Suarez put the Diamondbacks on top 3-1 with a two-run shot off Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki in the bottom of the first inning. His home run traveled 423 feet with an exit velocity of 108 mph. It was his first home run since his four-homer game back on April 26th. With the bases loaded, Suarez walked to log his third RBI of the game. The 33-year-old is starting to heat up, slashing .320/.430/.520 with a home run, five RBI, and five runs over his 30 plate appearances. Overall, Suarez is slashing .210/.308/.500 with 11 home runs, 26 RBI, 24 runs, and a stolen base over 39 games in 2025. Fantasy managers should continue to start Suarez in all leagues while he's having a strong May.

San Diego Padres first base/outfielder Gavin Sheets went 2-for-4 with two doubles, four RBI, and a run scored in Friday's 13-9 win over the Colorado Rockies. Sheets crushed a three-run double in the top of the fifth inning to give the Padres a 5-0 lead. In his next at-bat, he smacked an RBI double in the sixth inning for his fourth RBI of the game. The 29-year-old has now racked up multi-hit efforts in three of his last six games, hitting .389 (7-for-18) with a home run and six RBI. Overall, Sheets is slashing .284/.345/.461 with four home runs, 18 RBI, 13 runs, and a stolen base across 113 plate appearances in 2025. With two more games in hitter-friendly Coors Field, Sheets has been productive recently and can be used as a streamer in most leagues.


Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown tossed 5 2/3 shutout innings in Friday's 3-0 victory over the Reds, yielding two hits and four walks while striking out nine batters on the way to earning his sixth win of the season. It was his fourth consecutive game with nine K's, but his first non-quality start of the year since he didn't go six innings. Still, the six wins tie him for most in the majors, and the righty's seven other quality starts lead all pitchers. The 26-year-old now boasts a 1.48 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and a 24.3 percent K-BB%, making him fantasy's second-highest scoring pitcher, only behind Max Fried. The 6-foot-2 hurler will take on the Royals at home in his next start, a team that has been surging of late, but Brown faced them once already earlier this season and allowed one earned run while striking out nine batters, so you should keep penciling him into your season-long lineups.

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Thomas White logged five shutout innings during his outing on Friday against High-A Cedar Rapids. In this start, White allowed just two hits and two walks. He struck out eight batters. The budding southpaw has enjoyed a solid start to the High-A campaign. Through his first 25 innings of work, the left-hander has struck out 37 batters and held a 3.24 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP. Last summer, White spent most of his time at High-A, where he held a 2.61 ERA with a 1.16 WHIP across 62 innings of work. During this stint, White struck out 76 batters and allowed 21 free passes. Fantasy managers should expect White to earn a promotion to Double-A in the coming weeks, given his steady progress at High-A.
