The San Francisco Giants have made a significant move by acquiring Boston Red Sox star Rafael Devers right before their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. In exchange, the Giants are sending pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison, among others, to Boston. Harrison was originally slated to start the game, but reports indicate Sean Hjelle was warming up in the bullpen, suggesting quick adjustments following the trade.

The San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants face off today, June 4, at Oracle Park, with the Padres looking to extend their winning streak to three games. Nick Pivetta takes the mound for the Padres, boasting a solid 6-2 record and a 2.74 ERA, while the Giants counter with Kyle Harrison, who has a respectable 2.51 ERA. In yesterday's game, a crucial tenth-inning RBI from Jake Cronenworth, combined with a perfect 4-4 performance from Manny Machado, propelled the Padres to a 5-3 victory.

As the series continues, the Padres hold momentum with their recent strong performances. The Giants, however, have claimed 12 of their last 20 home games, making this matchup crucial for both teams. Betting lines show the Padres slightly favored, but with the Giants' home advantage, the odds remain tight.

As the 2025 fantasy baseball season progresses, several injured players present excellent stashing opportunities for savvy managers. Luis Gil of the New York Yankees, currently rostered in 28% of Yahoo leagues, is anticipated to return by early June 2024 after dealing with an injury. His previous season displayed impressive numbers, including a solid ERA and strikeouts, making him a valuable addition to any fantasy squad.

Shane Bieber, the ace for the Cleveland Guardians, is another name to consider. Although he is expected back by early July following Tommy John surgery, his history as a Cy Young winner and a strong start pre-injury makes him a high-reward stash. The Tampa Bay Rays' Josh Lowe and the San Francisco Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald are also set to rejoin their respective lineups soon, providing both power and speed options. Lastly, Jake Cronenworth's imminent return to the San Diego Padres lineup offers more versatility for fantasy rosters. Targeting these players can pay dividends as the season heads into its crucial phases.

The El Paso Chihuahuas secured a thrilling 9-7 victory against the Round Rock Express, marking their third consecutive win. Shortstop Eguy Rosario kicked off the scoring with a homer in the second inning, setting a new franchise record with his 49th career home run. Jake Cronenworth, in his first MLB Injury Rehab game, contributed significantly with a two-run homer and three walks. Designated hitter Yonathan Perlaza shone with a league-leading 17th double, while Reiss Knehr notched his seventh save of the season. The Chihuahuas will aim to continue their winning streak in the next game against Round Rock.

Week 6 of fantasy baseball sees several intriguing infield waiver wire pickups to consider. Jonathan Aranda, eligible at both first and second base for the Tampa Bay Rays, is currently rostered in 46% of leagues and while his batting average of .298 is impressive, his limited playing time against left-handers could hinder immediate impact. On the other hand, Detroit Tigers' Javier Baez, now also playing center field, has surged with a .353 batting average over the last two weeks, boasting three home runs and 10 RBIs, making him a hot add for those looking for offensive production.

For deeper league options, Jake Cronenworth of the San Diego Padres (23% rostered) is recovering from injury and has a strong track record at Coors Field, while Hyeseong Kim from the Los Angeles Dodgers (15% rostered) is finally getting the call up after a stellar stint in the minors. Nolan Schanuel of the Angels (8% rostered) and Jeff McNeil of the Mets (6% rostered) are also worth considering, especially for filling gaps due to injuries or underperformance. This week is an excellent opportunity to bolster your infield with these strategic adds.
