Logan O'Hoppe C | LAA
Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Pops eighth homer
O'Hoppe went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.
The slugging backstop got the Halos on the board when he took Carlos Vargas deep in the seventh inning. O'Hoppe is up to eight homers on the season, including three in the last five games, but those are his only hits over that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .259/.292/.553 with 11 runs and 13 RBI in 24 contests.

Bo Naylor C | CLE
Guardians' Bo Naylor: Homers in win
Naylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Minnesota.
Several innings before Kyle Manzardo's homer walked off the Twins, Naylor gave the Guardians an early 1-0 lead in the third inning. It was the third home run in 20 games for the catcher, who's batting .185 with a .634 OPS. Taking over as the primary catcher in 2024, Naylor's offense took a hit and that has continued into the first part of 2025.

Yainer Diaz C | HOU
Astros' Yainer Diaz: Tallies three RBI in win
Diaz went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Tuesday's win over Detroit.
Despite not recording an extra-base hit, Diaz tallied three RBI on Tuesday. The 26-year-old backstop has endured a sluggish start to the campaign overall, but he's fared better at the plate of late. Diaz is batting .270 (10-for-37) with one home run, one double, six RBI and five runs scored over his last 10 games, and he has at least one knock in six of his last seven outings.

Shea Langeliers C | ATH
Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Sixth homer in defeat
Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to Texas.
Langeliers snapped a seven-game homer dry spell Tuesday, taking Rangers right-hander Dane Dunning deep in the seventh inning. The hard-hitting backstop may not be helping fantasy managers in category-based leagues with his .232 batting average through 26 outings, but he's now up to six long balls, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and one stolen base over 99 at-bats this season as a solid source of power at the catcher position.

Carson Kelly C | CHC
Cubs' Carson Kelly: Homers, drives in three
Kelly went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's victory against the Pirates.
Kelly's bat has been hot this season, and he was rewarded with his first start in the cleanup spot Tuesday. He didn't waste much time making an impact, belting a two-run shot to open the game's scoring in the fourth inning. Kelly later added an RBI single in the ninth. He's started 15 games this season and has delivered multiple hits in five of those, resulting in a .370/.524/.891 slash line.

Austin Wells C | NYY
Yankees' Austin Wells: Participates in home run onslaught
Wells went 1-for-6 with a solo homer in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Orioles.
In case a 12-run lead wasn't enough, Wells gave the Yankees a 13-run cushion in the ninth inning when he took Bryan Baker deep to left-center field for a solo homer. It was Wells' fifth home run of the season, and the 25-year-old backstop has logged at least one RBI in five straight games, going 7-for-23 (.304) over that span.

Gustavo Campero RF | LAA
Angels' Gustavo Campero: Recalled from Triple-A
The Angels recalled Campero from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Campero got his first taste of MLB action at the end of last season, going 11-for-46 with six RBI over 13 games. He's gotten off to a better start in the minors this year with a .333/.397/.472 slash line alongside 15 RBI, 16 runs scored and seven steals. The 27-year-old will now come up to give the Angels some additional outfield depth, replacing J.D. Davis on the active roster.

Carson Kelly C | CHC
Cubs' Carson Kelly: Slides up to cleanup spot
Kelly is starting at catcher and batting fourth in Tuesday's game against the Pirates.
The Cubs are shaking things up a bit, with the slumping Dansby Swanson dropping down to eighth in the order and Kelly moving up to the cleanup spot. The veteran catcher certainly deserves it, as he's sporting a spectacular 1.371 OPS through 15 appearances. Kelly has a career .699 OPS, so some regression is likely coming soon, but fantasy managers should enjoy the hot streak while it lasts.
