Ernesto Frieri - R - Angels

Ernesto Frieri earned his second save of the season in Saturday's victory over the Mariners.

Frieri entered in the eighth inning and struck out three of the five batters he faced before slapping hands with his teammates after a pretty smooth ninth. He now boasts a 22/7 K/BB ratio in 10 innings since joining the Angels and has a real opportunity to run away with Anaheim's ninth-inning role. The Halos are suddenly in second place in the American League West standings.

Chris Heisey - OF - Reds

Chris Heisey finished 2-for-3 with three RBI in the Reds' 10-3 victory over the Rockies on Saturday night.

Heisey hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the first inning and a single in the third as the Cincinnati lineup pounced on Rockies starter Jeremy Guthrie and, later, the Colorado bullpen. The home run was Heisey's first. It's been an underwhelming start to the 2012 campaign.
May 26 - 10:45 PM
Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases Saturday in the Pirates' 3-2 win over the Cubs.

McCutchen is now hitting .338/.399/.535 with seven home runs, 24 RBI, 10 steals and 26 runs scored. The 25-year-old center fielder is obviously an elite fantasy option.
May 26 - 10:40 PM
Rafael Dolis - R - Cubs

Rafael Dolis hit Matt Hague with the bases loaded to end Saturday night's loss to the Pirates.

That's Cubs baseball for you. Dolis has collected four saves since May 4 and remains relevant in most fantasy leagues, but he's not a dominant reliever quite yet.
May 26 - 10:36 PM
Albert Pujols - 1B - Angels

Albert Pujols hit his seventh home run of the season in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Mariners.

It's his fourth dinger in the last five games and propelled his RBI total up to 26. Pujols had a miserable April but seems to be coming alive here in late May. He is capable of raking at a top-tier rate for the rest of this summer.
May 26 - 10:34 PM
Jarrod Saltalamacchia - C - Red Sox

Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a walkoff home run to lead the Red Sox past the Rays 3-2 on Saturday night.

Rays closer Fernando Rodney had been a perfect 15-for-15 in save opportunities entering the night, but he walked Daniel Nava and then allowed a two-run blast to Salty. The Red Sox are back to .500, trailing the Orioles by 5 1/2 games in the AL East.
May 26 - 10:28 PM
Fernando Rodney - R - Rays

Fernando Rodney blew his first save of the season in Saturday night's loss to the Red Sox.

Rodney promptly walked Daniel Nava after entering a 2-1 game, then surrendered a walkoff two-run blast to Jarrod Saltalamacchia. The 35-year-old right-hander has been fantastic this season, so much so that a bit of regression had to be expected. He remains a top tier fantasy option at closer.
May 26 - 10:24 PM
David Price - S - Rays

David Price allowed just one run over seven innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Red Sox.

Price did his part, fanning five and containing a dangerous Red Sox lineup. But Fernando Rodney allowed a walkoff home run to Jarrod Saltalamacchia with Tampa Bay clinging to a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the ninth. Price will carry a cool 2.71 ERA into his next scheduled outing against the Orioles.
