St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman continued his power surge in Tuesday's victory against the Philadelphia Phillies. The slugger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and has now homered three times over the last three games. Gorman got off to a very slow start to open the season, but his power has shown up to remind managers as to why they picked him in the first place. Gorman is now hitting .222 with three homers and eight RBI. Power has never been a question with Gorman, but his career .232 batting average will hurt managers. The Cardinals also have Tommy Edman (wrist) on the 10-day injured list that could look to steal playing time from Gorman when he eventually returns. For now, playing time should not be an issue for Gorman and managers should enjoy the hot-bat that he swinging at the moment.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's victory against the Minnesota Twins. The home run would be the second in as many days for the outfielder that was struggling entering the week. Outman was hot and cold in 2023, but dominant when things were going right. Outman's performance raises his average to .175, but five of his seven hits on the season have come over the last six games. As an everyday player in one of the best lineups in the league, Outman should be rostered in most formats. He will look to make it three games in a row with a homer versus Chris Paddack and the Twins on Wednesday.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Louie Varland was hit hard in a loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. The right-hander recorded five innings in the box score and allowed seven hits, six runs, three walks and struck out six on the evening. Other than the strikeouts, Varland didn't do much to help managers. Varland was a popular sleeper in the fantasy community entering 2024, but over two starts has allowed nine earned runs on 13 hits with five walks and 10 strikeouts. It is only two starts so managers might not want to panic drop the right-hander just yet. Varland will look to get back on track in a matchup versus the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Chad Green picked up his second save of the season on Tuesday versus the Seattle Mariners. The veteran tossed 1 1/3 innings and allowed a walk with one strikeout. Green has now appeared in five games and allowed two runs, but has been perfect in two save opportunities. It's encouraging to see Green in a high leverage role after dealing with injuries the past couple of seasons, but his time as a closer is nearing its end with closer Jordan Romano (elbow) and eighth inning arm Erik Swanson (forearm) both on their rehab assignments and nearing their returns. Regardless, Green can still have value in leagues that count holds.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 2-for-3 with a walk and stolen base in Tuesday's loss against the St. Louis Cardinals. The stolen base would be his fourth on the young season. Turner had a slow first week of the season, but has now hits safely five times over his last eight at-bats. Managers should not have ever worried with Turner and he remains of the best options at the shortstop position and in general with his ability to help all across the board. It also does not hurt that he hits near the top of a good lineup. Turner will bring his .295 batting average into Wednesday's series finale against veteran Lance Lynn.
