Oakland Athletics second basemanZack Gelofhad himself quite the day in Sunday's 7-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers. He racked up four hits with a triple and a three-run home run off of Detroit Tigers starterJack Flaherty. He also had three runs and four RBI on the day. This game was finally Gelof's first good game of the season. Overall, he is slashing .243/.349/.432 with a home run, four RBI, eight runs, and two stolen bases over 10 games in 2024. Gelof was a popular breakout candidate before the season started, and his extensive performance on Sunday shows why. Look for Gelof to build off Sunday's performance, and fantasy managers should continue to start him in all leagues.

New York Yankees shortstopAnthony Volpehad an excellent game in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. He went 3-for-4 with two runs and two stolen bases in Sunday's victory. Volpe is off to a scorching hot start to the season, slashing .424/.486/.606 with three stolen bases while plating nine runs over nine games. A breakout season is on the horizon for Volpe, as he is making better contact and striking out less thus far in 2024. Fantasy managers can expect Volpe to steal bases and plate runs for a loaded New York Yankees offense. Look for Volpe to continue his hot hitting in a three-game series against a weakened Miami Marlins rotation starting Monday.

New York Yankees designated hitterGiancarlo Stantonhit his first grand slam of the year in Sunday's 8-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. He launched a pitch from Blue Jays starterBowden Francisinto the left field seats. It was Stanton's only hit (1-for-4) in Sunday's win. Stanton is slashing .219/.242/.531 with three home runs and seven RBI, good for an OPS of .773 over 33 plate appearances in 2024. If Stanton can finally stay healthy for an entire season, he will be a great source of home runs and RBI, albeit with a low batting average and OBP. Look for Stanton to continue being that power source for the Yankees as long as he is healthy.

Houston Astros closer Josh Hader finally grabbed his first save of the season on Sunday in a 3-1 win over the Texas Rangers. Although he allowed a run on a hit and a walk in his inning of work, he (and fantasy managers) will take the save. Hader hasn't been himself this year, as he has now allowed four runs in five innings of work. He has a pair of losses and a blown save as well. The 30-year-old will have a long leash after signing a five-year deal in Houston, so fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned yet.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Shawn Armstrong notched his first save of the season Sunday in a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. This save was of the two-inning variety, as Armstrong threw the eighth and ninth. He allowed an inherited runner to score in the eighth and one of his own in the ninth to make things interesting but escaped with the save. Of note in this one is that presumed closer Pete Fairbanks wasn't used for the second day in a row in a save situation. He gave up three runs and took the loss on Friday while struggling with control and then wasn't used either of the past two days, so this is a situation worth monitoring. Fairbanks should still be rostered in all leagues where saves count, and Armstrong isn't worth rostering in most leagues. Jason Adam, however, could be a nice handcuff to have for Fairbanks owners.
