Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jose Quintana fired six shutout innings in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Minnesota Twins. The Colombian native allowed three hits and struck out one while issuing four free passes to improve to 5-2 through ten starts. Quintana landed just 52 of 90 pitches for strikes, but was the beneficiary of plenty of soft contact in his longest start since Apr. 22. It was his first win in nearly two months. The veteran sports a strong 2.98 ERA over his first 54 1/3 innings. However, his 1.40 WHIP is more indicative of his performance and underlying metrics (4.63 xFIP). He'll get a favorable matchup in the visiting Colorado Rockies his next time out.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 11-4 road win against the Philadelphia Phillies. He also doubled to break a 0-for-16 slump at the dish. The fantasy stalwart mashed homer No. 15 off Phillies' starter Mick Abel to lead off the third inning in the first of back-to-back-to-back jacks with Brandon Nimmo and Juan Soto following suit. It's worth noting that all three at-bats were six pitches or more. The long ball was Lindor's first in 16 games. He isn't sporting the same expected statistics he did a season ago, but fantasy managers likely won't quibble with his production thus far. The former first-round pick is slashing .267/.340/.463 with 14 doubles, 13 steals, 48 runs scored, and 41 RBI from atop the Mets' lineup.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease tossed 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball in his team's 5-1 win against the visiting Kansas City Royals. The veteran yielded three hits, three walks, hit a batter, and struck out four. Cease notched his fourth start this season with one earned run or fewer, and collected his third win and sixth quality start. It was a nice rebound for him after allowing six runs to the Dodgers his last time out. The 29-year-old has pitched to an inflated 4.43 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 87 1/3 innings (16 starts), but his xERA stands at a far more appealing 3.47. He'll square off against the Cincinnati Reds on the road the next time he toes the slab.

New York Yankees designated hitter/first baseman Ben Rice collected a pair of extra-base hits during a 9-0 drubbing of the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday. Rice smacked a solo home run off Orioles right-hander Zach Eflin in the second inning and drove in his second run of the day on a fifth-inning triple. The 26-year-old finished the game 2-for-5 and is now batting .232/.315/.477 with 13 homers, 28 RBI, and 34 runs in 249 plate appearances. While those are solid numbers, Rice may have more in the tank - he ranks near the top of the league in hard-hit percentage, average exit velocity, xwOBA, xBA, and xSLG, among other categories. Rice is a strong candidate for positive regression if he receives regular playing time, which has been harder to come by since DH Giancarlo Stanton made his season debut this past Monday.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto turned in his best performance of the season in an 11-4 defeat of the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Soto set season-high marks with four hits and four RBI and walloped two home runs in a 4-for-5 night. The four-time All-Star got off to a slow start in 2025 (by his lofty standards), but he has emphatically turned it around in June with a .338 average (22-for-65), seven homers, 14 RBI, 18 runs, and 20:11 BB:K in 19 games. Thanks largely to his outburst this month, Soto is on track for another huge offensive campaign. He's now hitting .256/.393/.484 with 16 HRs, 41 RBI, 54 runs, and eight steals in 341 plate appearances.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz belted his 17th home run of the season in a 6-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. De La Cruz hit a two-run, 435-foot blast off left-hander Steven Matz and added a single in a 2-for-5 day. This has been a month to remember for De La Cruz, who has hit .313 (20-for-64) with six homers, 12 RBI, 16 runs, four steals, and 13:11 K:BB in 18 games. Overall, the 23-year-old star has slashed .265/.344/.493 with 52 RBI, 59 runs, and 21 steals in 331 trips to the plate. De La Cruz may be in for another productive game Sunday versus Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas. He's 5-for-13 with a double, a triple, and three RBI against the right-hander.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder/first baseman Alec Burleson was a key contributor in the team's 6-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. Burleson cracked a two-run homer in the first inning and later chipped in an RBI single in the fifth. He finished the day 2-for-5, extending his hitting streak to nine games. So far in June, Burleson has batted a sizzling .391 (27-for-69) with four homers, 14 RBI, 10 runs, and 7:4 K:BB while taking on an everyday role in the Cardinals' lineup. The club has even been starting the lefty-swinging Burleson against southpaws in recent games. He'll have a tough matchup Sunday with Reds lefty Andrew Abbott scheduled to toe the rubber. Burleson has gone 0-for-6 against Abbott.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong continued his breakout 2025 with a stellar showing against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. Crow-Armstrong helped the Cubs to a 10-7 win with a 2-for-4 performance that included a solo home run and a double. The first 20/20 player in the majors this season, the 23-year-old is hitting .270/.308/.563 with 21 HRs, 61 RBI, 23 steals, and 56 runs scored in 315 plate appearances. Crow-Armstrong has been a fantasy goldmine, but he'll face a difficult test Sunday with Mariners ace right-hander Logan Gilbert scheduled to get the ball at Wrigley Field.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. smashed a three-run home run in a 5-1 win over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. With the Padres leading 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Tatis stepped up with two men on and belted a 380-footer off right-hander Taylor Clarke. Tatis also walked during a 1-for-3 night. The homer broke a career-worst drought for Tatis, who hadn't gone deep in 21 games dating to May 27. It was also his first hit since Monday. He entered the game mired in an 0-for-13 skid over his previous four contests. Despite his recent struggles, the two-time All-Star is still having a strong season. Tatis is slashing .268/.357/.461 with 14 HRs, 34 RBI, 56 runs scored, and 15 steals in 325 plate appearances. He'll take on Royals righty Seth Lugo on Sunday.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos hit a solo home run to help the club to a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Ramos' first-inning blast off right-hander Brayan Bello was his only hit in a 1-for-4 afternoon. After earning an All-Star nod in 2024, Ramos is quietly putting together a terrific follow-up campaign. The 25-year-old is slashing .282/.360/.470 with 13 homers, 39 RBI, 48 runs, and five stolen bases over 328 plate appearances. Ramos looks like a shoo-in for a second straight season of 20-plus HRs and 70-plus RBI. He also has a strong chance to reach double-digit steals for the first time.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios looked sharp on the mound during Saturday's outing against the Chicago White Sox. Berrios gave up two hits early, but retired the next 14-of-15 batters he faced. The White Sox weren't able to do much against him as he scored one unearned run in the sixth inning. Berrios tossed 7.2 innings, allowing one unearned run on two hits, while walking three batters and striking out five in the win. A nice bounce back outing for Berrios who allowed six runs to the Philadelphia Phillies in his last start. Now, he'll get a tough challenge against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park in this next outing.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ remained hot at the plate during Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He got the fun started off early with a home run off right-hander Emerson Hancock in the first inning. He wasn't done there as he blasted a three-run shot off Hancock in the second inning. He'd finish his day 2-for-4 with two homers, four RBI, and one walk in the win. Happ has now homered in three straight games as pitchers can't seem to keep him in the ballpark. He's slashing .250/.343/.423 with 11 homers, 38 RBI, and four steals this season. Happ needs to be rostered and started in most fantasy formats right now.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh continued his power hitting ways during Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Surprisingly, Raleigh was held in check until he blasted a solo home run off right-hander Daniel Palencia in the ninth inning. He would finish this game 1-for-5 with a solo homer and one RBI in the loss. Raleigh has now homered three times over his last four games. He is the first player to reach 30 home runs this season, and we aren't even to the All-Star break yet. Raleigh is on pace to put up record setting numbers and we're just along for the ride.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Camilo Doval was handed the ball with a three-run lead versus the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Doval struggled early as he allowed three straight hits and two runs. He was able to settle down and retire the next three batters to earn his 12th save of the season. Doval has been lights out over the last few months, so fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed by this outing. He has pitched in three of the last four games, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he is unavailable on Sunday. Doval holds a 2.06 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 33/15 K/BB ratio across 35 innings this season. He should be rostered in most fantasy formats where saves matter.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (foot) was able to play catch ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The plan is for McCullers to throw again on Sunday. If everything goes well, McCullers could throw off the mound on Monday. It sounds like McCullers is trending in the right direction and could only miss the minimal amount of time on the injured list. The Astros should have a better idea of McCullers timetable after this weekend. Fantasy managers should wait patiently as McCullers could be back on the mound soon.

