Ryan Helsley Perfect En Route To Earning Fifth Save
Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Ryan Helsley secured his team's dramatic comeback win over the Diamondbacks on Monday night by pitching a drama-free ninth inning. He retired the D-Backs in order, including a pair of strikeouts, to earn his fifth save in five save opportunities. He has pitched in seven games for Baltimore, allowing only two runs in 6 1/3 innings with nine strikeouts. He remains locked in as one of the best closing options in the league, and the 31-year-old righty reached a max of 101.2 mph on his 12 pitches on Monday. Fantasy managers can continue to use Helsley with confidence at the back end of Baltimore's bullpen.

Jordan Romano Blows First Save on Monday, Allows Three Runs
Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Jordan Romano locked up his first four saves of the season, but he stumbled on Monday night in New York. He came in with a 10-8 lead and failed to record a single out before giving up three runs on three hits, including a Trent Grisham home run that tied the game. After Grisham's dinger, Jose Caballero doubled, stole third, and scored on a wild pitch to get the Yankees a walk-off win and hand Romano his first loss of the year. In his previous six games, Romano had not allowed a hit over five innings with seven strikeouts and two walks. He hadn't pitched in a week coming into this appearance and was due for a little regression. He will likely remain the team's primary closer for now, but he'll need to get back on track the next time he's called on for relief.

Is Justin Wrobleski Worth a Waiver Wire Look After a Gem Against the Mets?
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Justin Wrobleski held the Mets to just two hits in eight shutout innings on Monday night to earn his second win of the season. Wrobleski only had two strikeouts but was very efficient, needing just 90 pitches to get 24 outs. The 25-year-old lefty has a 2.12 ERA and 3.37 FIP through his first three games this season, and he has held opponents to a 32.7% hard-hit rate with just a single barrel. While he only has a 9.5% K%, he has been very effective at limiting hard contact and contributing solid, efficient innings. He can be a nice pickup off the waiver wire for wins and quality innings, despite his limited strikeout upside. Wrobleski's next outing is scheduled for on the road at Coors Field next Monday, which will be a test given his contact-heavy approach.

Nolan Arenado Hits Two Homers, Drives in Five on Monday
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Nolan Arenado turned back the clock on Monday night in the team's 9-7 loss to the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Arenado went 2-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI, and a strikeout. The home runs were his first of the year in Arizona, which was nice to see after he entered Monday's action slashing .180/.192/.200 with no homers, three RBI, four runs scored, one walk, and 13 strikeouts in 14 games played. Before this contest, Arenado had just one extra-base hit. It was Arenado's 25th career two-home run game, and his first since the 2022 season. It was also the 11th time in Arenado's career in which he's had five RBI. Despite the strong game, the 34-year-old eight-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger winner has been in offensive decline the last several seasons, and he'll need to do more of this going forward to pique the interest of fantasy managers in mixed leagues that need corner-infield help.
