Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio went 3-for-5 in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rays. All three hits were singles, but it was still a fruitful day for fantasyas he also scored once and stole two bases in the contest. The 21-year-old is off to a fine start this season, now with a .267-6-24-24-5 stat line with a .323 wOBA and 104 wRC+, ranking him as one of the top 40 players in fantasy, however, it could be better. The right-handed hitter is walking at a minuscule 1.8 percent rate, leading to a poor .282 on-base percentage. If he can start to work more counts and get on base more, then more steals and runs should follow; last season the Venezuelan'swalk rate was below league average, but was still much higher at 6.8 percent. Nevertheless, he remains one of fantasy's five-category contributors and should remain a top 40 option throughout theyear.

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Enrique Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI, and three runs scored in Friday's 14-11 win over the Diamondbacks. The veteran'sbatting average may not show it as it sits at .215, but he's been somewhat productive in the lineup, now with six homeruns on the year with 15 RBI, and 12 runs scored in 87 plate appearances, leading to a .317 wOBA and 102 wRC+. He is not a preferred option for fantasy without regular at-bats, though, despitebeing eligible at 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, and OF on Yahoo!. If the 33-year-old found regular ABs, then he would be in consideration for a roster spot, as he's clearly still got some pop in his bat, although a career high 13.8 percentbarrel rate is sure to regress, but for now, he is a just a cheap DFS option unless you play in an NL-only league.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (oblique) is playing catch, hitting batting practice in the cage and completing defensive drills on a daily basis, according to MLive's Evan Woodbery. Rogers began playing catch in late April and has now increased his baseball activities as he rehabs from a strained left oblique. Barring any setbacks once he starts a minor-league rehab assignment, the 30-year-old veteran backstop is expected to rejoin the big-league squad in late May. In just six games this year before his injury, Rogers had gone 4-for-18 with a triple, three runs scored, four walks and five strikeouts for the Tigers. Rogers had a career-high 21 homers and 49 RBI in 107 games in 2023 but finished with just 10 long balls last year. Like most catchers, he struggles to make contact and isn't going to hit for average, but he should play regularly while splitting time with Dillon Dingler when he returns.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Wenceel Perez (back) is completing defensive drills, playing catching, hitting batting practice in the cage and is progressing through a running progression, according to MLive's Evan Woodbery. Perez is finally doing baseball activities again after receiving two cortisone shots to help his lumbar-spine inflammation. The 25-year-old is currently on the 60-day injured list, so he won't be able to return to the Tigers until at least late May, but if he's able to start a minor-league rehab assignment soon, he could rejoin the big-league club when he's eligible. In his rookie season in 2024, Perez slashed .242/.300/.383 with nine home runs, 37 RBI, nine steals and 51 runs in 112 games played. He is versatile (can play middle infield) and has speed to spare, but he may not see enough playing time when he's ready to return to justify a roster spot in deep-mixed fantasy leagues.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Parker Meadows (arm) is playing catch daily and is also completing conditioning, defensive drills and his hitting progression daily, according to MLive's Evan Woodbery. Meadows is recovering from right upper-arm inflammation and was only playing light catch in April. Because of the fact that he's on the 60-day injured list, the earliest the 25-year-old could return would be late May. It sounds like he has made progress since last month, but he will still need to go on a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment, so our best guess is that we won't see him make his 2025 season debut until sometime in June. Meadows struggled early in 2024 and then missed time with a hamstring injury, but he hit .296/.340/.500 with six homers and five steals in 47 regular-season games in the second half. When healthy, he could be the starting center fielder in Detroit against right-handed pitching.
