Atlanta Braves designated hitter
Marcell Ozuna helped lead the club's offensive onslaught in a 12-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday. Ozuna came to the plate in the seventh inning in a 4-4 tie and slammed a three-run homer off right-hander
Victor Vodnik to give the Braves the lead for good. He finished the night 1-for-4 with four RBI and a pair of strikeouts. Ozuna has just two HRs in a 19-game span, though he has been playing through a hip injury that may be sapping him of power.. The 34-year-old is still hitting a highly effective .257/.392/.430 with a career-best 17.8% walk rate in 286 plate appearances. However, with 11 homers and 34 RBI, Ozuna is well off the 40/100 pace he set in the previous two seasons. He'll face Rockies lefty
Austin Gomber on Saturday. Ozuna has gone 3-for-7 against Gomber.

Detroit Tigers outfielder
Riley Greene homered and drove in four runs to help the club to an 11-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday. Greene hadn't gone deep since May 30, but he ended a 12-game dry spell with a 426-foot bomb off starter
Nick Martinez in the bottom of the third inning. The 24-year-old also doubled during a 2-for-4 night. He's now batting .279/.334/.498 with 14 HRs, 48 RBI, and 34 runs scored over 287 plate appearances. While Greene is striking out at a lofty 31.4% clip, he's on pace to eclipse the career-high marks in HRs (24) and RBI (74) he established last year. The lefty-swinging Greene is a must-start for fantasy managers against right-handed pitchers. He'll face Reds righty
Brady Singer on Saturday.

New York Yankees outfielder
Aaron Judge crushed his 26th home run of the season in a 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Judge struck out in his first three at-bats against star southpaw
Garrett Crochet, but he got a measure of revenge in the top of the ninth inning. With Boston leading 1-0 and Crochet two outs away from a complete-game shutout, Judge crushed a 443-footer over the Green Monster to tie the game. While Boston won in extra innings, Judge continues to tear it up. Now tied with Seattle Mariners catcher
Cal Raleigh for the league lead in homers, Judge has put together a ridiculous .390/.485/.780 line with an AL-best 60 RBI in 303 trips to the plate. He'll face Red Sox righty
Hunter Dobbins on Saturday. Judge took Dobbins yard in a meeting last weekend.

Atlanta Braves outfielder
Ronald Acuna Jr. went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, and a pair of runs scored in a 12-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday. Notably, Acuna also nabbed his first stolen base of the season in the Atlanta blowout. Acuna hadn't even attempted a steal in 2025 since making his season debut May 23. After taking a year to recover from a torn left ACL, Acuna has been careful on the base paths. He had been a significant source of steals since bursting on the scene in 2018, even amassing an incredible 73 during his most recent full season in 2023. While that part of Acuna's game hasn't been there this season, he's still terrorizing opposing pitchers with a .375/.458/.667 line, six home runs, and 11 RBI in 83 plate appearances. More steal attempts should come as Acuna continues distancing himself from last year's injury.

Boston Red Sox ace
Garrett Crochet put on a clinic in a 2-1 win over the New York Yankees on Friday. Crochet fired 8 1/3 innings of one-run, four-hit ball with seven strikeouts and one walk before exiting a 1-1 game. The 25-year-old left-hander was just two outs away from the first complete game of his career, but Yankees slugger
Aaron Judge dashed his hopes with a solo home run in the top of the ninth. The Red Sox then pulled Crochet, who logged 107 pitches on the night. While Crochet's start didn't end the way he wanted it to, it was another great outing in a season full of standout performances. He now owns a sparkling 2.24 ERA with 117 strikeouts and 28 walks over 96 1/3 frames. Crochet will return to the mound on Wednesday in Seattle.

Colorado Rockies third baseman
Ryan McMahon delivered a stellar showing in the team's 12-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Friday. McMahon went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, and three RBI to continue putting a slow start to his season in the rear-view mirror. The 30-year-old was hitting a dismal .147/.273/.235 at the end of April, but the proverbial light bulb went on at the beginning of May. McMahon is now slashing a respectable .226/.342/.400 with nine homers, 22 RBI, a career-high 14.7% walk rate in 272 plate appearances. With an exit velocity that ranks in the league's 98th percentile and a .354 xwOBA, McMahon looks likely to reach the 20-HR mark for the fifth year in a row.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher
Reese Olson (finger) appears to be cleared and ready to begin a minor league rehab assignment. Olson has been sidelined since the middle of May due to inflammation in his right finger. He's now taking the next step in his recovery process and beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Saturday. The expectation is that Olson is going to need more than one rehab start before rejoining the Tigers rotation. Hopefully, Olson is back in the mix before the end of June. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for more updates on his status.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder
Kyle Schwarber came up with a big hit at the plate during Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. In the second inning, Schwarber took right-hander
Kevin Gausman deep for a three-run home run to give his team a 4-0 lead. He was fairly quiet the rest of the game as he finished 1-for-4 with one homer, three RBI, and a walk in the win. Schwarber has now homered in back-to-back games and is a threat to go deep every time he comes up to the plate. This blasts puts him one behind
Shohei Ohtani for the National League lead in homer

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher
Ranger Suarez was tough to hit during Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This was a truly masterful performance as the Jays' hitters couldn't really make any hard contact. Suarez tossed seven scoreless frames, allowing four hits, one walk, and striking out six batters in the win. Another gem for Suarez who has allowed one earned run or less in four of his last five starts. He's looking like a must-start option for his next start against the Miami Marlins

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher
David Bednar was called upon to hold a one-run lead against the Chicago Cubs on Friday. The right-hander was given the ball in the 10th inning with an automatic runner at second base to begin the inning. That didn't seem to bother Bednar as he tossed a perfect frame to record his 10th save of the season. The right-hander was thrown nine straight scoreless frames, which dates back to late May. It's nice to see Bednar getting back on the right track as he could be a popular name around the trade deadline. For now, he's worth rostering in fantasy formats where saves matter.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher
Paul Skenes was once again sharp on the mound during Friday's start against the Chicago Cubs. Skenes saw his pitch count quickly rise on him, so he didn't have an extremely long out. He tossed five scoreless innings, allowing four hits, while walking two batters and striking out five in the no-decision. Skenes has been unbelievable as he's allowed one earned run or less in each of his last seven starts. He's obviously a must-start in all fantasy formats as he heads into a tough matchup against the Detroit Tigers next week.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder
Ha-Seong Kim (hamstring, shoulder) was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment on Thursday with the Triple-A Durham Bulls due to right-hamstring tightness, according to Bally Sports' Ryan Bass. The Rays expect him to resume his rehab assignment as soon as next week, though. Kim hasn't played yet in 2025 after having offseason surgery on his shoulder, and this hamstring injury will push him back a little bit further from making his debut with Tampa. The 29-year-old has played in 12 games on the farm at Durham, hitting .211/.347/.263 with four RBI, two steals and eight runs scored. Barring another setback, Kim should make his season debut before the All-Star break in mid-July and will be the Rays' starting shortstop. He'll represent a nice source of stolen bases with middling power as middle-infield depth in deep-mixed leagues.
