Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo picked up his fifth win of the season in a 6-1 win over the Padres. He allowed one run on five hits while striking out five over seven innings. Woo has been one of the most consistent pitchers in all of baseball this season, with all nine of his starts being six innings or more. He's a quality start machine, with seven so far on the year. He'll carry a 2.65 ERA and a 55:8 K:BB into his next start, set to be in Houston against the Astros.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly earned the win in a 1-0 win over the Rockies on Sunday, striking out 11 over seven scoreless innings. He allowed one hit and walked three. Kelly has been very solid this season, as he hasn't given up more than three runs in a start since he gave up nine in his first start of the year on April 3. His ERA is now down to an excellent 3.26 with 52 strikeouts and 15 walks in 58 innings. The spike in strikeouts in this start is likely due to Colorado's poor offense more than anything else, but Kelly will look to carry this momentum into his next start, which lines up against the Cardinals.


Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams went 3-for-5 with two home runs, one double, two RBI, and three runs scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Orioles. He now has four home runs in his last six games and is slashing .312/.368/.574 with eight home runs, 18 RBI, 24 runs, and nine stolen bases in 35 games on the season. He's on pace to blow by the 20 home runs and 31 stolen bases he totaled in 2024, and looks like a true five-category standout for fantasy.


Cincinnati Reds outfielder Will Benson led the charge on Sunday, hitting two home runs and driving in all three of the Reds' runs in their 3-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Benson has been on an absolute tear at the dish, hitting homers in four consecutive games and driving in 10 runs over that stretch. The 26-year-old had a rough 2024 season and was in Triple-A to start this season, but hit well in the minors and earned a call-up on May 10. In his short time in the majors, Benson is now up to a .367 AVG with six runs scored, five homers, 11 RBI, and a stolen base in 30 at-bats. There was some hype around Benson in years past, and he might be finally breaking out. Even though it is a small sample size, Benson is worth a look in standard-size leagues in hopes he can keep it going.



San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Ryan Walker worked a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his eighth save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Athletics on Sunday. Walker struck out one and didn't allow a baserunner in this one. He is now 5-for-7 in saves with a 5.29 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 16 strikeouts in 17 IP on the year. The 29-year-old has had a difficult start to his season, but that hasn't deterred the Giants from using him in high-leverage opportunities. While he has ceded some saves to Camilo Doval, he still appears to be the go-to reliever for the Giants. That could change if his struggles continue, but for now Walker should remain rostered in all leagues where saves matter.
