Logan O'Hoppe

LAA Catcher #14

Logan O’Hoppe hit a two-run homer in an extra-inning loss to the Rockies on Thursday.

O’Hoppe blistered a two-run homer off Ryan Feltner to even the game at 2-2 in the fourth inning. The 24-year-old has gone deep in back-to-back games, and he’s up to 16 homers in his second full year of action. O’Hoppe has also posted an OPS of .801 in what can be described as one of the few bright spots for the Angels in 2024.
Jake Cave

COL Center Fielder #11

Jake Cave hit a game-tying two-run homer in the ninth to help the Rockies to a 5-4 win in extra innings against the Angels on Thursday

With the Rockies trailing 4-2, Cave swatted a two-run blast off Hunter Strickland to tie the game at 4-4, and the Rockies would score another in the 10th to pick up the win. Cave has gone deep four times with 24 RBI to accompany a .251/.297/.372 slash.
Carson Fulmer

LAA Starting Pitcher #41

Carson Fulmer struck out eight over six innings of two-run baseball, but he didn’t factor into the decision against the Rockies on Thursday.

Outside of a two-run homer given up to Michael Toglia in the second inning, this was a very strong start for Fulmer, and even with that roundtripper it deserves its due. The right-hander allowed only three hits and one walk while lowering his ERA to a useable 3.69 for the 2024 campaign. Fulmer has been a significant bust since being a first-round pick nine years ago, but 2024 has represented the best year of his career by a significant margin.
Ryan Feltner

COL Starting Pitcher #18

Ryan Feltner held the Angels to three runs over six innings in a no-decision Thursday.

All three runs were allowed on homers, as the right-hander gave up a two-run homer to Logan O’Hoppe and a solo blast to Mickey Moniak. Feltner allowed seven hits in total in the contest with one walk and three strikes. It counts as a quality start for fantasy purposes. It may not earn that descriptor if that stat didn’t exist. Feltner is now the owner of a 4.97 ERA for the 2024 campaign.
Coby Mayo

BAL Third Baseman #86

MASN Sports’ Roch Kubatko reports the Orioles are calling up top prospect Coby Mayo.

Well, that didn’t take long. Mayo will get the call to the majors for Friday’s showdown against the Guardians following a four-hit performance on Thursday night for Triple-A Norfolk. The 22-year-old top prospect projects as an immediate four-category fantasy contributor after posting an astronomical .961 OPS with 20 homers this season at the Triple-A level. He’ll presumably get plenty of runway at third base for Baltimore with both Jorge Mateo (elbow) and Jordan Westburg (hand) sidelined until at least late September. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats until further notice.
Valente Bellozo

MIA Starting Pitcher #83

Valente Bellozo will start on Friday against the Braves.

Marlins manager Skip Schumaker made it official following Thursday’s contest. The 24-year-old righty gave up five runs over 10 innings in a pair of starts earlier this summer. He’s not a recommended fantasy option moving forward.
Cody Bellinger

CHC Center Fielder #24

Cody Bellinger homered in a win over the Cardinals on Thursday.

Bellinger homered off Ryan Helsley in the bottom of the ninth inning to get the Cubs to within a run at 4-3. Chicago scored two more times off the normally effective closer to get the win. Bellinger has now gone deep 11 times and is hitting a respectable .280/.339/437 in his 82 games thus far in 2024.
Paul Goldschmidt

STL First Baseman #46

Paul Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a homer and a double in a loss Thursday to the Cubs

Goldschmidt gave the Cardinals a 1-0 lead in the first with a blast off Shota Imanaga. That’s the 17th homer of the season for the 36-year-old, and six of those have come in the month of July. This is also the fourth time in five games that Goldschmidt has picked up multiple hits, and he appears to be getting hot at the right time. Fantasy managers probably would have preferred it a while ago, but better late than never.
Mike Tauchman

CHC Left Fielder #40

Mike Tauchman doubled in the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth to give the Cubs a 5-4 win over the Cardinals on Thursday.

With the score tied at 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth, Tauchman came up huge with a double off the bench to score Dansby Swanson and give the Cubs the come-from-behind win. That’s the 11th double of the season for Tauchman and the 20th RBI. While his ability to get on via walk is admirable, the rest of his skill set — and playing time — doesn’t really add to a fantasy recommendation.
Ryan Helsley

STL Relief Pitcher #56

Ryan Helsley allowed three runs over 2/3 of an inning while blowing a save and taking a loss to the Cubs on Thursday.

It’s the third blown save of the year for Helsley and the fourth loss of the season for the 30-year-old. He was handed a 4-2 lead going into the ninth, but the normally reliable stopper gave up a solo homer to Cody Bellinger, an RBI double to Dansby Swanson, and the game-winner on a double by Mike Tauchman. A disappointing effort, but fantasy managers shouldn’t expect this to change much both in terms of Helsley’s closing status nor their trust in him.
