The 26-year-old Hoeing was making his second big-league start with Trevor Rogers absent. Perhaps he could remain in the rotation for now, but it seems more likely that he'll be swapped out for a fresh arm on Wednesday.

Capra went 5-for-54 before being designated for assignment by the Brewers. The White Sox will give the 28-year-old infielder a look, but fantasy managers should not do the same.

Got to love the Drake. Baldwin singled up the middle to make it 3-0 in the fifth inning. The three knocks ups his average to .360 on the season, and his .573 slugging percentage shows he’s not just dinking and dunking the baseball. Baldwin’s a tough play in fantasy because of Sean Murphy, but the offensive upside is considerable.

Abrams hit his second homer of the series against Atlanta, and this one had an exit velocity of 100.7 mph off David Lee. The 24-year-old also scored on an error from Austin Riley. Abrams is now hitting an outstanding .317/.379/.548 with six homers and nine stolen bases over the first 45 games of 2025.

Smith-Shawver was outstanding Thursday afternoon, as he generated six strikeouts that came from a whopping 17 swings and misses from his 86 pitches. He blanked the Nats for the first five, but an error from Austin Riley allowed a run to score in the sixth. It’s yet another impressive outing for Smith-Shawver in the month of May, and he’s allowed just one earned run in the month over 19 2/3 innings, giving him a 0.47 ERA in that timeframe. He should be in fantasy lineups for a rematch with the Nationals on Wednesday.

Williams gave up just one run in the first four frames, but he struggled in the fifth with three runs coming across in that inning; one of them charged to him after he had left the gam. The 33-year-old hasn’t come close to replicating his success in 2024 and this is the fourth straight start he’s allowed four or more runs. Williams will try and lower his 5.51 ERA in a rematch with Atlanta next week.
