Vidal Brujan went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a walk in the Marlins' 8-0 rout of the Mets.

Fantasy Impact: This performance is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat average season for Brujan, raising his batting average slightly to .264. While he didn't contribute any extra-base hits or RBIs in this game, his ability to get on base and score runs was crucial in the team's offensive explosion. Fantasy managers should note Brujan's consistent contact and on-base skills, highlighted by his low strikeout rate and decent wOBA. However, his limited power and RBI production might cap his upside in standard fantasy formats. Keep an eye on his ability to maintain or improve these metrics for potential utility in deeper leagues or as a streaming option.

Nick Fortes went 3-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in the Marlins' 8-0 rout of the Mets.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a walk and he crossed the plate three times. Despite a challenging season where Fortes has struggled with a mere .159 batting average and a lowly .201 wOBA, this game could be a turning point. His ability to drive in runs and score multiple times in a single game highlights his potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that reward power from the catcher position. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Fortes, as increased confidence and more consistent at-bats could make him a viable streaming option or a bench stash, especially if he builds on this performance.

Jesus Luzardo delivered a masterful performance on Friday, blanking the Mets over six innings in an 8-0 victory for the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed just five hits and zero walks while striking out seven. This outing was a significant turnaround from his rocky start to the season, where he posted a 5.02 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in his first seven starts. Luzardo's ability to command the zone, evidenced by no walks and a strong strikeout count, hints at potential consistency improvements. His season-long metrics like a high K/9 and solid FIP suggest underlying skills that could lead to more outings like this, making him a potential buy-low candidate in fantasy leagues. Keep an eye on his next few starts to see if this performance is a turning point or just a flash in the pan.

Christian Scott endured a rough outing in Friday's 8-0 loss to the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed four earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three over four innings. This performance nudged his ERA up to 4.32 and WHIP to 1.32 for the season, reflecting a challenging start to his year. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.2 K/9, Scott's ability to limit damage has been inconsistent, as evidenced by a BABIP of .340, suggesting some bad luck but also room for improvement. Fantasy managers should be cautious; while his strikeout ability is appealing, his current form makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
