Guardians Standout Player Of The Week: May 22Despite getting injured early in the week, Jose Ramirez is the standout player of the week after an impressive offensive show.
Javier Báez - Homers in win SundayBaez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Guardians.
ImpactBaez also struck out twice in the contest, and it's been a bit of a choppy first season in Detroit. The shortstop is batting just .207 with a .575 OPS and three home runs through 31 games. This was also Baez's first long ball since April 26, but he's been a streaky performer at times in the past, so a hot streak could be just around the corner with Sunday perhaps serving as the jumping off point.

Gregory Soto - Shuts door SundaySoto pitched a clean ninth inning to record the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.
ImpactThe ninth inning started ominously, as Soto hit leadoff man Josh Naylor. However, the lefty retired the next batter, then got Andres Gimenez to ground into a double play to end the game. Soto has had a few hiccups this season, but he now has seven saves in eight chances to go with a solid 2.92 ERA. He's also pitched well lately with no runs allowed and three saves in his last three appearances. Manager A.J. Hinch has shown confidence in Soto despite some ups and downs, and fantasy managers should continue to do the same while he remains Detroit's closer.

Alex Faedo - Records first MLB winFaedo (1-1) allowed two runs on six hits across 5.1 innings to earn the win Sunday against the Guardians. He walked two and struck out two.
ImpactFaedo had his Saturday start postponed due to inclement weather, so he had to wait an extra day before recording his first MLB win in his fourth career start. The righty has looked good in the early going, as he now has a 3.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 21 innings. He's not missing a ton of bats, however, with just 14 strikeouts. That gives Faedo a smaller margin of error, but he'll look to keep rolling in his next scheduled start Friday against this same Cleveland squad.