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Chris Martin was asked to close out the game in the ninth inning during Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lately, Robert Garcia has been the closer in Texas, but it doesn't look like he was available for this game. Instead, Martin was called upon to hold a one-run lead in the final frame. The veteran right-hander tossed a scoreless inning while striking out two batters to earn his second save of the season. Martin now holds a 1.48 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and a 28/3 K/BB ratio across 24.1 innings this season. Martin isn't someone that must be rostered right now, but it looks like he's definitely a trusted option in the ninth inning.

San Francisco Giants corner infielder Rafael Devers came up with a clutch hit during Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Devers went 0-for-5 during his first matchup against his former team on Friday. However, Devers was able to do some damage with the bat on Saturday. The left-handed slugger blasted a two-run home run off right-hander Brayan Bello in the third inning. It was his first homer with his new team and a big hit that would help his team get the win. He finished the game 1-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in the 3-2 victory.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp looked strong on the mound during Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. It's nice to see Roupp rebounding after giving up six earned runs during his last outing. On Saturday, Roupp tossed six shutout innings, allowing three hits, three walks, and struck out seven batters in the win. Roupp has shown flashes of being solid, but still remains an inconsistent option. He could be worth looking at as a streaming option in a favorable outing against the Chicago White Sox next week. However, Roupp isn't someone that needs to be rostered in most fantasy formats right now.

San Diego Padres outfielder Jason Heyward (oblique) has been designated for assignment by the organization on Saturday. Heyward is currently on the injured list, but the team has decided to remove him from the roster rather than activate him. In a corresponding move, left-hander Bryan Hoeing (shoulder) has been activated off the injured list. Heyward is unlikely to have a ton of interest on the open market given he's slashing .176/.223/.271 this season. The veteran outfielder could be a possible veteran presence for a young contending team, but probably won't have too many bidders. Heyward doesn't need to be rostered in any fantasy formats right now.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (hand) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Carroll is now set to miss his third game in a row after getting hit in the hand on Wednesday. Luckily, D-Backs manager Torey Lovullo said Carroll is close to getting back on the field. That being said, fantasy managers should expect Carroll back in the mix within the next few days. In the meantime, Randal Grichuk will cover right field and bat fifth versus left-hander Carson Palmquist on Saturday. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday to see if Carroll is ready to return.
