Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton went 2-for-5 with a single and a double in Monday's 10-4 win against the Athletics. The veteran drove in five, scored a run, hit a sac fly, and swiped a bag. Buxton doubled home teammates Kody Clemens and Ty France in the top of the second to give the Twins a 4-0 lead and knocked in the pair again in the top of the sixth with a two-out RBI single. Then, the former first-round pick drove in his fifth run with a sac fly in the ninth. He's recorded two hits in each of his three appearances since returning from a concussion -- batting a crisp .353 (6-for-17) with four runs scored, eight RBI, and two steals. The theft was his tenth of the year -- matching his home run total.

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio will join the team in Los Angeles for the rest of their series against the Dodgers, after Mark Vientos (hamstring) suffered an injury in the tenth inning of Monday night's win. Mauricio played 26 games for the Mets in 2023 and is a key prospect for them going forward, but missed all of 2024 and got a late start to this season after suffering a torn ACL in the Dominican Winter League in December of 2023. After playing 10 games in the lower minors, Mauricio has looked excellent in nine games in Triple-A with the Syracuse Mets. He went 17-for-33 (.515) with three home runs, four stolen bases, a .583 wOBA, and a 48.3% hard-hit rate in that small sample size. He could step right into an everyday role at 3B if Vientos is out a while, and his well-rounded prospect profile with power, speed, and contact makes him a great pickup in standard leagues. He has a very high ceiling and will likely end up with eligibility at multiple positions while making contributions in multiple categories if he stays in the majors the rest of the year.

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. was hit on the right hand by a pitch in the second inning of Monday night's game against the Padres and was replaced in the next half-inning by Casey Schmitt. He had an X-ray on his hand, but manager Bob Melvin said that the X-ray was negative, and he is day-to-day while dealing with a contusion. Schmitt will likely get most of the playing time if Wade misses a few games, and Jerar Encarnacion could also be in the mix after making his season debut on Monday night. Wade has struggled this season, hitting only .167 with one home run and a .251 wOBA in his 50 games. Schmitt has only hit .186 with a .264 wOBA in his 16 games, so neither option has been on the fantasy radar at this point. Encarnacion has a very high ceiling, so monitor his playing time and see if anyone can emerge as a fantasy option at the position for the Giants.

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos (hamstring) went down with an apparent hamstring injury in the 10th inning of his team's 4-3 win over the Dodgers on Monday night. After entering the game as a pinch-hitter in the designated hitter spot, he grounded out in his second at-bat for the third out of the 10th inning. He fell to the ground and stayed down for a minute before walking off with only a little help from the training staff. After the game, manager Carlos Mendoza said that Vientos was undergoing testing but that it "didn't look good." If Vientos is forced to miss time, prospect Ronny Mauricio could be called on to help fill in. Mauricio is hitting .323 in his 19 games in the minors this season with three homers, six stolen bases, and a .389 wOBA. He can play a variety of infield positions, and his multi-faceted potential makes him a great target in standard leagues if he gets to play in an everyday role for the Mets.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 4-3 road win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also singled and notched his eleventh steal of the season. The fantasy stalwart didn't take long to leave his mark on this one, blasting Dodgers starter Dustin May's second offering of the matchup 417 feet over the right-field wall. That was homer No. 14 for him, and the sixth time he's done so to lead off a game -- tying him with Shohei Ohtani for the major-league lead and putting him one behind Curtis Granderson for the most in a single season in Mets' history. He'd also notch a clutch RBI single in the top of the tenth inning to push the go-ahead run across in teammate Starling Marte. Lindor is up to four homers in as many games with three multi-hit outings in that stretch.
