Monday night in MLB showcased standout performances that captivated fantasy baseball enthusiasts. Pete Crow-Armstrong highlighted the night with a reverse "natural" cycle—homer, triple, double, and single—leading his team to a 5-4 win over the Rockies. His season stats now stand at .277/.351/.493, with a remarkable pace of 29 homers and 36 steals. While Crow-Armstrong’s resurgence is notable, he remains universally rostered, so his performance doesn't significantly impact fantasy decisions.

Dustin May delivered an exceptional performance, pitching a complete game shutout against the Padres. He allowed just one hit and one walk, striking out nine batters and needing only 101 pitches. This game marked not only May's first complete game but also his first time finishing eight innings in 71 career games. His ERA now sits at 3.75, with a stellar 2.54 ERA since his rough early starts. May's recent form makes him a must-add in all leagues, as he has shown significant improvement in his strikeout rate.

In a much-needed offensive display, Colt Keith of the Tigers hit three homers against the Astros, boosting his season total to four. His performance showcases potential, though his underlying metrics suggest he still has work to do. While he has shown promise, especially with his eligibility at multiple positions, further consistency is necessary before fantasy managers should consider adding him.

Additional Highlights from Monday's Action:

• Zack Wheeler, Phillies: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 9 K, lowering his ERA to 2.01.
• Walbert Urena, Angels: Emerging as a solid streamer with a 3.29 expected ERA.
• Kodai Senga, Mets: Getting another chance to prove himself after a rough rehab.
• Dylan Crews, Nationals: Hit his fourth homer, showing potential despite a low average.

Monday's action provided plenty of insights for fantasy players, with key performers shaping waiver wire strategies moving forward.
