Athletics outfielder Henry Bolte has been terrific ever since being promoted to the majors for his MLB debut. Across nine big-league games, he's slashing .310/.382/.345 with an 11.8% walk rate, a 20.6% strikeout rate, and 108 wRC+. He hasn't launched a home run in the majors yet, but we knew that he didn't have a ton of power even before he was called up. He's made up for it by stealing three bases, as he continues to show off his game-changing speed. Bolte's base-stealing upside gives him a clear path to plenty of production in fantasy baseball. He's still available in 89% of fantasy baseball leagues, and he ranks as the #62 outfielder in RotoBaller's latest rankings for the 2026 season. Bolte represents a speed-centric waiver wire target as we approach the end of May.

Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout on Saturday. He has appeared in just five big-league games so far, going 4-for-20 with one walk, four strikeouts, and a steal. Previously, he had slashed .258/.345/.432 with five homers and seven steals across 41 Triple-A games. The results at the plate haven't been great since his promotion to the majors (or in years past), but Saturday's homer could be a sign that he's tapping into some more power going forward. We know that he has above-average power upside, as he launched 10 homers across 85 games last year. Hitting homers at a similar rate in 2026 could be enough to keep him on the fantasy radar consistently. As it stands, he's rostered in approximately 21% of fantasy baseball leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Jeff Hoffman handled a save situation for the second consecutive game on Saturday. He struck out all three batters he faced, requiring just 13 pitches (nine strikes). Hoffman had a shaky start to the season, but he has bounced back with 3.2 scoreless innings across his last four contests. During that span, he has allowed one hit, zero walks, and six strikeouts. Although Hoffman has a 5.32 ERA so far, his 2.18 xFIP suggests that he has been incredibly unlucky, and better results should await him in the near future. He's been hit hard for 1.23 HR/9, but he has flashed elite control with 15.14 K/9 and 3.27 BB/9. Now that he has saves in back-to-back appearances, bringing his season total to four, Hoffman has returned to the fantasy radar as a high-strikeout reliever with consistent save upside. There's plenty of waiver wire appeal here, as the veteran reliever is available in 48% of leagues at this point.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Zebby Matthews has been highly effective in two starts since being recalled from Triple-A. Through two games (13.0 innings) in the majors this year, Matthews has a 1.38 ERA with one walk and 11 strikeouts. The 26-year-old profiles as a starter who is highly dependent on their breaking ball, and while Matthews' curveball and slider metrics are terrific, we're also impressed that he has kept his fastball velocity around 96 mph. Although Matthews isn't the flashiest name, his modest strikeout total, low walk total, and ability to pitch deep into games should generate some fantasy appeal, especially as managers look to upgrade and perfect their rosters here in late May. He's a waiver wire option for the vast majority of fantasy managers, as he's currently rostered in less than 20% of fantasy baseball leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (back) is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Mitchell made an early exit from Wednesday's game due to back tightness. He hasn't been back in the lineup since then, so fantasy managers might start getting anxious. He's still considered day-to-day, so fantasy managers should check back for another update on Sunday. Jake Bauers will cover left field and bat sixth versus right-hander Roki Sasaki on Saturday. Mitchell remains strictly a deep league option at the moment.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jake Irvin (undisclosed) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's start against the Atlanta Braves. This is a shame because Irvin was dealing before making his exit from the contest. He took the mound to warm up for the sixth inning, but didn't look right and eventually exited with the trainer. Before that, Irvin tossed five hitless innings, allowing one walk while striking out seven batters. The Nationals should give an update on his status following Saturday's contest. This was Irvin's second straight strong outing, so hopefully he won't be forced to miss time from this injury.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Tommy Troy is receiving the call to the big leagues. The 24-year-old has reportedly been called up after a strong showing in the minor leagues. Through 44 games, Troy was slashing .307/.397/.449 with three home runs and 28 RBI with Triple-A Reno this season. This is a well-deserved call-up after Troy put together strong numbers at Double-A and Triple-A last season as well. Troy is a player who can do a little bit of everything at the plate. He has 15-homer power with enough speed to steal around 20 bases and isn't afraid to draw a walk as well. He's certainly worth a look in deep leagues, assuming he's going to get regular playing time in Arizona.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day Injured List on Saturday. He was removed from Friday's game due to hamstring tightness and now heads to the shelf with a left hamstring strain. The exact timetable for his return is unknown, but hamstring issues do have a tendency to linger. Jorge Barrosa and Tim Tawa are the favorites to see increased playing time while Gurriel is sidelined. In a corresponding move, infielder Tommy Troy has been called up from Triple-A Reno. Troy could be someone worth keeping an eye on in deep leagues.

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (back) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Alvarez showed discomfort when swinging the bat in the on-deck circle during the sixth inning. He was ultimately pulled from the contest due to back spasms. He finished Saturday's game going 0-for-2 at the plate with a run scored and a walk. The Astros have already said that Alvarez won't play on Sunday, that it was his scheduled rest day anyway. This appears to be a day-to-day type of issue, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too alarmed. Fantasy managers will need to check back for an update on his status ahead of Monday's series opener against the Texas Rangers.

New York Mets pitcher Jonah Tong pitched well during his season debut against the Miami Marlins on Friday. Tong tossed three scoreless innings with two strikeouts in what ended up being a loss for the Mets. The team hasn't officially announced its rotation past this weekend, but Tong has earned a longer look at the big league level. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza recently mentioned in a presser that the organization expects a lot from Tong. The 22-year-old is currently working in a bulk-type role right now, but figures to move into the starting rotation at some point. It's clear that Tong isn't going away anytime soon, and his value should be on the rise after a solid debut on Friday.
