Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe went 2-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in an 11-9 win over the Dodgers on Saturday. His 10th home run of the season came in the seventh inning and was a go-ahead, three-run shot that gave the Angels a 9-7 lead. The 6-foot-2 backstop had been cold coming into the contest, going 2-for-27 (.074) in the previous eight games heading into Saturday. The right-handed hitter's slash line currently stands at .254/.289/.485 with a .334 wOBA and 114 wRC+. With 14 runs scored and 23 RBI, he still ranks within the top 10 in fantasy scoring at the catcher position. A 68.2 percent contact rate and 33.1 percent strikeoutrate don't foretell a return to a solid batting average, but a 17.0 percent barrel rate should mean the home runs will continue throughout theseason.


Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson continued his hot month of May against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. Swanson started off his day with a single, steal, and a run scored in the second inning. He would later smack a solo home run off Sean Burke in the fifth inning. Swanson would finish this game 2-for-3 with a solo homer, one RBI, two steals, and two walks in the win. The veteran shortstop is hitting .389 with three homers and eight RBI over his last 11 games. Fantasy managers should keep him in their starting lineups going forward.


Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott came into this game in a bad slump, but was able to have a productive game on Saturday. Stott connected on a solo home run off right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski in the third inning. He did a little bit of everything in this game as he went 2-for-5 with a homer, three RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base in the win. Hopefully this nice performance will help Stott get back on track. Despite his slump, Stott is still worth rostering and starting in most 12-team formats.



Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford put together a nice outing at the plate during Saturday's game against the Houston Astros. Langford got his team on the board with an RBI single in the third inning. He smacked a home run in the seventh inning to give his team another insurance run. Langford ended this game going 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI, and a stolen base in the win. The 23-year-old doesn't have pretty slash line, but does have three homers over his last six games. Langford also has eight steals on the season, which does help his fantasy value. He does enough at the plate to be valuable despite a lackluster slash line.


Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Enrique Hernandez got on base in all five plate appearances in Saturday's 11-9 loss to the Angels, going 2-for-2 with his seventhhome run of the year and drawing three walks. The 33-year-old recorded one RBI and scored three times in the contest as well. Since May 7, the veteran is 10-for-27 (.370) with a double, two home runs, three RBI, eight runs scored, and a 4:4 BB:K, hitting up and down the Dodger lineup and playing all over the field. His positional versatility (1B, 2B, 3B, SS, and OF on Yahoo!) makes him an appealingwaiver add in season-long leagues while he's hitting well, and can be a cheap DFS option in good matchups. Speaking of which, the right-handed hitter will face off againstlefty Yusei Kikuchi in Sunday's series finale, whom he is 5-for-16 off of lifetime with a double, two walks, and zero strikeouts.
