Warren last pitched in the majors in 2019 before having Tommy John surgery that September. He spent parts of eight seasons in the majors, mostly with the Yankees, and wound up with a fine 3.53 ERA in 21 starts and 302 relief appearances.

The 33-year-old backstop hit the open market after he was released by the White Sox in mid-May. He appeared in four games at the big league level with the pale hose this season, going 2-for-7 (.286) with three RBI and a 1/2 K/BB ratio. He’s nothing more than additional catching depth for the Astros at this stage.

Bellinger opened the scoring in the fourth inning as he ambushed a first-pitch fastball from Slade Cecconi and crushed a 398-foot (101.6 mph EV) two-run shot. He then extended the lead with an RBI single in the seventh inning. He has done as nice job so far in his first season with the Bombers, slashing .257/.331/.456 with nine homers, 35 RBI and five stolen bases (in seven attempts).

Chisholm led off the sixth inning with his second single of the night, swiped second base and took third on a throwing error, but the Yankees were unable to cash him in. He then smacked a two-out RBI single in the seventh that extended the Yankees’ lead to 4-0. It has been a struggle at the dish this season for the dynamic 27-year-old infielder, slashing just .207/.316/.440 with eight homers, 19 RBI and seven stolen bases through his first 136 plate appearances.

The 31-year-old southpaw piled up seven strikeouts on the evening, needing 103 pitches (62 strikes) to navigate his six scoreless frames. The biggest threat against him came in the opening inning as an infield single and a walk put two men on with two outs but Fried rallied to get Carlos Santana to pop out to first base to end the threat. He generated 17 swings and misses on the night — nine of those on his fastball — while posting a CSW of 34 percent. Fried has been absolutely dominant through his first 13 starts for the Yankees, going 8-1 with a 1.78 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and a 77/18 K/BB ratio across 81 innings. He’ll do battle against the Royals in Kansas City his next time out on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old superstar reached on an infield single off of Fried with two outs in the first inning, took second on a pickoff error and swiped third base before being left stranded there. He also singled to lead off the seventh inning but was once again left stranded at third. On the season, Ramírez is slashing a robust .330/.384/.549 to go along with 11 homers, 29 RBI and 17 stolen bases.

The 25-year-old right-hander issued a pair of walks in the ballgame while punching out three. All of the damage that was done against him came on one mighty swing of the bat from Cody Bellinger in the fourth inning. Unfortunately, the Guardians couldn’t provide Cecconi with a single run of support and he wound up taking the loss. He got seven swings and misses on 73 pitches in the ballgame, posting a CSW of 27 percent. Now 1-2, he’ll attempt to improve upon his 4.87 ERA and 1.43 WHIP when he squares off against the Reds on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old budding superstar opened the scoring with a mammoth 412-foot (104.5 mph EV) two-run blast to center off of Jake Irvin, giving the Cubs an early lead that they would never relinquish. The dynamic 23-year-old outfielder went hitless the remainder of the evening, finishing the night 1-for-5. On the season, he’s now slashing .275/.312/.557 with 16 homers, 53 RBI, 49 runs scored and 21 stolen bases in what has been an unbelievable breakout campaign.

Happ smacked an RBI double off of Jake Irvin in the second inning that extended the Cubs’ early lead to 3-0. He then broke the game open with a 405-foot (108.6 mph EV) two-run blast off of Jackson Rutledge in the sixth that made it 5-0. He also had a crucial outfield assist in the third inning, cutting down Robert Hassell III at second base as he tried to stretch a single into a double. He also tacked on an RBI single in the ninth to cap off the Cubs’ scoring. With his three-hit attack, the 30-year-old outfielder is now hitting .259/.348/.373 with four homers, 25 RBI and three stolen bases on the season.

Shaw hustled out an infield single to open the second inning, then raced around to score on Ian Happ’s one-out RBI double. The 23-year-old then poked a single into center off of Zach Brzykcy in the seventh inning and swiped second base before getting stranded there. He also singled and scored in the ninth inning. Shaw has struggled so far in his rookie campaign, slashing .248/.331/.336 with just one homer, seven RBI, six stolen bases and a 27/14 K/BB ratio over his first 127 plate appearances.

Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Rea didn’t record a single strikeout in the otherwise terrific outing. The biggest threat against him came as the Nationals put runners on the corners with two outs in the third inning, but he got James Wood to fly out to left field to end the threat. Rea got just six whiffs on 80 pitches on the night, posting an underwhelming CSW of 21 percent. Now 4-2 on the season, he’ll carry a respectable 3.59 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 43/17 K/BB ratio (57 2/3 innings) into a tough matchup against the Phillies in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
