Fantasy Impact: His impressive performance further solidifies his role as a top-tier reliever, maintaining a 1.80 ERA and 0.80 WHIP for the season. With a strikeout rate of 10.8 K/9 and no earned runs allowed, Hader remains a reliable option for fantasy managers.

Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-4 in win over the Twins with a home run and three RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance marks a significant boost for Alvarez, who has struggled early in the season with a .182 batting average. While he has shown flashes of power, his overall numbers indicate a need for improvement in consistency. Fantasy managers will hope this game serves as a turning point for Alvarez, as he possesses the talent to elevate his production moving forward.

Jake Meyers went 1-for-2 in win over the Twins with a double, two runs scored, and two stolen bases, while also drawing three walks and striking out once.

Fantasy Impact: This performance highlights Meyers's potential as a valuable contributor in runs and steals, especially given his ability to get on base. However, with a batting average of .250 and a high strikeout rate, consistency remains a concern for fantasy managers.

Isaac Paredes went 4-for-6 in win over the Twins with two RBI and one run scored.

Fantasy Impact: This performance marks a significant improvement for Paredes, who has struggled to find consistency early in the season with a .242 batting average. While his overall numbers still leave much to be desired, this game could serve as a turning point, potentially boosting his confidence and fantasy value moving forward. However, his lack of power and low walk rate remain concerning, so managers should monitor his performance closely before making any roster decisions.
