Laces RBI tripleRosario went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Braves.

ImpactRosario's fifth-inning triple scored Michael Conforto. The shortstop Rosario then came home himself on a Jeff McNeil sacrifice fly. Through two games, Rosario is 3-for-7 -- it's early in 2020, but the 24-year-old appears set to prove last season's .287 batting average wasn't a fluke.

Strong effort at plateConforto went 3-for-3 with a double, a run scored and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Braves.

ImpactConforto's double came in the second inning, and he got the Mets on the board by scoring on an Amed Rosario triple. The 27-year-old Conforto batted seventh versus Braves southpaw Max Fried on Saturday, but expect the right fielder to be higher in the order against right-handed pitchers.

Comes up clutch SaturdayOzuna went 1-for-4 with a game-tying solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Mets.

ImpactMets closer Edwin Diaz was within one out of protecting a 2-1 lead when Ozuna knocked the game-tying homer into the right-field seats. The 29-year-old Ozuna will likely be a fixture in the heart of the Braves' order due to his powerful bat, but it remains to be seen if he'll serve more as a left fielder or a designated hitter in 2020.

Opens scoring with homerDuvall went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Mets.

ImpactDuvall knocked his first homer of 2020 against Mets starter Steven Matz in the second inning. Duvall's other run in the game came as he was the initial runner in the 10th inning and he scored on a Dansby Swanson single to put the Braves ahead 3-2. The 31-year-old Duvall figures to serve in a platoon with Marcell Ozuna in left field, but he's also capable of playing right field and should see near-everyday playing time.

Picks up relief winJackson (1-0) pitched two innings, allowing an unearned run on four hits to earn the win in Saturday's extra-inning contest versus the Mets.

ImpactJackson entered a tied game in the ninth inning, and managed to keep it that way. He then loaded the bases with a pair of singles and the initial runner to start the 10th inning, but only one Jeff McNeil scored on a Dominic Smith sacrifice fly. Jackson had 18 saves and nine holds with a 3.84 ERA and 106 strikeouts across 72.2 innings last year, but he's a set-up man at best in 2020.

Effective in first startYarbrough took a no-decision in Saturday's contest over the Blue Jays in spite of pitching 5.1 scoreless innings. He yielded four hits and one walk while striking out one.

ImpactYarbrough looked much like the effective pitcher he was from May to August of 2019, limiting Toronto to four harmless singles and issuing only one free pass. He registered just one strikeout, but that's par for the course for the soft-throwing southpaw. Yarbrough was pulled after 69 pitches, preventing him from earning a win or a quality start, so his performance could have been better from a fantasy perspective. Still, it was refreshing to see the 28-year-old thrive after struggling down the stretch last season, and he should work his way to higher pitcher counts as the season progresses. Yarbrough will get a chance to build on his promising start to the campaign when he faces Atlanta on the road Thursday.
